suit AGAINST n Mining Compay.

SIOUX FALLS, S. D., June 21-(Special.)
Considerable interest is centered in the
coming trial of the case Of the United States
against the Homestake Mining company to
recover on claim Of 100000 for timber
cut on government land and used by the
mining company. The case will be the prln-
Cipal one tried at the July term of United
States court here. 1t is estimated that over
300 witnesses from the Black Hills country
will be here to testify in the case, that the
trial will occupy two months and that 1t will
require an outlay of $4,000 to cover court
expenses during the trial. That the United
States proposes to prosecute the case thor
oughy Is evidenced from the fact that Judge
John e. Garland of this city has been APP
pointed special assistant district attorney to
assist District Attorney Miller in handling
the case. The Homestake people will set up
as a defense that the timber was used for
mining, building and fuel, and will claim
that they are not liable for pay for the same,
as there is United States statute which
allows the use of government timber for
manufacturing" purposes.
