San Francisco. Cal.-Thc United
States Circuit Court has rendered n
decision that IL Of vital importance to
all mining communities, and which
Will have direct bearing In cases
pending In many states.
The court holds that n 'grubstake"
agreement. that timehonorod institu-
tion sacred TO all mining men. is not
legally eollcctiblc.
The decision Is made In case
wherein "Swlftwnter Bill' Gates was
sued by Isaac l.. Marks of this city
10 recover sl50.O00 on an agreement
made by Marks and Gates in Seattle
on April 27, 1902.
The agreement was that In consider.
alton Of 81 600 paid by Marks 10 Gates
the latter was TO transfer twenty per
cent Of all the property which should
be- acquired either by location. pur.
chase or otherwise In Alaska by
Gates.
The evidence showed that Gates
owed Marks 81 225. which was wiped
out by Marks. and Gates was given
the sum Of 81 600 In cash when the
agreement was made.
Gates went TO Alaska and acquired
property valued ht 100000 out Of
which Marks demanded $4,000 as
his share under the agreement
A demurrer was entered on the
ground that the contract was SO un.
Just and inequitnblc MS not TO entltle
the applicant TO relief Tho demurrer
was sustained and the case dlsmisscd
An appeal wns then taken.
Judge Gilbert IN his decision states
that the written contract was n bar
rnln made In the dark. II bound Gates
during his lifetime TO transfer TO
Marks onc,iifth interest In all property
~ whatever description he might hr.
quiro In Alaska by whatever means.
whether by location. purchase. gift or
inheritance. the value Of which neither
party could estimate even approx.
mntoly.
Judge Gilbert quotes Justice Bradley
Of Missouri In n ease of "a somewhat
clmilar nature. where the court says
"llo comes into court with very
bad grace when he asks 10 use iia oa.
traordlnnry power 10 put him In pos.

which he only paid $50. The court m

Standard OIL Fined s1,eoo, 900.

Washington.-The decision of a
Texas jury, tining the Waters Pierce
oll company over million and half
dollars for its violations of the anti.
trust law and cancelling ITS permit to
do business in the state, is considered
here such severe blow t. the Stand
ard Oil trust that it may force the
corporation to dissolve before the fed
eral governments cases against 1t can
bt heard.
The action is one of deep Signifi.
cance. 1t comes at n time when the
Supreme Court of Missouri has before
1t the report of its special commits
sioner, which finds that :he same Wa
ters-Pierce Oil Company has been VIC.
lating the antitrust law of that state
and recommends that its permit be
cancelled.
Although there has been very little
doubt as TO the action the Missouri Su.
preme Court will take, 1t is believed
the Texas decision will prompt quicker
action.
The oil trust is treadlnS perfect
labyrinth of legal prosecutions Ohio,
Texas and Missouri have attacked II
under state antitrust laws. The fed
eral government is prosecuting It un-
der the Elkins rebate law of Illinois,
Tennessee, Missouri and New York.
1t has been found guilty in Chicago
and is now awaiting the infiction Of
sentence by Judge Lands. Under the
law the minimum fines must reach
sl.50O.OOO. If the limit is imposed the
Standard will have to pay S29,OO0,000.
The circuit judges of the Eighth cir
o'"' have just heard arguments on the
demurrer of the Standard oil to the
Ssvernments bill, asking for dissolu.
ton. An early decision is expected,
The court will then appoint commits
sloner to take testimony. The depart
ment Of justice will use its best en-,
deavor TO bring the case to a speedy
conclusion.
In Ohio the state authorities are
pushing the oil trust in civil and crimi-
nal proceedings. The Circuit Court
has Just given black eye TO the trust
by ruling that the Circuit Court of
Hancock county. which fined the Stan
dard $4,000. had jurisdiction. The
question will be fought out in the Su'
preme Court.

Rather BOT in Jail.

Colorado Springs.-"Ill stay In Jail
until | rot before | tell them where
the books are, unless they pay me
what Is due me first" declares Miss
Exine Il. Fuller. young, handsome and
determined. now confined in jail for
contempt Of court for refusal 10 give
up the books of mining company Of
which she has been secretary
She was brought into court because
she refused to surrender the books Of
the Mary Murphy Mining Company,
which she acknowledged to be in her
possession. Miss Fuller is bookkeepcr
at the Hayman market. II South TETON
street, and was employed TO keep
books for the mining company during
her spare time. Edward Jones. secre-
tary Of the company, alleges that he
demanded the books but when he en-
deavored to get them he found them
missing.
Miss Fuller claims about SEQ salary
for work done on the books. When the
mining company demurred TO immedi-
ate payment of this sum. Miss Fuller
Is A.leyed to have informed the officers
that as long as payment was deferred
Just so long would they seek in vain
for the books. She admits that their
whereabouts is known TO her and TO
her only.
The matter got into the courts when
Jones had issued from Justice Ruby a
writ OF replevin demanding the books
from Miss Fuller. when the writ was
served on Miss Fuller at the Hayman
market by Constable W. =. Orrabee,
she read the document. looked at the
constable and decided that II would
take more than the strong arm OF the
law 10 force her TO reveal the hiding
place Of the books until the SEQ was
forthcoming. She refused 10 turn them
over as ordered in the writ
Accordingly n warrant for her arrest
was issued and she was brought into
court for explanation. She explained.
All there was TO II was that she
wanted the salary, and until the salary
was paid the books would not be
found. jail or no Jail. Neither court
nor counsel could persuade Miss Fuller
to give up the books demanded by the
mining company. and with head erect
aud n look of determination on her
c0untenance she heard the sentence OF
the court that she be incarcerated in
Jail until she would turn over the books
Of the Mary Murphy Mining Company.
