Butler of $4,000 aud $4,000 addi-

LauRhlin, In his complaint, alleges
that Butler, through fraud and mis-

He says Butler knew at the time

that II was n paying pr oposition.
After this the Weatherby Mining
company became inslovent aud wa,

AGAINST THE
COLUMBIA

Another chapter has been written In
the sensational suit Of Harry T Hen
dryx, successor to the Geisei Il Hendryx x
Inve ,tment company, against the Col
umbia Gold Mining company and
Frank Bsillie, general manager there
Of. The suit wolves possession Of
the celebrated Tabor Fraction. In
the circuit court at Baker City yes
terday, Judge Sam White answered
the prayer Of the plaintiff and issued
a temporary injunction against the
Columbia company, restraining 1t
from mining and milling any more
ore from the Tabor Fraction until
further orders from the court.
The Injunction is the outgrowth Of
a suit recently instituted by Mr..
Hendryx, praying for an abrURation
Of contract with the Columbia com
Lany, relative to operation Of the
Tabor Fraction, and demanding an
accounting of ores extracted and
treated therefrom by the defendant
company. The original complaint
set out that the Geiser Hendryx In.
vestment company had entered into
an agreement with the Columbia Gold
Mining company, by the terms Of
which the latter was given authority
to mine and mill all ores from the
lower levels OF the Tabor Fraction on
a royalty basis. The plaintiff alleged
that since the signing of this contract
and agreement the defendant company
has mined and milled ores to the
value Ut approximately $50, 900, and
that no accounting hss been made
thereof. Judgment In abrogation
OF this contract. aud ordering an
WAS prayed for, and
during the tendency OF the suit an
injunction was asked.
The hnal outcome Of the case 10
watched with considerable interest by
the mining fraternity Of this camp.
Manager Baiilie, Vt the Columbia,
passed throuh Sumpter this afternoon
on his way to Baker City. When
asked by a Miner man II he had any.
thing to say regarding this injunc'
tiou. he pulled out the papers served
on him yesterday. with the remark:
"That tells the story, We have shut
down everything at the Columbia aud
will wait for the conclusion OF this
series OF litigation. "
The language Of the injunction Is
until further orders Of the court"
Mr.. Baillie said that his company
will do nothing to hasten the court
TO issue any additional order, ap-
psrently implying that a waiting
game would suit him rs we'll rs any
other.

cost Of TubercuIosis.

DR.. Harmon Biggs Of New York
(American Medicine), after a careful
estimation, places the annual expense
OF tuberculosis to the people Of the
United States at 1896. 0O0, 100000. He
first calculates the loss to New York
city by putting value OF $500 upon
each life at the average al which
deaths from tuberculosis occur. This
gives a total value OF the lives lost
annually Of 1880. 100000
But this is not all. For at least nine
months prior to death these patio nts
cannot work, and the loss OF service
at one dollar a day, together with food,
nursing, medicines. attendance. &c.
at one and one-half dollars day, re-
suits In a further loss OF sS.000,00O.0O,
making a yearly loss to the plunici-
patty of 81. O0O, 10000 For the whole
country the 10000 deaths from tuber-
culosis represent in the same way a
loss of $3.50 900 10000.
DR.. Biggs also states that the total
expenditure in the city of New York
for the care of tuberculou5 patients is
not at present over s5O0.0000 90 a year;
that is, it does NOT exceed two per cent
of the actual loss by death. etc. II
this annual expenditure were doubled
or trebIed it would mean saving OF
several thousand lives annually, to say
nothing of the enormous saving in SUI
fering.' Further evidence of this is
afforded by the fact that in the last
twenty years the total number OF
deaths from tuberculosis in New York
has decreased instead OF increasing.
although there has been an increase
Of 10 per cent in the general popula-
ton.

tuberculosis Rightly cIassed.

The Health department OF the city OF
Philadelphia has decided that in future
tuberculosis shall be classed with
other diseases that are dangerous to
the public health. such as smallpox,
diphtheria. scarlet fever. and other
contagious maladies. The law in
Pennsylvania and most other States of
the Union requires that every case Of
contagious disease shall be reported
to the Health department. Hereafter
all cases of tuberculosis must be so
reported by the attending physician.
The purpose Of this law is to enable
the Health department to take neces-
sary steps to prevent the extension of
this disease by disinfection Of the
apartments whicS have been occupied
