' A n Other Districts, However, are not Free From This Class of Genus Home. Tlioru Ih olio thing among n grent ninny othors of which the Surnptor dlHlrlct ciin lioitHt, anil UiIh ono tiling Ih altiioHt an entire iiIihmico of a HpooioH of koiiiih homo known iih tho knookor.

Othor districts aro not ho free from lit h presence, however. Commenting on tho knocker in general ami ending with grievances along thlH lino from tho Soltlo.TimoH and tho Northwest- crn Minor, tho Mining and Engineer ing Hovlow, of Han Francisco, wij'h: "11 Ih a singular fact that mon who aro engaged in IiuhIiiohh in inlnliiK districts, and who aro actually deriv ing their sustenance from tho mining iniliiHlry will place ovory obstacle in tho way of obtaining capital to de velop tho mineral resources of their own districts. "There Ih a certain eliiHH of undo velopeil IiIIoIh with just oiiuugh hoiiho to know how to oat, that lioliovo tho proper thing to do Ih to knock every thing they don't know anything aliout. "With all (ho evidence of men growing wealthy around them from tho prod net h of mining they never Heem lo learn that minion Ih like all other IiuhIiiohh, a legitimate ven ture ami thai fewer fiillnrcH aro re corded III Unit than In any other hutdticHH. The Seattle Tiincn in commenting 011 this subject says: " 'It would Im well for mining in toroHtH of Washington If men who aro uninformed concerning tho milling possibilities would inform themselves before answering queries that aro put to them liy strangers. Kecently, a visitor from Ulovelaud, Ohio, came to Seattle iih tho representative of capitalists, for tho purpose of omuii lulng tho Ethel at Index, and inci dentally, other mining propertlcH in Western Washington. Unfortunately ho mot an attorney of the city who gave him a decidedly poHHlniiHtiu talk aliout tho mining resources of tho CahcaileH. Tho posltivcucss with which ho bpciko led tho visitor to huh pect that the man wiih Informed. The stranger wiih probably already directed with a feeling of homesick ness at being ho far away from IiIh family, and when he heard tho Seattle mau'H wall, decided to return home, not even vIhH in the property ho came went to look at. Tho injustice of the lawyor'n "knock" Ih plain to any well-informed person. In com menting upon tho incident tho North went ern Miner nay: " 'Ah a mutter of fact, tho whole went hide of Washington Ih IioIiik projected and opened up for min eral. In tho Mount linker district there aro at least two companies turning out bullion from their mills, besides several others that are practi cally rendfy to do ho. In Monte Crtnto and Sllverton two othor com panion are outpiittlug steadily, and now iiiIIIh aro being iiiHtnllod at the latter place. Index has one property paying dlrldeudH, and at leant three othern ready for plants. In fact, from one end of the state to tho other on the went ern nlope of the mouutaiiin Important Decision. Tho Supremo Conrt of tho United StutoH Iiiih decided the long contested ciiho involving tho ownership of tho HillHldo miucH, in western Vnvapai county, Arizona. In 1801 John Lawlor and iiHHOciateu Hold tho group of minoH, of which tho most import ant wiih tho HillHldo claim, for 8450, 000. TJio deed was placed In escrow, tho monoy to ho paid in installments to tho ownorH of tho property. A largo ciihIi payment wiih inado and tho purcliiiHorH Incorporated ns tho Sovon Stars Mining Co.

It wiih alleged liy tho stockholders that tho proHpectim contained many mis- HtatomoutH, and an oirort wiih nindo to hold Lnwler and WoIIh, who woro tho principal owners of tho property at tho timo of tho wile, responsible tor tho lulHHtatomoutH made by tho pro mot oi-h of tho company. Tho Su premo Court of Arizona decided tho ciiho in favor of dofeudiintH, and tho ciiho wiih appealed to tho United StutoH Supremo Court, which Iiiih now alllrmed tho opinion of tho lowor court, the court holding that Lawlor and WoIIh woro not cognizant of tho mtHroprcHoutatioiiH made by tho pro moters; and oven had they boon in formed on tho Hiibject, they could not have boon held responsible.
