NJ. 0. P. ORDER NOT ALLOWED

Butte. Mont, March 3f.-F. Augustus
Heinze. president OF the Montana ore
Purchasing company; A. /. Frank. SUI
perintendent Of the Johnstown, and j..
II. Trerise, superintendent of the Rarus
mine. today paid their fines for violat-
ing the order Of the federal court en-
joining Heinze and the Amalgamated
interests from mining the Michael Da-
Witt lode claim.
After much discussion and strong re-
Eistance on the part Of the Montana
Ore Purchasing company attorneys,
Judge Beatty. in the federal Gov . this
morning signed the order aske Tor by
the attorneys OF the Butte q Boston
company granting the Butte & Boston
g perpetual inspection of the workings
Of the Rarus and Johnstown claims.
Mr.. Denny. for the defendants, inter-
posed a plan to allow an inspection Of
these workings up 20 all bulkheads
and workings leading into the dis
puted ground. but Offering a plan
whereby the Montana Ore Purchasing
company would be allowed to inspect
ell Amalgamated properties.
Mr.. Forbis offered objections on the
ground that the Butte & Boston had
come into court and shown a violation
OF the Injunction, while the Montana
ore Purchasing company had not
shown any violation on the part Of his
clients. and therefore should state spe-
cific workings and grounds for an in
5pection.
The court announced that if he was
in possession Of facts sufficient TO base
an order upon he might sign one for the
Montana ore Purchasing company. but
thought it better to state the points
raised TO Judge Knowles and have him
make an order as he would have the
time TO do it.
In the contempt matters decided yes
teTday I'm the federal court by Judge
Beatty in which F. Augustus Heinze
was fined 1000. Alfred Frank and ).
II. Trerise 81 900 each, Heinze was con-
yicted upon only two counts In the
third count Judge Beatty said he would
not find him guilty because Heinze
might not have known that Trerise was
mining in the Michael Davitt ground
and thus violating that injunction.
The fines inflicted were in count No.
20. In the other two counts the court
suspended judgment.
