JUDGMENT IN MINING CASE
Says the Desired Cancellation of An
telope Deed Should not Be
Made.
JUDGE HILEs DECIDES AGAINST
HARRINGTON.

Judgment for defendant was yester-
terday found by Judge Hiles in the
case of Daniel Harrington and John
McNally against PhiIo T. Farnsworth
and r. D. Mcdonald. the court hold
ing that a cancellation of the deed upon
the facts presented would be contrary
to law, and further suggesting that
should the plaintiffs insist upon getting
the full amount of $4,000, that the su-
ing of Trustee Hall was their proper
remedy
The plaintiffs in the action sued to
have a certain deed to the Antelope
and other mining claims, in the Bing-
ham district, declared void on the
grounds that the option of sale to P. T.
Farnsworth had not been lived up to.
Harrington, McNally and the defend
ant, Mcdonald, some moths ago en-
tered into a contract TO sell the above
property to FaTnsworth for $50. 000 to
be paid in The following installmen1s
$4,000 cash down, $4,000 at thirty days
from date OF contract. $1,000 in ninety
days and the $4,000 balance in six
months. The last installment plain
tiffs allege, was not paid, while the
defense set forth that 1t was paid to
the credit Of plaintiffs into Mcconnell s
bank, where it is at the present time
on deposit. and that owing to the fact
that $4,000 commission. which was
agreed upon at the time of the con-
tract, had been deducted from the pay
ment, plaintiffs refused to accept the
same.
The deed in question was held in es-
crow with Attorney ". c. Hall. who
delivered it to Farasworth upon receipt
of the last installment of $4,000. Nc
Donald received his share of the mining
deal and testified that he was perfect
" satisfied with It at the trial. On
account of his not agreeing to enter
with plaintiffs in the suit he was con-
sequently made one Of the defendants

HEINzE,s CO.. TRUsT.
How He Drove a Wedge Into Another
Copper Combine.

Copper Combine.
In commenting on the Amalgamated
Copper company the Boston News Blu
reau in a current issue says:
Tt may be alleged that the failure of
Anaconda, which is the largest asset
Of the Amalgamated company, to fol-
low the upward movement of Amalgs-
mated, is due to the Heinze iitigatlUn
now going on over the Anaconda mine
Itself. Mr.. HeinZe obtained an injunc-
ton against the Anaconda, TIE St. Law
renee and the Never Sweat. but when il
was explained to the court that about
500 miners would thereby be thrown
out Of employment. the judge vacated
his temporary injunction and set Jan.
20 as the time for hearing on the QueS-
ton Of a permanent injunction.
The litigation here is quite the fun
NEST that has outcropped in the forty
nine mining law suits now running at
Butte. The Anaconda and the st. Law
renee are the two great claims on the
great Anaconda lode. As the vein
curves around the mountain, these
claims were located in the early days.
by their full length on the inner circle
OF the l20 feet vein This left q wedge
between them widening to the outer
circle. Mr.. Heinze discovered that
wedge. and his company, known as the
Copper Trust, located upon it, and
while it appeared to be a miners minor
matter at first, it has become very
serious for the greater Copper Trust
which now, through the Amalgamated
controls the Anaconda, and through it
both the great mining claims the St.
Lawrence and the Anaconda.
The VEN dips to the southwest and
down the mountain, and as it is on a
curve around the mountain, Mr.
Heinze's Copper Trust, entering
through this wedge on the vein, ex-
pands as it does down, and he not only
divides the two great mines of the
Anaconda each frcm the other, but he
makes for himself a valuable mine
right between them. whose value in
creases rapidly with depth, because its
lines expand like those Of a pyramid.
Associated with this .Heinze claim is
also the claim that the foot wall of the
Anaconda is in Heinze's claim. and to
adjudicate these claims on this vein
Mr.. Heinze applies for an injunction.

Owners-F. c. Jennings yesterday with
a bond, duly signed, which he turned
over to c. E. Street Samples Of ore
from the vein just opened were brought
down by Mr.. Jennings and an idea of
its character can be had when it is
known that much Of the rock, which is
a white quartz, carries free gold.
The property consists of four full
claims adjoining the FL Amigos west
end lines and the same lodges traverse
both groups The strike just made is
in one of the lodges which the FL Ami
COS tunnel has not yet reached and
goes that much farther towards estab-
fishing William DiX's assertion that
several parallel veins run through the
ground covered by the two groups.

falo claim is all Of eight feet wide and
if the ore brought in by Mr.. Jennings
is any criterion TO go by, the Drag Road
group is going to prove valuable pro-
