Crimp in Contempt.

The supreme court of New Mex
leo has just handed down an opin-
ion reversing a Judge of the dis
trlct court in his findings of con-
tempt against the editor of a
Santa Fe newspaper. The dis
trlct judge had held Mr.. johnson.
the editor, guilty of contempt and
sentenced him to thirty days in
Jail for criticising the court fol
lowing a trial of libel suit
brought against a newspaper.
In overru)ing the district court
the supreme court held that un-
der our theory of government the
right of free speech and a free
press are essential to the public
welfare, and so long as attacks
on the courts or judges does not
interfere with the administration
of justice there is no contempt.
The supreme court further lays
down the law that judges cannot
use their contempt powers to
work out their private grudges
and grievances. 1t is about time
some of the arbitrary powers of
court were curtailed even if it is
necessary. for the legislatures to
pass laws regulating them. If
every man elevated to the honor
able position of a Judge was
broad, liberal minded, and earn
est in the discharge of his duty,
there would be no need of regu-
latlon of the powers of the court,
but under our system of elections
it sometimes happens that a mar
row, Wizen-soul individual, who
was a better politician than
lawyer, succeeds in being elected
judge, and he at once assumes
autocratlc powers, not only to
punish personal enemies, but to
try to ward off merited criticism
of his malfeasance in office by
contempt proceedings, wherein
he is the accuser. judge and exc.
cutioner. Another wide depart
ure from the long established
rule which the New Mexico su-
preme court sets aside, is the
courts presumption of the alleg-
ed offenders guilt, and putting
the burden of proof as to his in
nocence upon him. The supreme
court holds that the burden of
proof must rest with the court
to prove the guilt of the offender.

With a total precipitation of one
tenth of an inch (water). the first
now storm of the season descended
gently upon Winnemucca late last
night. It was an early storm. Ons,
may hear all sorts of prognostica-
lions regarding its significance. One
man SAYS II means a long, hard win
er: the next one remarks it is q
sure sign of no more snow until
after Christmas. Stock men declare
II will make good foundation for
future snow in the mountains, which
will remain late next season. much
to their advantage. There had been
two or three slight fiurries before
last night. and she's still a-furryin'
this afternoon. Exchanges are talk
ing about real, honest-to-goodness'
winter, but about all we know about
Il is that we're here first-and will

him till he gets we'll. but she would
not be separated from him.

his father, mother, and brother,
from Alsace-Lorraine, whom he had
not seen for fifteen years, and con-
tinued with them on their journey to
San Francisco. The family expects to
locate at or near that city.
Andre Levy came to the United
States fifteen years ago. He is one
of those who had peculiarly disas-
trous, though unfortunately no un-
common. experience during the war.
After, years of work he had at last
acquired a business of his own in a
town south of San Francisco. When
the United States entered the world
war he made arrangements to sell
his business, and offered himself as q

OLD ASHDOWN MINE
Ev|NCES REAL LIFE

Ten trucks are at present engaged
in hauling materials and winter sup
plies from Jungo to the old Ashdown
mine, on the west side of the Pine
Forest range, in Northern Humboldt
county, not far from DEMO. The first
unit of modern milling plant is be-
ing constructed at the mine, which
will have a capacity of from fifty to
sixty tons a day. Other units will
be added. it is expected. next spring.
The Ashdown is an old property,
named after its discoverer and for
mer owner, James Ashdown, who
operated the mine successfully about
fifteen years ago. The Ashdown
Gold Mines Company. of which t. S.
O'Brien is manager, took over the
property last spring and has pushed
development work ever since. AT
present there are a mile and half
of workings, the greater part of
which are on the vein. 1t is gold
proposition.
As nearly as can be ascertained
from old records, James Ashdown
while he worked the mine, took out
about 10000 tons of ore. which net
ted him $5O0,000. Several leasers
have worked the property spasmodic-
ally since that time, but it was too
far from the bright lights to hold
them. 1t is said the values of the big
property have been little more than
scratched.
The Ashdown Gold Mines Company
is a close corporation which is lay
ing out work on a, big scale. Jungo
is it's shipping point.
