they may DO. II the advice OF the
attorney-general is to be accepted
in its literal sense. there is no limit
TO the power that the board of
commissioners could exercise. 1t
will be remembered that the board
empowered special counsel to as
sist in the prosecution of McMur-
ray; but when the bill of the at
torney was rendered for his SER
vices in that prosecution objection
was made TO the bill on the ground
that the commissioners had exceed
ed their authority in employing
special counsel There was never
any question as to the fact that the
services had been rendered or that
the attorney had well earned his fee,
but the bill has not been paid and
never will be paid. The matter was
finally disposed of in the district

perpetual injunction was issued re-
lstraining the county auditor from
drawing a warrant in payment OF

and Immediately commence opera
tons on the Cotter Mines company
holdings. The property, located As
10 claims, all located in a highly
mineralized territory. In speaking
Of the property to a Bonanza repre-
sentative Captain Cotter said that
already on the main ledge, which
is two feet wide, had been sunk to
depth of $50 feet About $500
feet of lateral work has been ac-
complished throughout the under
ground workings Gold is the pre-
dominating metal, the ore assaying
$40 per ton. The present work will
be confined to the development of
the second shaft, which lies 1400
feet northwest of the main work
ings At the present time this is
140 feet deep. 1t was sunk close to
n contact vein which lies between
a rhyolite and andecite formation
In all probability the company
will build mill to reduce then
ore, as the cost of transportation
from that district to Tonopah is very
high.
