LAST CHANCE MINE
There Is Talk Of Starting Up the
Great Property Soon.
MINERS ARE FINDING WORK
The History of the Famous Litigsfion
Which Has Tied Up Producer
Tor Many Years.

Wardner. Idaho. June 2s.-The gener-
al good feeling which has existed here
TOR the last four days over the opening
OF the Bunker Hill and Sullivan mines
was augmented yesterday by the an
nouncement that IL is quite probable
that the Last Chance mine will open
within a month. IL Is stated upon re-
liable authority that In all proba bIlity
the injunction placed upon the Last
Chance company In the famous case OF
the Tyler Mining Company vs.. the Last
Chance Mining Company, win be raised
on the 18th instant, and that the Last
Chance people will Immediately put on
fun force OF men TO work their val
liable property. The company will en-
ploy from 50 to 100 men In the mine and
10 or Is in the mill.
The Last Chance. before IL got into
litigation with the Tyler company, was
one OF wardner's chief supports. and
that IL intends TO resume work is most
welcome news to business men and
miners. The fact that the Last Chance
company has no boarding house has
always been OF benefit to wardner, as
all the men either board themselves or
board with private individuals In Ward
ner. which means that the living ex-
fNA&1ND Va AAtE AnlASkH are EHtul Ak nome.
A FAMOUS LITIGATION.
The litigation which has kept the
Last Chance closed down is q part of
the history OF wardner. II is now
about six years since II commenced.
The case was first tried before the
United States district court, where the
Last Chance company won. The case
was appealed by the Tyler company 20
the circuit court OF appeals. which re-
versed the rulings OF the lower court
and sent II back 20 the lower court for
a new trial. At the second trial IN the
district court uie Tyler company was
successful The Last Chance company
appealed to the circuit court OF appeals,
which affirmed the decision OF the low
er court. and then the Last Chance
company took the case 10 the United
States supreme court. which reversed
the rulings OF the lower courts and
sent the case back to the district court
for a new trial. Should the controversy
between the two companies be settled
and both mines be worked as they were
at one time. II would be a boon for
/ Wardner.
PUTTING ON MORE MEN.
The Bunker Hill and Sullivan mines
are adding new men to their force ev-
cry day. Up to Saturday night 80 min
ers and about an equal number OF other
laborers had been put to work. The
company In now ready to put on min
ers as fast as they apply. until II has a
full force. and at the rate men came
in Saturday II will not be long until the
company win have all the men needed.
The effects of the opening of the
| mines here can be noticed already.
New buildings are being contemplated
and new businesses are TO be put In.

man OF the committee on resolutions.
McCreary was a member of the inter

ciated Press. Mr.. McCreary stated that
his experience with the English men,

surance that the advent OF the Sails

four and others were more favorable
than Rosebery and his associates for
such a conference. Mr. McCreary said
he was more hopeful now than before.
He not only regarded Lord Salisbury
as friendly 10 an international none
tary agreement. but also as n very
great statesman, who will be more lib
eral In his general policy than Rose
berry. There were active friends In En-
gland of bimetailism and Lord Sails
bury would recognize them. Although
England had maintained a gold stand
ard since 1915 Mccreary had no doubt
that bimetaiiism had many friends

Catholic ecclesiastic says OF the recent
