WEST END jim BUTLER
LITIGATION GOES OVER

The answer of the West End Con-
solidated Mining company to the COM
plant of the Jim Butler will not have
to be filed for another thirty days,
as per stipulation between attorneys
filed this morning in the office of
the clerk of the district court. This
extends the time to June 18th. The
stipulation was filed by Curtis H.
Lindley and Hugh H. Brown for the
Jim Butler, and Peck, Bunker & Cole
for the West End.
This outcome has been anticipated
for a week or more, as the absence of
Judge Mark Averill in Berkeley and
the announcement that he would not
return until May Goth had paved the
way for an extension.
In this connection it is limited that
the thirty days are not essential to
the preparation of the rejoinder, as
the efforts of Cal and Wise Brough-
er and Jim Butler, leading stock
holders of the Jim Butler, may yet
bring about an understanding. At
torney Peck is said to be in London
with Frank H. Smith arranging de-
tails of the boraX sale to German in
terests and could not be here in time
to confer with Attorney w. H. Dick
son of Salt Lake, as was understood
at the time the original date was
fixed by the fifth judicial district
court.-BonanZa.

PRESENT RELATIONS BETWEEN
AUSTRIA-HUNGARY and RUSSIA

tude of Rumania towards Austria
Hungary. Up to a few months ago
Rumania vas always looked upon as
being the friend of Austria. Mill
tary ~strategists, indeed, in consider
ing Austria-Hungary's strength u.s.
ually added Rumania's five army
corps. But in the negotiations over
the treaty of Bucharest, Russian dip
lomatists cleverly contrived to place
Austria in an unfriendly position to-
wards Rumania.
Count Berchtold's efforts to Sc
cure a revision of the treaty in the
interests of Bulgaria gave great Of
Tense to the Rumanians who have al
ways been very jealous of the threat
ened supremacy of that country in
the Balkans. Rumania's geographic
al position compels her to rely either
upon Austria-Hungary or Russia.
And if the dual monarchy is going
to side with Bulgaria, Rumapia will
have no alternative but to turn to
Russia.
But here again dynastic views
must be taken into account. King
Charles is a strong ruler who has al
ways been friendly to Austria and
neither he nor his ministers are like
ly to be greatly moved by popular
outbursts. They are convinced that
a close union with the Triple AL
lance is the surest way to defend
their country against the overwhelm-
ing might of Russia. But whether
King Charles successor will take an
equally strong stand against public
opinion is another question.
From the violent one of the ar
ticles recently published in the semi
official journals in ST, Petersburg,
Vienna and also in Berlin, it might
be imagined that a great European
war was inevitable, but happily this
view finds no support in responsible
quarters. The truth is that several
comparatively small things have oc-
Cured recently to excite much irri-
tation between Russia and Austria
Hungary. Austria introduced very
vexatious passport restrictions on the
frontier which caused much annoy
ance to Russian travellers. Galicia
is said to be swarmed with Russian
spies while Russian Poland is over
run with Austrian secret a,ents.
There has been a series of E. .lonage
trials in Vienna where the accused
have been shown to be in the direct
employ of the Russian military at
tache, and contrary to the usual prac-
tice in these proceedings no attempt
was made TO keep secret the lame of
the foreign country implicated. Many
thousands of Russian roubles are al
legged to have been spent in trying
to corrupt the poor peasants in Gal
icia, while Austrian spies have been
doing their utmost to persuade the
Poles across the Russian frontier
that they would be much better off
under Austrian rule.
But in spite of all these things no
serious person talks of war. In fact
none of the powers interested are
really ready

That there is TO ne another boom
camp launched within a short time
is the among several mining
men who have been talking things
over quietly in this city. Some n
has discovered a new district and
some of the assays I'll as high as So
600 per ton in gold.
Those interested have managed to
keep the location covered and have
taken up about everything in sight.
1t is expected that the new location
will be made known within a short
time, or as soon as the first work is
done and surveys made. The under
standing is that it is not a stock
game or boom affair, but the parties
are having surveys made and every
thing straight before the public can
file counter claims. The insiders are
wearing smiles and keeping the lay
man guessing.-Appeal.

IS OPERATING
LONE MOUNTAIN CLAIMS

The Gold Hill Nevada Gold Min
ing company is the name of a concern
that is conducting legitimate opera
lions at Lone Mountain with the OBJ
ject of finding out the mineral value
of a bunch of claims held in that
district. The stockholders are of San
! Francisco and all are identified with
the police or fire departures, with
a few of their personal friends along
the water front taken in as a matter
of accommodation. The stockhold-
ers' committee which visits the prop
erty once a year is now in Tonopah
looking over the ground and making
themselves acquainted with the val
ues of other mines. Yesterday four
of the party went out in Ralph War
dies car to Lone Mountain and re-
turned last night. They are perfect
ly pleased with the outlook and will
continue to keep up tn ,ir assessments
in the belief that eventually the COM
pany will be rewarded.
The names of the visiting stock
holders are President, w. T. Moran,
of the police department. Manual Sill
via, a director with offices at 500
Courtland avenue, San Francisco;
Robert R. Riley, manager of the
Credit Cooperative service, San
Francisco; John j. Casey, secretary,
corporal of the San Francisco police
department, Mr.. Anderson, an under
taker, and Dennis Brown, a boss stew
edore.
The company has sunk a shaft to
a depth of 500 feet, where they are
getting some rich stringers yielding
$29.9S a ton. Three Waugh drills
are in operation and the surface
equipment is as good as can be found
anywhere in the southern country, as
ii includes a first-class hoist, COM
pressor and gallows frame. The
stockholders are satisfied so long as
they know their money is going into
the ground, and they believe it will
be only a short time before they find
ore in paying quantities.
The company has sunk from 295
to 46O feet in the cours of the year
and is spending at the rate of $751;
600 a year. In the shaft quartz as
saying $50 was cut and now the shaft
is in a conglOmerate formation show
ing streaks of hematite with returns
of So a ton in gold varied with
stringers II to Is inches carrying as
high as $50 in gold. The employees
have been working on the cooper
alive plan, taking half pay in stock
and the balance in cash, SO the
monthly outlay is much greater than
appears on the surface. 1t is the in
~tention to cut a station at 500 and
crosscut while continuing sinking.
The crosscut will be run to catch the
ledge that outcrops $50 feet south of
the shaft and where it is hoped to
develop a large free milling PROPOSE
ton.
Lone Mountain is only ten miles
from Tonopah and eight miles from
the Belmont custom mill at Millers
with a down hill haul, eliminating
the question of water or milling as
a consideration. AS soon as the COM
pany enters the shipping stage it will
find a mill almost at the door and
will also be relieved o. an expensive
water development. FOL shipping
purposes the company is only two
miles from ~McSweeney's Junction.
