QUICKSILVER GOES
UP, GOLD HILL MINES
STARTING TO OPERATE
GOLD II ILL, Ore.. April 30.
(Special) That tho quicksilver
mines in tho Gold Mill district, which
have been closed down since tho
closing of the late war, will resume
Is evidenced by tho activity In re
storing the old-time producers in
the district with a view of n per
manent resumption. The price of
quicksilver has soared from below
actual production cost prices to $85
tt flask of 7G pounds.
The latest property to bo reopened
and which has been closed since
1914, due to litigation, Is the Moun
I tain King quicksilver mine In the
. Gold Hill dlstnrt, 'owned by John
Warding of Washington, D. C. This
property is owned by J. H.-Hoyos, of
Detroit, Mich., located In a dense
forest tract of saw tlmbor at an ele
vation of 2600 foot and consists of
800 acres of patented land.
portion. of this will be refunded to the
stockholders under tho same court
decision.
Prior to the supreme court flecision
the state com mission was allowing
corporations to deduct In computing
its taxable Income the amount paid
resident stockholders In dividends,
while the stockholders were required
to pay income tax on their dividends.
The supreme court held this uncon
stitutional so that It is now necessary
for the tax commission to go back
and collect from the corporations on
these amounts previously exempted
and to refund to the stockholders
what they paid on their dividends.
The commission will not refund? to
stockholders If the corporations pay
ing them dividends have not paid
under the new ruling, and in no event
will refund money be availablo prior
to June 10.
Notices of tho intention to refund
havo been sent out to 3587 persons
holding stock in corporations, and
notices that further income tax is due
have been sent to 445 corporations.
OF
SUIT ENDED WHEN
NEW YORK, April 30. A bitter
attack on Joseph E. Widener - of
hlladelphia, defendant in. the .suit
brought by Prince Felix Youssoupoff
to recover two Rembrandt paintings,
was made today by Clarence J. fihearn
counsel for tho prince in his final
summation before Justice Davis in
supreme court, -.,.'
"I could shout 'perjury' from tho
housetops," he said, "I could say. that
Wldcner Js a thief, a perjurer and a
swindler. This is not necessary; he
has drawn his own picture on the wit
ness stand."
The contract under which Mr'. Wid
ener acquired the pictures for 100,000
pounds in 1923, Mr. Shearn said, "was
crafty, tricky and dishonest," and
''cloaked with a sickening- pretense of
the sympathy for the prince's finan
cial plight."
Charging Mr. Widener with trading
on a pretense of sympathy, Mr.
Shearn said: "Not for all the paint
ings In the Metropolitan or the
Louvre could I write my character so
low."
