100000 SHARES
MERGER STOCK
IN BALANCE

In the case of l.. w. Smith VS.. the
Goldfeld Merger Mines company, an
action brought to compel the transfer
of SOC, 900 shares of Merger Mines
stock on the books of the company,
Judge Stevens Saturday afternoon
oyerruled a demurrer to the complaint,
putting the matter up to a question OF
answer and trial.
On a Judgment secured by l.. w.
Smith of San Francisco against Claude
Smith of Goldfeld for about $4,000, tao
100000 shares of stock were attached
here and sold to the holder of the judg-
ment. The Merger Mines company re-
fused to transfer the block of stock,
and the suit now pending was institut-
ed. The demurrer to the complaint
was made on the ground that the com-
pany was a foreign company and that
the attachment mace here for that rea-
son was not legal. The court held that
the attachment was good because the
complaint showed that the corporation
had practically migrated to Nevada
and for the purposes of the suit might
be treated as a Nevada corporation, es'
pecially in that its papers showed that
it intended to come to this state.
The point decided is a comparatively
new and important one, and a probable
appeal to the supreme court will be
watched with interest.
Campbell, Metson and Brown, Huger
Wilkerson, Walter Shelton and Claude
Gillespie represented the plaintiff in
the case.

MOFFAT ROAD MAY
Use The RIO GRANDE

DENVER, Nov. %. A letter wiz
ten by William G.. Evans, vice presi-
dent of the Denver K Northwestern
railroad (the Moffat road) and address
ed to David Moffatt, president of the
road, which was made public, is inter
preted by many as indicating more
clearly the likelihood of the Moffat
road using the Denver & Rio GRANGE
tracks to reach Salt Lake.
The letter speaks favorably of the
suggestion that the Moffat road build
a cutoff from Crested, on the Moffat
road. to Dotsero, on the Rio Grande'
This has been spoken of as a possibili:;
many times, but never before has il
received anything like official approval

Mr.. Evans refers ~approvingly also tt
the proposal to build a tunnel througs
the main range of the Rockies from
Tolland, asserting that eighteen mile
of distance could be done away with
as well as a 2000-foot climb, which i

WILL give VEGAS
$4,000 PAY roll

The great machine shops of the San
Pedro, Los Angeles and Salt Lake Rail
road Co., which have been building in
Las Vegas for nearly two years past,
will throb with life this month. The
first installment of about 100 men have
been put to work, says the Arrowhead,
the official publication Of the com
pany.
AS the work becomes systematized
the force will be gradually increased
until, after the completion of the large
storehouse now under way and the
great car shops which will be pushed to
completion as soon as possible, several
hundred men will be added to the pay
roll of the railroad in Las Vegas. The
shops, when they reach their full en-
pacity, will bring the railroad payroll
close to $4,000 per month in Las We
gas. The increase in the force will
necessarily be gradual, but the stimu-
lating effects of increased population
and payroll should make business in
Vegas very good the coming year.
