A MINING co: ATTACKED
Stakeholder Plaintiffs Make Serious
- Charges Against the Hunter
:: . Creek Mining Company. -. :. :.
sAa~-Sa-1lAA-*

I.fr !
If the allegations Of complaint pre-
pared by Judge Thomas CAVITY are proved
in court, sthee Hunter" Creek, mining and
Milling company, with headquarters. in
this city, has been one of the most Glucra-
tive of the get-rich- quick schemes now
doing business. The plaintiffs are alleged
losers In this city and over the state, and
the amount of damages asked for is $780,
600. >-:s.--.~ :s' Az -" 80: - ,',.'
:; The defendant company was organized
in 1901, and with an option on two copper
claims ON Hunters creek in Stevens
county, Washington, O.SA. Redfeld start
edsin. to exploit the property: The other
incorporators were w. p. Mcdonald, Mrs.
M. L: Brain, j." W.. Macmillan and John
Monahan. The company was Incorporated
for S1,000,000 shares at 81 per share, - !:
According to the complaint, the officers
entered into corrupt agreement to de-
fraud the stockholders, and Mrs. Brain, a
lady of charming address; acting as treas
urer, is said to have been responsible for
the majority of the sales and to have
manipulated the funds to the aggrandize-
ment Of herself and her co-workers. Thou
sands Of shares are said to have been sold
all over this part Of the country. 1t is
alleged that sales were largely to the
poorer classes, while the promoters Of the
enterprise carefully steered clear Of mon
eyed interests and those likely to investi-
gaze the property UelOfe buying SLOCk.
About a year ago Thomas James, a we'll
known mining expert, visited the Hunter
creek country and incidentally investigat-
ed the claims of the Hunter Creek Mining
and Milling company and found, so it is
alleged, that they were nothing but the
proverbial' ''hole in the ground This
news was brought back to the Minneapolis
stockholders, an investigation started,
which has resulted in the bringing Of the
present suit. '.--. go q r. ...-,:.-.

auto VERSUS BIKE.
Use Of Cycle Paths by Automobiles
Calls Forth Protest by
Wheelmen.
An Effort Will Be Made Also to Set
tie Status Of the Motor
Cycle.

The motor cycist will soon find new
Richmond in the field. The regular wheel
men Of Minneapolis are getting into line
to give him a rub. An agitation has been
started, the result Of which it is hoped will
be direct definition by city ordinance of
the rights Of the motorcycle as against
the bicycle. b A great deal of complaint
has been heard recently of the running
Of motor cycles on the cycle paths and Of
the frequent use of the paths by the own
ers Of automobiles. In the bad weather,
while streets have been so muddy many
automobiles have been seen taking the
paths to avoid bad places. The wheelmen
have been watching this with anxious
eyes. No harm has been. done as yet
but in a few weeks more the bicycling sea-
son will be open and the paths will be used
by thousands of men, women and child
rem. Many Wheelmen fear that bad ac-
cident will surely result unless, the in
discriminate use of the paths Is stopped.
The automobiles it is argued are getting
into the habit of taking to the paths
whenever there is bad place ahead. This
they will naturally continue to do since
they have neVer-been stopped. It is time.
the wheelmen believe to head them off
and at the same time also to force some
definition of the status of the man with
the motorcycle: 49,: 49, 49,
The matter has been widely discussed
the first step in the matter was taken
when a petition to the city council was
started Saturday at the Chamber of Com
merce. The petition reads as follows;
"To the Honorable City Council: of the
City of Minneapolis: The undersigned
bicycle riders OF the city Of Minneapolis
believe that on account Of the speed, size,
and distracting noise, ond the disastrous
results in case Of accident which are SO
frequently noted in the operation of We
hicles propelled by other than human
power, the safety Of the public re-
quires that the bicycle paths be reserved
for the use Of those who propel their
vehicles by human power only.
I'VE therefore petition your honorable
body to enact such ordinances as may be
expedient to bring about this result"
The petition was well signed and almost
exclusively by the older and more con-
sentative class Of wheelmen,t the names
including John Peacock, Jacob Stone
James Everington, George Barwise Jr,
| George A. Devgneaud, F.. M Norton. c.
G. Wyman, A. M. Woodward. w. A. Free

the victims Of a mysterious triple trag-

company with a great deal of surprise. 1t
is stated that Mr.. Betty has always borne

HIGH GRADE HOUSES
Many New Elevators in the Country
Are to Be Fire
$50 Proof.
Minneapolis Builders Will Do Much
Work in Canada This
... Season.

Minneapolis elevator builders report an
outlook for large; amount of work the
coming season, says the Comm ercial west.
Considerable new business is expected in
northwestern Canada, but builders say il
requires more time to do work there than
in the. states, where material is more
abundant and railroad facilities better.
In the building of terminal elevators
there was a Well-detined tendency three
years ago toward fireproof construction,
and the day of the wooden terminal is
past. In the older PARTS of the northwest,
the ,fireproof- construction era has reached
the country. also. This is particularly so
with The country mills that require con-
siderable storage capacity. OF course
wooden houses will be built as long as
they are cheaper than brick, tile or steel
and where small capacity only is needed
But there will be more fireproof elevators
built in the country the coming season
than ever before.
