MERGER is LEGAL.
Minnesota Judge Says Law Has Not
Been Broken.


81. Paul, Aug. 3.-Judge Lochren in
the United States circuit court has
handed down his decision in the state
OF Minnesota against the Northern Sc
curities company, the Great Northern
railway, the Northern Pacific Railway
company and J. J. Hill, as president of
the Northern Securities company, and
individually, in which he sustained the
contentious of the defendants and dis
missed the bill of complaint of the
state. He finds that the Northern Sc
curities company has not violated the
state laws forbidding the consolidation
OF parallel and competing lines of rail-
road through its ownership of stock in
the Great Northern and Northern Pa
cffic railways. He refuses the iniunc-
tons asked by the state of Minnesota
to restrain the securities company
from voting the stock of the two roads
or either of them.
This decision affects the results of
the federal governments victory in the
circuit court in no way whatever. The
federal suit involved the same defend.
ants and the same general state of
facts, but was based on totally differ
ent contention of law.
The federal suit in which the securi.
Ties company was beaten was a prose-
cution for violation of the Sherman an
thrust law, passed by the federal con-
gress.
The state suit, in which the securi.
ties company wins, was based on an
allegation that the defendants violated
acts of the Minnesota legislature. for
Bidding the consolidation of parallel
and competing lines of railway.
The hearing of the state sniff was
begun Friday, June S, before Judge
Loch.en in the 'c1eral circuit court
IL followed the submission of much
testimony by both sides for many
months, in which Frederick G. Inger-
soil Of this city acted as referee. The
maj argument lasted five days, in
which Attorney Douglas, former Attor.
ney General George B. Wilson and At
torney M. D. Mum spoke for the state
and George B. Young, M. D. Grover
and Q. w. Bum for the defendants
Inc case was submitted Wednesday
June 10. An appeal to the United
States supreme court is now pendinq
in the federal suit.

BRITISH COLUMBIA MINES.

Last week the B. G. mine, in Summit
camp, shipped its last ore for the
present and the Orc Denoro, which re-
Gently resumed shipping after three
years idleness, is gradually increasing
the output of ore.
Frank Holton, representing Montreal
and Boston capital, was in Kaslo re-
Gently with A. Hamilton and P. H. Muir
ply, negotiating for the Lucky Jack
group of mining claims on Poplar
creek The price offered is $4,000,
one-third cash. 1t is understood that
one of the four partners is holding out
for $150,00O.
The annual meeting of the Rambler
Cariboo Mining company was held in
Kaslo last week. 1t was an enthusias-
tic gathering of those interested. The
managers report was satisfactory in
respect to present conditions at the
mines. The last two months ship
ments were particularly encouraging,
over $4,000 worth of ore having been
sent to the smelter. The benefit from
the lead bonus will run from 81 500 to
$4,000 per month. Zinc products will
be held for better market conditions.
Marked activity is being displayed in
the west end of the Rossland camp.
At the White Bear mine a grading
crew is at work on the spur from the
Spokane Falls & Northern main line to
the White Bear ore bins, while con-
struction is being actively pushed on
the new compressor building and as
say office. The LIE Roi No. 2 concen-
traitor is being constructed in a series
of attached buildings. FIVE in number,
and all but the first or upper section
are complete so far as the buildings
are concerned. At the I. X. L. mine
development and stopping work is stead
lily under way. One lot of 40 tons of
ore has been shipped to the Northport
smelter.
r. Roscoe Leslie has resigned the
superintendency of the LIE Roi mine,
to which he was appointed year ago
by John H. Mackenzie. He is sue
ceeded by Robert H. Anderson, present
manager Of the B. c. and Orc Denoro
takes effect September 1.
Predictions that the LIE Roi company
of Rossland must be reorganized are
freely made in London. The stock has
been slumping alarmingly since the
publication Of Manager s. F. Parrishs
monthly reports has been suspended.
The 95 shares are now down to
Ell 1-16, as against e91s, which was
the prevailing price this time two
years ago.
John Y. Cole, well known Rossland
mining man, claims to have made an
exceptionally lucky strike in the Pop
lar creek camp. He went in three
weeks ago and after careful search OF
records discovered that the ground i'm
mediately adjoining the famous Lucky
Jack property was vacant. Thereupon
he planted his stakes and recorded it.
There no longer can be any reasona-

near Ferguson. 1t now appears that
not alone did the recent assay prove
the existence of the mineral, but it can
be easily demonstrated by ordinary
washing with the gold pan.
