the idea of finding out how mulch orc the
Heinze people may have been taking from
that mine.
The work OF inspection lasted for most
OF the day, and If necessary the men who
are making it will be allowed to go down
the shaft tomorrow and any other day they
may need to.
1t was just about 10 minutes before 10
o'clock when United States Marshal c. i.
Lloyd and one ri his deputies, L. d. Elder
kin, arrived at the Rarus mine. They
drove up as far as the horse could take
them. They were the first on the ground.
The order OF Judge Beatty had required
the marshal to be OH hand at the Rarus
shaft at 10 o'clock on. the morning of
December -, to see that the directions of
the court i'll the matter of the inspection
were carried out.

Those directions were that +. Aug.

Arriving at the place, the marshal and
his deputy went into the office. Nick Ire

ing company around at the time.
Nothing was said about the object of the
marshafs visit 1t wasn't necessary, as the
| newspapers had published so much about
| the matter that everybody must have
| known what the official representative of
| the United States government was there
| for. A few minutes later the party OF
engineers and surveyors who were to make
| the inspection arrived. They were accom-
| panied by three miners, whose services
might be needed in removing bukheads or
| rubbish. 1t was still a few minutes to
the hour of TO- and still none Of those
| mentioned by name in the order of Judge
Beatty were on the scene.
The Inspectors.
| The inspection party consisted of George

sylvania mine; II. V. Winchell, engineer
X. S. Sales, engineer; Lloyd Gage, sur
veyor; Ed Finnegan, shift boss at the
Silver Bow, and the three miners who were
to do the work required OF them in the
way OF removing distractions.
Ten o'clock came and still none OF the
parties named in the order were on the
ground. Then Marshal Lloyd, his deputy
and the party OF inspection walked to the
shafthouse. Foreman Nick Treloar was
there. The marshal stated the purpose of
the visit. The foreman said he had no
authority and no orders to lower the
party.
Reads Court Order.
His authority extended to the under
ground workings only.
Marshal Lloyd took out copy of the
courts order and read it. 1t was directed,
as already stated. to Heinze, Frank, Ire
loar and the two companies represented by
them, and the agents OF those companies.
1t was quite evident that the foreman
was in "A quandary as to what to do. 1t
looked like case of getting into trouble
with the government il he didn't let the
party down, and getting into trouble with
his employers If he did let the party down

me in this matter he said to the marshal
These other men we're directed to be
here and lower these people. My under
standing was that these gentlemen were
to go down the shaft, but they gave INC
no orders to that effect
BY this time the party had moved bacl
into the Office and the marshal was consid

Engineer Frank and Superintendent Ire
rise came in. They had driven up th
hill, and arrived at the Office just nin'
minutes after 10. They were there to carr
out Judge Beatty's order, That was evi

party did not have to make any change O

had come prepared.
F. A. Henze Arrives.
While Marshal Lloyd and Deputy Elder

minutes after the time set, but explane
his lateness thus: my horse slipped.
In the Office he exchanged greetings wit
the marshal and some OF the inspection
party Then there was a short wait, as
somebody was waiting for somebody els
