MINING
DECISION
Prospector Can Hold
K. R. Lands

In a decision returned on de-
| murrer in the case of Anderson
VS.. Murphy, ct al in Reno, Judge
Moran placed an Interpretation
on the disputed law with regard
to mineral lands found on grants
by the Government to railroads.
The defendants in this suit
which has been going on for abouA
three years, were Tom Murphy
and Ed Klaus, both well-knOwn
Comstockers, and George Cole, al
SO we'll known here where he re
sided for some time and took an
active part in politics.
The decision held that the title
to mineral land in instances of
that kind does not rest with the
railroad parties to whom it is
transferred, irrespective of the
transfer by deed of parts of the
land by grant.
The suit was the result Of an
attempt on the part of Anderson
to dispossess Murphy and others
who had opened up ore on the
land which had been obtained by
purchase of Anderson from the
railroad company. The grant as
originally made to the Union Pa
cific included every alternate sec
ton of land for a distance of
twenty miles each side of the
track through Nevada.
The defendants claimed that
the mineral land was open to 10
cation and denied the railroads s
right to the mineral land in the
beginning and their right to
transfer it by deed to Anderson.
The contention of the defendants
was sustained. The decision was
rendered on a demurrer to the
amended answer of the defend
ants. The mining property over
which the suit arose is situated in
the Peavine district, 35 miles
from Reno and is considered to
be valuable property.-Chronicle.

MRS. CURRY
IS CALLED
BEYOND
Aged Lady an Early
Pioneer

Last night at her home in tins
city Mrs. Ann Curry, the oldest
woman resident of this section OF
Nevada, passed peacefully away
Death came in slumbers and the
aged and useful woman closed a
useful and fitting life.
Mrs. Curry was the widow OF
Abe Curry, one OF the real build
ers of this section and city. He
with his wife came to Carson IN
1860. He was constructing
Mason and builder and at once
became busy, his wife being a
great helpmate, and they became
popular among the CarsOnites.
During the time Abe Curry was
alive and he and his wife We're
making their home he construct
ed the Mint. the railroad shops.
the county building and the Cur
ry engine house. 1t was all true
work and yet reflects the charac-
ter of honesty that prevailed at
that time.
Following his death Mrs. Curry
reared her family in this city. She
lost her only son by accident.
The daughters. with the exception
of Miss Mettie. married and chill
dren followed. At the time OF
her death she was great, great,
grand mother. the latest member
Of the family tree being the in
FAINT child of Mr.. and Mrs. Ray
Robinson.
Mrs. Curry was horn in Edin-
borough. Scotland. "a wears and
8 months ago. She early came to
America and with her husband
came to California during the
gold rush. For many years she
has been home hody, mind clear
aud fond of saying things that
left smile and always Of good
cheer. Her remarkable brain re
tanned its vigor to the last. 1t
was long life of great useful
ness.
Her daughter. Mrs. Elvira
Cowan. has made her home with
her mother for several wears.
The other daughters. Mrs. Stur-
devant and Mrs. Hedrick. have
been notified Of the death and
will probably return to the family
home for the funeral services.

SOAKED SPIKE
IS REDEEMED

Word was received Friday from
Il. 0. Patterson, Receiver of the
Nye 4 Ormsby County Bank, that
President NJ. b. Cutter Of the To
nopah 4 Goldfeld has redeemed
his promise made at banquet at
Goldfeld some time ago, to pnr-
chase the Golden spike which was
used to mark the completion into
Goldfield of the r. 4 G. railroad.
The spike was checked" to the
bank several years ago by Alonzo
Tripp, formerly manager OF the
road, and sometime ago was sent
70 the Goldfeld Commercial AS
sociation Mt the instance of Presi-
dent Detch and other directors
who wished to have it preserved
as a souvenir of the early days OF
the camp and to prevent it's being
melted down for the gold it con-
tains.
Since it's arrival here the spike,
which was shown for time in the
Tribune window has repOsed in
the vault at the Tribune office for
safe keeping and on FRIDAY even
ing was turned over to the Off
cials Of the Commercial Associa-
ton who. in turn. will deliver it
to the officials of the T. & G. Rail
rOad.-Tribune.

Attorney General Baker
Hands Down Decision

the original Act a semi-colOn ap-
pears after the word "electOrs. y
while III the amendatory Act a
comma appears after the word
electors. The important con
sideration is whether the omission
OF the comma after vacancies in
the amended Act was intentional
or only a clerical errox,'
Following this the Attorney
General goes into detail! of the
grammatical construction of the
sentence and it's weight in law,
and says:
Without the comma the sense
Of this portion of the section be-
comes meaningless and cOntem-
plates departure from our po-
litical procedure which hereto
fore has never been conceived,
a special election to fill vacancy
to the nomination. etc. If the
Legislature intended to amend
this Act by emitting the comma,
it has done violence to every
known rule of syntax and gram
mar, for the use of the preposi-
tion to- following the word va
cancies," is certainly not good
grammar, and had such an
amendment been contemplated,
the word to- would have been
stricken out and in used in its
place.
Punctuation marks may, in
proper cases. be regarded as aids
in arriving at the correct mean
ing of statements in the statute.
but in constituting statutes. pune
tnation cannot be accorded a con-
trolling influence. Courts do not
hesitate to -pnnctuate when it
is necessary to arrive at the true
meaning"
The case is then further re
viewed and a number of citations
and opinions quoted. I'm conclu,
sion the opinion states:
"It is therefore the opinion Of
this Office that the omission of the
comma after the word 'vacan-
cies. as appears in the said amen
latOrv Act of 1911 of the Primary
Law of 1909. was due to a cleri-
cal error. and not a desire Or in
tention on the part of the Legisla-
ture Of 1911 to amend this said
Act in this particular.
"Yoa are therefore advised.
that under the direct primary law
rs originally passed and amended,
there is no authority therein for
YOU. as Secretary of State, in is
euing notice in writing designat-
ing the offices for which candi-
dates are to be nominated at such
primary election. to include in
4hc notice candidates for the Of

At the Republican meeting held

Presidential Electors which they
failed to name at the regular con
vention held at Fallon. the fol
lowing were named to go on the
ticket as the regular Taft elect
ors: W. NJ McGill of Ely; w.

Nelson of Humboldt. No other
names were mentioned and the
selection was made unanimous.
During the meeting Senator
Moorehouse explained to the
members how Taft secured his
nomination and contended that
Roosevelt was the one who would
have committed larceny and lifted
the nomination had he not been
headed off by the stand-patters.
