court SUSTA|NS
WILDCAT Law

The first test Of the so-called "Wild
cat Law has been made and has re-
suited in the sustaining of the law by
the supreme court. The case wherein
the test was made was that of the
State of Nevada on the relation Of r.
Z. Moore VS.. Manhattan Verde Mining
company. The decision was written by
Justice Sweeney and concurred in by
Justice Norcross and Justice Talbot.
The case was one of a writ of man.
damus to compel the officers Of the de-
fendant company to stamp the words
Treasury Stock and promotion
Stock as the case may be, upon the
stock of the company.
An act compelling this action was
passed by the last legislature for the
evident purpose of protection Of in
vestors by the markings on the stock
telling what the money paid for the
same was to be used for.
The ruling of the supreme court de-
fines the meaning of the two classes
and states that Treasury Stock" is
such stock as has been set aside for
the actual development of the property.
In other words that the money derived
from the sale of this stock will be
actually used in the development Of the
mining ground Of the company selling
the stock. "Promotion Stock" is such
stock as is issued to those who NAV
originally own the mining property or
valuable rights connected Herewith in
consideration of their deciding the prop
erty to the company when the company
is incorporated, or it may mean such
stock as is issued to promoters or
those in some way interested in the
company for services rendered in
launching the company, such as advanc-
ing the fees for the incorporation, sur
fees, advertising, etc. The
stock is of equal value unless otherwise
specified in the incorporation.

STATE BOARD OF PARDONS
WILL MEET THIS MONTH

The state board of pardons win meet
in Carson on the 18th of the present
month. Already a number of appli-
cants for pardon and parole have been
filed with the board and it is probable
that a number more will be filed this
week. 1t is understood that among
the applications that are in the hands
of the board is one for parole for
Smith, convicted with Preston for mur-
der, from Esmeralda county. A hard
fight will probably be made for the
man by the Western Federation OF
Miners.

In a fairly prosperous condition." said
Mr.. Norris, in conversation with a
representative of the Silver State. "At
present they number about $40, includ

them by the government in 1906. The

points in the state. There has been
considerable agitation for the estab-
lishment of day school at Winnemuc.

of the children similar to the one now
in operation at Lovelock, but should
one be established here there is no
good reason why schools should not be
opened at all the other points where q
few Indian families are congregated,
and the expense would be out of pro-
portion to the benefits received -

TAFT W|THDRAWS
PUBLIC LANDS

Continuing his policy of praetica
conservation, President Taft Wednes
day signed orders to withdraw 35,073,
164 acres of coal lands from the pub
lie domain in the states of North and
South Dakota, Washington, Utah
Colorado and the territory of Arizona.
Of the total Withdrawals 20,698, ,469
acres are new, while 14,374,69 acres
are covered in confrmations an ratifi-
cations under the new law. approved
June 25, of Withdrawals made during
the last four years of both Presidents
Roosevelt and Taft.
North and South Dakota are the
two states affected by the new with
drawals. From the public domain in
North Dakota the president has with
dawn from settlement 17,S28,1S2 acres
of land, believed to contain workable
coal, and in South Dakota the amount
withdrawn is 18,287 ,270 acres.
Withdrawals Confirmed.
Previous Withdrawals confirmed by
the president are divided among the
several states as follows:
Washington, 2,207, ,967 acres; Ari-
zona, 161,2S0 acres; Utah, 5,814,2S7
acres, and Colorado 6,191 ,161 acres.
All the Withdrawals and confrma-
tions were made under the law passed
at the last session of congress which
definitely authorized the president to
withdraw various lands from entry
pending their classification and special
disposition by congress.
The president urged this law as the
first step in his plan for practical con-
servation. He hopes to secure addi-
tional legislation at the coming SEES
sion of congress dealing with the terms
under which water power sites, coal,
petroleum and phosphate lands may be
disposed of.
Date Of Withdrawals.
In Colorado the various orders of
withdrawal confirmed date from July
26. 1906, to June 21, 1910; in Utah
from July 26, 1906, to May 9, 1910; in
Arizona from November 29, 1909,to De-
cember 2S, 1909, and in Washington
from July 26, 1906, to April z, 1910.
In Withdrawing the vast amount Of
new lands in North and South Dakota,
the president and Secretary Ballinger
have acted principally on report by
Arthur G. Jaffa, a practical miner en-
ployed by the geological survey.
Director George Otis Smith Of the
geological survey in his recommends
tion for Withdrawals in North and
South Dakota, says:
GA consideration of the information
available here as well as Of the report
of Mr.. Jeffa leads us to the conclusion
that there are large areas in these
states which are underlaid by Ignite
considered workable under the present
regulations and which should be with
drawn from entry
All the orders state that the lands
are withdrawn from section. location,
sale or entry and reserved for exami-
notion and classification with respect
to coal values.
President Taft earlier this week
signed orders Withdrawing approx
mately $4,000 acres of water power
sites, phosphate and petroleum lands in
the United States and all of the known
coal fields in Alaska.

STALL BROTHERS HAVE MIR
ACULOUS ESCAPE FROM DEATH
While Sorting Ore at Bottom Of 40FOOt Shalt They Are Bur
led Under Several Tons Of Rock, Sustaining
Serious Injuries camp Notes

At 7 O'Clock last evening, after the
shots had been fred at the bottom OF
the 4O0-foot shaft on the Stall lease
at National, Frank Stall, George Stall
and William Lehman, their half broth
er, descended to sort out the high.
grade. They had been engaged at the
work but few moments when, without
warning, about three tons of rock fell
from the hanging-wall, completely
burying the Stall brothers. While con-
siderably scratched and bruised, Mr..
Lehman escaped without serious injury
and at once ascended the shaft and
summoned help. President Pelton, of
the National Mining company, with a
force of ready volunteers, was soon on
the ground and the two men were
brought to the surface without delay,
George Stall, the last one to be brought
up, having remained buried for perhaps
thirty minutes.
DIR. 8. J. King and DIR. P. J. Mangan,
who were summoned from Winnemuc-
ca, left town for camp at about
O'Clock, accompanied by Mrs N. H.
Hicks, trained nurse, in Smith g auto.
IL answer to a telephone inquiry at 9
o. 'clock this morning by the Silver
State, DIR. King stated that they arriv-
ed at the Stall lease at about 2:30
o. 'elock this morning, and upon ex-
animation found that George Stall had
sustained a fracture of the right
and of the left leg, between
the knee and hip, while Franks right
leg had been fractured in two places
below the knee. DR.. King fur
ther stated that he and DR.. Mangan
had just completed the task of reduc-
ing the fractures and that the patients
were evidently resting easily. AL
though it may develop that both men
have sustained internal injuries, is is
at this time to ascertain
their extent, but DR.. King is of opinion
that, unless complications should set
in, the injured men will soon recover.
