missioner Haviland, being the hold
over. was elected chairman for the
ensuing two years.
Salaries of the justices of the peace
at Paradise and National were fixed
by the board for the ensuing three
months, the former at $50 and the lat
ter at 800 per month each.
A call was made for county scrip

SOUTHERN PACIFIC ISSlfS
NEW MAP OF NEVADA

The Southern Pacific has just is
sued new map of Nevada, with a
comprehensive description of its re-
sources, development, topography and
climate. The folder contains write
up of the principal valleys of the
state, that regarding this section be-
ing as follows:
Along the Humboldt.
This is the chief river of Northern
Nevada, and its drainage system en-
braces about IL 600 square miles. 1t
is estimated that 175,000 acres of land
along this river and its tributaries are
in cultivation. The region has some
of the richest lands of Nevada.
The Loveock valley is near the
lower end of the Humboldt, and has
an immense depth of black silt, the
age long deposits Of the river. Great
crops of alfalfa are grown here, and
much stock is fed from the fields. Six
ty bushels of wheat to the acre have
been grown here, and seven tons of
alfalfa are common.
Here also under the Carey act water
is being impounded, and about 10000
acres Of desert land will be reclaimed
and water provided for 1900 acres
held in private ownership.
Railroad lands in the Winnemucea
country and along the Humboldt are
desirable and are being sold on long
time and at reasonable prices.
Northern Valleys.
Paradise valley is ON the Little
Humboldt river, and cultivates about
10000 acres Much arabic land should
be covered by better conservation of
the water supply. The valley has a
small town, flour mill, stores, hotels,
etc.
Northwest from Paradise valley
over a mountain range lies the valley
of Quinn river. This is a stock region
and some dry farming is being tried.
About $4,000 acres on the Quinn river
are being reclaimed and opened for
Sc ettlement.

EXTENSIVE BEDS OF FINE
OPALS in VIRGIN VALLEY

In Virgin valley, Humboldt eoun
ty, and close to the Washoe county
line. many mineral claims have been
staked the last few weeks because of
the discovery of excellent opals. Deb
Roop brought the news to Reno and
he predicts that many hundreds of
thousands of dollars of opals will be
taken out.
Roop has one and a fraction claims
and he believes he is in the best part
of the entire district. McGee has one
claim. the Tiffany interests of New
York have staked out some claims and
Los Angeles jeweler has cornered
twenty-five claims. DEMO is the near

Roop says Virgin valley was once
lake. The lake was bordered by
mahogany, oak and pine trees. There
came a volcanic disturbance and the
lake and trees were covered with vol
canic mud This was many thousands
of wears ago. The mahogany wood
opalized and it is from these the
present opals are being obtained.
In an area eight by fifteen feet on
the surface and going only to depth
of three and one-half feet, Roop took
out gems of an estimated value of
So 900. The opalized formation is
( believed to extend in a narrow path
/ for about fifteen miles.
Some of the more valuable gems
were being displayed in Reno by Roop
few days ago. They are in the
rough, but Roop intends to open an
establishment of his own for their re-
fning.

court DOES NOT
SANCTION R. R. DEAL

The United States Supreme Court
yesterday held that the plan advanced
by the Union Pacific attorneys for
disposing of the entire stockholdings
of the Union Pacific Railroad com
pany, in the Southern Pacific com
pany by transfer to the stockholders
of the Union Pacific company, would
not so effectually end the Union Pa
eific merger as to comply with its
dissolution decree.
Union Pacific attorneys claimed for
the Union Pacific stockholders the ex-
elusive privilege of taking over the
1926. $50 900 worth of Southern Pa
ciie stock, which the Supreme Court
found the Union Pacific Railroad com
pany owns In violation of the Sher-
man antitrust law.
Attorney General Wickersham op-
posed any plan that gave the Union
Pacific stockholders an exclusive privi-
lege of buying the Southern Pacific
stock in question.
He was willing to approve, how
ever, a plan fer the Union Pacific
stockholders to share in the distribu-
tion with the Southern Pacific stock
holders other than the Union Pacific
Railroad company.
Announcing the decision of the
court, Justice Day said:
"The proposal to distribute the
stock among the shareholders of the
Union Pacific company or to sell the
stock to such shareholders, if granted
will in effect transfer the stock from
the Oregon Short Line company
which now holds it for the Union Pa
cifc company, to the stockholders who
own and control the latter company
The court is of opinion that this dis
tribution of sale cannot be ordered
The ultimate determination of the af
fairs of a corporation rests with its
stockholders and arises from their
power to choose the governing board
of directors. After such distribution
as is now proposed, the stockholders
of the Union Pacific company may
dominate and control not only the
Union Pacific company but the South
ern Pacific company as well.
''In rejecting the proposal for the
transfer of the Southern Pacific com
pany's stock held for the Union Pa
eifc (either bv distribution among ol
sale to the stockholders of the Union
Pacific company we do not mean t.
preclude the District Court from con
sidering and acting upon plans which
may be submitted TO it under the for
mer opinion ard decree of the court
We are of the opinion, however, and
now hold that the proposed plan OF
disposition of the entire stockholdings
of the Union Pacific company in the
Union Pacific company will not sc
effectually end the combination as tC
comply with the decree heretofore or
dered to be entered by this court. -
Railroad attorneys had held that
Union Pacific shareholders should bt
recognized rs qualified buyers OF
Southern Paeifie stock Gin order that
they may have an opportunity to pro
tect themselves against sacrifice OF
this valuable asset covered by invest
ment'' .Thev claimed that the so
called controlling interest in the
Union Pacific held only 13 per cent OF
the stock would be able to buy only
six per cent of the total capitalization
of the Southern Pacific company.
Attorney General Wickersham held
that in the interest of competition the
two sets of stockholders should share
in buying the disputed stock.
