From Mines and Oil Fields
GREAT GOLD MINE
MAY co FOR SONG
Annie Laurie Sale Is to Satisfy
Claims Amounting to
Only $4,000

Fully 100 mechanics lien claimants
are interested in the sale of the prop
erty of the Gold Mountain Consolidat-
ed Mining company at Kimberly. in
Nevada, which is to take place within
so days, under order of Judge Chris
tianson, the full amount of the indebt-
edness being only $4,000. These claim
ants are largely residents of Piute
county, who are naturally almost as
anxious that the property should pass
to strong hands as they are to derive
from the sale the money that is due
them.
The property to be sold includes the
old Annie Laurie mine, which for years
was one of the leading gold producers
of the country. 1t comprises alto
gether more than 100 patented claims
and has thousands of tons of ore de-
veloped underground. The mine has
a production record OF $4,000. 900, with
a half a million dollars paid in divi-
dends. At one time shares of the An
ME Laurie sold for 50. The property
as 1t stands today Is extensively
equipped, 1t has cyanide plant of
200 daily capacity and three large hy-
dro-electric power plants.
About the time of the 1907 panic the
Annie Laurie and a number of sur
rounding properties were taken over
by eastern people and consolidated in
to one company with the idea of con-
Quoting operations upon a much larg-
er scale than had before been attempt
ed. The panic prevented the conclud-
ing of financing arrangements, which
were well under way, resulting in the
closing of the mines and the placing of
the mechanics liens.
Not a doubt Is entertained that with
good management the property could
be quickly restored to the dividend
class.

"If Judge cannot be trusted to act
according to law, then this form of
government is failure. When a judge
is thus attacked it tends to drag the
court into the strife Of litigation, to
place the judge on trial and to detract
attention from the real issue. Judicial
proceedings must be conducted by hu-
man beings. The administration of the
law will as closely approximate perfec-
tion as the limitations OF the persons
exercising the authority will allow.
Confidence should be drawn from the
circumstances that surround the Of
fice-the exalted position which the
judge occupies, that he is the chosen
representative of a free people in mat
ters of liberty and justice and the oath
of office under which he acts. He
should not be harassed or made to
become a judge militant. The public
should rely on him to maintain the in
tegrity of the courts and to prevent,
as near as possible, the manipulation
of judicial process. 1t tends to break
down the law to have judges attacked
in the discharge of their duty.

PENSION FOR
YOUNG WIDOWS
SEVERAL THOUSAND HELPMATEs
OF UNION SOLDIERS ARE IN
NEED OF GOVERNMENT AID
FAVORABLE REPORT EXPECTED
BY Associated Press.

Washington, Feb. 14.-The young
widows are coming in for their share
in Uncle Sans generosity in the
shape of pensions. The present pen
sion law grants annuity only to the
widows of the civil war who were
married before June, 1880. Many of
the old soldiers have helpmates since
that date and for the last twenty
years congress has been besieged in
the intent of the multitude. There
are now between 10000 and $4,000
of them and the pressure has become
so strong that the senate commit
tee on pensions decided to meet today
for the purpose of taking up the
question. 1t is considered probable
that a favorable report will be made
within a comparatively short time.
The house committee also has agreed
to consider the subject and the init
nations are that the report from that
committee will be favorable.
Ii the bill should become q law 1t
should add from 100000 to 1900, 900
of dollars to the pension roll. There
is special provision in the bill re-
quiring that in order to become
beneficiary any widow must have
lived with her soldier husband at
least three years. This requirement
Is inserted to protect the veterans
from the wiles of women who might
seek only to put themselves in the
way OF becoming subjects of Uncle
Sans charitable ministration.
The bill has the sanction of the
grand army of the republic.

DEPARTMENT ASSERTS ITS
FRIGHT OVER U. S. BUREAU TO
MAKE WEATHER PREDICTIONS.
BY Associated Press.

New Orleans, Feb. 14.-Forecasts
for mariners constitute a mooted point,
So far as the basis of official predic-
tions are concerned. Several days ago
a local official of the United States
weather bureau asserted the pre-emi-
nent qualification of that department
to make such forecasts. Now comes
an equally high official Of the hydro
graphic department at New Orleans
with the assertion that his bureau is
the proper one to save those who go
down to the sea-"
Not the Isobars and the Isotoms, :"
he says, nor the direction of the
winds, Of weather conditions, are i'm
portant to the navigation of today, but
the magnetic delineation of the COM
pass, the direction and strength of
currents, the position and drift Of ice
and derelicts, are the determining
features"
For this reason, he maintained, the
photographic offices should have con-
troll of the pilot charts. AT the same
time the issuance by the weather bu-
reau of a chart which closely re-
sembles the pilot chart is condemned.
