sugar consumed In Colorado every ycnr

The Calhoun Gold Mining Company
will try to carry It suit against the
Ajax Mining Company to the United
States Supreme Court. In the decision
of the State Supreme Court in this case
Inst week. the court reversed itself and
held that Junior locators did not own
blind veins on senior claims, and that
MS mining In this state was still In Its
infancy II would be better TO reverse
the former decision Of the court nt this
time than to allow the matter TO run
on and thereby injure many large In
tcrests. This opinion upheld the final
Judgment OF the El Paso court and did
away with the Supreme Court decis-
ion in the case Of Branagan against
Dulaney, eighth Colorado. Judge
Gnbbert gave the opinion. The reversal
will disarrange the business OF many
interests besides those directly con-
cerned. Lawyers for the calhoun
company served notice on Clerk Clark
Of the State Supreme Court yesterday
that they would ask for n rehearing
OF the case. 1t is not expected that this
will be granted. II 1t Ia refused the

received with great satisfaction among
all the state officials, and there was
general rejoicing about the capitol, for
they are all confident that the unex-
pccted windfall will prove the states
salvation and result In the tiding over
OF NIL the state institutions until the
next regular session of the Legisla-
