KEANE WONDER TANGLE
SETTLED OUT OF COURT

According to the Bullfrog Miner the
Keane Wonder matter, insofar as the
public at large is concerned, is cleared
up for all time. The matter has worked
out in good shape and it looks now like
it is only a question of how long it will
take the mill and improvements to pay
for themselves at 5000 per month
T. b. Hickey and ID. Mackenzie, ii
is understood, were causing the trouble.
An interlocutory injunction was granted
last week, that closed these gentlemen
out of the matter for the time being.
Hickey had a debt of some $4,000
against the mine. Mackenzie had an
ether debt of a larger sum-, which be
had traded for from the State Bank and
Trust company. These debts were Sc
cured by trust deeds.
This week II. b. Tatem of Helena,
| Mont, has advanced the cash to GOV.
err Rickey's claims and that gentleman
is now eliminated excepting as a stock
holder of the company. Also Frank L.
Wildes, receiver of the defunct Trust
company, has this week started action
against Mackenzie in the name Of the
creditors Of the bank to force him to
return the debt against the Keane Won
der, and the security therefor to the
assets of the bank. The case OF tne
receiver seems a strong one, as IL Is
alleged that Mackenzie, if allowed 10
succeed, will have received an undue al
vantage over the other depositors In
Rickey's bank.
However this suit may finally DC
determined, and however the similai
one against Hickey himself for stoeA
held out from the assets of his ae
funct enterprise, the Keane Wonue'
mine will be little affected. BEFORE
these matters are settled and before
the original question can again ~
raised, the bullion production VIII
have met the issue. Time is all fns'
is required to liquidate these debts
Homer Wilson, superintendent Of inc
property, and the largest indlyiduai
s~tockholder therein, positively refussu
to be interviewed in the matter. DC
would only make the statement sha'
right would prevail and that the hean'
Wonder and it's stockholders would p'

Pioneer is past the stage of the first boom now, and mining operations

output for May is going t. con close % the 100000 mark, according to TN
plans of the operating company. In the old boom days the stock of the
Pioneer leasing company would have been close to the dollar mark by this
time; tho stock Of the parent company-the Bunfrog Pioneer company-would

any camp. IN fact they are desirable But III me thing that Ely must keep
in view at all times is that none of the professional labor agnnhms be al

would be greatly improved through organization. The Ely mines arc produc-
ing enormously; the product is low grade and the character Of the mining
does not need skilled men; therefore hundreds-yes thousands # foreign labor
es are employed about the mines and especially the smAters, at low wages
lower than prevails anywhere else in Nevada. The corporation for which they
are working is known to employ the cheapest men at the lowest possible wage,
and al a result American labor is practically barred. Through organization
these conditions ca be improved.

in Ely there is no considerable number Of American workmen-men with
families and little homes to whose interest it would be ruinous to have pro

Greece really is in the hands of

Since the leaders Of the Military

PORTLAND, Ore, Nov. 23.-Virtually
every river and creek in oregon is out
of it's banks and reports of damage
come from all parts of the state.
In Eastern Oregon the rain is accom-
panied by a wind of almost hurricane
violence, which caused considerable de-
struction. In eastern Washington con-
ditions are much the same, though the
rainfall is not reported to be as heavy,
In southern Washington overflowing
streams threaten heavy loss. The
greatest damage apparently has been
done along the willamette river.
AT Roseburg the water plant has
been forced To shut down.
Springfield is under two feet of wa
ter.
Near Brownsville, a Southern Pacific
trestle on the Woodburn- Natson
branch has been carried out.
At Albany the docks are under water
and the Willamette is steadily rising.
At Oregon City the water has
reached the grinders in the pulp mills
of the paper works and the mills have
shut down.
In Portland the water has covered
the lower wharves and several log
RATS have been torn from their moor
ings and lost in the mass OF debris
which is passing the city. The loss in
logs will amount to many thousands OF
dollars.
Communication with Hood river,
