WANTS LARGE ROYALTIES.
Suit to Be Commenced Against All
Electric Railways.

San Francisco, Oct. 1.-THE Call says
that bill of complaint will soon be
filed in the United States circuit court
here as the commencement of one of
the most important suits ever tried in
any court.
Binson Bidwell, who claims to be the
original inventor of the system by
which all the electric roads of the coun-
try are operated, is the principal COM
plainant. The Market Street Railroad
company of this city, the Thomson
Houston Electric company of Connec-
ticut and the General Electric company
of New York are made defendants and
similar suits will be commenced in sew
eral states.
Bidwell charges that the defendant
corporation, as well as others, has
made immense profits out of his inven-
tions, and the suits in question are
based upon infringement of his pat
ents. He asks for a royalty of 40 per
cent on the net profits.

ANXIOUS TO GET TO WORK.

Manager Hebron Waiting For Result
of B. C. & G. Co.'s Meeting.
Colonel H. G. Hebron returned yes
terday from Bingham, where for sew
eral days past he has been giving his
attention to operations at the prop
erty of the Bingham Copper & Gold
Mining company. Everything is NOV
ing smoothly at the mine and the new
tunnel is in some $50 feet, with the face
in highly mineralized quartz. Man
ager Heffron does not expect, how
ever. that the big ledge for which he
is driving will be encountered until an
other 200 feet at least have been driven.
On ms arrival in the city, Colonel
Heffron found a, letter from the COM
pany's main office in Boston, advising
him that the meeting of directors
scheduled for several days ago had been
postponed till the 10th. or Tuesday last,
owing to the non-arrival of the COM
pany's metallurgists; so it will likely
be three or four days yet before the
result of the new smelter and other
important propositions to be consid-
cred by the directorate will have
reached Mr.. Hebron, who issparticu-
larly anxious to get work started on
the extension of the tramway, some
1,500 feet of which will have to be
shielded before winter closes in.
Speaking of the operation of the
tramway, which will transport the ores
from the United States and Bingham
Copper & Gold companies mines to the
depot, Colonel Heffron said that the
moment the tonnage became too great
to handle with horses and mules. the
road would be equipped with Shea en-
gines and operated precisely as was the
Crescent tramway at Park City a few
years ago.

most important developments. The
crosscut to the west at lbs feet cut
the footwall for which this crosscut
was being driven. This is regarded as
the most important ledge of the group
of claims, and diligent work will be
prosecuted to ascertain it's value. The
management is hopeful of startling and
important developments during the
next thirty days. The property is bet
ter equipped with tools, cars, track,
supplies and blacksmith outfit than at
any time in the past. and work will
progress more energetically.

Especial Correspondence
Diamond. Oct I1.-Andrew Van Shu-
ten and Dennis Tobin, two prospectors
who have been working some five miles
below this place, or about hree miles
south of the Old Susan and FiSsures,
stopped over here en- route to Salt Lake
today. having been driven from their
seasons work by the arrival of the Sc
we're snow storm. The men had some
very. good copper rock that came from
one claim. and some Enthusiastically fine
carbonate Of lead ore that anne from
another location-neither bling forty
feet in depth. The writer talked with
Van Shuten, an old time prOSpector
from Idaho. who has but recently come
into the Tintic country. He was quite
enthusiastic over their finds, more es-
pecialay because of the presence of min
eral in the veins which he said were
not prodigiously large but strong and
pronounced in the strike. Van Shuten
asserted that he and his partner Tobin
had been quietly looking over the sec
ton of country south of Diamond. and
believed that if the formations and
conditions Astounding there did not
warrant development work then he
will never know when to commence
digging. He further said that careful
tracing and intelligent defining of the
caurse of the ledge; the peculiar vein
matter and all the characteristics OF the
crevice rock made him feel positive
that they had encountered the Joe Bow
ers vein down below. Speaking of the
three properties on the Bowers vein
Van Shuten said: Where 1 came from

ter than their showing, to make big
mines. because there is the making Of
them in any one of the three, but they

Mr.. Clement looks for quite an influx Of

group of copper claims on Antelope

thought a sale would have been con-
sunmated. Mr.. Freed was asked how
the deal was progressing yesterday,
and he said he did not think ANYTHING
would come of it. He was not at all
disconnected over the outlook, however,
and said that men were now at work
drifting for the vein from the bottom
of the shaft. which is something over
100 feet deep. In sinking, the vein was
cut at depth of something like fifty
feet and drifted upon till a nice body
of copper ore was opened up, and 1t IS
now the intention to open the vein be-
low and learn what the values are at
that depth.
