Title to Copper Canyon Claims
According to information received in
Reno yesterday by George B. Thatcher
the United States Supreme court has re
fused a hearing to the Glasgow Mining
company in its litigation with the
Homestake Con. Placer Mines company,
owner of the Copper Canyon placers.
This means that all litigation is over
and that ownership and possession of
the property "from now on will vest in
well known people of Carson, Reno and
Tonopah, and, moreover, a piece of
ground that has long lain idle, will be
worked and its untold wealth turned
into the channels of trade. "
The chief owners of the property are
George A. Cole, George B. Thatcher,
Gilbert Ross, Ed Malley, Charles A.
Stout and William Forman. There are
also a number of others who hold lesser
stock interests. It is probable that the
company, with its title now clear, will
hold an early meeting and devise a plan
for the immediate operation of the prop
erty. The ground is rich in placer gold
and in days past produced a consider
. able sum of money. It has been a Mec

period of litigation, when under bond,
the Glasgow company was supposed to
have a watchman present to protect its
treasures, it was robbed of many an

CHANGED HER MIND
A story comes from Reno that a short
time ago a fair eastern divorcee was
questioned very closely by the district
judge regarding her past residence in
this state and her plans for the future.
She stated that she was in love with
Nevada and had no other thought but
making this state her future home. The
divorce was granted. Before leaving
the court room she went to the judge,
shook his hand and bade him goodhy,

Dr. James L. Gordon of the San Fran
cisco First Congregational church in
his sermon Sunday said: If any
blame is attached to the Mary Pickford
case it rests on the state, its lax laws,
and not on the pastor w1k performed
the ceremony which made the fair ac
tress the wife of Douglas Fairbanks."
In his sermon Dr. Gordon advocated
,-La universal law pron irming marriage
for a period of from three to five years
after divorce and alimony only in de
serving cases.
The laundering in Nevada courts of
California's dirty divorce linen has
routed public sentiment throughout this
state to such a pitch that the coming
legislature will have to pass a divorce
