SUPREME COURT PASSES
ON WITHDRAWAL CASE

In the case of the State of Nevada
ex rel. Attorney General Thatcher
against G. w. Keith, registry agent
at Carson City, which was decided
by the supreme court this morning,
two questions touching upon the reg
istration laws of this state were pre-
scented, says the Appeal. The first
one was, could an electOr, having
once registered, and indicated at the
time of registering his party affilia-
tions, be permitted 10 come in later
and change that party utilization?
The second question was, could an
elector, having registered without CIV
ing any party utilization, come in be-
fore the time set for the closing of
the registry agents books as to pri-
mary elections and indicate his party
affiliation, and thus obtain the right
to vote at the primaries. The at
torney general, on behalf of the
state, asked for a writ of prohibition
against the registry agent, Judge
Keith, directing him to desist from
allowing electors who had registered
and given their party utilization to
change them, and also to desist from
allowing electors who had registered
without a party utilization of any
kind from giving n later.
On the first contention, Judge
Griffin, who represented the respond
ent, agreed with the attorney gener-
al. AS to the second contention,
Judge Griffin disagreed with the
attorney general, suggesting that to
deprive an elector of the right to in
dictate his party utilization before the
closing of the primary books. when,
at the time of registering the electOr
had indicated no party utilization
whatever, would be practically to dis
franchise the elector.
The supreme court in it's opinion
by Justice Norcross, sustained the
attorney general in his first conten-
ton, but sustained the respondent
and his counsel, Judge Griffin, in
their views as to the rights of cleo
tors to indicate their political party,
when not previously indicated, at any
reasonable time before the closing of
the primary books.

OUT STATEMENT
MAKES PLAIN HIS POSITION ON
ISSUES AT THE COMING
ELECTION

George Wingfield, interviewed by
the Reno Gazette as to his position
on different matters that are consid-
cred issues at the coming election,
said:
Il was an earnest advocate of the
present divorce law and believe in it's
maintenance, and am opposed to any
amendment of it which will facili-
tate divorce.
Il am opposed to any change in
the present laws in reference to
gambling save in two particulars:
First: The law should be amend
ed so that poker, solo, bridge whist
and other similar card games can be
played for money, provided no per-
centage is taken by anyone for con-
Quoting the game. These games are
now played openly and the public
does not demand or desire the pun
ishment of those so playing. Any
law that is not enforced should be re-
pealed. as open violation of a law
when sanctioned by the people
breeds a contempt for all laws.
Second: 1 am in favor of horse
races and betting thereon by the
Paris mutual system. The races
should be conducted under the su-
pervision of a board or official with
full authority to fix the rates and
duration of the races and with full
power to prevent all undesirables
from attending the races. There
should be no continuous racing.
"All revenues derived from the
races should be expended by the
state in the payment of the expenses
and in fostering the improvement
of the breed of all live stock within
the state. l favor this not as an
end, but as a means to an end 1t is
my earnest desire that the class and
breeding of all live stock in the state
should be improved, as it means
great financial returns to the state,
and l am convinced that racing is a
protent, if not a necessary, factor to
obtain this end.
II was instrumental in the crea-
ton of the law under which our tax
commission operates. l still believe
in a tax commission. However, the
law should be amended in such par
ticulars as experience and the work
ing of the law show necessary. Our
state commissions should be CONSOLE
dated, thereby saving expense, con-
ce%ntrating power and responsibility
and increasing effectiveness.
Il am in favor of all proper meas
ures aiding any legitimate industry
or decreasing taxation. am not
interested in nor have I any money
invested in any but legitimate indus
try or business, and improper or un-
just legislation injure me as much,
if not more, than any other individ-
ual in the state.
"In short, anything that will i'm
prove or better Nevada has my hear
ty support, as service to the state of
Nevada has become a religion with
me-"

Another War Battle

Peter Serano. a ~Frenchman, was
Judge Bryson in Reno on a charge of
assault and battery upon Florentine
Idaretta, a Spaniard, as the result of
an argument on the European war.
Serano pleaded guilty, but said the
fight was forced on him when the
Spaniard said that he could lick
four Frenchmen.

SHOWS RICHES Of
LIMERICK CANYON
JAMES MOSS GOES TO RENO
WITH BOTTLES FILLED
WITH PLACER GOLD

With two bottles of coarse gold in
richness of the new placer fields,
James Moss is in from Limerick can
yon, lei Rochester, telling his
friends of the prOductiveness of the
gulches of that district, says the
Reno Journal. The two small bot
ties contain about $500 worth of
gold and represent the output of the
first few w~agOnloads of gravel from
the property in which Mr.. Moss and
others are interested.
Our property is neal the head Of
the canyon and covers about 1000
feet of the channel" said Mr.. Moss.
"The pay gravel is from a foot to Is
inches thick, and will average from
$12 to SIS per yard. The pay grav-
ell lies on the bedrock, and is covered
by from four to ten feet of barren
wash. This makes easy placer min
ing, for where the wash is not too
deep we can trench the channel from
the surface and throw our pay dirt
up to the surface.
cat the present time we have to
haul u gravel a mile and a half t.
water for sluicing. but we propose
to put in some dry washers at our
works, and we figure we can saw
practically all the gold without any
trouble. The gold is coarse and well
adapted for the dry washing process"

about 3 feet in width, and stopping
on this has now been started ana
work has been resumed in the west
intermediate drift above this level on
the Burro vein on 2 feet of mill ore.
West End Con-.
An important development has
taken place in the West End Con-
%solidated mine in the past week in
the extreme western workings on the
5OO-foot level where what is known
as sos crosscut has opened up the
extension of the vein, which can now
be drifted on for a length of $50 feet
before encountering the fault, and
this will make available a very large
tonnage of mill ore.
On the 400-foot level, where litiga-
ton work is in progress in order to
demonstrate the apex of the West
End vein, a body of ore has been
opened up, the existence OF which
was not suspected, and development
work will now be started on this to
prove up it's extent and average val
ues.
On the 95O-foot level drifting is
in progress on the Lower Contact
vein in low grade ore.
In the past week the mill treated
1926 tons of ore, but no bullion has
been shipped because of the present
conditions of the silver market, but
the company is storing its bullion in
it's valut in Tonopah.
TOnOpah Merger
The sinking of the Tonopah Mer-
ger winze in the extreme western
part of the mine on the 1170-foot
level was continued during the week
on good grade shipping ore, and in
the past week the company shipped
100 ions to the old Belmont mill.
On Thursday last the company was
notified by the Belmont company
that it would be impossible to pay
for silver bullion under the present
conditions of the silver market, and
it was suggested that the best curse
to pursue was to continue the mill
ing of the ore and store the bullion
until quotations for silver were OBJ
tainable. The directors of the TOnO-
pah Merger Mining company decid-
temporarily suspend the sinking of
the winze and all operations through
the Merger shaft, and operations will
% be continued through the Victor
shaft where the south crosscut from
the west drift on the ~148O-foot level
will be extended into Merger ground
to pick up the downward extension
of the Merger ore shoot, which will
give a further vertical depth of 80
feet on the ore shoot or over 500 feet
up a very large tonnage of ore in
the Merger vein more rapidly and
more economically than by continu-
ing the sinking of the WINES from
the 117O-foot level of the Merger
shaft.
Buckeye-BelmOnt
An additional force of men was
this week put to work at the Buck
eye-BelmOnt mines in order to push
development work on the 12OO-foot
level.
During the week work was start
ed on a big orebody which lies west
of the shaft, the course of which
trends under the Belmont mill. This
vein is of great width and at places
carries low grade values. and it is
intended to drift on it to the extreme
western boundary of the Belmont
property in anticipation that CONNER
cial ore will he ano%ounfara Tnnn-
