C0BRE GRANDE COMPANY.
Axel w Hallenborg Applies for a Re- ceiver-His Charges Against
 President Greene.

Speaking of the most recent suit in stituted in New York in the Cobre Grande case the New York Times has the following:
 Axel W. Hallenborg, a stock broker has added something to the compli- cated litigation over the Cobre Grande Copper company of Arizona. Through his counsel he applied to Justice Gildersleeve, in the supreme court on Wednesday, for receiver for the company and an injunction restrain ing it from disposing of any of its property pending his action. The justice allowed the counsel interested until today to submit briefs.
 The controversy over the mines of the company has extended over a pc riod of two years, principally in Ari- zona, and the present suit is an at tempt on the part of MT. Hallenborg to get a hearing in the New York courts.
 Mir. Greene, one of the defendants in the present suit, was in New York on May 2S last, and personal service of the summons and complaint in an application for an injunction was made upon him at that time, not only in his individual capacity, but as president of the Greene Consolidated Copper Company, the Cananea Con solidated Copper Company and the Cobre Grande Copper Company. Since that time strenuous efforts have been made by his counsel, NJ. E. Harby, to have the case dismissed on the ground of want of jurisdiction, and that the controversy should be remitted to Arizona. A motion to that effect was recently denied.
 The supreme court, having held that it had jurisdiction, the motion for an injunction was pressed by Mir. Atwater of Atwater & Cruikshank, representing MT. Hallenborg, and the court refused to grant the further ad- journment asked for by the defend ants. Upon the argument counsel for MT. Hallenborg stated that the plaintiff was the largest creditor and one of the largest stockholders of the Cobre Grande Company, holding 5000 shares of its stock and having advanced over S40,OOO to aid it in it's litigations.
 He denounced the proceedings of Mir. Greene and his associates as in iquitous, and charged that they, while directors of the Cobre Grande Copper company, had forcibly siezed its mines in the Cananea mountains in Sonora, Mexico, and fraudently turned them over to the Greene Con solidated Copper Company; that suits having been brought by the Cobre Grande Copper Company in Arizona, New York and elsewhere for the re- covery of this property, MT. Greene had become alarmed, and in Decem Der last had made an agreement in writing with the stockholders and officers of the Cobre Grande Copper Company to get control of that cor poration.
 By this agreement it is claimed that MT. Greene and the Greene Con solidated Copper Company were to pay large sums to the president, off cers and attorneys of the Cobre Grande Copper Company in Arizona, in consideration of which the pro ceedings then pending for the recov- cry of the property of the company from Greene and his associates were to be discontinued.
 Counsel denounced this as an in iquitous scheme, amounting to bribery of the officers of the Cobre Grande Copper Company, and as substantial ly a "steal" of the Mexican mines, which are stated to have a value at from S5,OOO,0OO to S20,OO0,O0O.
