THIEVERY PREVAILS
NORTH OF town

Residents in the northern part or
Goldfeld in the neighborhood of Co.
lumbia and Oak streets, believe that an
epidemic of burglarles in that viclniFy
Is prevalent at the present time. M
merous houses and cabins have been
entered by the marauders, and IN some
Instances articles of value have been
taken from the premises.
On Sunday night the cabin known as
S4S Columbia street was entered ana
thoroughly ransacked. A short time
ago a burglar was tracked in that DIS
trict and was caught red handed burg
larizing a cabin. The man was III
possession Of tools which enabled HIN
to enter the house without much trou
BILE. The parties observing him were
young men, who refused to make !
report to the sheriff's Office on th'
ground that they would be Obliged u
lose a days time if they were forced U
appear against the offender. The won
en- of the neighborhood are thoroughly
alarmed we the condition which pre-
walls, and each one feels that her honi
may he the next one visited by tn
thieves. The failure of the residents .
make the operations of the offender
Known to the officers has probably mad
them more open and brazen IN the'
actions, and unless information is give
TO the proper authorities some serioo
crimes may be expected.

B0TSFORD CASE
IS FINALLY
settled

Arrangements entered into several
weeks ago have finally brought about
a settlement IN the famous B~otsford
case. While the parties to the litiga-
tion are retieent regarding the terms
of the settlement, it is understood that
to the successful contestants and their
counsel approximately $200,000 has
been distributed. The verdict in the
suit ave to the plaintiffs about 10000
shares of Consolidated stock. Since
the stock became involved dividends
to the amount of nearly 100000 have
accumulated, making a total, under the
verdict, providing a compromise had
not been made, of approximately $780,
600.
As to what Botsford received under
the settlement is not known. As be-
tween the two successful litigants, l..
C. Van Ripper and Joseph Hutchinson,
1T is understood the latter received the
bulk of the net proceeds. For services
extending over a period of about three
years, the law firm OF Detch, Carney &
Stevens, the latter having been a mem
Der of the firm during the time of the
trial, have or will receive a fair poS-
tion of the settlement, as will also 9th
er attorneys in other parts of the state
who aided the cause of the contestants.
Within the past few days there has
been paid by Joseph Hutchinson to
bondsmen who qualified to insure the
issuance of an order restraining the
Consolidated Mines company from
transferring the stock ON the books OF
the company, and to others who aided
the plaintiffs in the case, the sum of
about $4,000. Among the b%ondsmen
were the following: T. D.. Murphy
Henry Weber, Al Dutton, Tom Gin,
George Holleran, Harry Mcmillan.

New Ore Body
Is Uncovered In
the West End

What may prove to be one of the
most important finds ever made in the
West End mine was encountered a fen
days ago in the workings on the 400
foot level. While sending a south cross
cut ahead from the west drift ON this
level a body of ore was encountered at
a point about 500 feet northwest of No.
2 shaft which is as rich as anything YET
found on the property. At the point of
intersection the vein had a width of
four feet all carrying high grade ship
ping values, with streaks and lunches
of very rich ore. A west drift was
started on the new find and has now
followed the vein for over Is feet,
showing the ore body to be maintain
ing its strength and values, with the
face full of excellent ore. This is an
entirely new ore body, and from all an
pearances is a new vein, but further
work may prove it to be a branch of
the main vein of the property. The
find was made in a large block of new
ground which was being prospected By
a south crosscut, consequently there is
ample room for development both OH
its strike and dip, with good prospects
of encountering other veins or branch
es. Not far from where this discovery
was made a northwest crosscut is beng
sent out to pick up the continuation of
the vein which has been furnishing the
entire output of the MacNamara mine
for several months, and which has been
mined to the westerly limits of that
eompany's ground. Adjoining the
westerly end of the MacNamara ground
is the California claim of the West End
Consolidated, and as the ore body has
been proven to continue from the Mac
Namara into this ground, the crosscut
is being sent out to intersect it. This
same vein has been encountered by an
~upraise from the 400 level near the
south boundary line of the MacNamara
property and intermediate drifts sen.
out from the raise are developing a
strong body of milling ore.
Immediately following the news OF
the discovery, the stock of the com
pany advanced about ten points and
has since been selling for 60 and 81
with a number of transactions record
ed. A great number of West En-
shares are held by Tonopah people, and
especially among the miners. They
were the first to place buying orders
and consequently made a neat profit OF
the action of the stock.-Tonopah Bo
nanza.

Honduras Closely
Watch Americans

PUERTO CORTEZ, Honduras, Dee.
10 (via New Orleans, Dec. l5).-A
guard is placed every night around the
hotel here where foreign visitors and
business men stay. Ostensibly this is
for their protection, but the real OBJ
iect is to watch the action of Amerl-
cans.
The government fears a revolution
and suspects that American soldiers OF
fortune may be masked behind every
Yankee passport. Ordinarily, business
continues undisturbed. The Honduras
gunboat LaTumla keeps steam up day
and night. She is equipped with krupp
guns of small caliber and has expert
gunners on board.

WELLS FARGO To
TEST TAX Law

The delinquent list this year will be
larger than last and include two of the
largest taxpayers of the county, the
Tuscarora Mines company and the
Wells Fargo Express company. There
will be about 100 delinquent taxpayers,
the majority from the new TOWNSHIP OF
Contact, Gold Circle and Peals addition
to Toano, people who invtsed In choice
lots when the boom was on, which now
can be bought in for taxes.
The action of the Wells-Fargo CON-
pany in letting their taxes go del'n-
auent can only be inferred as a test
on the legality of the tax rate, raised
az the last meeting of the state boar1
of assessors. The express company
claims that they are being discriminat-
ed against, that they are paying more
taxes in proportion to the property
owned than other property owners. II
the express company does contest the
taxes of Elko county it means a long
expensive legal battle.
The Tuscarora Mines company taxes
are expected to be paid, it being al
oversight on their part in letting then
90 delinquent. The tax list VIII be
published probably next EXC

STIPULATION is
ENTERED into
BY Counsel

The remitsitur in the case az the
Goldfeld Mohawk Mining company
against the Franees-M Mohawk Mining &
Leasing company, which was decided
in the Supreme Court of Nevada on
Dec. 2, was received by County Clerk
Hamilton yesterday afternoon.
The decision in the case was sent
down to the lower court in such haste so
as to allow the lower court to carry out
and perfect the order made by the SUI
preme court. The decision, which IS
based upon the failure of Judge Stew
ems to rule upon the question of the IN
suficiency of the evidence to justify
the verdict is quite a lengthy one, and
while other points of law were raised
on the argument on appeal, the present
decision is based solely upon the one
point quoted above.
On Dec. IL the plaintiff and defend
ant, represented by their respective
counsel, entered into a stipulation,
which is made a part of the remittitur,
in which it is agreed that the remitti-
tur issue at once, and that, in the event
of the lower court denying the motion
for a new trial upon the ground of tho
insuficieney of the evidence to justify
the verdict, that the appellant, the
Frances Mohawk Mining and Leasing
company, may have its exceptions
thereto and that the proceedings on this
motion be certified to the supreme
court and made a part of the original
record on appeal.
1t is also agreed by the stipulation
that if a new trial be granted upon the
question of evidence, the Goldfeld No
hawk Mining company may, within 80
DAYS, serve upon the leasing company
its specifications of error, based upon
the record in the supreme court.
1t is further agreed that the supreme
court retain all jurisdiction of the case
for the purpose of passing upon the APP
neal should the same become necessary.
This stipulation is made necessary for
the reason that Judge Stevens, who
heard the case when the verdict for
$75. 900 was rendered for the Goldfeid
Mining company, will go out of Office
on the first Of the year, and it is neees-
sary for him to rule upon the question
of a new trial.
Thompson, Morehouse and Thompson
signed the stipulation on behalf of the
Frances Mohawk company, and Henry
M. Hoyt represented the Goldfeld Mo
hawk Mining company.
