PROOF AS TO VALUE OF
ORE IS RULED OUT

The morning session In the case OF the
United States Mining company against
w, s. Mccormick and w, IA, Walker,
who are being sued to recover bond
which they signed for $4,000, was taken
up in the examination of maps and dia-
grams intended 10 show the location OF
the property. During the afternoon ses-
sion. Judge Marshall OF the United States
district court refused TO allow the attor-
neys for the mining company to submit
proof relative to the value OF the ore
mined during the period of the inJunc-
ton.
The company alleges that 1t has lost
more than 100000 as result of the
property being tied up, and its attor-
Deys attempted to show the value OF the
ore from the reports Of the United States
Smelling company Of New York City
Inasmuch as the smelling company and
the mining company are one and the
same, Judge Marshall refused 10 allow
the proof TO be submitted, maintaining
that the value OF the ore should be- based
on the market value In the vicinity OF
the mine. The court then adjourned un
I'll Wednesday morning at 10 o'clock TO
allow the attorneys for the mining COM
pany TO submit new proof.
