Baggs Got the Money.

In the suit of Henry McVey and
Lincoln H. Johnson against the Mon
tana Ore Purchasing Co. to recover a
balance alleged to be due for lumber
the defendant on Thursday filed an
swer 10 the complaint. The M. o. p.
Co. denies that it ever bought any
lumber from plaintiffs but alleges
that on the contrary said lumber was
purchased of one Geo. T. Baggs of
Stevensville, who notified the defend
ant that the lumber would be billed
by McVey & johnson of Victor and
that it had no knowledge of any con-
tract entered into between Geo. Z.

Baggs and McVey & johnson. The
defendant further alleges that all
lumber received from McVey & John
son was received as the lumber of
Geo. T. Baggs under and pursuant to
the contract between the defendant
and Baggs and that all payments were
made either to Baggs or subject to his
order. The answer recites further
that during January, 1908, defendant
received 289. 1852 feet of lumber at the
agreed price of $50 per thousand,
amounting to $2,2s5.SS, of which
amount $500 was paid Baggs and
81, ,42s.8S was paid Mcvey & Johnson,
subject to the instructions Of Baggs.
In conclusion the defendant declares
that the agreement to purchase lum.
ber was a personal contract with
Geo. 7. Baggs and was not under
stood to be assignable and hence they
have no knowledge of the plaintiffs as
parties to the contract. In answer to
the second cause of action defendant
admits that it received during the
months Of April, May and June, 1908,
lumber to the value of $826.14, which
sum is now due and payable to Geo.
T. Baggs and which sum defendant is
now prepared and at all times has
been prepared to pay Baggs or any
person presenting Baggs written
order for the same.

 That Section. CAMP CREEK GOOD Good Prospects Are Alleged to
 Have Been Found on
 Several Claims.
CARP CREEK GOOD

Mike Dowd, recorder for Norton bay district, writes Manager Zipf, of the N. c. Co.,, under date of Dec. ?, that no de- velopment work had been done on the Tubuktolik creeks since last August. On Camp creek, however, men were building cabins and getting in supplies, but nothing more than prospects had been found.
 Mir. Zipf also says that the men who came to Chinik from the Tubuktolik for supplies. paid for them in checbakc money, and not in golddust, as inadver- tently stated in these columns
 George H. Webber has received . letter from Ed Lambert, whom he talked last summer, to the effect that Camp creek is good. Lambert located four claims on the creek. Just prior to tho close of navigation Mr. Webber sent John s. Fraser down to the Tubuk- tolik to assist. Lambert. They sank four holes and found pay in each. Ths work of sinking, however, was greatly retarded on account of water.
 A letter received by THE NUGGET from Boulder creek, on the Tubuktolik, states that probably 40 or 50 men are wintering on that river and it's tribu- taries, but little prospecting had been done, nor had any big prospects been found. With the beginning of January, however, it was expected that prospect ing would begin in earnest, and good results were anticipated on Camp, Boulder and other creeks. sf
