ON
FOX CASE
GIVEN
TWO LAND OFFICE OFFICIALS
DIFFER REGARDING TITLES
TO PROPERTY

Opinions by the registrar and re-
ceiver of the United States land
office at Carson have been received
in the Fox case. Shober j. Rogers,
registrar, decided against Fox and
the opinion of the receiver is in his
favor. The opinion of the registrar
is considered the more weighty in
land office matters and the decision
is regarded as a victory for Gold
field lot owners on the ground
claimed by Fox. Fox is allowed
Is days in which to apply for a
new trial on the ground of newly
discovered evidence, or 80 days in
which to appeal to the commission
er of the general land office.
1t is believed that the case Is
summarized by the registrar in the
following paragraph, taken from
his opinion:
Taking the testimony as a
whole, | am forced to doubt that
the mineral that may be contained
In this land is considered seriously
by the contestee, but there are rea-
sons to believe that title is sought
to this land solely for the purpose
of enabling contestee to levy tri-
bute on the lot owners who have
not heretofore paid him moneys to
relinuuish whatever claims he may
have adverse to their holdings" 4.
The opinions were rendered from
toct;nonv tokap in Eahruarv in
Goldfield before Miss NJ. T..
Shields, as commissioner of the gen.
eral land office, M. M. Detch and
Thompson and Thompson repre-
sented the lot owners.
The Fox case dates back to 1908,
in which year Fox made a location
at Myers and Main streets, to in
clude approximately 15OOx600 feet
as a lode mining claim, which he
called the Ramsey Extension and
upon which he made application
for patent. The ground covered
territory as far east as the east side
of Columbia street and included the
ground on which the buildings
there are erected, west to the west
side of First street. north to the
G%rimshaw hotel and south to the
end line of the claim, stretching
east and west practically from the
location monument.
The decision is considered prac-
tically a settlement of the case, as
it leaves the in possession
Of tho Iotc although there is the
possibility of a reversal by the
commissioner of the general land
office.
Many of the lot have
qlready settled with Fox, the own
ers of numbers of large buildings
in the business district having play
ed safe.

Swift Current Gets Two

Two young men. G. Masini aud
A. Matteussi, employees of the Flor
iston Paper mills, were swept to
their death when they were caught
in the swift current and carried
over the dam at Floriston The
body of one was later re 'vered.
They had started out in a roWboai
and had crossed without difficulty
at a point some distance above the
dam. In attempting to return they
underestimate the strength of the
current and at midstream their
boat was see from the shore to
be getting perilously near the dam.
They were able to turn the boat
and proceed upstream for a short
distance, but became exhausted and
realizing their predicament, leaped
overheard and struck u for the
shore. When within a few feet
of safety, the swift current swept
them over the dam and dashed
them on the rocks below.
