later the police had their hands full Hum
dreds of men, women and children from
the Italian quarter rushed screaming to
the docks There the excitable foreigners
wept and prayed, kneeling in the pools of

VERDICT IN LIE ROI CASE.
Nearly S6)0.OO0 Involved, in Favor OF b.
A. c.. Defendant.

The case, involving nearly six hund' ed
thousand dollars. over IN. prize OF lie
Rol stock. IN which J. !. and J. q, Eng
li>h, oi the tolcondi. were among the
plaintiffs. and Governor Macintosh was
the promoter vi the sale, was tried at Vic.
torla. British Columbia, last week and a
verdict rendered Tor the defendant. Re.
gariing the case and trial, the Spokes'
man Review SAYS:
The British America corporation won In
the sui, brought against II by l.. +. Win
iams and others for the payment oi SS07,.
7ils7, alleged to I've due them on the sale
oi the lie Roi mine.
Avcrditt t,r the defendant conpiny was
brought In by the Jury AT Victoria, British
Columbia, at ~ o'clock Yesterday morn
ing, after many hours ot delibrra ion.
The decision means that the majority
holders In the lie Roi. who received only
So per share Tor their stock, are not en-.
tlled 10 the Si,,s additional. at which the
minority holders were houeh, out.
The story ol the difficulty is a long and
complicated one, and thu suit has been
hard fought, a prominent array Of lee,l
ability being employed on poh sides.
Summarized the case is as tollow>
The majority interest in the lie Roi was
held by /. T, Williams, Colonel !. \.
Pey,on, Valentine Pevton, ID, W. Hen
lev and Major J. n, Armstrong, OF Spo'
kane; the EnglishS, OF D,nvllIe, Illinois,
aud others. These majority holders
wished to sell the mine on a basis OF 50
per share or s. 900 900 for the mine.
The minority faction. headed Nv Senator
George Turner and others, would not as
sent 10 the deal on this basis. The ma
joritv interest was bought for So per share
and, after long neeo'i,tions, the minority
holders were finally bought out for S7.2s
per share.
The Sumpter miner. [volume] (Sumpter, Or.) 1899-1905, 1901-02-13

The representative of the b. A. G. was
ex.Governor Charles II. Macintosh, and
ne suit rested on an alleged verbal agree
ment with him. II Vas claimed by plain.
tlns that Macintosh had promised that
the majority holders should get the same
amount as might have to be paid to the
minority holLrTs tor their interest. II Is
admitted, hoAever, that he was released
from this agreement, but they claim that
Mackinto>h did not tulhll all the con.
dllions ot the az cement and that they
were therefore justified IN keeping him to
his former promise To pay them the dif.
ference between thr tAo prices.
The defendant denied that Macintosh
had m tide any such agreement or that he
had authority TO do so. They held that
he agreed not 10 buy out the Turner's at
a higher hgure than was paid the Pey
tons without apprai>ing the latter and oh.
'al,ing Their consent. They further held
that the release he afterwards asked tor
when a purchase had been partially ar.
ingei with the Turner's was merely IN
regard to this permission; that the letter
written by Colonel Peyton and read to
Macintosh only agreed To this, and that
the subsequent portion OF II dealing With
the bonus proposal was added aiterward

VIRTUE DISTRICT WAKING UP.
Mine Of That Name Will Resume-Aetiv-

The long period of depression that has
existed in the old Virtue district, a few
miles east OF Baker City. seems likely to
be broken Nth the advent OF spring, judg.
ing from the activity that is now manifest
there, and many new and promising pros.
poets that are undergoing energetic de.
velopment.
Continued good reports come in from
the Mammoth mine IN the Virtue district,
new location about one aud one.half
miles from the old Virtue mine.
The location was made last fall. II
was a "blind" lead and its existence was
never suspected in all the twenty years or
more that prospecting has been going on
In the vicinity, aud It was only found py
the panning process. After the surface
ground was stripped the ledge was laid
bare in places and for distance Of 200
feet the ledge was sampled and returns of
SIoo per ton were the result.
Since its discovery and change Of own.
ership from the original locator, . shaft
has been sunk 80 feet and from the bot.
tom OF the shaft drifting is now going on.
The ledge is now from six to eight feet in
width and Of very high grade.
The Mammoth is owned by J. n. Par.

A short time ago the new manager OF
the Virtue Consolidated Mines company
paid visit to the Virtue mine and made
an examination of the property with the
result that he expressed likelihood Of
the old property being again worked and
resumption occurring in the near future.
He Is expected here again shortly. at

known.
