ages From Goal Concern
IN COURT AT NOVA SCOTIA
Plaintiff Claims Violation of Contract
to Furnish Fuel Suitable for
Making Steel.

Halifax, n. S. w. Sept. 17.-Justice
Longley of the supreme court of Nova
Scotia last night awarded the Domi l.
Jon Iron and Steel company judgment
against the Dominion coal company fo'
$15,000,000 as damages for breach Of
contract in not supplying coal suitable
for metallurgical purposes. Justica
LOnglcy, in concluding a lengthy judg-
ment, says:
i think, as a matter of law. that
the contract on its face is a contract
to supply coal to the steel company
for the purpose of operating an iron
and steel plant. | do not have to read
into it any implications; | only have
to make the necessary and inevitable
deduction that coal to operate an iron
and steel plant must be coal with
which such a plant can be operated.
for the object and purpose of the coal
contracted for is expressly stated in
the contract
Coal With stone In II.
Between Nov. l and the coll
company furnished large quantities of
coal not reasonably free from stone
and shale, and incapable of operating
an iron and steel plant, and. while
they were mining plenty of coal fit for
such purposes, they failed to furnish
sufficient quantity of such coal TO
meet the requirements of the contract.
THE coal company thereby commit
! ted a breach of the contract and is re-
| sponsible to the steel company for all
the loss and damages which resulted
| from this breach.
Contract Stni Holds.
81 think the contract is still in Opec
alton and in my judgment the best
/ indeed. the only true remedy in this
case is the issuing of a decree requir
/ ing the coal company to perform the
! terms of the agreement. | am not un
aware of the difficulties which such &
course might possibly involve; but
think the court has ample power e
enforce such a decree by the appoint
ment of a receiver. if any attempt wa:
made to evade performance"

Hayden, Stone Market
Letter Advises Taking
On of These Stocks.
MARKET IS SENSITIVE
Due 10 Cash Stock Buying Rule-.-
Firm Looks For Tension In
Money to Last Through Year.

Hayden, Stone & Co. say in their
weekly market letter: This year S
decline in stocks may be directly
traced to two controlling factors, lack
of money and lack of confidence. The
latter defect has reached its most
acute stage and should gradually dis
appear. The tension in money, how
ever, is still very great and promises
to remain SO for the balance of the
year. The withdrawal and boarding
of tremendous sums by small deposit
tors plays the very mischief with our
whole business structure. Our en-
tire system of business credits is
founded on currency and the with
drawal of one dollar from circulation
means the destruction of four dollars
of credit. This can be only partially
counterbalanced by government de-
posits, the importations of gold and
the use of clearing house certificates.
At the best these are only emergen-
cy measures and cannot have last
ing effect. They mean simply the
creation of debts which must be paid
at later date. 1t will be recalled
that at the time of the panic last
March, when the secretary of the
treasury used similar measures, the
downward cou Sc of prices was stay
ed for the moment, but the recur-
renee of liquidation in August which
carried them still lower, could not
be prevented. How sensitive the
whole money situation has become is
well shown by the marking up of the
discount rate of the banks of Ger
many and of England a full 1 per
cent because of our importation of
$50, 100000 in gold.
This same scarcity of money has
forced the banking houses to adopt
a general rule to buy stocks for cash
only. This rule, of course, will make
the market extremely sensitive while
it remains in force, for it severely
curtails the buying power of those
who would ordinarily be able to give
good support on forced liquidation.
1t has already resulted in bad breaks
in such stocks as Pennsylvania, New
York Central, Telephone and Swift
Packing. While this rule holds, vie
are apt to see such breaks at any
time. Under these conditions, we
should deem it wise policy to stick
pretty closely to coppers 1t takes
much less money to buy outright a
good copper stock than it does a
good railroad stock; there should,
therefore, be less nervousness among
the coppers than among the rail-
roads.
1t was two weeks ago that we eX-
pressed the opinion that the market
in general was at or near the bottom
and that the best stocks should be
purchased for cash or on very strong
protection. We still maintain this
position, but it should be noted that
this advice applies to the investor or
one operating for long pull, rather
than to the ordinary Spectator. The
time is not yet ripe for active small
profit trading and any attempt at
this sort of speculation would only
defeat it's own ends.

NEVADA LEAD
BIG MINE
Continued from page one.)

lead ores are the ones in greatest de-
mand at the smelters and the only
kind that command a premium.
S. f. Hunt and w. A. Leonard, of
Ely, with G. w. Neff, of Denver, made
a trip to the White Pine district last
July and were so favorably impressed
with the mining possibilities that
they located five claims which were
named the King Fraction, Buffalo,
Atlantic and Atlas. On their return
they interested A. B. Witcher and N.
H. Chaplin and increased the size OF
the group by purchasing the Siri
group of three claims, the Mary, Oc-
tober and Nevada No. 1, for cash.
About midway between the famous
McEllin mine on the north and the
-Homestake and Ne Plus Ultra
mines on the south, is located the
King patent on the same great ledge
of ,crystalized white lime wherein the
rich deposits of lead-silver ores are
found in all the properties mention
ed. The King was a producer many
years ago, the ores being smelted at
a stack built for the purpose about
three miles down King canyon from
the mine. The King Fraction and
Buffalo surround the King on the
east, west and north sides and as
the ledge in the King was worked up
to the north end line where a large
body of ore is exposed, the value of
the King Fraction is unquestionable.
An iron blowout on the King is
traceable across the Fraction on to
the Atlantic where it crops fully as
wide about 900 feet from the King
workings. Contacts between white
lime and porphyry and porphyry and
black lime where there are fine min
eral indications in the contacts, are
covered by the Alturas, Atlantic and
Atlas and considerable prospecting
on the surface has resulted in open
