ally.

EMF CO. SEVERAL
LAPS IN THE LEAD
Has All the Better Of Legal Squabble
With Studebakers-Latter May
Bring Damage Suit.

The EMF. Co. is several laps In
the lead In the suit instituted against
II by the Studebaker Automobile Co
Judge Swan has already refused to IL
sure a peremptory injunction to pre-
vent the sale of EMF. cars from the
makers directly to dealers. Judge Sew
erens' decision. Friday. to the same
effect leaves the Studebaker concern
only the recource OF a suit for dam
ages unless Judge Swan should dis
cover In the facts laid before him
some cause for reversing his action
and allowing an injunction.
Next Monday the legal battle will
be on In the court here before Judge
Swan. This hearing is to be on the
Judge Severens' opinion In the YER
sion of the case heard before him
points the probable decision Of Judge
Swan.
A suit for damages will take a year
or more to try and. by that time the
EMF. company will have marketed
it's 1910 cars and probably Its 1911
product also. There are $4,000 people
employed In the EMF. plants and
about as many more are affected IN
other plants which have contracts To
furnish parts for the cars. The case,
therefore, has an immense bearing on
the industrial situation In Detroit and
the outlook i5 now that the army OF
men drawing their wages from the
EMF. directly or indirectly will be
assured of a year or more OF employ
ment before the case can come to
trial.
Even then, Detroiters who are
familiar with the facts in the case
say te EMF. CO. 10 likely to win
the suit, ending the jangles arising
from the bargain with the Studebaker
interests by the payment Of only q
moderate sum in damages. And Az
per cent of these damages will come
out of the Studebaker interest them
selves as they own that proportion OF
the EMF.
Attorneys for the Studebakers were
very anxious to have the original suit
begun before Judge Swan, transferred
to Judge Severens and the latter stat
ed that he would hear II Jan. 3. IL
Judge Swan requested him 30 to do
Judge Swan declared. however, that
he will try the case himself.

vealed that he had sustained only
scalp wounds and a severe shaking
up.
The auto. owned and driven by
Charles Wales. Of No. II Garfield-ave..

driveway OF the cathedral. when Mr..
Wales temporarily lost control OF the
machine, and swung too far into the

Christmas ceIebrstor Nabbed.

Filled with Christmas cheer of the
liquid variety. Frank May. 81 years
old. OF No. 1913 Frederick-st., became
imbued with the idea that he was the
Santa Claus of wild west celebra-
tion. Frank was slipping Christmas
liquor in a st. Antoine-st resort when
he suddenly whipped out a large re-
volver. and with wild yell announced
that he was going to make II a merry.

and none In the rear end-to encour-

their arms filed with bundles and the
strapless rear portion held q concourse
OF equally burdened folks who swayed
and danced about with each change
In pace OF the car. Mrs. Brown was
sitting down and she had eleven bun

carried on conversation broken by
Mrs Jones' barn dance steps when
the car stopped or started suddenly.
Finally Mrs. Brown rang for her

Jones crushed close in SO as to get

then the motorman gave the quickest

railroad station. Instead OF the usual
hushed conversations and gloomy

was more or less high-pitched talk
and bursts OF laughter Young men
and girls employed in the city were
awaiting the train that would take them
out In the state to the little towns
where they were born. there to attend
the family reunion and spend two days
in renewing old acquaintances. Former

tied up their impatience and returned
to the warm seats OF the waiting

OLD GEYSER- MARION
MILL is BURNED DOWN

The news was telephoned in from Mer-
cur yesterday morning that the milling
plant of the old Geyser- Marion Gold Min
ing, company was completely destroyed
by fire during the evening previous. As
there is not even a suspicion of fire pro-
lection in the town OF about the works
that could be made available, the pOpula-
ton of the little camp could no nothing
but COngTegate on the hillside and watch
the flames lick up the big frame build
ing and ruin the machinery and equip
ment, some of which was considered just
as good as it was the day the works
closed down. something like ten years
ago, when the ores became too low grade
to permit of profitable operation.
The control of the GeySer-M Marion COM
pany rests with W. S. Mccormick and A.
3. Sawyer, of this city, and a crowd of
PittsbUTgeTs, who long since gave up the
idea of ever trying to do anything more
with the mine. The milling plant had
a capacity of something like $50 tons of
ore a day and, while the mine was in its
prime, substantial dividends were paid.
The plant of course, was altogether out
of date, and il is possible that the only
portion of the equipment that might
have been disposed of to advantage was
the crushing machinery, the cyanide
tanks, etc.
The old mine workings and the dumps
have been sampled at different times by
parties claiming TO have processes to sue
cessfully handle the lOw--grade stuff. but
none of them ever developed enough
nerve tC secure a lease and get busy.
It is hardly likely that anything will
ever again be done with the property I'M
less future developments in the district
uncover new ore-bearing channels i'm that
portion of the district that are rich enough
to work and concerning the existence of
which nothing is now known.

TELLS OF CONDITIONS
AT ELY CONSOLIDATED

S NJ. Levy. president of the Ely Con-
SOlidated Copper company was an ar
rival at the Northern from Salt Lake.
Yesterday Mr.. Levy inspected the work
which is being done in the Brilliant shaft.
Just south of the Ruth mine of the Nc
vada Consolidated. says the Ely Mining
ExpOsitor.
Drifting on the 800 level has been sus-
pended for the present on account Of a
flow Of water which was struck recent
" and which could rot be handed with
bailer. The company will probably
put in a pumping plant in the near fu-
ture II the communications of Mr.. Levy
are followed out. In the meantime, drift
ing has been started from just above
the water level and two drifts are being
run. 400 feet from the collar for the pur-
pose of prospecting the ground at that
depth. When the shaft was sunk it was
levels except at COO. One of the drifts
at 400 is being run north and one to
the west. which have now advanced 80
or 20 feet from the shaft
The whole formation cut bv the shaft
is highly mineralized and the drift on 500
that contained fair copper values. In
one Of the 400 drifts quartz fissure was
cut that also carries copper values. and

Mr. Levy expects to resume work in the
Jack shaft which is located a short dis
taDCe southwest from the Star Pointer
shaft. The Jack is more than 800 feet
deep, with about 80 feet Of water in il.
The water level there is also about 400
feet from the surface, at which point
some very high grade copper ore was
found, some samples running 20 per cent

KNIGHT SHELTER
CLOSES DOWN
General Cleanup and Repairs
Reasons Given for Two
Weeks Cessation.

Some surprise was OccasiOEed yesterday
By the report from Tinuc 10 the effect
that orders had been given for the clos
ing down of Che Tiuuc Smelling com
uany's works BY tomorrow or next DAY
the last of the four blast furnaces will
have been blown out and the works, ac-
cording 10 Uncle Jesse Knight, who was
questioned ON the matter during the day,
viii probably remain closed down LOT d
matter of a couple Of weeks.
Mr.. Knight explains that a general
cleanup is 10 De made and the plant put
in perfect shape for another run, the
sintering plant, particularly being IN
need of repairs and some minor changes
in order to get the best results during
the close-dOwn. Dir. Knight states, the
United States Smelling company viii take
the ores from. the camp mines tnat nave
found Judgment i'm the Tintic smelter bins
under an arrangement that viii mot In
any manner work a hardship on the ship
pers.
While the cleanup of the plant is go
ing on and thu necessary repairs 70 put
everything in apple-pie order are alnder
way, the company will take advantage Of
the time 10 line its new water storage
reservoir with concrete and cement
something that has been required since
the day the reservoir was completed No
one need get the notion. Mr.. Knight says,
ness: nothing Of the kind is even being
thought Of 1t is simply explained thai
the management wanted to know where
il was at and at the same time make the
repairs mentioned.
This may be only a portion OF the rea-
son for the ClOse-dOWn at this time,
though nothing else has been mentioned.

GRAND CENTRAL
BEING WATCHED
Knowing Ones Expect Ore to
Be Cut on 1,800-FOOt
Level by Sunday.

1t was stated yesterday by a mining
man who is certainly in a position to
know what he is talking about that there
viii be another strike in the Grand Cen
trail mine within the next day or two or,
as he put it, by Sunday" He declared
that the management was sanguine of
tapping the clearing channel recently
encountered on the 2.000-fOot level at a
point 200 feet vertically above. or on the
1.Sg0 level. Asked if that was the rea-
son for the sharp advance in the stock
during the past day or two, The Herald S
informant said.
1T is not that entirely. When Man
ager G. r. Loose was here a few days
ago ne told me that the new develop
ment on the 2,000 level was of sufficient
Importance TO justify a price of g for
the stock without the ore being found
above. 1t is a fact however. that the
crOSS-Cut on the 1S00-fOOt level is now
out just about far enough to reach the
channel in which the ore was found in
the west drift on the 1000 level and the
character of the rock being passed
through is declared to reveal identically
similar conditions to those prevailing on
the 2,0O0 before the ore was reached.
don't know just what the nature of the
work going on at the point where the
strike was made is, but 1 am told that
1t is considered a cinch that the ore will
be found on the 1850 within the next few
days, or by Sunday, at the latest, as it
was explained 10 me-
