West End-Jim Butler
Another phase of the controversy
between the Jim Butler and West
End mining companies developed on
Thursday of this week when the
former company secured a writ of
attachment against the West End
company.
The writ was served on the Of
fcers Of the West End company at
noon, but no attempt was made to
take physical possession of the mine
at that time.
Horatio Alling, of counsel for the
West End company, was in Tonopah
and Immediately got busy in an en-
deavor to have the attachment lift
ed. On Friday morning he filed a no
tice of a motion to discharge the
writ, and secured an order shorten
ing time and the matter is being
argued before the court as we go to
press.
In an interview Mr.. Alling gave
the following brief synopsis of the
proceedings to date:
Last March the Jim Butler COM
pany brought action against the
West End company and alleged that
" W. M lol +olyo, o,f Of pnf-
r ground $780, 900 worth of ore,
and claiming damages to that
amount. They also asked that this
amount be tripled under the statute
allowing double for trespass, n If
the trespass is malicious, then triple
damages may be allowed.
1t was the contention of the West
End company hal they crossed the
side line into the Butler ground in
following their main ledge, the ape
of which was the basis of the West
Ends claim of original discovery.
The counter contention of the But
Ter people was hat the apex claimed
by the West End vas an anticline
rather than a terminal ledge from
which, as a matter of law, no extra
lateral rights would follow.
The Butler company at the time
of commencement of the suit, Sc
cured a restraining order and after
wards a pendente lite injunction
against the West End from following
the vein in the Butler ground be
low the east half of the Apex claim.
The restraining order did not pre-
vent the West End from following
the rein in Butler ground below the
west half of the apex claim for the
reason that the Butler company in
1912 had by contract granted to the
West End the right to pursue the
vein in their ground below that por-
tinn of the anaX.
