Claims-A Pitched Battle Is
Immin ent.

Denver, April 21.--A special to the News
from Idaho Springs, Col, says
Great excitement prevailed here today
over the possession Of the Bismarck mine
and tonight it appears as ii there would
be pitched battle over the possession OF
the property within the next "a hours.
1t is known tho. an organized effort
will be made to regain possession OF the
property. The difficulties originated al
most six months ago, when Beers Bros.
of New York City failed to meet their
mining obligat tons. The wages of the
miners were in arrears and an attachment
was made against the property to secure
the debt. Monnig & Bailey, who held a
| claim against Beers Bros. paid off the at
| tachment and took charge of the mine
| and have since been operating it.
| In the past month big strike Of minera
was made. 1t is claimed by the friends
! Of Beers Bros. that Monnig s Bailey Ions
| ago paid off it's Indebtedness. Last Weel
Beers Bros. offered TO pay that firm an.
balance due them. At first this scenes
| agreeable but last night Monnig az Bale,
| took forcible possession, threatening t
! annihilate any one who attempt to- eJec
them The mine is one of the prominen
ones in this county. The average valu
Of the ore is $50 per ton.
