CHARGED in PETITION
FOR RECEIVER FOR CON. COPPER

Martin w. Littleton of New York,
representing Colonel Enos A. Wall
of Salt Lake, applied to the United
States court at Wilmington, Della
ware, last Thursday, for the appoint
ment of a receiver for the Consoli-
dated Coppermines company, with
White Pine County News.
The complaint in the a was
drawn by Judge w. H. King of Salt
Lake and covers thirty closely writ
typewriter pages. 1t goes at
length into the history of the Ely
companies that were in May, 1913,
merged into the defendant company.
In the complaint Colonel Wall de-
clares that at the time of the merger
he was a stakeholder in two of the
companies included in it, owning
$500 shares of the capital stock of
the Giroux Consolidated Mines COM
pany and $500 shares of the capital
stock of the Butte & Ely Copper
company.
The complaint charges, on infor-
nation and belief, that Cole and
Thompson wrongfully c%onspired to-
gether for the purpose of obtaining
the ownership and control ultimate
ly of all of the properties and par
ticularly of all mining claims owned
by the Giroux and Butte companies;
hot in nrrrclonno IF tho nnnCniroa NJ
Cole and Thompson caused the Con-
solidated company to be organized.
that they might use it as an instru-
ment for the acquisition of the cap
ital stock of these companies; that
they represented to the stockholders
of the Giroux, Butte. Coppermines
and Chairman companies that a con
solidation of these companies was
necessary and that without it the
properties of the Giroux and Butte
companies would be OF little, if any,
value and could not be prOfitably
worked; that unless a consolidation
vas effected all work upon the Gil
roux and Butte mining claims must
be suspended and said corporations
go into the hands of a receiver, but
that if combined, the properties
could be p%rofitably worked and that
the GirouX and Butte were without a
sufficient water supply for reducing
their ores.
Complaint also charges that while
d~isparaging the Giroux and Butte
properties, Cole and Thompson repre-
sented the mining claims of the Cop
per mines and Chairman companies
to be of great value because of their
alleged large and rich deposits of ore.
After setting forth the terms of the
consolidation agreement under which
the stock of the constituent %organiza-
lions was to be exchanged for that
of the consolidated concern, and re-
viewing some of the financial %transac-
tons in connection Herewith, the
complaint charges hat defendants
wrongfully and in pursuance of their

alleged conspiracy purchased for the
Consolidated the New Ely Central
Mining company's property, which
the plaintiff charges is of no value.
1t is also charged that the defend
ants, Cole and Thompson, controlling
the board of directors of the Butte
company, took from the treasury of
the Butte company $780, 900 belong
ing to the Consolidated and Giroux
companies to the injury and damage
of both Butte and Giroux stockhold-
ers.
The complaint asks for the return
of his Giroux and Butte stock, and
that the same decree be entered in
favor of all other stockholders of the
two companies similarly situated;
that defendants be restrained from
selling the bonds of the Consolidated
company, mourning any further debts
or encumbering the properties of any
of the constituent companies; that
the court decree the Consolidated
company to have been illegally or
gained; that it was and is a fraud
upon the stockholders of Giroux and
Butte, and that it be dissolved and
it's business wound up as an insolvent
corporation; and that to this end a
receiver be named to take posses
sion of all it's property and assets.
The defendants named in the com-
plant are the Consolidated Copper
mines company, Giroux Consolidated
Mines company, Butte & Ely Copper
company, Chairman Consolidated
Copper company, New Ely Central
Mining company, Guaranty Trust
company of New York and Thomas
F. Cole, William b. Thompson, Chas.

Erastus F.. Tefft and w. Hinkle
Smith.
Referring to the suit, the president
of the Consolidated Coppermines
company has issued the following
statement:
This suit is brought on misrepre-
sentation of facts, and, in the opin-
ion of counsel, the las is without
merit. The bringing of the suit is to
be regretted because of unnecessary
notoriety, annoyance and expense in
volved, but the situation, in the opin-
ion of the management of the COM
pany, is not such as need give stock
holders any particular anxiety or
concern.
THE company proposes to con-
tinue the prosecution of it's plans of
proving up and extending develop
ment of existing orebodies, thereby
increasing the proven tonnage with
a view of completing financing at an
early date, and determining the char
acter and size of parts required to
put the property on a paying basis
as soon as possible, considering the
present disturbed conditions of the
times and money market

value over that of 1912. There are
no exports or imports of soapstone.
but some tale is imported from Can
ada and small amount is exported.
With large supplies of tale and soap
stone and an increasing demand the
tale and soapstone industry is likely
to experience continued expansion for
some time to come, although keen
competition is greatly reducing the
profits.

AMERICA LEADS WITH
TAlC AND SOAPSTONE

America leads he world in the
production of tale and soapstOne,
and yet most Americans are far from
approaching how much of the Joy
and comfort as we'll as the success
of life depends on the use of tale
to smooth the rough places n les
sen friction OF all kinds. The cool
and soothing toilet powder used by
nearly everybody from the cradle to
the grave is made of tale, which also
absorbs grease from silks and other
fabrics, bleaches cotton cloth, and
cleans up things generally.
The demand for tale is steadily
growing in the United States and
the production has responded. The
largest amount of tale is used in the
manufacture of paper of many kinds,
from roofing to writing paper, not
simply to give it body and weight but
to improve the quality of the paper,
give it a smooth finish, and make
it better adapted to receive print
ers' ink.
The total output of tale in the
United States in 1913 was 1927
tons, valued at $1,28O,O20, a gain
of nearly IL per cen in quantity and
more than 16 per cent in value as
compared with that of 1912. New
York is not only the banner state in
the production of tale, but in 1913
it had the largest output of it's his
tory, exceeding by 10000 tons the
largest previous annual production.
With the exception of a small
amount (952 tons) produced in Cal
ifOrnia, the entire output of tale in
the United States comes from a COM
paratively narrow belt of crystalline
rocks running through the Atlantic
states from New York to Georgia
Vermont ranks next to New York in
production and PENNSYLVANIA is third,
followed by North Carolina, which
produces both tale and pyrophyillite.
Virginia, Massachusetts, New Jersey
and Georgi =. are next in the order of
production.
These statements are based on a
report by ]. S. Diler just issued by
luc OHltCu OIdIcS HcOiOSlCdi survey
as a part of Mineral Resources,
1913" The report gives special at
tention to the recently investigated
tale deposit of California. which is
remarkable for it's %whiteness. Like
the tale of New York. that of south
eastern California is in large measure
derived from tremolite schist asso-
ciated with limestone, but the indica-
tions of present developments do not
justify the belief that the California
deposits are as extensive either hori-
zontally or vertically as the deposits
in New York.
Soapstone is used FIR making laun-
dry tubs, griddles and the like, and
the industry is for the most part dis
tinct from the tale industry, although
one company in Virginia produces
both soapstone and tale. -Four
states-Rhode Island, North Caro-
lima, Vermont and neutrality-suspicious.

ducers. has an output many times as
large as all the others combined. The
total output of soapstone in this
country in 1912 was 26.562 tons. val
ned at $628.077. This is a gain of
5S1 toms in quantity and $1S,597 in

SOUTH IDAHO is BIG.

in area and in spirit 1t is big
enough to do many things that it is
too big to do.
On Jan LIST, Judge Truitt who fill
ing out Judge Ailshie's unexpircd
term on the Supreme Bench, will go
out of office. 1t is a well known fact
that both Judge Ailshie and Judge
Truitt are north Idaho men. On Nov
3rd,, the voters Of Idaho will elect
Judge TRUTHS successor. William M
Morgan of Moscow is north Idaho'S
candidate for the place. Unless he is
elected all of that territory north Of
Boise will be without representation
on the Supreme Bench.
You would not Slight one section
of your farm and you certainly will
not slight one section of YOUR state.
The Map Tells The Story.
If you believe that north Idaho
should have studious, modest, bril-
liant patriotic unseltish man who has
proven himself to be a devoted public
servant, uncompromising for the right,
learned in the law, incorruptable and
fearless lawyer, then vote for William
M, Morgan for Justice of the Supreme
Court. His name will appear in the
non-partiSan Judicial column in the
sixth column of the ballot.
South Idaho is big enough to take
this Office and we believe it is big
enough not to do it.

IGNORANCE OR PERJURY.

Caldwell, Idaho, Oct. 81, 1914
To Whom 1t May Concern:
This is to certify that | have
made personal examination of the
records as contained in the Assess
ment Rolls for the years 1912, 1913
and 1914, and that according to said
records the furniture in the Dewey
Palace at Nampa has not been as
sessed for any of the above years.

Subscribed and sworn to before me
this 21st day of October. 1914.
D. D. HARGER,
(SeaD Probate Judge
In the above affidavit an attempt is
made to create the impression that
certain property has not been assessed.
The afficant takes oath that he can
not find certain furniture assessed
against the owner of the Dewey Pal
ace. We do not know whether this
party who is an employee in County
Treasurer's office is lacking familiarity
with the records or is simply willing
to periure himself for political rea-
sons. We have made personal exam
nation of the matter in question, and
will refer this gentleman as we'll as the
voters to examine line on page 200
of the 1914 roll and observe that the
sum of $4,000 on furniture is assessed
TO the owner of the property in ques-
ton.

County.
During the past eighteen months
Miss Fowler has saved in actual ex-
pense to the taxpayers of Canyon
county in the administration of her
office, $2,2579S, which is shown on the
records OF the county.
This saving has been accomplished
by economy in purchasing supplies
by elimination of unnecessary expense
and by close attention to the details
OF th> work as county superintend-
ent.
The same conscientious application
to the duties of their office by all the
public officials would soon solve the
tax problem in Idaho and by atten-
ton to the inpumerable little leaks. the
big drain on the taxpayers of the
county would be quickly stopped
Miss Fowler is a candidate for re-
election and not only deserves the
support of all interested in reducing
expenditures of public funds but will
no doubt receive such endorsement
and be reelected by a large majority.

college was not to be denied scoring
a touchdown in four or five plays,
Harvey doing most of the work and
scoring. Sherman kicked goal and
again Boise elected to receive the
kickoff. Again they failed to gain
and kicked and the college marched
straight down for another touch

Boise missed goal. In the last quar-
ter Peterson forgot to play the man
instead of the ball and Boise got away
with her only successful forward pass
of the day Sherman tackled the man
the second he received the ball, and
the ball being fumbled, rolled over the
goal line, Boise player falling on it.
The college was so certain that the
play would be ruled an incomplete
forward pass that they made no effort
to recover the bali The play could
have been called either way.
With four minutes to play Boise
kicked off and the college taking the
ball on their own IS yard line, walked
right down the field to Bosses one
yard line when the whistle sounded
the end Of the game.
Harvey, MoClannahan, Siedenbcrg
and Ross were the big ground gamers,
and Harding made 80 yards on a for
ward pass from Fisk. McClannahan
and Ross were always good for two
or three wards in a pinch and Har-
vey and Siedenberg each got away
with several Is yard runs, frequently
getting through to the safety. The
soft ground seriously handicapped the
college in their effort to play fast:
The college defense against forward
passes, Fisk, Turner, and Peterson,
did good work, Boise getting but one
successful pass. The college made six.
The college team was: Harding, lie;
Harvey, 1t; McClannahan, lg; Tur-

Ross, f: Siedenberg, rh. This team
has an average weight of about SO or
Isl pounds. The supp orters of the
Boise players claim l53 average for

differ much in weight.
