Important Decision
On Mining Stocks

One of the most important decisions
in this State for some time was handed
down recently by Judge NJ. r Averill
of the f ith judicial court. The opinion
is in the cases Of r. B. Govan and g. w.
Sum merHsld versus Chris Malatasta.
which were brought to recover stock.
An attempt was made to attach the
stock on the books of the mining com
panies, as the shares had passed out OF
the hands of the defendant, although
they still remained in his name on the
books. Judge Averill found that the
mining company was not responsible
for the shares. This was the first time
the question had been ruled upon ID
this State and the court was forced to
a great deal of trouble in securing de
cisions to work upon, no precedent nav
ing been established by the Supreme

the rich Surprise Valley country. and
also the Lakesiew territory in southern

Heretofore, the rates have been so
