Metal Quotations
Eastern Markets

Silver Is strong with an advancing
tendency and the future outlook 10
bright. Increased production over the
entire west has no effect in reducing
the price, which were II not under con-
troll of the large interests might reach
spectacular figures.
Lead has been strong during the
week with rising prices. There is q
general scarcity of pig lead and an in
centive toward increased production.
The demand for European consumption
is at the present time great and the
market for lead is in q particularly
healthy condition.
Copper Is quiet. Buyers apparently
are assuming a somewhat disintereste0
attitude after the heavy buying In.
dulged in last December. Consumption
Of the metal is good and the market
price should be stable at the figure
quoted.
/ Zinc is fairly steady. though not sc
active as lead. This market, It Is an.
ticipated, will advance materially dur
ing the ensuing three months.
Platinum is steady at $3.50 an ounce
while iridium Is quoted at $500 al
ounce.
The tungsten market Is practicall,
dead and will probably remain 80 unit
the tungsten tariff Is settled.
Other metals of local interest ar

FAMOUS LAWSUIT OF THE
EARLY DAYS OF PIOCHE

menced the action against the Hermes
company.
During all this long period of time. |
from August. 1871. until January. 1878. |
the Hermes company had steadily |
worked its ground and had sunk its |
shaft 600 feet. and had expended In
hosting works and other improve
ments over 100000. The Raymond and
Ely company during all this time had
full knowledge of the Hermes claim.
Before Raymond conveyed his Pa
naca extension to the Raymond and
Ely the company had been sued by c.
F. McDermott of San Francisco on the
| same Identical extension. Perley went
4 to San Francisco. defended the action
and McDermott was defeated. Subse-
quentiy Raymond bought out McDer-
mott and conveyed the title thus ac-
quired to his company.
The case was tried before . jury in
April. 1873. the Raymond and Ely COM
pany being plaintiff and the Hermes
company the defendant
The chief points made by the defend
ant company before the court and Jury
were as follows:
First, that the Raymond and Ely
company entered into possession of the
ground under the Mammoth title and
not the Panaca. and were entitled only
to 500 linear feet on the vein.
Second, that the Hermes location
commenced at the west end Of that 500
feet and In no way interfered with
them.
Third. that the Panaca was q north
: and south location and was not made
on the ledge in question. but on
! wholly separate ledge.
Fourth, that the Panaca location die
not connect with the ledge struck ir
the Lightner shaft.
3 Fifth, that the Panaca notice Of 10
I cation was never made In good faith
, that II was not properly recorded ant
that it was utterly void for uncer
= ltainty.
Sixth, that II by any possibility tn
Panaca location could be considered a
covering any part of the Herme
e ground, it was forfeited and abandone
II by the original locators long before 1t
y conveyance to the Raymond and Ell
= company.
, Seventh, that the extensions bougt
'e by Raymond six weeks after tn
Hermes location were fraudulent, vol
ie and abandoned; and even II valid wer
lie by the stakes set, out Of the line Of tn
g. Hermes. on segregated ground far
as the south.
'y Eighth, that the Hermes was locate
~ on vacant. public land Of the Unite
or States, was held and worked in goo
is' faith with the full knowledge Of II
- Raymond and Ely company for t!
ne period of over one year and a half b
er fore the latter made any claim to 1t.
These issues were decided by &
as jury in favor Of the Hermes compan
e and thereupon, as has been remarke
m the two interests were compromise
ne Such is brief recital of the ma
le- points of a famous bygone lawsuit.

Artesian Bonus
Is Declared Void

The attorney generals office at Car
son City has held that another act OF
the legislature Is insufficient in its ap
preparation section to warrant the
state controller In making contemplat-
ed payments out Of the state funds
The law that fails to come up to re-
quired standards, in the opinion of the
attorney general. is AN act authoriz-
ing the expenditure Of money by the
state under certain conditions for the
purpose Of aiding counties in sinking
artesian wells" and was approved
March IS, 1915.
The ground for the opinion is based
on the claim that the appropriation
section Of the act in question makes no
specific appropriation and leaves the
controller without any authority to
segregate a specific amount in the
state treasury for the purposes OF the
act.

Caliente Witnesses
Spectacular Fire

Caliente suffered the loss Of its only
garage by fire yesterday morning at
1890 o'clock. The garage was owned
by L. l.. Burt, who also experienced
heavy loss by fire in the great Caliente
fire about two years ago. The garage
was formedly owned by H. w. Under
hill and was still known as Underhilrs
garage.
1t Is said a carload of gasoline was
stored in the rear end Of the gasoline
in barrels, the amount being estimated
at fifty-two barrels.
1t was only a short time after the
fire started when people began to hear
one explosion after another and prac-
tically everybody gathered at the
scene The explosions of gasoline
raised a redhot fire to the height Of the
hill just back of the garage. A rail-
road engine was soon on the scene and
placed a line Of hose. Finally there
were a dozen streams playing on the
fire.
Besides the loss of the gasoline
which was the property Of H. w. Un-
derhill there were Ave automobiles
which could not be removed and were
burned Three other automobiles were
taken out, but were so damaged tha
they will be a total loss.
The building, which was also tn
property of Mr.. Underhill. was burnet
to the ground. The cause of the fir
is unknown.
Mr.. Burt did not have time to re
move his papers and records, and these
too, went up in smoke.
Much sympathy is expressed for M
Burt in his severe loss. 1t Is believe
he had no insurance.
One good feature of the fire Is tina
! no one got injured. A barrel Of gaso
line or oil was hurled nearly 500 fee
in the air and fell within few feet {
: a man who was looking on. Someon
: gave warning to a crowd who had gon
in the yard to look on because of tt
certainty Of gasoline explosions. TIE
. minutes later the first explosion o.
Cured.
The government survey truck ",
y destroyed by the fire. as were also Il
~ automobiles belonging to George
= Senter, r. T. Jones, c. I. Himstreet al
- Hans Olson. Mr.. Burt also lost Sc
eral cars.

Commissioner Aliens staff. MT. Allen who closed the Hanover Trust company last Wednesday, in a state ment intended to reassure depositors in that institution and in other trust companies, said:
 "Nothng has developed so far to lead me to believe that the deposi- tors will not lose one dollar, the Hanover Trust company is the only trust company in New England that is involved in Ponzi's failure"
 The financial district was concern. ed yesterday when small run was made on several trust companies, due it was said, to reports that other fi' nancial institutions would be in. volved in Ponzi's affairs. There was no indication today of continuance of such withdrawals.
 The attorney generals offices have been engaged in study of the lega statutes to determine whether ac tion may be taken to compel all per. sons who had cashed their notes or OilLl, CQlCo anu C> turn the money back into common fund for equal distribution among al note holders.
 Brightwell Southerner. The arrest of Brightwell and hi. assistance came as part of the exten sive investigation by the authorities of Ponzi's affairs and other com banies offering high rates of inter est on investments. The Old Colon! Foreign Exchange company was or ganized July 10 under head of trus with Brightwell, Raymond Meyer and Funnar E. R. Londsblad of Swe den, as trustees. They offered tt pay 100 per cent in six months or investments and claimed to be deal ing in foreign merchandise. Attor ney- General Allen said he knew ths company had sent large sums abroad
 The offices here were closed aft CT frenzied run yesterday, surpas sing that of the widest days of tho run on Ponzi's offices.
 Brightwell was born in Atlanta Ga., 43 years ago and has been con nected with various mining, gas anc oil ventures in several parts of the country.
 An involuntary petition in bank ruptcy directed against three off cers of the Old Colony Foreign Ex change company was filed in fedora court today. Raymond M. Meyers Brightwell and Londblad are named fin the action. At the same time another petition for the appointment of a receiver for Ponzi and his Sc curities Exchange company was fil ed.
