RECORD OF THE COURTS.
The Granite Mountain Mining Com
pany's Side Of the Wood
Contract Story.
It Says That Plummer Resigned
Without Being Requested
to Do So.
Directors Thought They Could Have Got
tho Wood for Thirty Thousand
Dollars Less.

The Granite mountain mining company
filed m answer to John W. Plummer's
complaint in the United States circuit
court yesterday in regard to a wood con-
tract. 1t denies that John Hale was car
ried on In his expenditures under the first
contract made by the company through
Plummer, to the end that the company's
wood supplies might not fail them. The
company alleges the fact to be that it had
fully paid Hall for the wood delivered by
him under the first contract and that Plum
mer~ wrongfully and without the consent of
the company, paid Hall NJ amount $1,000
in excess over and above the amount then
due Hall from the company; that Plummer
w%rongfully appropriated the company's
money to make the payment and subse-
quently voluntarily repaid it, acknowl-
edging his liability therefor and exoner-
ating the company. The company also
denies that in the spring of 1883, pur-
suant to instructions or in accordance
with his duties, Plummer, after advertising
for bids. entered into a further contract for
10000 cords of wood and accepted the low
est bid. 1t is also denied that in August.
1883, false charges were submitted against
RUNNER III COlHeCGlOu Win UAo WOUu COlk-
tract and that there was a demand that
Plummer should get Hall to break the con-
tract to the end that it might be relet at 81
per cord less. The company says 1t did not
insist upon Plummer securing a RECESSION of
the contract or that it declared he had let
the contract for ST per cord too much. 1t
denies that Plummer, finding himself treat
ed with suspicion or distrust, or being sub
ject to constant or repeated modification
on account thereof. severed his connections
with the company. 1t says Plummer did
not tell the president of the company it was
impossible to break the contract and
that he would pay the company
$50, 600 if the transaction was not fair
That any such offer was made is denied. and
it says no money was paid to it. The facts
az alleged by the company are that wher
the directors went to Granite in August
1883, Plummer, without being requested to
do SO, resigned, and several weeks after
voluntarily admitted that he was indebted
to the company for about $4,000 or 100000
which he secured to the company without
any conditions or qualifications, and was &c
accepted.

Platinum jewelry is in danger of becom.
ing a thing of the past. Lately the price of
the precious metal has been rapidly advano-
ing, until now it's value is almost prohibit
DRY. The demand is greater han the
supply. and in q short time the price bids
fair to be out of the reach of jewelry manu-
%facturers. The advance is attributed to
the large number of electric works now in
operation. The amount of platinum used
in the manufacture of electric apparatus is
Each electric light contains
about six inches of platinum, and if the
metal is not pure 1t will not stand the in
tense heat. AS the electric light grows
more in favor the demand for platinum is
greater, and unless some substitute is dis
covered, the chances are that platinum will
be indeed a precious metal. The manufac-
ture of platinum jewelry is moro expensive
than of any metal. The ordinary heat of
the blow-pipe will not melt it and it has to
go through a process which is very expen-
sive, and in which an appreoiable percent
age of the platinum is lost in the working.

commissioners wear spectacles, and all

we used the word permit" we had
special reference to the Journal. We
should have said invited" if we had
not included the Journal. Perhaps the
Journal does not know that there is
pending in the district court a suit to
set aside sheriff sale on the ground
that it was published in the Journal,
and that the Journal is not a paper
having a general circulation i'll the
county. The law does not allow the
commissioners to give the printing to
any paper which has not a general cir
culation in the county. Mr.. Hall was
permitted" to bid, and if he had re
ceived the work, the Journal would
have howled just the same.
