AMERICAN FORK MAN
ON DUTCHMAN ACT T|OX
Suit Brought by w. A. Madison
Is Dismissed by DR..
Holden.
SnecIal to The Tribune.

Special to The Tribune.
AMERICAN FORK, July 1.-THE
article in today's issue Of The Tribune,
telling Of a most sensational mining suit
which has been filed against DR.. w.
]. Holden Of this city and other promi'
nent men of Cleveland, O., over the
operation Of the Dutchman mine in
American Fork canyon. created con
siderable stir among the mining men of
this city.
W. J. Holden, whom the suit seems to
be mostly aimed at, was formerly of
Cleveland, coming out here about five
years ago to continue tho operations
at the mine. When Mr. Holden was
seen at his office here this morning,
he did not hesitate to state that the
suit was a big farce, and the outcome
Of prejudice over two suits concerning
this same mine, which has been filed
against W. A. Madison, the complain
ant in the recent suit. at Cleveland, by
Dr. Holden. one of which is to recover
some 10000 shares of the Dutchman
Mining company S stock. and the other
filed by the Dutchman Mining company,
and was TO recover money which was
due the company.
Dr. Holden SlatGS 1ndt maulSOu mas
made some very broad statements,
which he will have considerable trouble
IN proving and may cause him some an
noyance. Also that during the course
of the development of the mine and
prior to shipments of ore, he has ad-
vanccd TO the company at different
periods sums amounting to between
Sl7 900 and $4,000 and has received in
return for this amount advanced so far
in The neighborhood of $1,000, which has
been the royalty from the ore shipped
by lcasers.
Hebcr Wilds of this city, who was
formerly leaser of the Dutchmau mine,
and who, it is complained in the suit
paid rebates TO DR.. Holden, stated this
morning that DR.. Holden received moth
ing from him during tho life Of his
lease except the royalty which the lease
called for.
According to the books of the com.
pany, it is said. the exact amount of
ore which has been mined since the
formation Of the company in 1903 is
SIS, 800. This includes all the ore which
was mined during the life of the Wilds
lease and tho Dutchman Leasing com
panv, The ore which is now exposed
in the workings Of the company is csti-
mated nj approximately $4,000. While
this is all that is now in sight, Dr.
Holden sincerely hopes that there is
more.

or will be considered than the one Sc

OF your city.
1t is fact we'll known by the citizens
OF Provo that In order TO reach the pres
ent Rio Grande passenger station. two
station of the Salt Lake Route II is nee
essary to cross three tracks. IT Is the
purpose OF the railroads TO remedy this
undesirable and dangerous condition by
erecting a new Joint passenger station at

eliminate the necessity of crossing any
and from the station with absolute safe
tys and IL seems TO us that every citizen
of Provo should be glad to assist the
railroads IN bringing about this condl,,
ton, thereby affordlng your city safe and
adequate passenger depot facilities
We stand ready TO proceed with the
construction OF tho proposed new sta
ton as soon as tho franchise has been
