Injunction IL Suspended

In granting the smelter permission to
reopen, Judge Marshall did not modify
the original injunction in the strict
sense Of the word, but granted a suspen-
sorry order permitting the company to
operate its plant until the farmers could
show that the fumes were damaging
vegetation. He permits the smelter to
treat ores containing more than ten per
cent sulphur. providing that the aggre-
gate amount shall not average more
than ten per cent sulphur. and provid-
ing that the total amount of sulphur
contained in the smoke shall not exceed
seventy-five one-hundredths of one per
cent sulphur dioxide.
The decision of the court was verbal,
and was given with the understanding
that the attorneys for the smelter.
Dickson, Ellis & Ellis and Howatt 81
Mcmillan, should prepare a form con
tanning the conditions imposed, which
shall be submitted to Judge w. H. King
and Senator Rawlins, attorneys for the
farmers, and that both parties shall
agree to these terms, after which the
order will be signed by the court.
The smelling company will at once
start making the improvements on the
plant to comply with the terms of the
suspension Of the injunction, and in
two months will begin ono more the
treating of ores. though the improve
ments will not be completed and the
plant will not be operating to the limit
of its capacity before six months.
Judge King said that if the smelling
company lived up to its promise and
did not injure the crops. there would
be no complaint oil the part OF the
farmers. George w. Heintz. general
manager of the smelter. regards the
outcome as a substantial victory for his
company, and believes that as a result
the other smelters will soon reopen un-
der similar terms.

Allows u. S. Smelter to Operate
Federal Court Suspends Injunction to Enable Company to Dem
onstrate Claims-Reopenins of Utah Smelling Plant
Expected to Bring About Early Resumption
of Work on Ruby Hill

Judge John A. Marshall of the Federal Court suspended the
injunction against the United States Smelling & Refining Company
at Salt Lake City on Saturday, April T.
The news of Judge Marshalls decision was received with great
Joy by the people Of Eureka anu Ruby Hill, who have patiently
been awaiting the outcome of the case. 1t is thought this means
the resumption of operations in a short time in the mines of the
Richmond Eureka Company on Ruby Hill and increased business
activity in Eureka. But at this writing -Saturday-Supt A P.
Mayberry states that he has received no instructions regarding the
resumption of work at the companys mines on Ruby Hill
The following article from the Salt Lake Herald of April 5
gives a brief history of the question at issue between the farmers
and smelling company and also a summary of the points decided by
Judge Marshall in dissovling the injunction:
The Eureka sentinel. [volume] (Eureka, Nev.) 1902-current, 1908-04-13

The next move made by the smelters
was a petition presented to Judge Mar
shall for a modification Of the injunc-
ton. The petition stated that the com.
pany would install new processes where
by the solids would be eliminated from
the fumes and that no damage would
result from the operation of the smelter.
The attorneys for the smelter declared
that the smelter to continue operations
must treat some ores having a sulphur
content of more than ten per cent.
They said that if the company were al
lowed to treat a limited quantity of this
ore, approximately 200 tons a day, it
would also treat enough ore containing
a less percentage of sulphur so that in
the aggregate the amount of sulphur
treated with the ores would be less than
ten per cent.
The Eureka sentinel. [volume] (Eureka, Nev.) 1902-current, 1908-04-13

mines, and that the concentrating plant
near the smelling works will also go in
to early commission to treat this ore.
Farmers Are Safeguarded
BY the terms of the decision the
farmers are sa~feguarded against any
possible harm resulting from the re.
opening of the plant, as the suspension
of the injunction covers only the Pc
riod that the smelter may operate with.
out damage resulting.
improvements Planned
The famous smelter smoke cases of
which the present decision is a result
have been in the courts for over a year,
and up until the present time the farm
ers have always been successful in their
case against the shelters. By q de-
cision of Judge Marshall an injunction
was granted whereby all the shelters in
the valley were ordered to close down
or comply with the terms of the injunc-
ton, which the smelter people said were
so drastic as to prohibit their operating.
Judge Marshall ordered that all Of the
smelters must cease t. emit from their
smokestacks all lead, arsenic, antimony
or other deleterious solids. and to cas-
to treat ores containing more than ten
per cent sulphur.
Following the issuance of this injunc-
ton the smelters filed an appeal to the
Circuit Court of Appeals. Pending the
appeal the American Smelling & Rein
ing Company made a settlement with
the farmers. paying the latter an indem-
nifty for permission to continue to oper-
ate. The other smelters filed superse-
IDEAS bonds and were allowed to continue
operations until the case was finally
passed upon. The Appellate Court sus
tanned the injunction. and a petition for
a writ of certiorari presented by the
United States Company to the Supreme
Court of the United States was denied.

was shot and killed in street duel
in Mas hville, Tenn, on the after.
noon of November 9th, by Robin
Cooper, young attorney. Young

er by u bulIe, from Carmack's guu.
His condition is not serious
Carmack was wounded three
times, in the neck, the breast and
the shoulder, Col. Duncan B

Tennesseean, daily paper of
which Carmack became editor
after his defeat for the nomination
of governor. Editorials in qu.s-
ton had been vigorous in their
comment on Colonel Cooper and
his alleged connection with what
Mr.. Carmack termed the "Demo

Colonel Cooper, who is well known
in business, newspaper and politi.
cal circles in Tennessee ana the
