BUTTE, March i.-TSpecial to the lnde-

over the death Of A. Webb, telegraphed

A Mining Deal which Has Been the
Cause Of Much Litigation.
BUTTE, March l.-[Special to the Inde-
pendent Suit has been begun here
In the district court against John Il. Lloyd
for $4,000 by his former partners, William
Harris and William u. Lloyd. who, with
him, owned the Harris and Lloyd tunnel
properties. These properties were sold
some time ago TO the Boston and Montana
company. The plaintiffs, in their suit,
claim that Mr. Lloyd, as their agent, sold
the properties nominally for 100000.
They believed that the consideration was
as represented in the papers drawn up,
but have since come to believe
that the consideration was $780,
600. They accordingly sue for
$4,000 which they allege was retained by
Mr.. Lloyd, the remainder having been
paid as n commission. This Ii the second
suit growing out Of the sale, and the Bos-
ton q Montana company is made party 10
this one. The first suit Is by Carter q
Owens, against Lloyd, claiming that they
made the negotiations between him and
the Boston Il Montana, and asking for s2O,-
600 damnQes.

Washington, had his attention called TO the
published statement OF DIR. McCAhey, of
Philadelphia, impeachIng the accuracy OF
the London cablegram 10 the Associated
Press on the day Of the exposure Of Plgott's
falsity. The statement OF McCahey was to
the effect that Egan and Sullivan did not
make the exposure; that Father Dorney
did not carry the papers to London, but
that they were taken over by a
Mr.. Robertson. Mr.. Egan declared
the Mccarthy statement alt ogether wrong,
and corroborsted the story given In the
Associated Press cabiegram OF Feb. rs.
Mr.. EgaD gave the reporter some interest
ing gossip on the character Of Pigott and
his methods i dsing money, etc. When
asked II he believed Pigott originated the
scheme or was hired 20 II, Mr.. Egan said;

alone; but also believe he sold the Times
