IMPORTANT MINING DECISION.

sssss WV sVtsNssNo 0eStSsONs
Judge Steele handed down a de-
cision this week In favor OF q. H.
Hanson and N. o. Strand, mortgage,
In the case of Strand against the
Butte and Orogrande Mining company
Hanson, and Peter Marren, involv-
ing property of large value. Strand,
the plaintiff had mortgage upon the
mining claims of the Butte & Orc
grande Mining Co., at Orogrande,
which it sought to forecloee, and Mr..
Hanson was in possession of the
property and had been Waterman and
caretaker thereon for a long time,
and claimed lien for some twenty
five hundred dollars for services and
work on the property and as watch
man. Defendant Marren had relocat-
ed the claims upon which the mill
was located and the valuable prop
critics, and claimed the annual labor
had not ben performed so that the
ground was subject to his relocations;
and he held adversely to the other
parties. The questions involved were
whether annual labor commenced In
1910 and finished in 1911, for the
year 1910, prevented forfeiture of
the ground. and also If the actual
work performed was not sufficient
whether the services as Waterman
would be reckoned in the annual la
Dor. This was claimed by Hanson
and Strand and denied by the reloca-
tor Marren. The court held the work
so performed to be sufficient and also
that the services as Waterman could
be applied as part Of the annual la
Dor.
The Judgment of the court awards
Hanson a judgment for services for
$24O0 and makes this a prior lien to
the mortgage which Is foreclosed for
about $1,000 and interest. The prop
erty has large stamp mill, and
quantities of other machinery upon 1t.
and Is one Of the we'll known prop
critics Of that camp.
A. s. Hardy appeared as attorney
for Hanson, P. E. Stookey of Lewis
ton for Strand and w. N. Scales for
Marren.

MACARTHUR VERY MUCH ALIVE.

There was a rumor floating about
some days ago that Nelson Macarthur,
who with Mrs. Macarthur and two
daughters. and Mr.. and Mrs. John
Callan, had left overland In their
autos for southern California. had
been taken suddenly with an attack
of appendicitis and had passed away
somewhere In the land of climate
and orange blossoms. However,
this rumor was afterward denied, but
should there be any doubts still lin
gering In the minds OF any of Mr.. Nc
Arthur's friends as to whether his
habitation Is now terrestrial or ce-
lestial, the following letter to the
Globe should set the matter at rest:
Santa Ana, Calf.
Sept. 2, 1912.
Friends Branscombe and Smith:
Ones wants In this country Of or
anges and honey are very few. All
that need now to make life very en-
durable Is the Globe--never mind put
ting the fence around it. Please send
to 511 e. First St.. Santa Ana. Calf.
Yours truly,
NELSON MACARTHUR.

that the increase q, e. OF 4,4OO cubic

the effect of the diversion OF this

AT present the diversion OF the
Canadian side are limited by the
law which forbids the importation
of more than 10000 electrical horse
