LEGAL BATTLE To
Be FOUGHT SOON
Prominent Lawyers Will Leave
Today for Minnesota TO
Argue Appeal.
CASE OF FARMERS
AGAINST SHELTERS
Arguments on Appeal Are
Scheduled for Next Wednes-
day and Thursday.

Within the next few days there is
to be battle royal fought out in the
United States Circuit Court Of Appeals
for the Eighth district. The setting
for the battle is ST. Paul, and while it
is legal in character, not involving
physical superiority, it will be one of
the hard-fought legal struggles of the
year, There are several million dol
lars worth Of property involved; three
great smelling companies will strive to
save three great smelters in the Salt
Lake valley. and al stake to a great
extent is the future mining industry
Of the State of Utah and surrounding
ore-contributory States.
The case to be argued is that of the
farmers against the United States
Smelling. Refining and Mining COM
pany, the Utah Consolidated and the
Bingham Consolidated companies. 1t
is the same case that was decided some
time ago by Judge Marshall Of the
United States Circuit court Of this city,
and by the same the farmers won
complete victory. The American Smelt-
Ing and Refining company was the
fourth defendant, but some time ago
tins organization made its peace with
the farmers, and 1t has made arrange
ments whereby 1t is TO smelt only lead
and dry ores at the Murray plant.
1t is also understood that the Amer
lean company will make certain alter
ations or additions 10 the Murray
plant which, it is claimed, will pre-
vent the injury to animals and to the
vegetation usually resultant from the
operations of such smelters. It is stat
ed, therefore, that this company does
not appear with It's former COMPANIONS
IN the appeal from Judge Marshall's
decision TO the higher court.
The appeal will come up for argu-
nent in st. Paul on the 22nd and 2Srt
OF the present month, Judge a. Howat
Is now at St. Paul, and Judge ". r.
Dickson, Judge John A. Street. and w.
Van Cott will leave today on the Over
land Limited for the scene of action.
Judges Howat and Dickson represent
the United States company; Judge
Street represents the Bingham Consol.
Idated; Mr.. Van Cott represents the
Utah Consolidated company. 1t is
thought that the case will be taken un.
der Amusement. and decision deferred
Tor three or four months, and then the
case. whichever way it goes. may be
taken on up to the United States Su.
preme court for final determination.
The ieHlslon rendered last winter by
Judge Marshall was not an unexpected
one by any means, it was the Que that
was feared By all the friends of the
smelting and mining industry. The
law, however, undoubtedly favors the
farmers. and the most optimistic of
smelling adherents can see little
chance for a favorable decision either
at ST Paul or Washington for the
'melters, There is likely to be a great
stirring up yet this year among the
smelling organizations, and practically
Ill companies affected are after or have
been after more congenial locations.

Considerable interest has been
aroused in local circles over the recent
developments within the deep workings
Of the Croesus property at Haley, Ida

Salt Lake interests centcrcd In that
faithful old mining section of the
State. ". &. Page, one Of the heavy
stockholders of the Croesus company,
returned Friday morning from an in
spection of this property, and when
seen by The Tribune yesterday was
very much pleased with the present
condition of the mine. although some.

The Croesus has been one of the most
active properties in that particular por-
tion of Idaho, the upper workings Civ
Ing forth gold and copper ores of fine
values. II was not until the 700 and
500 levels were reached, however, that
the management began running into
lead and silver ores. Word of splendid
developments was received in this city
several days ago from these two levels,
and Mr. Page states that the present
showings are highly satisfactory. Some
of the specimens of ore he brought
back are especially fine, showing the
galena and chalcopyrite associated SO
as TO produce not only fine shipping
rock, but cabinet specimens az we'll.
From the 500 level. states Mr.. Page,
the company has driven "A winze down
for forty feet. and some fine specimens
OF wire silver are being found ar that
depth. Everything in the district is
taking on more attractive airs; there is
a great deal of activity on all sides.
and the district never gave more prom
isc of better things than at this time
Mr.. Page looks for that section TO
prove magnificent worth during the
present season.

SILVER ISLAND HAS
MUCH ACTIVITY NOW
Utah Mining District, by Get
ting Railroad, Is Calling
i'm Owners.

On the line of the Western Pacific
! road, now being constructed across the
deserts TO the Nevada line, aud within
the State of Utah. is the district known
as Silver Island, section long neg
lected owing 10 the lack of railroad
facilities. This section is being rejuve.
mated along the most approved lines
at work upon ground that has been idle
except for the work necessary year to
year to secure the owners. A. j. Bru
neau, manager of the Dominion Cop
per company and the Old Glory Copper
company, returned Friday from an in
spection of both these properties, and
he is authority for the news of in
creased activity in the district.
Mr.. Bruueau was accompanied by Il.
f.. Boukofsky, and both expressed them
selves Friday as being pleased with the
states that the Old Glory constantly is
adding to It's tonnage of low grade ore,
but of sufficient value for shipment at
profit when the road is done and
ready for business. The company is
going deeper with shafts, and much
better results are anticipated with
depths, for the Improvement so far has
been steady as the workings have de-
scended. The Dominion company is
driving . crosscut tunnel, and this
working will have TO proceed for thirty
feet yet before tapping the first vein.
During his stay in the camp Mr., Bru-
ncau visited the Carrie Mack ground,
another Salt Lake proposition, and saw
the recent uncovering Of fine silver and
copper ores mentioned in these columns.
He spoke very highly of tins develop
ment, and brings with him a handsome
sample of the kind of rock now being
taken from the Carrie Mack shaft.

LAWSON AND NEVADA
UTAH COMPANY RUMOR
Manager Schneider Does Not
Know if Eastern Reports
Are True.

General Manager Schneider Of the
Nevads-Utah Mining company is at
his desk again, after a several weeks
absence on company business IN Bos-
ton and New York Eastern papers
for some time have been full of the
reports that Thomas ". Lawson OF
"Frenzied Finance fame would take
the executive beadsbip of this organiza-
tion, replacing Col. John Weir, the
president of the company, whose health
for some time past has not been of the
most robust character When asked
regarding this rumor. Manager Schnel-
der, although just back from the scene
OF action in the East, could give no in
formation whatever. He had read the
reports in Eastern papers, but could
neither add TO nor subtract therefrom
authoritatively.
The Nevada Utah company during
the past few months has provided much
food for thought. especially in local
organization was deemed extremely
weak, owing 10 a considerable indebt-
edness hanging over a portion of It's
mining possessions. The company also
was in the development or preparatory
stage of existence, and some little ways
from actual remuneratlNe ore eXtrac.
tion. But to the surprise of those not
entirely in sympathy with the organi-
cation, the stock went up when all
other stocks went down. and it stays
up when all the others are hunting the
lowest levels attained by them for
years.
From Eastern sources this was ex
planned by the statement that Mr. Law
son had stepped behind the company
with all his following, and ii is said
that his shoulder still is sufficiently
close TO the wheels as to keep every
thing clear and In going order. This
latter fact undoubtedly has given color
TO the claim that Mr.. Lawson is the
logical one to take the helm if Colonel
Weir sees fit to reluquish his hold.
1t is stated also that the company purse
is waxed fat enough to withstand the
pupctures that are to be made in il
by payments now due or soon to be
due.
No one familiar with the past years
operations of the Nevada Utah com
pany can doubt the sincerity of those
who have been in charge Of the prop.
critics, At Phoebe. at Bingham. and
now at the property in the Frisco dis
trIct of Beaver county, the manage.
ment has done splendid work, and in
quick time, taking into consideration
the many difficulties with which they
had to contend. The company has
spent a lot of money, but ii has been
spent we'll apparently, and the orpan
lZation should soon begin showing re.
suits that are the kind that count in
the game of mining.

STIRRED UP THE SPRING
Polk County Fountain Spouts Abou.
the Earthquake.

On one of his farms near Perry
dale Hon. D. L. Keyt has a spring
that has for some years been noted
locally for its health-mending prom
critics. 1t has cured a number of
cases of rheumatism and other ALL
ments, In fact the water Is an all
round health provocative, but most
particularly adapted for stomach
ailments and a blood purifier. Mr..
Keyt had It analyzed by the Corvallis
college chemists, but when we saw
him yesterday he had forgotten the
exact formula and ingredients, but
soda, SILICA and iron are of the high
est proportion. He is firm believer
in the curative properties, and men
toned a number of benefited and
cured cases to prove his claim. Some
day we may see a great health resort
Established there. But to the strange
part of the spring we now come: It
is boarded up the height of some two
feet to keep 1t in clear and good con-
ditlon, and until after the morning of
the San Francisco earthquake always
remained at the same level, the
water was found to be in a state of
violent eruption, bubbling and throw
! ing itself to a height of three and
four feet. The water did not seem
to increase in volume, but became
Violently agitated, and has so con-
tinued to this day, although not quite
to the extent of the first few morn
ings after the earthquake. The
spring undoubtedly has a connection
with some subteranean cavern or cur
rent affected by the earths convul-
sions, and It Is the opinion Of many
that another earthquake may make
of 1t a gusher, and perhaps a hot
one.
