COPPER GRANDE
GOES TO MCKENZIE

a decision OF interest to mining men
and Others throughout the state has
Just been made by Judge J Emmett
Walsh. of Mineral County 1t was in
the case Of c. w. Montague against
s. p. Mcdonald and others, to settle
the title to what is generally called
the Northern Light mines, but is in
fact the Copper Grande property.
The decision gives the title to the
property to defendants and taxes
costs against the plaintiff.
\ brief history OF the matter. will be
OF interest. The property was origi
nally owned by the Northern Light
Company, and was abandoned by that
company.
1t was located i'll January 1914 by
r. V. Taylor, in 1916 by S. R. Nc
Donald. who appointed d. W. McKen-
1ie, OF Yerington. his attorney-in-fact
and also decided the property to Me-
kenzie.
NlOlltdSllt. Ildllltlll Ill tiS PfSoShl
suit. claims to have located the ground
in 1915, when the defendants claim it
was not subject to location.
The matter has been in the courts
over two and half years. The suit
trict Court of Mineral County, in De-
trict Court Of Mineral Couny in Dc
cember, 1917. NThc case was tried in
Hawthorne in Novenlber,s 1919. The
arguments OF counsel took place be-
fore Judge Walsh in Reno, in January,
1920. and the decision i'll favor on de-
fendant--really DIV McKenzie-was
rendered on August 6, 1920.
The testimony was so vouminous
and the law points involved SO many
and complicated that it required q
deep research into legal authority to
enable the Judge to render just de-
cison.
Judging by the comments heard i'll
Yerington among people familiar with
the case, the decision meets with gen
eral approval.
The Copper Grande property is
situated in Mineral county. about p
miles southeast Of Ierington. 1t has
produced large tonnage OF asgst graoit'
copper ore. and is one olthe most at
tractive mining properties in the State.
We are informed that there are now
booked out in the mines 10000 tons
of shipping ore.
These mines have been under bond
to the Mason Valley Mines Company
for $250,0O0. the consummation of the
sale being held in abeyance awaiting
the termination of the existing litiga-
ton.
Probably the strongest array of legal
talent in the State was >employed i'll
the case Sam Belford and George S.
| Green, of Reno and n. Pilkington, of
Yerington. being engaged by Mr.. Nc
| Kenzie, and H. Y. Morehouse and
| Percy & Smith oi Reno, for the
| plaintiff.
