ENDED
AFTER SEVEN YEARS
INTERESTS AGREE TO
STIPULATION

Litigation involving approximately
S1,700,0 600, which had been in prog
ress for nearly seven years, was o n
Guided this afternoon when a stip-
ulation signed by Sweeney and More
house and by Hoyt and Gibbons, OPP
posing counsel, was filed in the SUI
preme court, agreeing to a dismissal
of the proceedings, says the Reno Ga
zette.
The history of the case is of ex-
treme interest, bordering on the e n
sational, n of the features being
the inclusion of the story of the ship
ment of the richest carload of ore
ever mined, the net return upon
which was more than half a million
dollars.
The Goldfield Mohawk owned a
block of ground in Goldfield which
was leased to G. H. Hayes. He took
in A. ]. Monnette for a half interest.
Later they took Messrs. Smith and
Benedict into partnership. A portion
of the ground was sublet to the Fran
ces-Mohawk Mining company and an
other portion to the d. Mackenzie
company.
All these leases terminated on
January Z, 1907. During the opera
ton of the leases many millions were
taken out. After the leases termi
mated, the Goldfield Mohawk Mining
company sued the Frances-Mohawk
company for damages in the sum of
$250,0O0 for leaving the mine in a
condition in which it caved in and
the D. Mackenzie Leasing company
for S150,000 on a similar allegation.
While these leases were in progress
highgrading prevailed to an enor-
nous extent, and the Goldfield Mo-
hawk sued for 100000 for ore
claimed to have been stolen and
taken away from the Frances-Mo
hawk lease with the knowledge and
consent of the tributers and for
100000 on the same cause from the
d. Mackenzie lease.
After the leases terminated, the
Goldfield Mohawk Mining company
dissolved at Pierre. S. D., and trans
ferred all its assets, including causes
of action, to the Goldfield CONSOLE
dated Mines company. Before this
assignment the Goldfield Consoli
dated is said to have recovered large
amounts of stolen ore. Thereupon the
Hayes-MOnnette company assigned
its claims for the recovery to the
frances-Mohawk Mining and Leas-
ing company and the ID. Mackenzie
Leasing company also assigned to the
FranceS-MOhawk.
Thereupon the Frances-MOhawk
Mining and Leasing company sued
the trustees of the Goldfield Mohawk
company. which had been dissolved,
for 100000, claiming such amount
had been recovered by the parent
company, alleging that TN pet
cent of the values of the ore recov.
cred were the property of the leasing
company. Included in the Frances-Mo-
hawk suit was the loss of ores as,
signed by Hayes and Monnette.
These actions have been pending
since January, 1907. They have
been tried and both appeals and mo-
lions for new trial have been grant
ed, so practically the situation re.
manned unchanged after the long and
costly litigation.
During this time a large sum OF
money has been deposited in bonds
and releases of attachment with the
field. Now the parties have gotten
together and all matters are amicably
settled.

GOOD SHOWING
At KINGS RIVER
DIR. BOYLAN TELLS OF OLD DIS
TRICT WHICH Is ATTRACTING
ATTENTION.

DIR. w. F. Boylan returned Friday
from a trip to the Kings River dis
trict in northern Humboldt, where he
had been looking after his mining
interests. He had the following to
say in regard to this old district, in
which several new quartz and placer
strikes have been recently reported:
The Kings River Mining district,
of which recently much has been
heard, is located amidst the o
tains of northern Humboldt county
in what might be called the foothil
of Disaster Peak. Disaster Peak is
so called from one of the early-day
tragedies, a massacre of whites by
Indians having taken place beneath
the towering peak.
The killing of the early pioneers
by the Indians produced a longtime
neglect of this gold and silver belt.
Some sixteen years ago the Choate
brothers entered the district, finding.
liberal evidence of native gold in h
gravels. The discovery of gold
prompted them to pitch their tents
and ever since have been working
amidst those gold-laden gravel beds.
The ore coming from these gravel
beds was evidently washed from tn
mountains and nearby hedges. roi
the evidence is multiplied by this
placer that it came from quartz veins
and dykes. This led the Choate
brothers to prospect for the source of
this gold, which they found among
the numerous quartz veins that cut
and bisect the general formation. For
sixteen years these quiet workers
have been extracting by the crudest
mining methods a handsome fortune
without communicating with h out
side world.
Until a year ago very little was
known of this section. At that time
a number of Nationalities had their
attention called to I:ch gold ore ex-
hibited at National by a propsector
named White. Questions elected the
fact hat he had secured these rich
specimens about thirty-five miles
west of National in the neighborhood
of Disaster Peak. with the result that
these Nationalites journeyed into the
district and did some prospecting
with most favorable results.
"Since that time the district has
been examined by a number of we'll 4
known mining men who pronounce it '
one of the best and most oppOrtune
u~ndeveloped gold-silver sections of
Nevada.
"The district, as far as determined,
shows an excellent vein system car
rying gold and silver value for about
eight miles long and from three to
four miles wide. The section within
which these gold veins are found is
a %porphyritic granite belt. The veins
are well defined anG strong, and
wherever ~prOspected return values of
from Sc to as high as $1,000 per ton.
The average value gives the ore a
high-class milling base and with the
Introduction of reduction plants coin
cident with proper development gives
the assurance of substantial profit
for owners and investors.
There is ample water for milling
and domestic uses. The camp is
eighty miles north of Winnemucca
and a be reached w good roads
in five hours by automobile
