1t is evident that the West End
company looks upon the Egyptian vein
as part or leg of the California vein.
The evidence Is to the contrary SO
far as developed, conclusively SO; and
If the West End desires to show that
its contention is the correct one, II
must proceed otherwise than by cross
cutting the trachyte, as it has attempt
ed to do in this instance.
From the 4OO-level of the Extension
that company is putting up raise ON
the vein called the Egyptian FOOTWEAR
vein, the purpose Of which is to show
that this vein and the so-called Cali
fornia vein are one and the same.
This work will consume about two
weeks If continued in accordance with
the expressed intention. Under the
circumstances of the case the West
End company should do no more work
within the Egyptian lines until this
work is completed. After that the
right to its own vein should not be de-
MED the West End company; but the
position it has taken is such that any
further work on that vein within the
Egyptian lines must be open to the
inspection Of the plaintiff company
and under the supervision of the court.
i An injunction may issue at this time
continuing in force the provisions Of
the present restraining order under a
bond Of the same amount until Sep
, tember /, 1915, when modification
, will be made permitting the West End
company to continue work on the Cal
| ifornia vein subject to the inspection
of the plaintiff company and the su-
: pervision of the court, unless upon
: that date the plaintiff company shows
! that the defendant company is not en-
titled to so continue its work.

Following Is verbatim the ruling

application for an Injunction pendente
lite In the case of the Tonopah Exten-
sion Mining company against the
West End Consolidated Mining com
pany;
The evidence taken upon the hear
ing of the above-entitled matter tended
TO show, for present purposes, four
salient facts, which will be discussed
in order
The first of these is that there ex-
lists in the California claim toward the
easterly end thereof and close to the
sideline of the Egyptian claim a vein
four or five feet wide. This vein prob
ably apexes in the California claim,
which is the property of the defen-
dant company. II crosses the side-line
of that claim into the Egyptian claim,
which is the property of the plaintiff

greater generally speaking, with

The second fact is that this vein. sc
far as the evidence shows. crosses the
east end-line OF the California claim
These two facts indicate thar OF
this vein the defendant company is en-
titled to extra-lateral rights, nothing
to the contrary appearing SO far il

The third fact is that in the Egyp

company has taken considerabi

latter vein is known as the Egyptian
vein. The other is known as the Cal

COURT ISSUES INJUNCTION

the Extension ground The two veins
approach each other with depth, being
about thirty feet of each other on the
400 level Of the Extension, IN the sec
tion to which most of the evidence
was directed, and nearly sixty feet
apart along the highest measurable
parallel line above that level.
The fourth fact is that the West
End company followed down its Cali
fornia vein across the common side
line of the California and Egyptian
claims to point about 100 feet below
the point where the sideline was
crossed on the dip Of the vein, and
there fiattened out its winze, depart
ing from its California vein. according
to the contentious of the plaintiff com
pany, for the purpose of crossing to
the Egyptian vein where that vein is
about forty feet away only, on account

The defendant company attempts to
justify its course Of conduct by con-
tending that 1t was following its Cali
fornia vein on its dip; and this phase
of the controversy between the two
companies requires a decision of this
question. as to whether the West End
was still following its vein when II
hattened out its winze. In spite oi
the fact that some quartz shows be
yond the apparent true hanging wal
of the so-called California vein in th'
direction taken by the iiattened winz'
and that there are other small patches
of quartz and spots of rhodonite II

clusion is that the West End compan.
did depart from its vein and was actu
ally engaged in croscutting towar,
