ROUND MOUNTAIN ACREAGE LARGEST
OF ANY MINING COMPANY IN NEVADA
AFTER CONSOLIDATION WITH SPHINX

holders The Round Mountain Min.
ing company gave a cash and stock
consideration which will not be given
out until after the terms are ratified
by vote of the stockholders.
The terms !. of the compromise
agreement will be submitted TO the
Of the two companies
for ratification, and It is expected
that a final settlement will be effect
ed within the next thirty days. The
settlement was brought about
through the efforts of Jim Robertson,
the broker Of Tonopah. who has been
endeavoring for several years to
bring the litigants together.
Following preliminary litigation in
1908, the Round Mountain Mining
company instituted suit in 1910 in
the district court Of Esmeralda coun-
ty against the Round Mountain
Sphinx Mining company to quiet title
TO the Las Gazabo claim and extra
lateral rights. Judge Theron Stevens
handed down a decision in favor OF
the Sphinx company. On an appeal
the state supreme court affirmed the
decision OF the district court. Subse-
quently. however. the supreme court
granted rehearing of the case and
reversed itself to the extent of grant
ing a new trial ON account of an
error In the original trial In the dis.
trict court. The retrlal was set to
begin In the Goldheld district court
yesterday
The Round Mountain Mining com.
pany will increase its capital from
81 Op0. 600 10 $1,500,000 In addition
TO effecting consolidation of the es
tates OF the two litigant companies
the settlement will in all probability
result in the acquisition of other prop
critics. In short the Round Mountain
Mining company, under the terms OF
the compromise, will become the own
er OF the largest area OF ground OF
any gold mining concern operating in
the state OF Nevada. The Sphinx
company will be represented on the
reorganized board OF directors by
William Forman.

CATHOLIC MAJORITY
IN PRUSSIA SOON
IS PREDICTION
INCREASE OF BIRTH RATE
GREATER THAN WITH JEW
ISH OR ANY OTHER RACE.
my Associated PressA


BERLIN, June 17.-That Prussia
will have a Catholic majority in two
or three generations is the conelu
sion of two writer's, who separately
have been studying the statistics of
population. In 1875 out of every
1000 children born in wedlock 603
had Protestant parents, but by 1911
this number had sunk to 519. On
the other hand, the number of chill
dren of pure Catholic parentage rose
in the same years from 339 to 408.
The conclusion is drawn that If the
movement of the past 36 years con-
tinues unchanged for another period
of equal length. the purely Catholic
births will then be ATS. as compared
with only ABS Protestants. These
figures leave out of account the chill
dren of mixed marriages and those
OF Jewish parentage. 1t is interest
ing to note that the percentage of
Jewish births has fallen more sharp
ly than lndl OF lne FTolestdhtS, ,
where there were Ill Jewish births
per 1000 in 1875 there are only
1872 in 1911 The school statistics of
Prussia strikingly confirm the move
ment described above. From 1886 TO
4 1911 the gain of Protestant pupils
in the common schools was S09.0O0.
\
whereas the Catholic pupils gained
100000 In explaining the cause OF
this movement Il Is pointed out that
the Protestant population of Prussia
is much wealther than the Catholic
and il Is also much more largely rep
resented in the big cities sand il Il
