The Nugget is California’s Leading Mining Weekly Nevada City ugget ia VOLUME III, NUMBER 52 THE GOLD CENTER _ NEVADA CITY, NEVADA COUNTY, CALIFORN IA, THE COUNTY SEAT PAPER NOVEMBER 11, 1929 LOT LLOYD ROOT HAS BEEN NAMED IN TWO MINE SUITS Loyd 1. Root, former state mineralogist and well known in this section is nemed in, two mining suits now pending in Nevada and Siskiyou counties. In the suit filed by the Alcalde company in the local court the past week he is charged with holding stocy in his possession in the New Monte Christo Mining Company, intended to be placed in eserow along with a deed executed by the Alcalde company of certain properties in the Dead Man Flat cection. [t is chargel that instead of beisg placed in escrow the deed was turned over to the Monte Christo interests by the late George W. Roct. In the Siskiyou county case, Root is said to have been named as roceiver of the Buzzard Hill and Independence mines by federal court some time since and suit has’ been brought by Joseph E. Merriam of Mt. Kisko, New York, to close the receivership and secure possession of the property again. Merriam has been a Irrge investor in Callfiernia wing properties including the Grizzly To tge mine at Columbia Hill, but the litigation over the Siskiyou county properties has greaty hampered his operations in both counties. It is to be hoped that he ean bring the litigation t> a successful conelusion in the near future as it will mean large operations in both counties. Another chapter promises to be written in Nevada county mining litigation with the filing of a suit by the Alealde Gold Mining Company to recover “possession of its extensive properties in the Dead Mans Flat section .from the New Monte Christo Mining Company and a trust company. The court has been asked to restrain the sale of stock, to compel the reconveyance of the property and to quiet title thereto. The papers filed with Clerk Coughlan recite that on May 81st, 1927, the plaintiff company was induced to enter into negotiations with the defendant company through its agent, C. C. Julian, of Southern California oil agreed to deed County fame, and its property to the New Monte Christo ' company placing such deel in escrow. The defendant company was to issue stock, it i alleged, to stockholders of the Alcale company in amounts equal to their Alealde holdings and to assume some $30,000 of indebtedness. The complaint alleges that the defendant company issued the stock and turned to Lloyd L. Root who also held the deed from the Alealle company, but that he still holds the stock and had not deposit-it over ‘the movement AIRPORT COMMITTEE TO REPORT TOMORROW NIGHT Th principal item of business on the calendar for the monthly meeting of the Nevada City Chamber of LCommerce tomorrow night will be the consideration of the report from the special airport committee consisting of Fred F.

In spite of a superficial claim often made that gold does not pay ‘its cost of production, it can hardly be doubted that United States gold preduction, amounting to more than $4,5060,000,000 when reckoned roughly at $20. a8 ounce, must ihave been an important factor in assisting the development of other sources of national wealth. \ (Continued next week) IMPROVEMENTS MADE On Saturday, November 2, several boys turned out along with Coach Pedersen anl a carpenter and made several improvements on the athle-iic field. They rebuilt a very substantial backstop and }uit up poles for vaulting, high jum. ing, and for the voiley ball net.
