KING Con. FILES
COALITION SUITS
Two Actions Brought Against
Park City Company In
yolve Big Sum.
WHAT COMPLAINTS ALLEGE
Application to BE Made 10 Court for
Order to Ecnter King Conll-
ton Workings.

AS stated in yesterdays News
would be the case. the Silver King
Consolidated Mining company has
trained its guns on its neighbor, the
Silver King Coalition Mines company.
Two suits have been filed. one In
equity and demands an accounting
for ores alleged to have been mined
from ground that Is owned jointly by
the two corporations, the value OF
which is alleged to be at least = ,000,-
900. The second action alleges tres
pass and the unlawful extraction of
ore from claims owned absolutely by
the plaintiff company, which is said
to have been valued at $4,000, and
on account of the nature of the suit
would entitle the plaintiff to damag-
es three times the amount represent-
ed as the actual value OF the ore.
To arrive at an intelligent idea OF
the ground involved, II is well TO
state that the possessions of the Sill
yer King Coalition company, the de-
PENDANT, entirely surround the pro-
perties of the plaintiff company,
which reach on the easterly side
within less than 1900 feet of the Sill
yer King Coalition company's main
operating shaft. The five claims in
volved in the equity action reach
around from the northeast to the
southwest side of the main group of
claims of the plaintiff company and
in which It is alleged that defend
ant has trespassed,
The suit i'm equity is brought
against the old silver King Mining
company and the Coalition company
as Its successor and sets UP that plain
tiff owns one half interest In the We
suvius and Andes patented claims,
three-fourths interest in such por-
tons of the Ladies' Drum and May
Flower No. calims as conflict with
the Delaware claims, while the own
ershlp of the remaining interests
in these claims is admitted as being
in the defendant companies. AS
Joint owner In these properties, the
plaintiff declares that mining has
been carried on for years in the
ground mentioned, and that defend
ant has never been given its share
or any share In the profits that 1t
alleges have accrued from operating
in this property. The complaint
asks that defendants be made to give
a true accounting of all the ores
that have been mined and that it be
awarded judgment for such profits as
belong to 1t through its more than
a one-half ownership in the property.
To reach the main property OF the
Silver King Consolidated company
,.tb e., Silver. King, Coalition company
&Mds M pfedecessors SdltAinterest would
have had to extend its workings
through some of the claims in which
joint ownership is set up the the equity
action, and that Is why the trespass
and damage suit has been brought, the
allegation being made that under
ground workings have been sent out
into this territory.
No Gnlnn Snfrn Of tho Com
solidated company has made repeat
ed demands on the defendant company
for an accounting and obtaining lit
tie or no satisfaction from this pro-
cedure, instructed his attorneys to
take legal steps to settle the con-
troversy Application will be made to
the court for an order permitting en-
gineers of the Consolidated company
to enter the workings of the Coalition
company, where they are alleged to
be in conflict with the interest of the
plaintiff corporation.
