IMPORTANT DECISION
IN PHOSPHATE CASE
Prior Placer Location Held Proper Against Sub
sequent Lode Location--Decision by Judge
Van Fleet of u. S. District Court.

cluding parts Of the states Of Nevada
Utah, Wyoming, Idaho and Mon
tana.
1.-The complainants with knowledge
of the prior location of defendant
and its predecessors, entered upon
the land in 1907 and proceeded,
against the notification and objection
of defendant that they were tres
passers, to file locat tions on the same
bed or deposit covered by defend
ants locations, and after some threat
ened litigation between the parties,
complaints were suffered by the de-
fendant, without waving its objec-
tions to the validity of their claim.
to proceed and do the necessary as-
sessment work; and 1t is stipulated
that, aside from the questions aris-
ing out OF the alleged trespass Of the
complainants in making their loca-
tions and the claimed prior rights of
defendant, they have done the neces-
sary work to perfect them down to
the time of filing this suit.
''On August IL, 1910, the defendant
filed its application for patent upon
its several placer locations Involved.
and thereafter the plaintiffs filed adj
verse claims thereto and In due time
commenced this action"
After an exhaustive review of
authorities the court held that the
plaintiffs acquired no rights what
ever In the land by their subsequent
lode locations, and to hold otherwise
would be giving them the benefit Of
a mistake on the part Of the defend
ant In respect as to which the land
department itself would appear to
have been uncertain. and such q re-
suit the law will not countenance.
The decree, therefore, should go in
favor of the defendant company.

Thursday of last week J. j. Tay-
lor of the San Francisco Chemical
Co. received notice that decision
had been rendered at San Francisco
by Judge Van Fleet of the U. S.
District court, in favor of his CON-
pany, involving title to valuable
phosphate claims near Montpelier.
The case was that Of NJ. $. Dutfield
and Lewis A. Jeffs VS.. The San
Francisco Chemical company, which
had been in the courts for several
years. Attorney Jesse Bulge, of
the firm of Clark & Bulge of Poca-
tello, has had charge of the case
for the defendant company during
it's long siege through the courts,
and he feels highly elated over his
victory.
The opinion of the court deciding
in favor of the defendant and the
contention of the defendant in favor
of the placer location is in part as
follows:
"rhe controversy grows out of
these facts: The only valuable min
eral discovered on the claim in ques-
tion, and to acquire which the loca-
tions of both parties are intended, is
calcium phosphate or rock phosphate,
which is found in sedementary beds
or deposits. These deposits, of pre-
cisely similar formation and charac-
ter thruout, extend and form a part
of the earth's stratification over AN
area of country, including that in
made, including miles both east and
west and north and south, and in

TROUBLE IN
DEMOCRATIC CAMP

A Boise special to the Salt LAX g
III raid Republican under date of
Sept z, says:
The Democratic played directly
into the hands of the Republican
party, it is asserted, by turning the
party organization over, lock, stock
and barrel, to Governor Hawley and
his wing of the party last Tuesday.
John F. Nugent, who conducted the
fight in which the governor was elect,
ed, was kicked out of the state chair
manship and Ben X. Gray, state game
warden. q man who owes his Job to
the governor, was made chairman.
Back of this is the feeling that Nu-
gent represented the Wilson element
in the Democratic party, while Gov
ernor Hawley is charged with being
reactionary. He was for Harmon
at first He switched to Champ
Clark in the Baltimore convention
and has never been heard to say a
good word for the nominee. Govern
nor Hawley wished to be reelected
governor this fall and to ne sent to
the United States Senate next winter
should the legislature be democratic.
He opposed and defeated the nomi-
nation of candidate for the Sen
ate at the primary election.
Nugent and his friends fought for
late and picked George w. Tanna-
Hill of Lewiston as the man. They
argued that the Democrats had
fought for the popular election of
senators for years and that it was
their duty to stand by this principle.
The Nngent men were willing to
nominate Governor Hawley If he
would make the race against Senator
Borah and put some other man for
governor. This the governor would
not agree to. He insisted in max ing
the race for governor and insisted on
leaving the senatorship open until
after the legislature was chosen so
that in case there was II democratic
majority he could move up.
Largely through the influence of
Jerry j. Day and Harry l.. Day,
chief owners of the Federal Mining
company of Shoshone county, Cover
nor Hawley has had his way up to
this time. The Potlatch Lumber
company of the north has also exert
1 ed u big influence In his behalf.
Nugent and his friends are all the
more disgruntled because, In addi-
tion to being defeated in committee,
they were badly doubie-crossrd.
Monday night they had control of the
state committee by vote of fifteen
to twelve; but two of the members,
those from Lewis and Clearwater
counties in Hhe north, were switched
after they arrived in Boise, and the
charge is openly made that Governor
Hawley used personal and official
influence to bring about the change.
Nugent was defeated Dy vote oi
fourteen to thirteen.
Many progressive Democrats, 1t Ii
said. will vote for the Republican
legislative candidates simply TO pre-
vent the election of Governor Haw-
ley to the senate. Democrats here In
the capital are greatly cast down ovel
the situation and the Republican,
are correspondingly cheered.

admittedly mercurial in it's action: 1t is
either full of hope or cast down in the

Today's market was broader and
stronger than any during the last ten

the fact that the Baltimore convention
is not as full Of harmony as a camp

craftsmanship Of the convention, which
he refused when rendered him in ad-
vance Of the assembling of the conven-

Should a conservative candidate be
nominated for the Presidency, the stock
market would Immediately reflect the

Carelessness in their use by the sum-

their Punishment. According TO certain
professors, the use of toothpicks Is vul-

had their sensibilities touched by the

complaint, and the removal Of the picks

Money Conditions Lessen
+ Security Business.

The condition Of the market for money
Is certainly restricting operations. Many
banks are taking care of their custom
ers, but have not a sufficient supply OF
available cash to care for many collat-
eral loans that have been offered during
the last few days.
All this will end with the advent of
July. Washington corporations paying
their dividends and interest charges at
that time will turn loose large sums Of
money that they have been accumulat-
ing for that purpose; other corporations
will send millions to this city, and the
Government pay roll, probably enough
for civilian employees, will swell the
available funds.
Prices were generally strong, but there
was not much doing.
