to the amended complaint of the Flor

Detch, Carney and Stevens, attorneys
for the Little-Florenee company.
In the answer filed, the Little Flor

set forth in the complaint of the Flor

prayer for damages against the Flor

lions.
1t is stated in the answer to the com

COMBINATION FRACTION
SALE is DECLARED OFF

1t may be authoritatively stated that
the deal for control of the Combination
Fraction is permanently and definitely
declared off. No less an authority than
Thos. d. Murphy, partner of Al Myers,
is given.
Mr.. Murphy stated yesterday to n
News representative that the second
payment fell due and defaulted. An
extension of time was given and still
the money was not forthcoming.
Now the property is again held with
fawless title by the former owners and
effort is being put forth to make the
property paying mine through the
shipment of high grade ores.
Fifty feet south from the Oddie shaft
on the 450-foot level vein, which ap-
parently trends into the Little Florence
lease on the Fraction, is now yielding
from ledge three to seven feet in
width ore running from $50 to $204 to
tho ton.

virgin territory and there is no reason
for believing that the shoot does not
extend to the surface. The ore is be-

by the peg; and upon this understand
ing, the Little Florence opened up the
ground in the 50-foot block to the
north of the peg, and developed very
rich ore in large quantities. The an
swer alleges that while this work was
in progress, r. G. Lockhart, manager
for the Florence company, frequently
visited and inspected the work and was
at ali times cognizant of what was GO
ing on under ground in that territory,
and never raised an objection until the
Little Florence opened up the rich ore
in question. He then objected to
further work, declaring that a mistake
had been made and claiming that the
ore extracted from that ground be
longed to his company. He demanded,
on penalty of forfeiture of the lease on
the Little Florence, that he be paid
$176,907, the proceeds of ore received
bv the Little Florence from the ground
in question, beside, $S15. This money
was paid under duress. Lockhart also
demanded the forfeiture of the Mo
hawk Florence lease, owned by the
Little Florence, as part of the penalty,
and this was also agreed to, the Little
Florence being at that time in no posi-
tion to resist the demand.

While not yet absolutely assured, n
mill for the Diamondfeld Black Butte
Consolidated is a strong probability; in
fact, the company has so far proceeded
in the matter that plans for financing
the project are now under considera-
tion.
The treasury contains a comfortable
little reserve and this is being added
to weekly by means of ore shipments,
which leave profit after all mine ex-
penses are deducted. Royalties are
also beginning to come in from leases.
But these sources would not be suf-
ficient to provide for the building of \
mill for long time and in the mean
while the custom and transportation
charges are cutting down the profits.
The mill would of necessity be n
large one, as nearly the entire butte
shows milling ore of low grade both
on the surface and at depth. Water in
that portion of the camp for milling
purposes is easily obtainable.
Shipping ore is now being lifted from

MILLIONS INVOLVED IN
LITTLE FLORENCE SUIT

The Little Florence prays that the
court declare the agreement which sur
rendered the lease and the money in
question, null and void That the Mo
hawk Florence lease be restored for the
unexpired period of five months, or that
it be awarded damages on this account
in the amount of 100000 which it is
estimated the lease would produce. The
Little Florence also prays for the res
toration of $177,723.2S and interest, and
$1,050,000 damages, that being the
estimated value of the ore in the so
foot block which the Little Florence
developed, but was not permitted to
ship from.
Considerable stress is laid upon the
Mohawk Florence lease. That ground
at the time was not considered very
valuable; in fact the Mohawk Florence
got its ore from a piece of the Little
Florence vein given in return for the
use of Mohawk Florence machinery.
But since the developments on the
Rogers Syndicate lease, it appears that
the Rogers vein goes into Mohawk
Florence territory, hence its important
place in the answer filed by the com
panv.

ST. IVES LEASE DRIFTING
ON THE 5oo-FOoT LEVEL

There seems to be no question that

ing up big body of ore on the 800
foot level. The high values, which
were taken out of the very bottom of
the sump in the shaft, which is % feet
below the 500-foot level, seem to have
come from ledge which the company
is now entering on its north drift, as
good values are being encountered
in the ledge which they are now cut
ting in the north drift.
Manager Codd states today that he is
entirely satisfied with the showing, and
that he fully expects to be able to get
out shipment in very short time.
Twd drifts are being run at this
time; one is running east and the other
north. The country rock is of exactly
the same formation as that which is
found in the Mohawk and other produc-
ing properties.

The selected ore has a value of from

progresses the body is holding well its

Silver and gold in the free prevail in
quantity, as do both sulphides am, sui

The drills in the stope of the Victor

reason that the drift leading to the

As matter of fact, the leasers,
Messrs. Newland & Parkison, holding
controlling interest in the company,
