THOMAS F. WALSH WINS.
Thompson Doesn't Get . Half Interest
in the Camp Bird Mines.


Judge Plat, In the United States Circuit
Court, yesterday dismissed the suit Of
John A. Thompson, a Western mining
man, for a half interest in the Camp Bird
mines, in Ouray county. Colorado. Thomas
F. Walsh, the Colorado mining man, was
the defendant.
The papers show that Walsh and Thomp-
son were associated ten years ago In one or
two Colorado mining enterprises. They
were together when Walsh staked out the
Orc Cache and Gertrude claims. which
later made Walsh a rich man. Thompson
averred that under an oral agreement
Walsh and he were equal partners in those
properties; but it was shown that Walsh
always worked alone and that Thompson
never considered that he had grievance
against Walsh until four years after the
mining properties had been staked out.
Then he put in claim for q half interest in
the mines.
Judge Plat said that Thompson's suit
was without the shadow Of q foundation
