bids fair to assume large and
| warm proportions. Il bids fair
to be Of vast interest to the world
generally, and Of course, Of cor
responding comfort and benefit
to the fortunate holders Of cop
per properties and stocks. Salt
Lake Tribune, January Is.
The reported deal of great di.
mensiou5 touching the option on
the control Of the Nevada Con,
solidated, at Ely, by the Gug-
genheim people, has created no
end OF interest and speculation
in this city, where there are
many who haYe held on to their
Nevada Consolidated stock which
they purchased at u good figure
from the present standpoint of
the market While there re-
mains the slightest doubt in
many circles as TO the price to be
paid for the control, many who
are acquainted with the property
do not question that it would
take d large sum to secure the
control of this great property.
The real worth Of the Nevada
Consolidated is better apprecia-
ted, perhaps, in this city than
| elsewhere outside of the camp of
Ely, owing to the large number
Of people who have recently
visited the mines.
Many have gone to Ely to in
spect what was termed and what
they considered a mere prospect.
The result of their observations
has been fairly paralyzing-in-
stead Of prospect they found a
genuine mine and mine of tre-
fnendous proportions. They also
found that the grounds of the
company we're q veritable hot
bed of activity and business.
Persons returning from Boston
unanimously agree that the news
Of the Nevada Consolidated has
reached that city as we'll; the
stock is favorite on the Boston
market, and indications point to
the fact that the stock will be
come one of the most sought
after on the market of thai cop
per center.
The properties of the Nevada
Consolidated include some OF the
most choice mineral bearing
ground in the district, the com
pany owning about 1000 acres at
the present time, having contin-
ually been adding to its posses
sions for some time past. Quietly
and without much show, except
from what leaked out through
visitors, the work has been prog
ressing, and it is thought by
those familiar with the property
that between 1000, GOO and 5000
600 tons of copper ore have been
blocked out. This ore is all
high grade concentrating ore,
and indications are now favOra-
bic to much sooner inaugura-
| tion Of ore extraction than IS
generally supposed.
The Nevada Consolidated com
| pany is rapidly assembling the
| means for production. 1t being
thought that the coming summer
will find everythingin readiness.
It may be later than summer, but
not much so. Oyer twenty five
miles Of the railroad is practi-
cally completed, leaving over
100 vet to be finished. Salt Lake

CLAIM AGAINST GOVERNMENT.
Calais Tanning Co. Wants Uncle Sam
to Pay Smuggling Trial Expenses.

Portland. Me-. July 27.-As a supple
ment to the famous Johnson wool
smuggling case which was thrashed out
in the United States court at Bangor
in June and which was attended by
many sensational features, the defen-
dant, the Calais Tanning Co., or rather
j. NJ. Johnson, mayor Of Calais, who IS
the Calais Tanning Co., has put in a
claim against the government for eX-
penses entailed during the Bangor tri-
al and other charges incidental to the
Selling and holding of the wool and
skins. The case was heard before Judge
Hale in the United States court in this
city yesterday afternoon and after a
hearing which occupied the entire af-
ternoOn he reserved his decision.
A feature of the hearing was the ap-
pearance Of Guy Mnrchie. the famous
Harvard ex-football player. and Roose-
Welt Rough Rider. who appeared as coun-
sci for the defence. 1t was also 4 coin
cidence that his opponent was United
States District Attorney Whitehouse.
who was in college with Murchie.
The original case came to trial in Ban
EOT dIltT Il u5tIt lidu StiLtu
Sc sacks of wool and 1914 shcepskins val
ucd ut $4,000, claiming that these things
had been smuggled. The goods were
claimed by the Calais Tanning Co, and
on trial a verdict was returned for the
defendant. The supplement to the case
came before Judge Hale yesterday on a
motion by the United States attorney
that n certificate of reasonable cause be
made and entered under r. l.. L. s.. $40.
The legal effect of the motion is that
if it should be denied by the court the
United States government would be liza
bic for the costs. That is. If 1t were
proven that the agent OF the government
hadn't probable cause in Selling the goods
the defendant company had a right to
costs. a decision in their favor leaving
them an opening to bring n civil suit
for trespass.
