cess, and will convene again Monday,
when the case OF Henry Brandt ct al
vs.. the .Amador Copper & Gold Mining
company, whose property is located in
Montana, but which is incorporated
under the laws of Idaho, will come
up for trial.
The stockholders of the company al
lege that they have spent 100000 in
the development OF the Amador, and
claim that the officers OF the corpora
ton did not properly manage the
mine, its expenses and improvements,
and continued to assess the stock
til the shareholders refused to pay
any more The officers Of the mine
then succeeded in selling the stock for
non-payment Of the last dues, which
sale the plaintiffs declare is illegal.
The purpose of the suit is to set aside
the sale of the stock and have a re-
ceiver appointed to take charge of the

and enjoyed a steady, substantial
growth, but it's progress cannot be
compared with the foregoing figures.
OF course this growth in business
necessitated improvements in the sys-
tenn SO that the service would not suf-
fer The improvements have kept
pace with this phenomenal growth as
anyone who has occasion to use the
service at all can testify. 1t is the
best found in any city the size of Mos
COW and its efficiency is SO far SUI
perior to what it was four years ago
that there is no comparison.
Space would not permit mention in
detail of all the improvements made
by the company during the past three
and one-half years, but simple state
ment of what was done about two
years ago will give Star-Mirror read
ers an idea of what the company has
accomplished in this direction. At that
time one of the most up-to-date
stalled, together with the latest electric
al appliances and equipment at an ap-
proximate cost or expenditure of $10,-
600.
Of course this enterprise, like all
others that achieve a measure of sue
cess, has directing genius. T. A.
Meeker is one of our modest and most
business men, but during
his short residence in the city his
energy and business ability have been
no small factor in the commercial life
of Moscow.
The number of employees on the
regular payroll of the company has
been increased within three years
from six to sixteen, which is an item
not to be overlooked in the general
of this community. Since
Mr.. Meeker took charge of the enter
prise the company has also taken over
the uptown business of the Western
Union Telegraph company.

PHENOMENAL GROWTH OF
A MOSCOW INDUSTRY

The success of an individual or in
dustry is always interesting to the
people of community where such
success has been achieved, because it
reflects, in a measure at least, the
spirit and energy of its business men
and the general progress that is be-
ing made in it. The Star Mirror be-
lieves that an individual or industry
that has more than kept pace with the
progress Of a community deserves es-
pecial mention for this can be done
only by the exercise of superior busi-
ness acumen and energy.
In this instance the story has to re-
late the growth of an industry which
from it's nature is in very close touch
with every branch of business repre-
sented in the community and nearly all
Of it's inhabintants. 1t is the Moscow
Telephone G Telegraph company, sue
cessor to the Moscow Telephone COM
pany.
The Star-Mirror has just issued the
1913 directory for this company and
found that the little booklet contains
about 1900 subscribers. This company
has been under the same management
since early in the spring of 1909. At
that time it's directory, printed about
the 1st of March, consisted of a card
about 332 names of sub
scribers. In December of the same
year a regular directory was issued
which showed $50 subscribers. Then
followed the directory of 1910, issued
in the spring, with 725 names. A year
later another was issued with 895
lames, and the one issued in the spring
Of 1912 contained the names of 1850
Here is a growth in the number of
or patrons of telephone
of more than four hundred
per cent in about three and one-half
years. During all of this period Mos

Joseph Ettor described Quinlan's
trial today as "a one-sided affair"
He exhorted the strikers to stand
together and show the people of the
city that 'the Industrial Workers of
the World is bigger than the courts
and bigger than the manufacturers. :"
VIM. D. Haywood, said the verdict
of the Quinlan jury has turned the
searchlight on Paterson and "the world
will know the infamy Of this place
before the Industrial Workers Of the
World get through with it,"
He said the silk workers this year
will win an eight-hour day. "And
next year." he added, eve will strike
and demand six hours as a workday."

yolved. The payment of the notes is

and his sentence was taken under ad-

dictments yesterday against persons
charged with violating the federal Ii
quor laws and the work of investigat-
ing other cases OF like character is
continued.
These indictments are the first of
the kind returned by federal grand
jury in Moscow and it is believed the
action OF the federal officers in taking
up these cases will have an influence
toward the suppl ession of the illegal
sale OF liquors in counties where state
and county licenses cannot be Sc
cured. The men indicted are: David
Penny, Stephen Reuben, Frank Fried

equity. am making this statement not
as a generalization. but from the ac'uai
results produced in houses that nave
come under my own immediate notice.
There has been considerable lot buying
activity among tho builders in the Fort
Washington avenue section, between the
18th and 10th street subway stauohs'
during the last couple OF months. aho I"
is probably along Fort Washington ave-
nue.. the West End avenue of the Heights'
and Riverside Drive, that the next pulio-
ing movement will take place. AIreaAy
there are five or six buildings projected
and under way on Fort Washington ave-
nue.. and with the present growth OF
nonulatIon on the Heights these Will be
readily filled.
The long looked for building movement
IN the Dyckman is we'll under way. be
gun a few years ago by one or TWO
CONTAGIOUS pioneers, this activity Is now
moving along sane and conservative lines
with great success. The level of lot prices
still remains low, and the builders are
now realizing that there Is always
strong demand for more moderate pr1ceo
apartments in the Borough OF Manhattan
and that the Dyckman is the only place
left where any supply can be created to
ill this demand. There has been
marked Improvement In the planning ana
construction Of walk up houses during
tho last couple Of years and the builders
in the Dyckman have been clever enough
10 see that there is demand for largo
rooms In we'll built houses. There has
been about the same amount OF trading
OF buildings for lots here as IN other SEQ
tons. but in addition there has been
some actual selling for cash 10 real In
vestors.
To sum up the whole state Of affairs,

We can look back at 1912 with satisfaction.
