The supreme court yesterday handed
down an opinion affirming the judg-
ment of the lower court in the case of
Samuel c. Ewing and LeonOra n. Ew-
/ ing, appellants, against David Keith
and the Silver King Mining company.
In 1898 S. c. Ewing made an assign
ment for the benefit of his creditors.
At the time of the assignment he was
the owner of thirteen fifteenths of the
EIdorado mining claim. Keith was one
of his preferred creditors, the claim of
Keith being evidenced by a promissory
note for $1,000. In May, 1884, Keith
Endorsed on the note that it was fully
paid, and surrendered it to Cullins, the
assignee, and Cullins Joined Ewing ana
his wife in a deed conveying to Keith
dorado claim, the consideration named
being 81, 600, and on Dec. II, 1895, Keith
and wife conveyed the Eldorado mining
claim TO the Silver King Mining COM
pany.
on Oct IS, 1885, this action was COM
menced to have the deed of Ewing and
wife and Cullins adjudged to be a
mortgage to secure the 1000 note of
Ewing.
The trial court found the issues for
the defendant, and the opinion holds
that to establish the claim of the
plaintiff. the entire burden was thrown
upon him to overcome by clear, I'M
equivocal and convincing testimony the
strong presumption arising in favor of
the terms of the written instrument,
which was that the property was con-
veyed to Keith by an absolute deed.
The court held that the proof was not
sufficient to establish the plaintiffs
claim.
Errors in admitting certain testimony
and excluding other testimony were
urged by the appellants, but the SUI
preme court found no errors, and,
therefore, affirmed the judgment of the
trial court.
The opinion was by Justice Miner
concurred in by Chief Justice Zane and
Justice Bartch.

What O'Neill SAYS.

Denver News: The shipment of an
timony from Nevada to Brice, the gold
transmuter of Chicago, calls forth a
protest from Mr.. Robert O'Neill, for
merly of Leadville. but now engaged in
developing several rich properties at
Marysvale, Utah. He states that with
in 60 miles from Belknap on the Rio
Grande Western railway. the deposits
of anthony surpass those in any part
of the world for facility Of shipping. or
cost Of production. Under contract
with Brice, Mr.. O'Neill states that sew
eral miners got out a few carloads of
ore that ran so per cent. After getting
out the ore the miners We're not paid
and the agent left the country, pre-
sumably going tc Nevada to impose
on other poor workingmen.
Mr. O'Neill has several excellent gold
claims in Piute county that are free
milling and run from SO to SIS per ton.
He proposes to erect a stamp mill of 20
stamps with facility for adding as
many more. The mines are located at

Of a par value of 81 each, 100000 shares
of which have been set aside as treas

ing claims on Lion Hill. Ophir district,
TOoele county, which are known and
recorded as the Columbus, the Column

the Columbus being a patented piece of
ground; and on account of the location
of the group, it is believed that this

which runs from 80 to 800 ounces in
silver to the ton, and $150 to $l90 III
gold.
Drifts have been run on the vein,
which is a blanket formation. for some
distance. and the importance Of the
location IS best understood when il is
stated that the workings of the Chic

mineral zones Of this mine run into the
Columbus ground. In fact, it is under
stood that the main body of rich ore in
the Chloride Point is only 400 feet from

1t is the intention of the company to
begin at once the active and thorough

THE GRAND CENTRAL
Is Believed to Be Taking Ore From
the Mammoth.


For some time past rumors have been
in circulation to the effect that it was
believed that the management of the
Grand Central had been and was still
taking ore from the body of mineral
claimed by tie Mammoth company,
but it began 10 look as if there was
nothing in the report but idle talk
More recently, however, the story
was sprung again. and ii is now
claimed that the Mammoth company
has the apex to the vein now being
worked by the Grand Central people,
and that steps are soon to be taken TO
determine il the Grand Central is in
reality encrOachlng on the rights and
on the ore zones of the Mammoth COM
pany.
AS the story goes. it is stated that the
Mammoth company, some time ago,
asked for and was accorded permits
sion 10 make an underground survey of
the Grand Central workings for the
purpose of ascertaining if the Grand
Central was in fact taking ore from
the vein to which the Mammoth
claimed the apex. In fact. the Grand
Central people offered to join in with
the Mammoth in making the survey.
so il is claimed, but when the Mammoth
sent q surveyor 40 the mine he was de-
MED admittance. On the other hand
it is claimed that the Mammoth COM
pany had agreed to let the representa-
tives Of the Grand Central make an
underground survey Of the Mammoth
mine and that a similar refusal had
caused the denial of admission to the
Grand Central workings.
And so the matter stands, and it is IN
timateG that the Mammoth company
will apply for an order of court COM
pelling the Grand Central company to
allow the survey 70 be made as above
stated.
Indeed the directors of the Nam
moth company held meeting yester-
day afternoon, and il is understood
that this was one OF the subjects that
came up for consideration.
Word comes from Mammoth that the
mine has not looked as well for years
as It does at the present time.
