Idaho as will permit of the control of
the output of that remarkable region
If it can be accomplished it means the
control of the lead market of the world
Georgetown Herald: The business OF
Chamberlain S Co.'s mill has taken on
renewed activity recently, and Assayer

il one may Judge from the outlook at
the present time.

Idaho Springs Ncws: To recover the
stock that is withheld, John Owen has
sued the John. Owen NJ. and M. com.
pany for 52900tJ Charles Brewer, sec
retary OF the company, to avoid having
papers served on him here, left Idaho
Springs about midnight on Tuesday
driving to Littleton. Mr.. Ovens lawyer
and an officer started in pursuit, leaving
here over an hour late and overtaking
him as he was preparing to take the
train at Littleton. The great importance
OF serving the papers in Colorado lies in
the fact that the holdings OF the com
pany are in Colorado. The case will
probably be called in the district court
