VERDICT REVERSED IN
FRANCES CASE

CARSON CITY, Dec. 3. = The Sa.
preme Court of the state of Nevada, in
an opinion written by Judge Sweeney
and concurred in by Judges Talbot and
Norcross, reversed the decision of the
,..strict court in the case of the Gold
field Mohawk Mining company against
the Frances Mohawk Mining and Leas-
ing company.
The case was tried in the district
court of Esmeralda county, Judge Stew
ems bc.ag the trial judge, and after o.
cupying about the period of a month
before being submitted to- the jury, n
verdict was rendered in favor of the
Goldtield Mohawk Mining company.
In the decision rendered by the su-
preme court yesterday the ruling in IA
vor of a new trial is based upon the
statement of the trial judge, in his re-
fusal to grant new trial upon the in
sufficiency Of the evidence to sustain
the verdict. The opinion of the court
says:
"Being of the opinion that the trial
court erred, under his erroneous concep-
ton Of the law, in failing and refusing
to pass upon the motion for new trial,
in so far as the ground interposed by
defendant of insufficiency of evidence
TO Justify the verdict, because, accord
ing to this personal view entertained,
he did not deem it his privilege or
duty to consider this matter for the
reason it had been passed upon by a
jury, and believing that justice de
mands that the lower court should pass
upon this motion for new trial, 1t
should be, and the same is hereby Sc.
aside, with instructions to the court be
low to consider and pass upon the
ground for new trial interposed by
defendant of the insufficiency of the

GET Two VEINS ON
GOLDfIELD BELMONT

Development work in the Belmont
lease on the Goldfeld Belmont at Dla'
mondfeld is progressing satisfactorily,
and the showing in ore is quite encouT-
aging to the syndicate of Goldfeld men
back of the work.
In drifting from the 300 level two
streaks of vein matter, one foot ana
half and the other two feet, have
been entered, the assay returns from
which average about $12 The streaks
are widening as the work is being pur-
sued, and it is though probable tha'
the leasers will eventually get INTO

DAYS of this company dividends were

The case reversed by tho supreme
court was probably the most important
ever tried in southern Nevada. II
grew out of the leasing operations of
ID. Mackenzie & Co. in the Goldfield
district. The Frances Mohawk Mining
and Leasing company was one of their
fotations and operated on what is now
a part of the Goldfeld Consolidated es
tate. Upon the surrender of its lease,
the Frances Mohawk was sued for dam
ages on account of the condition in
which the property was left after
fabulous amount of ore had been ex-
tracted. The case came on for trial
before Judge Theron Stevens and was
prosecuted on behalf of the Goldfeli
Mohawk Mining company by Attorneys
Bryant and o 'Brien. The interests of
the leasing company were looked after
by Powers and Marioneau of Salt Lake
City and Frank j. Hangs of Goldfeld.
The case was bitterly fought and occu-
pied the attention of the court and jury
for about four weeks. A verdict of
$4,000 was rendered for the parent
company. Upon the motion for new
trial, Judge Stevens made the remarks
upon which the case is remanded to the
district court for further consideration.
The argument of the case in the su
preme court on behalf of the Frances
Mohawk Mining and Leasing company
was made by the Goldfeld law firm OF
Thompson, Morehouse and Thompson,
who about a year ago were employer
by the d. Mackenzie company to look
after all their litigation in this DIS
trict.

Goldfeld has the mine that pays the
largest dividends of any gold mine N
the world. In fact the Goldfield Con-
solidated pays larger dividends than
any other mine of any kind-copper,
lead or silver, and pays larger divi-
dends that the great American Smelt-
ing and Refining company or any Of
the seven metalIurgical companies, and
pays greater dividends than any of the
leading securities holding corporations.
BY careful compilation the Mining
World is able to show that during the
eleven months of 1910 there was paid
to holders of stock of 135 American
mines and metallurgical works, $685.
94S, 1869. Not included in this amount
is the 1854, ,45S disbursed by mine So
curities holding corporations, which
look for their profits from stocks owned
in other corporations. Since incorpora.
ton these 1875 mines and works paid out
in the shape Of dividends the enor-
nous total of $701 ,9s6,2Ss. On the is
sued capital of these copnaaies, which
is $611 ,913,734, this is a return equiva-
lent to la per cent and return to
shareholders in excess of capitaiizatioa
of $s9, 9,53S,55f.
At the head of the dividend list for
the year stand the companies classe1 as

of these have, so far this year, divided
among their shareholders S29,357 500.
making a grand total since .peorpora-
tion of $2l9 400, ,S61. This is equivalent
to an S5 per cent return on the out
standing capitalization of $256,23O,17c.

stallments, if necessary. One share OF
the new company is to bc offered for
two Of the old, which would require
800 900 of the new shares and leave
100000 in the treasury, part OF which
would be offered for sale to raise funds
for future work without making any
assessment at this time. After the
proceeds of the treasury stock are ex-
hausted it is proposed to levy quarterly
assessments Of five cents on the stock
to provide funds for further develop
ing the property. If the future de-
velopment warrants the construction Of
reduction plant bonds win be issued.
One feature of the plan is that at least
semi annual statements Of the company
affairs shall be published and a copy
sent to every shareholder of record.
The suggestion of sale Of the Juni-
per claim is said to have originated IN
the east as a part of a reorganization
plan formed there which will be strong
ly opposed by Ely shareholders and
Receiver Millard, who do not believe
any such action necessary at this time.
The issuance of receivers certificates
to pay of the liens and other claims
against the company is opposed by
Samuel w. Belford, as attorney for. the
creditors. A straight loan could be ne
gotiated by the receiver if necessary,
but it is probable that nothing win be
done for several days toward raising
funds.
The Ely plan of reorganization Is
very similar to the one adopted con-
pie of years ago by the Boston Ely,
which was acceptable to the shareholsl-
ers of the original company, and on the
surface appears more favorable to the
investors than the eastern plan.

Liberals Not Strong Enough to In
auguratc Radical Changes.
LONDON, Feb. Placing a po-
liticaI situation unparalleled in the
history of the United Kingdom, the
British parliament convened today
for the third session of King Ed
wards reign. A full court ceremony
in which the king and royal family
participated, marked the beginning
of the great legislative struggle.
The Liberals have not a clear
majority in the House of Commons,
and a coalition with the Nationalist
and Laborites will not have sufTi-
cient authority to inaugurate any
radical constitutional changes. The
Liberals themselves are divided on
the matter of policy, the modetrates
contending that it Is essential that
the budget be handed first. while
the radical insist that the question
of the House of Lords right to veto
is the paramount issue.
1t is predicted in some quarters
that there will be another election
this summer. on the assumption thai
the House of Lords will reject any
bills the government sends It deal
ing with the constitution of the
House. and the government will ther
be forced to appeal to the country.

WASHINGTON Feb. 19.-After
jotting down the above figures and
taking a glance ct his bank book, Sen
ator Flint of California held up his
right hand and cried, Never again."
So he is going back home to Los
Angeles to exc out a miserable ex-
istence with a pitiful law practice
that will probably net him only $780,
600 or $4,000 a year. But, at
home he'll not be obliged to accept
dinner invitations from Senator
Moneybags and Ambassador Goldbug
and return them next week or next
month. Neither will he be called
upon to maintain a political organi-
cation in every one of CALIFORNIA;

angle" said Senator Flint, land
have come to the conclusion that the
United States senate is no place for
poor man if he halls from Cali
fornia and must make his campaign
every six years under the new di-
rect primary Jaw. How much will
the next campaign cost? don't
know; haven't the remotest idea.
Nobody has. for it hasn't been tried
yet. But I'd have 20 maintain an
organization in every congressional
district and every county. Califor-
mia is more than 1000 miles long.
Therefore I'd have to cover a terri
tory as long as from Maine to the
