INTERESTING CASE
IS DECIDED
Judge Taber Hands Down Decision
In Black va. Davis
Case
PROPERTY RIGHTS
CASE INVOLVED
Declared That Habit of Lone
Standing Does Not Constitute
Right

Judge Taber handed down n decis-
Ion In district court yesterday
which will interest every property
owner in this county. The case re.
ferred to is hat Of Charles II. Black
vs. Samuel Davis and wife. The case
arose over the question of the plain
tiff passing through land belonging
to the defendants. The plaintiff al.
legged that he had been passing
through the gate for years and that
in May 1911. the defendant locked
the gate without any explanation
whatever and prohibited him from
passing through as had been his GUS
tom. The plaintiff Immediately ap-
piled for and received an Injunction
prohibiting Davis from keeping the
gate locked, and resumed his habit
of passing through.
The defendants since have sued for
an order prohibiting Black from pass
ing through the land and asking
that the Injunction issued formerly,
be dissolved. The case was then
heard on its merits and yesterday
Judge Taber handed down the decis.
ion dissoiving the former injunction
and issued orders restraining the
plaintiff from passage.
The suit aroused a great deal OF
interest in this county as the matter
OF a passageway through another's
land has been brought up a number
OF times and has been a matter o.
great Importance and interest with al
property owners as many people con
tend that II they have been using
another's land for a private road To-
any length Of time, they have acquir
ed that right for all time. This de
cision of Judge Taber's however, viii
put the matter at rest TO a certain
extent and settle a matter which ha!
caused much litigation in recen
years.

1t was not our intention to overlook

VIOLATED LAW
RETRIBUT|ON FOLLOWED

a mountain sheep was killed in the
Rubics by a ranch hand this week.
No arrests have been made for viola
ton OF the law. nor are the minions
OF the law likely to take any action.
l"tctribution quickly followed the act
the hunter has paid the price of the
sheep and all Ia well.
This is the way the story goes:
a ranch hand had TO take n trip into
the Ruby mountains for some cattle
and he took his trusty earbine with
him. Toward evening he espied n
mountain sheep n quarter OF Il mile
away across n deep ravine. He dis.
mounted and after n long and tire.
some climb he came to a spot n hun.
drcd yards or SO from where he saw
his sheep. II was about dark but he
located tho animal and n lucky shot
brought IT to earth. Then came the
task OF getting IL home. Almost
completely fatiGued this was accom-.
plishcd about midnight when all hands
we're awakened to view the prize. The
owner finally arrived on tho q
none too good naturcd at being
aroused from n peaceful sleep. He
looked at tho dead animal. and then

he Informed his ranch hand that he
was seventeen kinds OF blank fools

NEVADA At THE
Frisco FAIR.

The Nevada mineral exhibit which
Is to be shown In the palace OF min
ing at the Papama-Pacifc exposition
Is rapidly rounding into shape, and
from the present outlook will rank
with the most potentious. In the
southern part of the State, Mark
Bradshaw is making the rounds of the
mining camps, while J.. II. Price is
canvassing the northern districts.
Since Nevada contains within her Dor
ders practically every mineral OF
economic importance, in varying
quantities. an adequate exhibit is
certain.
One of the most striking features
of the Nevada mining and mineral
exhibit will be a large relief map of
the State. 1t will be made on a scale
of four miles TO the inch, with the ap-
proximate dimensions of seven feet
wide by ten feet long. On it will be
shown the mountains and valleys in
their correct position and relative
height, the lakes and streams, the rail-
roads and principal auto roads. The
location Of the different mining camps
and prospects where useful minerals
are found will also De placed in their
correct positions on the map. The
ores obtained at the various camps
will be shown by small flags of diff
ferent colors. Thus, for instance, If
n camp produces silver, lead and cop
per, it will be shown by three small
flags of appropriate color.
The map is in the course OF prep
a~ration and will occupy a space at the
entrance to the booth where 1t will
give n good idea of the varied mineral
resources OF the State to the many
visitors at he exposition.
One of the plans is to have a guam
tity of alfalfa on exhibit in such shape
that the people not only may see it,
but take it in their hands and make
sure 1t is real. Another plan is for
n moving display Of potatoes from the
various potato districts. Still an,
other plan provides for special dis,
plays of vegetables and garden truck
Sheaf displays of grains and grasses
will be under glass. but full displays
Of grains will be both under glass and
in the open. All displays will be In
competition for prizes.
One of the features of the agricul
tural exhibit will be n relief map
standing against the wall of the boott
at an angle. 1t will show all lands
now under cultivation and all water
supplies.
Soil samples down TO a depth o.
four feet are 10 be shown in glas.
cylinders and in the open. The dairy
industry in Nevada will be demon
strated by a miniature model farm
There will be full displays of dair!
products and wool, and revolving
maps TO give required statistical in
formation.
One of the difficulties experienced
in preparing the mining exhibit Is
that of convincing the prospective
exhibitor that his samples will be re
turned. Fears on this score are bcinl
overcome, however, and replies tc
letters asking for cooperation from
the mining interests are being receiv
cd.

NATURAL PRODUCTS COMPANY
PURCHASES LAND IN SOUTH
FORK AND WILL CARRY
ON MINING
MINES HAVE BEEN WORKED IN
THAT VICINITY FOR SOME
TIME BUT HAVE FAILED
FOR LACK OF FUNDS

AS was %forecasted in the I~ndepend-
ent n few days ago. the Natural Pro-
ducts Company. OF San Francisc co,
have feled their papers Of incorpora-
ton in the office OF County Clerk
Weight and will begin to do business
in this county in a short while. Ac-
cording TO reliable authority, this
company has purchased about three
sections OF land from l.. M. Bellinger
and the Southern Pacific railroad
company. This land is in the South
Fork valley and is part OF the land
on which lies the Soap King mine OF
mineral soap. This company has
been Interested In the mining OF this
soap for some time and from time
TO time they have been getting sam
pies OF the mineral for testing pur-
poses. 1t is announced now that they
are satisfied that the claim will come
up TO their expectations and that in
the near future they will put up a
plant In South Fork and begin the
work OF mining and reducing the min
eral on a large scale.
n mine Is absolutely unique in
it's own line. There is probably not
another like IL In the United States.
The soap derived from 1t is superior
to any soap manufactured and It is
confidently expected by all those who
know the property that It will work
a great change in the soap Industry
OF the country.
The Natural Products Company,
the company which has purchased the
property, is a large one nth n CAPT.
tai stock OF $250,000 and will be equip
ped in every way to give the venture
n thorough trying out. They will
erect n plant with the necessary ma
chincry for reducing the mineral and
making 1t commercially valuable. All
this means that n great deal more
money will be brought into Eiko coun
ty. Their payroll will be a big thing
for the working people and for the
business men. There is no doubt that
the advent OF the new company will
mean big things for the county.
The situation OF the property is
about IS miles from this city and
some OF the same land has been work.
ed for some time by different people
m have found n ready sale for the
product but as yet, the proper capital
TO work II as 1t should be has never
been forthcoming. The taking over
Of some OF the same property by this
company however. has put an end to
that trouble and the lack OF capital
will be no further hindrance.
The time OF the beginning OF &C.
tive work has not been announced by
the new company. but the popular I'll,
NOR Is that IL will be as soon as the
spring opens up sufficiently to permit
OF active work.
