WILKINSON CASE
FINALLY DECIDED
DECISION REACHED IN long
STANDING CASE INVOLVING
SALE OF STOCK

In rendering a decision in the
case, instituted last year by Horn
blower & Weeks against Emma Will
kinson, for the recovery of $4,000,
which sun the plaintiff alleged was
due them from the sale of a certain
block Of Jumbo Extension stock, an
interesting conclusion was reached
by Judge Walsh in the d~istri,,
court lately.
The decision was the o%utgrowth
of two suits. 1t was alleged that
Emma Wilkinson ordered Horn
blower & Weeks. who were acting
as her brokers at the time TO sell
a block of 10000 shares of Jumbo
Extension stock. This the brokers
did. according to their contention.
and received therefrom $S475. They
then called upon the defendant 10
deliver the stock, which she re-
FUSED to do. The plaintiffs allege
that they were then forced to buy
the stock in open market and that
the stock cost them $2S.S92. IN
excess of what they received for
the stock of over $4,000.
The brokers then brought action
against Emma Wilkinson for the re-
covery of the difference and is
sued an attachment against the
Wilkinson holdings in the Merger
Mines company and obtained judg-
ment by default against her and is
sued an execution on the judgment
and sold the Merger stock thai was
under the attachment.
In the meantime the plaintiff
had sold the block of Merger stock
to certain brokers in Milwaukee,
who then tried to induce the COM
pany's officers to transfer the stock
on the books of the corporation.
This the officers were unable to do
because it had already been sold
by virtue of the attachment.
The Milwaukee firm then enter
ed suit to compel the transfer OF
the stock to their account, filed a
demurrer to the answer of Horn
blower & Weeks and held that the
attachment was null and void De
aus the corporation, the Merger
Mines company, was a foreign COM
pany, incorporated under the laws of
the state of Washington. They
further held that the action was not
legal because it was not brought
within the state in which the corpor-
alton was created.
Judge Walsh upheld the conten-
ton of the Milwaukee brokers and
rendered a decision stating that a
suit, to be legal, must originate
within the state in which the cor
poration was created and that this
contention was upheld under the
peculiar wording of the laws OF
Nevada. The block of Merger
stock thus reverts to the Milwaukee
brokers and the case Instituted bv
Hornblower & Weeks was thrown
out of court.

SPECIMENS ARE RICE
FROM GRANITE DISTRICT

Jim lobe, an old time @prospector
of the Granite district, was in Ely
last week with a number of spec
linens showing coarse gold, which
came from the Monitor mine, which
is II of a group of claims owned
1y himself, H.. II. Breen and c. l..
Osterlund of Ely. Jome has been
developing the claims for several
years past, but it is only within inc
past few weeks that he struck ore
carrying free gold. The Granite
district has been practically over
looked for some years past by the
prospectors to whom it offers a fine
iield. Much good gold ore was tax
en- out there years ago, but since
then but little work in a develop
ment way has been done. Mann
moth veins of quartz exist through
out the district, and with develop
ment work no doubt some big mines
will be discovered.
II. L. Fulmer and Col. L.. G..
Cannon of East Ely have a group
of claims there upon which a large
amount of work has been done, with
the result that they have several
thousand tons of good milling ore

PACKARD Recovery
IS REPORTED HIGH
PLANT Is SAVING ALL OF
GOLD CONTENTS

Ninety-eight per cent of the silver
values and all of the gold contents
are being saved from the ores treat
ed by the new s65,O0O cyanide mill
of the Packard Mines company, In
the Rochester mining district, &C
cording to Mark Walser, president
and general manager.
That record is the more phenome-
nal when it is understood that the
recovery percentage is from a daily
average run of 112 tons for Is con-
secutive days.
Such an extraction, says Walser,
exceeds any similar cyanide mill OPP
Grating in the United States of which
he has any record.
In commenting upon this remark
able reclamation, Walker said:
THE mill is averaging about ia
tons of ore per day and has not
closed for any appreciable length OF
time since the power was turned on
Dec. 1. The extraction exceeds any
similar cyanide mill operating in the
United States of which ] have any
knowledge. We are recovering prac-
tically 90 per cen of the silver val
ues and all gold contents.
1.-The mine easily keeps the mil
supplied with all the r it can
handle and the development work
discloses larger ore bodies with every
days work.
ut is safe to say that our esti-
mate of two years ore in sight car
be doubled and we have every rea.
son to believe that the values COLI
tanned in the ore will make us the
leading producing mine of the state
Of Nevada."-Mine Review.

equipment formerly used at the X
Ray mine in the Highland district re
the Easter property.
Joe recently completed the fl

PAYMENT Is MADE ON
NINE AT CHERRY CREEK

During the present week the mi
tial payment of $4,000 was made on
the purchase price of 100000 under
a bond secured some weeks ago on
scheelite property, discovered near
Cherry Creek by Nelson brothers
and Hamilton. The discovery was
made about six weeks ago, since
which time considerable development
work has been done by the original
owners in proving up the property.
1t is said hat the showing is one of
the best in the country at the pres
ent time. 1t was SO good, in fact,
that the wne were in hopes that
the Salt Lake people would allow
their option to lapse, as they had
better offers from other parties who
were anxious to purchase the prop
erty.
1t is stated that the Salt Lake
people will now proceed with the
development of the ore deposits on
an extensive scale. Ely Record. -

"SOU WEBSTER" HITS
GOlDF|ELO DISTRICT
HEAVY, WET SNOW AND HIGH
WIND WRECK GOOD RES
OLUTIONS

New Years day in Goldfield broke
on a snow-white earth, the second
time this season that the brown
hues of the desert have given way to
a white mantel of snow, a mantel
which bedecks the entire panorama,
from the cliffs of the malapai to the
caps of the Toyabe range, some 60
miles from Goldfeld to the north.
This range on a clear day pre-
sents one of the most beautiful con-
trasts to be seen in this land of
sage and sand. The range towers
some 1900 feet above sea level and
over COCO above the surrounding
valleys. Throughout most Of tho
year these mountain caps are
crowned with a cap of snow, which
extends into the valleys and which,
viewed from a distance, give a beau
tiful blue-white effect.
A light furry of snow began fall
ing late in the evening of Dec. 81
and continued to fall throughout the
rest of the year. All day yesterday
a wet, soggy and disagreeable pre-
cipitation continued, in the guise of
a snowfall, and toward the early
evening hours changed to a fine dry
nov which drifted in clouds during
the entire evening. The full force
of the hurricane, which is reported
to have done a large amount of dam
age on the coast, was felt by desert
jewellers last evening.
Much damage was done by the
heavy wind to the lighting system
of the Nevada California Power
company. Wires and circuits all
over the town were blown down and
broken, the lights were an intermit-
tent quantity last evening, and pow
er was an even more uncertain prop
osition this morning.
The Tribune, for a while this
morning, resembled nothing SO much
as an old-time country newspaper on
a busy day. The presses were being
driven by hand power. and the type,
which usually pours forth from two
linotype machines in an endless
stream of metal, was being slowly
and laboriously set by hand. The
power was off about three hours
this morning. but came on again
at about 11:30. The trouble was
local and was soon remedied. Snow
and more snow is the official fore
cast for coast points.

BONANZA ORE FOUND
IN AUSTIN DAKOTA

At the 90-foot point in the X-Ray
shaft on the property of the Austin
Dakota an east and west vein was
cut last week which is shot through
with ruby and native silver.
This vein, on the tar south side
of Austin canyon, is parallel with
the system of veins on Lander hill.
which gave Austin a large produc-
ton in bullion in past operations. 1t
is eight inches in thickness where
it was intersected by the shaft and
has the regular dip to the north
prevailing throughout the camp.
No drifting will be done at pres
ent on the vein mentioned, but
the sinking of the shaft will be
steadily prosecuted with three
shifts. The X-Ray shaft is being
sunk primarily for the purpose of
exploring a series of north and
south dykes that show milling val
ues at the surface.

"NEvADA-UTAH PLANT
TO USE FLOTAT|ON
MAKING PROGRESS AT
PIOCHE

The new mill for the Consolidat.
ed Nevada-Utah corporation has been
started. Clearing the ground and
replacing the railroad tricks to make
room for the building was commence
ed on the 18th inst.
The old water tank built about
1874, an old familiar landmark, has
had to be removed and in it's stead
there will be an iron tank situated
about 100 feet north of the site Of
the old bin.
The process to be employed Is
concentration by the usual wet grav-
ity methods followed by most mod
ern of oil flotation. Also a sepaTa-
ton of concentrates will be accomp-
lished, the zinc forming the prin-
cipal product and the lead and hon
the secondary product. Both of
these concentrates will carry gold
and silver, but the majority of the
precious metals will be in the lead
iron product which will, of course,
be shipped to a lead smelter.
The ore as it m from the
mine will go to the grizzlies at the
sorting house, where the fines will
go direct to the mill and the coarse
material will be given a rough hand
sorting. Thus large pieces of solid
sulphides will be recovered immedi-
ately without the expense of milling
or the loss resulting from grinding.
The sorting house will also catch
the larger pieces of waste which
mix with the ore and by throwing
them out increaseithe grade of the
ore being milled.
After leaving the sorting house
the coarse ore goes to a crusher and
then joins the fine ore on a conveyor
belt carrying to the mill bin. The
mill bin will hold a days run and
| will be drawn from by an automatic
feeder which will supply the ore to a
ball mill. The ball mill will
be followed by a screen which will
return oversize for recrushing. The
material which passes the screen
goes to the tchles from which the
middlings are sent to a pebble mill
for finer grinding.
The tables will take two products
zinc concentrates and lead-irOn
concentrates. The tailings from the
tables will go to the flotation ma
chinery, where all the very finely
ground particles of sulphides which
are usually lost in the usual con
centrating process are, to a yer!
large extent, caught at the ~flotatior
cells.
Mine water will be used and 6
large tank will be installed to reser
voir the supply. The mill will be
lighted by electricity and operated
by power from Fairbanks-Morse en-
gines burning topps.
The mill will have a capacity o.
| from so to rs tons daily and If the
weather conditions are not serious
should be ready to operate early ir

contend that it is a great deal cas-
Ter to freeze out the small holder
when a stock is worcestershire. The
company can easily run in debt so
that foreclosure is necessary.
What chance has the small hold
err then? None whatever. He can't
buy a part at a foreclosure sale;
he would have to buy it all. and
as a rule, the small stakeholder has
not the money to do that. When a
stock is assessable he can pay ac-
cording to the number Of shares he
cares to pay on. The main thing is
to have a board of directors who
are trustworthy and who pay at
tention to the managing of the
property. Just like any other bust
ness that is in the hands of fncom-
petent men,; it will certainly CD

vest any money in a company whose

PAVING FOR THE FOLKS
Editorial From Duluth News-Tri-
bune, February 4, 1850

According to Commissioner Farrell,
there are now over ten miles of rein
forced concrete streets in Duluth.
When the News-Tribune began the ad-
vocacy of this material for paving,
there was one in the city. That was
about three years ago.
We believe in another five years
there will be but little of any other
material used here. II has every other
material backed off the boards in every
quality needed in Duluth. In addition,
it is open to the use of any contractor.
1t is the one material absolutely as free
to one as to the other; no one can have
any advantage in its use save what
comes from equipment and organiza-
ton.
Every other material uses concrete
as base. All others provide only a
wearing surface. They all depend up
on concrete for their sustaining power.
Yet it only needs a portion more of
cement to make this base the best
wearing surface in the world.
Repeated tests have proved this.
Common sense endorses it. Once in
place and set, only chisels and sledges
can pick ii out. 1t is, in fact, the
equivalent, as stipulated in Duluth, of
solid trap rock. Who can imagine
more enduring wearing surface than
our trap rock?
1t also has the best traction surface.
1t gives the best grip to both horses
and wheels. 1t is the one best answer
to the problem Of steep grades. 1t is
used here successfully on II per cent
grades; it is used with equal satsfac-
ton elsewhere on Is per cent grades.
On it wheels neither slip nor skid.
The one objection brought to it that
sticks and cannot be disproved is that
it is cheap. 1t costs far less than any
other kind Of paving. II will not
then be suitable for 'high-brow' streets;
but everywhere else on business streets
and, with this one exception, in resi-
dence streets, il will be. in time the one
paving of general use.
The News-Tribune has persistently
advocated this paving because it is both
the best in traction surface and in en-
durance of them all and the cheapest.
1t is the ordinary mans one answer to
the cost of paving. II is backed by no
organization. No one can profit by its
promotion. Even the cement manu-
facturers do not use newspaper adver-
Using, in which they are. mighty short
sighted. So, we give it to them for the
good of Duluth.

During the early stages of the pre-
sent war strange phenomenon on the
battlefislds Of Northern France was the
abundance OF poppies, all the roads be-
ing bordered by large tracts of red
flowers, which gave the impression
that there had come forth to the sur
lace once more. In any case this is
the popular belief among the peasants
OF the districts where battles ragged
only some months ago; but the real ex-
PLANTATION is that the poppy is the COM
panion OF wheat in France, just as the
bluebell mingles with the corn in Rus
STA, and that the poppy has usurped all
the space.-Ex.
