DECISION
IN MINING CASE
PLACER SUIT AGAINST GLASGOW
4 WESTERN PARTIALLY
SUCCESSFUL.

Judge Harrington in the United
States court at Carson City, New,
has rendered a decision in the suit
involving 2,4O0 feet of the gulch in
Copper anyon the effect of which
is to leave 1850 feet of it in control
of the Glasgow & Western Explora-
ton interests and open $50 feet of
the disputed gulch to placer location.
The Glasgow & Western people
were owners of the Copper Canyon
Mines property consisting of a large
number of claims, but three of which,
however, overlap the gulch and are
thus involved in this litigation. JOS
eph Ralph, l%iquidator of the Glasgow
& Western, has received the follow
ing summary of Judge Farrington's
decision:
My judgment is that the west side
line of the Salt Lake No. 8 lode claim
should be drawn parallel to h pres
ent side line three hundred feet west
of the center of the Salt Lake lode as
disclosed in the excavations at the
mill and teaching plant. The west
side line of the Midas should be
drawn parallel to the present side
line, three hundred feet west of the
center of the Midas lode, as shown
in the shaft designated as shaft 3.
The east side line of the Evening
Star should be drawn parallel to the
present side line three hundred feet
east of the center of the vein which
is disclosed in a cut designated as
open cut B. Land not included with
in the lode line thus drawn is subject
to the placer location. Each party
will pay his own costs and have twen-
ty days within which to take such
steps as he may be advised.
Judge F~arringtOn's decision is
based on the theory that the locators
were entitled on each claim to only
800 feet on each side of the discov-
cry point. On the Salt Lake claim
No. 3 this cut off $50 feet of the
west side of the company's ground.
This is the claim farthest north. The
other two claims are to the south,
and adjoining. For the same reason
the Midas side line was cut off 100
feet on the west side and the Eve
ming Star claim cut off fifty feet on
the east side line.
Mr.. Ralph declares his intention to
appeal the case and fight it through
the supreme court of the United
States if necessary. One of the
charges made by the men who
jumped the ground by locating plac,
err claims last summer was that the
Glasgow & Western had abandoned
the ground. but Mr.. Ralph declares
the company and it's predecessors
have held the Salt Lake claim for
thirty years and that more than $780,
900 has been spent On the claim.
The buildings of the company were
erected on the disputed ground and
it is declared that there has never
been a day in all that time but what
a man has been stationed on the
property. In 1912 a number of new
buildings were erected there.
Mr.. Ralph says the supreme courts
of Utah and Nevada have held that
%undisputed possession for two years
in Nevada and five years in Utah con-
stitutes an ~unbreakable title. These
claims are now in process of patent
by Mr.. Ralph as liquidator. This is
a part of the rich placer ground of
Copper canyon, which has created
such a Juror the past year.-Salt

OUTPUT

The Seven Troughs Coalition mine
which has a record Of production run
ming up into the big figures, and
which fell into evil ways when a baf-
fling fault was run into on the tenth
level, now is producing at a splendid
pace.
l.. A. Friedman, president and
general manager of the company, and
owner of control of the stock, is at
the Golden. He says that the output
last month exceeded $4,000, that
the lowest working is now $50 feet
teen inches shows as well across as
$500 to the ton, with an additional
foot of $50 ore; that the lowest e
age sample taken of the rich portion
was $40.
The mill is running internationally
on the ore and a close extraction is
being secured. The ledge below
where the fault was picked up is
walled by basalt and andesite and has
about two inches of gauge on each
side of the ore. Intermediates have
been run and the faces, Mr.. Fried
man says, are all in ore.
Mr.. Friedman has purchased a 10
horsepower hoist, which is being in
stalled. The incline shaft will be
sem down an additional hundred feet
and stopping begun on the vein. The
ore that is being milled has prac-
tically all come from development
work, the headings being out about
200 feet.-Reno Gazette.

THE MUSICALE WAS
 A GRAND SUCCESS

A rare treat and quite the most notable event of the season was the musicale given by Mrs. w. R. Black. Holbrook's efficient music teacher, when on Wednes- day evening last at the Pastime Theatre, the music loving popula- tion was gwen an opportunity to hear some of the best musical talent of the state.
 Mrs. Black opened the recital with a piano solo. ''The Palms, :" an Extremely difficult piece, fol- lowed in perfect order and bar mony by her pupils with piano solos and duets, whose rendition of their respective parts prove their ability and gives promise of their becoming finished music ians. Each and every member of the class deserves special men, tion and the thunderous applause with which their respective num- bers were recieved prove the ap- preciation and sympathy of the large audience.
 Little Lorena and Edna Black brought down the house in a storms of applause with their rendition, in sweet childish voices, Underneath the Cotton Moon."
 Besides the music class the program, included Mrs. James Willard Bazell who delighted the audience with a violin solo, re- spending graciously to a hearty encore. Mrs. J. w. Taft sang "Springtide" in a clear soprano voice; Miss Mechanism sang sweetly My Lady's Bower, |" responding with a catchy little Piccaninny song; Miss Maida Daley sang in a wonderfully clear sweet voice, ''Till The Sands of the Desert Grow Cold" responding to an encore with "Aileen" The vocal trio. compos- ed of Mrs. J. w. Taft, Mss Phoebe Miller and MT. John Mill CT charmed the audience. Messrs. Q. R. Gardner. Close. Leopold and Miller composed the Male quartet and their numbers were encored heartily.
 Upon every hand one hears words of genuine praise and ap- preclation for the class as well for those who ably assisted in making the evening one of rare pleasure for those attending and to Mrs. Black much credit is due for her efforts and the success of her class.
 The stage was a bower of beauty, being attractiYeIy dec orated with pennants and cut flowers for the occassisn.

In prohibition states, where the
llquor sellers are outlaws, lodging
about from cellars to back alleys.
they have no political influence and
little voice in the naming of candi-
dates. No honest man who has taken
an active part in politics and knows
the inside workings of the game
Will contend that the saloon influ-
ence has ever been used to create "a
healthy public sentiment in favor of
reforms" On the contrary, it has
Invariably been thrown in favor of
men and measures inimical to social
morality and political progress.
The most effective method of de-
veloping men and women who will
shun intoxicating liquor because of
principle and not because of law, is
to put the ban of public disapproval
upon the sale of liquor and to abolish
the pernicious example set by men
and women who drink in public.
The moderate drinker, who is will
ing to run the risk of making an
inebriate of another weaker person
by his or her example, should not be
encouraged and abetted by society.
Statewide prohibition will, to a
large extent, counterfeit the influ-
ence of such persons.
An inebriate is a profitable man
for the saloons, but an Improbable
citizen for the state. The saloons
encourage the manufacture of inebri-
ates, the state should discourage it.

A NEEDED LAW

1t is reported that the state tax
commission will ask the next legis-
lature to enact a law providing for
the appointment of a public admins
traitor in each county. This is re-
form the need of which has long
been recognized by many people. The
present method of administering es-
tates is altogether too costly, especi-
ally in cases where the estate is small
or the heirs reside at a distance.
The commission cites one case in
particular. A man died leaving
$4,000 in cash and no debts but
funeral expenses. The undertaken
was appointed administrator. After
the expenses of administration and
funeral expenses had been met, just
$40 remained to be distributed to
the heirs in the east. This case is
typical of many. Nearly every one
at all familiar with probate proceed
ings can recall many instances where
nearly all of a small estate has been
eaten up in attorneys fees and costs.
The heirs of a dead man, particular
ly of a poor man, should be protected
by the state. A method should be
provided by which such estates can
be closed and the funds distributed
among those entitled promptly and
at a minimum cost.
The plan favored by the tax COM
mission is to authorize the superior
court of each county to appoint the
administrator, the appointee to be
a resident attorney, who would re-
ceiye a commission to be fixed by
law for administering the estate. The
public administrator would take
charge of all estates where no heirs
resided within the state and would
administer other estates when heirs
residing within the state made such
request to the court. The fixing OF
a statutory commission would do
away with the double fees now neces-

THINK BEFORE YOU SUE

Last week we had a little fun at
the expense of the legal fraternity.
No one knows their representations
better than they door takes a Joke
in more genial temper. One of them,
however, comes back at the National
Field saying: Wed be practically
out of business and the courts
wouldn't be crowded, IL people
stopped going to law over trifles. The
man who wins suit, makes an en-
envy of the loser. And arbitration
long practice, the majority of my
cases could have been settled much
better by the parties themselves.
Some idea of the proper proportion,
or sense of humor, or more APP
piled Christianity, would suffice. I'd
have to close my office, but | could
become farmer-always wanted to
be one, in fact. And if | were, |
wouldn't go to law if someone stole
a few inches of my land, or let his
COW get in my pasture. If |
couldn't settle it with the tt espasser,
I'd not waste money and time and
peace of mind suing about it,"
A sermon IN itself, is this letter.
The fighting spirit, like every other
force, needs wise direction if it does
any good. How often it is said: Il
don't care about the money, it's the
principle of the thing" when there
is really no principle involved except
the disposition to make som ebody
smart. There has been an imposi-
ton. 1t cant go any further. 1t
won't be repeated. Everybody
knows it. The wrong doer has either
to bear an uneasy conscience, or gen
eral disapproyal, or both. Left to
his own sense of shame, or to the
contempt of the community, he
would ultimately repair the wrong
or be careful in his future conduct.
But no; someone vows vengeance
which either goes to the courts at
once, or ultimately causes other acts
which force the courts to take a
hand in the matter MANY a muir
der trial is the result of a quarrel
over something baby would De
spanked If it cried about) Nothing
restores the self-respect of a wrong
doer so much as to be put on the de-
fensive. He, and all his relatives
and friends, line up in battle array.
When the suit is won, or lost, the
original point Of difference is almost
forgotten, but the subsequent enmity
engendered remains, continual bar
to peace and friendship.
Everybody can call to mind ex-
amples of this-and when tempted
to make a similar mistake, should
ponder them we'll. Judge not, that

as well as a principle of charity. 1t
isn't worth while to contend for
rights that involve little or nothing
of value; where the rights are not
clear, the other fellow has his day
in court. So it is we'll to pause

WHAT FOSTERS A HEALTHY PUB
Lie SENTIMENT?

In an argument against the pro-
posed statewide prohibition law,
Harry Collier of Tacoma says, in his
newspaper, the Progressive Dem o.
crat:
"a healthy public sentiment in
favor of reforms is more to a COM
munity than any man-made laws that
eyer existed Where moral suasion
will not control, few laws will do
any good"
There is considerable truth in this
assertion but the weak link in Mr..
Golfers argument is that he fails to
recognize the Importance of laws
hnd environment in moulding public
sentiment. The greatest benefit
which will result from statewide
prohibition is not the reformation of
those who have acquired the drink
ing habit, but the removal of the
temptation offered by the saloons to
Foung people to acquire the habit,
hnd the discrediting of the habit by
aW. When a majority of the people
any state brand the sale of any
lfticle as detrimental and unlawful,
nat action is certain to have a pow
rful Influence in decreasing the
lumber of purchasers, who would
ave bought the article if it were

foVal OF the public. This phase of
