Michael Sbaughnessy. both Of them
now dead. were the most conspicuous
figures.
As in all the instances of important
mining fights each side has It's parti
sans giving different versions Of tho
rights and wrongs. However, the long
drawn out warfare was full of dra-
matte incidents. whatever might have
been the merits of the case
The Henrietta was the name OF the
claim adjoining the Ontario, and Col.
onel Shanghnessy was the principal
owner. Mr.. Chambers was superlntend-
ent of the Ontario company, a position
he held for many years. IL was Sus-
pccted BY Colonel Shaughnessy that
the Ontario was mining In Henrietta
ground. the latter claim being devel-
oped TO only shallow depth. One OF
the first dramatic incidents was when
the colonel. accompanied by another
man, forced bis way down the shaft OF
the Ontario and surprised the men
working in the stope which he claimed
was within the limits of the Henrietta
grVand, Having obtained the informa-
;ion he desired. he made mis- way at

people. expecting that the connection
would be made between the under
ground workings of the two mines, pre-.
pared smudges with the idea that as
soon as the Henrietta miners broke
through the smoke would be drawn up
through the Henrietta shaft, and would
drive everybody out. Colonel Shaugh-
messy learned Of this, and secretly in
stalled fans, which he started as soon
as the connection was made. and forced
the smoke through the Ontario work
ings. turning the tables on bis antago-
nists.
The litigation was long drawn ont
