SUITS ON WATER

SAYS TAlLINGS KILL THE FISH
Placer Company Asks Damages From
Ore Treating Mill Owners.

Denver.-lnvolving questions that
are of importance to mining men in
Colorado and elsewhere, a suit has
been instituted in the United States
Circuit Court by Gustave A. Schwab
of New York, trustee of the Keystone
Hydraulic Mining Company, against
the Smuggler-union, the Tomboy and
the Liberty Bell companies of San
Miguel county. Schwab seeks an in
junction restraining the defendants
from dumping tailings from their mills
into the north fork Of the San Miguel
river to the entire use of whose water
the plaintiff claims right for the com
pany which he represents. The debris.
1t is alleged, is carried by the stream
10 the Keystone placer claims and de-
stroys the entire value of the water
right and machinery of the company
to an amount not less than S300,00
According to the complaint, the
claims mentioned were originally
owned by the Keystone Hydraulic
Company, which gave a deed of mort
gage for the property to the American
Trust Company. Bonds were issued to
cover the mortgage 10 Schwab as trus-
tee of other stockholders. In 1906.
foreclosure proceedings were ins,itut-
ed In court and the property sold 10
Schwab. who was the highest bidder
and was still acting In the capacity of
trustee for the bondholders. The deed
of sale transferred to him included the
right of extensive use of the North
Fork stream, which runs on the side
of the mining claims and Is necessary
for placer mining. To secure further
benefit from the water and to keep
1t clear from dumpings. two reservoirs
were constructed under Schwab's su-
pervision at the upper part of tho
property. which store the water for
whole placer season. From these
run pipes and fumes. II is also stated
that the stockholders intend later on
TO establish an electric power plant
to supply surrounding districts. he
cause of the abundant means of gen
Grating power al their disposal.
Above the Keystone claims. tho
complaint states, the defendant com.
panies operate mills for the treatment
of ore. They are aware. II Ia said.
that silica and other waste matter is
disgorged from these into the North
Fork and carried to the Keystone
reservoirs. the very thing which the
plaintin has tried to avoid. The tail
ings dumped daily into the river, II
is alleged. reach 500 pounds In the
winter and 200 pounds the rest of
the year. There are now, according
TO the complaint. 5000 cubic yards
In the upper reservoir and 10000 cu.
bic yards In the lower one. Not only
does the debris ruin the value Of the
property nnd the use Of the hydraulic
machinery. the plaintin AYERS. but
makes II impossible To erect the clec-
lfic power plant which would have
brought in a considerable revenue.
That complaints made to the defend.
ants have been ignored is also
charged.

coLoRADo's PRODUCT DISPLAY.
Campaign of Publicity inausurated
That Will Boost the State.

Denver.-Colorado's great campaign
of publicity in-ugurated by the Colo,
RADIO State Commercial Association
will be given decided impetus in the
coming summer and fall months by the
sending out of big exhibit of the
products of the Centennial state to all
the larger state and county fairs Of
the Middle West. This will be done
under the auspices of the State Com.
mercial Association. Walter G. Bran
things Coloradan, will have charge Of
the exhibit.
In this movement to advertise Colo
RADIO and put her advantages before
the people of states less favored natur-
ally than Colorado, the State CONNER
cial Association is but following out
the plan inaugurated several years ago
and h.ch has been so eminen,ly sue
cessful since that time. The only diff,
ference in the plans this year will be
in the size of the exhibit sent out and
the number of fairs at which it will be
shown
Agricuiturists and horticulturists all
over the state, 10th in the irrigation
and dry farming belts, have been. or
are to be. given an opportunity to place
samples OF their products in the eX.
hibi,. All have been called upon for
| assistance in gathering this great dis
| play for Colorado and much interest Is
being taken IN the movement.
MIR Brandenburg, who has devoted
| many years of his life TO studying the
conditions. the crops and the products
of Colorado is AT present making a
| tour of the state, personally calling
upon those interested that he may Sc
cure as excellent a showing of prod.
ucts from each district rs possible.
Hays, grasses, grains. fruits and
roots will be well represented in their
great varieties. Alfalfa and ordinary
natural grasses will be gathered from
districts where land is under irriga
| tion and where dry farming is carried
on alike.
Fruits of all kinds, sugar beets, bar
| ley. wheat, field peas and all sorts OF
grains and roots will be shown in all
their varieties and perfection to tho
| people of the Middle West.
| This plan of interesting homcseek
ers In state by sending out samples
of the product of that state has been
found by experience to be one of the
best methods of giving publicity to the
CLANS OF the state In past years the
settlement of many homeSeekers in the
Centennial state can be traced directly
to the impression given b. the show NJ
of The exhibit of the Colorado State
| Commercial Association and the at
tending lectures at some fair. The dis
play of products naturally frouscl in
