Suit Filed
In u. S. Court

Charles Long, a TonOpah miner,
yesterday filed suit in the United
States court here for damages in the
sum of $4,000 against the Tonopah
Mining company. The suit was Ori-
ginally filed in the state court but
transferred to the federal court upon
petition of the defendant.
Long alleges that he was employed
as a miner at the Mizpah claim of
the company's property and last Ap-
III l3rd, while at work sustained in
iuries which it will take $4,000 to
heal He says in his complaint that
he was in the cage in the shaft and
the man in charge was decending
at a fast gait when the cage struck
the iron bars used as station at the
four hundred foot level. Long says
that he was thrown against an ore
car on the cage and sustained an
injured ankle and leg which kept him
from work for two weeks and will
cause him great inconvenience and
considerable expense for some time
to come.
