while look through the store-room filled |
with q bewildering variety Of eatables |
with which to defy the coming winter,
left no doubts rs to the quantity. Every
thing about the property shows q combi
nation of mushroom-like growth, and
"come-to- stay" solidity, known only to
places like this where nothing venture,
nothing wins, " is the motto for all. Last
Friday the old within with which the
work of sinking had been facilitated was
replaced by a good engine which will
largely increase the rapidity of the work.
Large stores of fuel are on hand, and
every arrangement made for the comfort
and convenience of the employees, OF
which there are some twenty-five about
the works. Under the able management
OF Mr.. T.. p. Ferry, with Mr.. Martin rs
foreman and Mr.. q. Andrews as chief
engineer, this promising piece OF property
will be pushed for all il is worth during
the coming season.
THE MORGAN GROUP.
The Morgan group trouble has pre-
scented such series OF Kaleidoscope
changes of owners, possessors, claimants,
plaintiffs, defendants, rulings, exceptions,
fines, costs, changes of venue, ETC., etc,
as to make an attempt Mt a lucid expla-
nation very hazardous, not to say doubt
full, proceeding. The trouble seems TO
have grown out of a lease held by Mr..
George A. Meears from the Morgan
Mining Company, authorizing the said
George A. Meears, for and In considera-
ton OF certain sums Of money, to do GER
tain work in and about the property
known as the Morgan group OF mines. In
pursuance of the power vested in him by
the said lease Mr.. Meears did do GER
tain amount Of work, principally on what
is known as the Grizzly tunnel, part
of the said Morgan Mining Company's
property. Work was suspended
before the lease held by Mr.. Meears had
expired. The property then lay for some
time without being worked Then came
the Morgan Mining Company, and, claim
ing that the lease was forfeited, COM
menced to work the property for them
selves; whereupon Mr.. Meears comes
forward, and claiming that the lease held
good, Gusts the other party and prepares
to resume work. The ire of the repre-
sentative of the Morgan Company being
aroused by these proceedings, he rallied
his forces and by means OF some gentle
persuasion" retook the camp. The Meears
party then appealed to "the laws strong
| arm, anu III tTlil nelu III WiIlSulp De-
fore Judge Anderson, succeeded in estab-
fishing charge of forcible entry and
retention of the Grizzly tunnel, and q fine
of $25 and costs was imposed upon each
of four of the Morgan Company's en-
ployes. The Meears party then took
triumphant possession, but their triumph
was shot-lived; for scarcely had they
become installed when the Morgan Com
pany presented an order from the Third
District Court giving the said company
power to do the required amount of as
sessment work on their property. There
upon the Morgan Company were again
ahead. The whole affair is an exceed
ingly mixed one, and it is very probable
that it will be some time before the mat
ter will be entirely settled. The equity
proceedings have been appealed to thu
Third District Court, the decision o
which is being anxiously awaited by boil
parties In the three suits in which judg
ment has been rendered the Morgan
Company has been successful in two ant
defeated in one. Representatives OF botl
sides are now on the ground, but TIN
Morgan men are confident of success
: Further developments will be awaited
with interest and given from time to tim,
as they occur. GEMISI
