THE SUPREME COURT
SUSTAINS OUR JUDGE
Decision of Judge CIementson
Confirmed in Mining Case
The Point is of Much Interest as Having
Important Bearing on Min
ing Affairs.

Judge Clementson's decision in the
Company vs. Martin Longhenry and
the Wisconsin Zinc Company was sus-
tanned by the supreme court of Wis
consin on Tuesday of last week. The
case was of especial interest in that it
was the first litigation of its kind that
has gone to our supreme court
The Platteville Journal gives the
details of the suit as follows:
The cases rose out of a dispute over
certain mining lands belonging to Mr..
LonghenTy upon which he gave a
mining lease in December, 1906. to the
Grant County Mining Company. The
Grant County Mining Company failed
to do any work whatever upon the
Longhenry lands until November, 1908,
when Longhenry forfeited the lease.
after which he leased the premises to
the Wisconsin Zinc Company. The
lease to the Grant County Mining
Company provided that they should
begin operations upon the land in
question or before July /. 1907, and
thereafter were to prospect and work
any mines discovered for nine months
in each year.
The supreme court holds that the
only consideration for the lease being
the prospective royalties. that it was
necessary for the company to operate
in accordance with the terms of the
lease, and that when they failed to do
SO, they lost all title and right in the
premises. The case was SO decided by
Judge Clementson in February. 1909.
and the Grant County Mining Com
pany appealed from the decision.
Last summer the company went into
bankruptcy and later c. A. Loveland,
Jr.. as trustee, was substituted in
place of the Grant County Mining
Company The supreme court, con-
sistng of seven members, was unan
imous in its decision.
The case is Of unusual interest to
both mining companies and land own
ers, as il is said to be the first case Of
It's kind that has gone to our supreme
court, and the only case of its kind
decided in recent years by the courts
of other states. 1t means In effect,
that a land owner need not submit to
having his land tied up by a lease
unless the mining company performs
it's obligations as provided for in the
lease.
Messrs. T. J.. Cleary and r. A
Goodell of this city, and T. Swanson
of Madison, represented the Grant
County Mining Company in its con-
tention, and Kopp & Brunckorst of
this city, and Thomas & Hackney of
Carthage, Mo-, represented Martin
Longhenry and the Wisconsin Zinc
Company.
It is claimed that in the neignbor.
hood of $50, 900, worth of ore has been
taken from the Longhenry la"ds since
the suit was decided in circuit court.
Undoubtedly the mining machinery
and other assets of the Grant County
Mining Company will shortly be sold
by the trustee
