A decision has been handed down by District Judge George S. Brown, in llie suit of B. E. Mahoney and F. D. Oldfield, against the Ely Consoli dated Mining company, to quiet title to two claims in Robinson mining district. The decision is a reversal of one given by a jury before whom the case was tried, and which gave a verdict in favor of plaintiffs. The verdict by the jury was a general one, and in his decision. Judge Brown holds that as the case was one in equity, a general verdict could not properly cover the points involved. The claims involved in the contro versy were the Midnight No. 1, and Midnight No. 2, originally located as the Poorman and Tiger. The original location expired, and the property was relocated by the defendants. The testimony showed that the location work was improperly done. The same claims were located by the plaintiffs, which location was held to be illegal. BULLION PURCHASES. Mint at Carson Pays Only Cash for liars—$12.1,000 Sent Out Monthly. "Are you running on a cash basis here, governor?” was asked of Su perintendent Colcord of the mint yes terday, and in reply he said: "I am just in receipt of a letter from the southern part of the state asking that identical question. We are paying cash for bullion, and lots of it. During the past month we have sent $125,000 in coin, into the southern country, together with a large amount around this vicinity. Heretofore we have bpen buying their bullion and paying New York and San Francisco exchange for it, but now everything is cash. Nothing but cash will do. We receive their bul lion. and after ascertaining the value of it we send a check to the San Francisco sub treasury for coin to be sent to the depositors. Til this way we can make a saving to the deposi tors in both time and money, as we aim to handle their bullion in a day or so. while in San Francisco, 1 am told, that it takes from 15 to 20 days to get returns on a shipment, owing to the’ congestion of bullion being of fered here. Then there is the sav ing of $1,50 per thousand in the ex press rate as between Carson and San Francisco. On the large amount of Bullion we handle this amounts to a no inconsiderable sum. “Notwithstanding the tightening up of the output of the southern mines, owing to the refusal of the smelters to receive their ores, we are receiving an unprecedented amount of bullion. Our receipts last month were within a thousand dollars of as much as the receipts for the fiscal year 1904 amounted to, and this month we will be several thousand dollars above October. My force is inadequate to handle the amount of bullion offered, and 1 have taken the matter up with irector of me Mint l.each, and am expecting his reply daily. We nave been able, with my force working overtime, to keep up with our work, but with the amount coming in and that which will come in with the completion of the reduc tion works now under way, we can not handle it; but all that will be carefully looked after by the proper officials.”—Carson News.

T1IE TELEPHONE LISTENING HOARD Canada was rccntly aroused by the disclosure that privacy over the tele phone is at (lie discretion of the tele phone company, and it demands some legal protection, such as that for let ters and telegrams. The case arose ill an election trial, one of the parties having a record of a conversation over the long-distance service. He was thus enabled to refresh his mem ory, and to testify to the disadvantage of his opponent who enjoyed no such advantages. The mechanical possibility is fami liar enough everywhere. It is the re velation of the course of business which is disquieting. The Canadian companies, in the usual wray, make distinction between business and fam ily telephones, and for the purpose of deciding which is which maintain a system of espionage. The Canadian journals are annoyed at this practice, even in the proportions named, but they are enraged by the belief that it extends much further. They as sert that provision is made for listen ing at nny selected telephone, and that conversations are frequently writ ten out and reported to officials when they have no justification in the busi ness between the company and its customer. They insist that the mat ter should not be allowed to rest as CLASSIFIED ADS Advertising under this head must lie paid for in advance, except in in stances where the advertiser has a running account with the News for display advertising space.

Train No. 4. 12:32 p.m j mailer of report, but the facts shall be established in the public interest by the testimony of the customers and employes wno have had experience of such cases of breach of confidence. The remedy easiest to apply is one in every one's power. Nobody should say anything over a telephone which he would not telegraph or write upon a postal card. The application of this remedy needs only the spread of information that is necessary. The Canadian telephone companies plea that they maintain the listening board as a business necessity is on a 'parallel with the hypothetical plea by the Government that it has a right lo search the mails. The experiment has been tried in Anglo-Saxon coun tries, but the experience does not warrant repetition, even where the alleged motive and necessity are ur gent. The only urgency alleged in the case of the telephone Is one of busi ness necessity, and it does not appear why the telephone company should not conduct, its business upon equity with other business. A tradesman who regulates his charges by system atic eavesdropping would find a cor rective applied speedily, and his ple« of necessity met with scorn. The customary use of cipher in Important telegraphic business attests belief that telegraphic secrecy Is not perfect Indeed, there are few users of the telegraph who have not had reason to suppose that their exchanges are read with discretion and care not strictly incidental to the business of transmission. Yet the telegraphic secrecy is pretty well observed. The Canadian case may serve to set a precedent for neccessary legislation which would promote freedom of use of this modern necessity.—New York Times. Fur From It.
