DRIVE RESIDENTS FIGHT.
TWILIGHT SLEEP HOME.
Injunction Sought to Prevent
Use Of Property as a
Sanitarium.

Residents OF Riverside Drive in the
~neighborhood Of Seventy-second street
are aroused over the opening of the
New York Home of Twilight Sleep at 3
Riverside Drive. and have appealed to
the courts for an Injunction on the
ground that the use of the property as
a sanitarium Is "A violation OF the re-
strictive covenant under which the
property was sold.
The suit was fled yesterday by Angie
NJ. Booth. who owns 4 Riverside Drive.
and Mary 7. Sutphen. whose property
at al West Seventy-second street abuts
on . Riverside Drive in the rear. They
named as defendants the Waterside Land
Corporation and DIR. William II. Yelling
ton knipe.
The complaint states that John s.
Sutphen. who died in 1900. acquired all
the property in the block between Sew
enty-second Seventy-third streets
under a covenant prohibiting the Use of
any of the lane for any mandatory
trade. business or calling in any way
dangerous. oXiou or offensive to the
neighboring Inhabitants He sold the
property for high class residential pur-
poses. for the purpose of inducing
wealthy ana scIcCt IdI1illeS tO, puTCnAfO
and live there" The two plaintiffs sub
sequently acquired their property from
Mr.. Sutphen or his heirs.
The complaint alleges that on July 2,
1914. the Waterside Land Corporation
bought 3 Riverside Drive from William
Guggenheim and OF July 3. 1915. 1t was
leased to DIR. Knipe for FIVE years to be
used as "A sanitarium. DIR. Knipe took
possession on August Is and has since
used the property as a private hospital
The plaintiffs say DIR. Knipe "is de-
veloping on said premises what is known
as twilight sleep. a new system of treat
ment in connection with the birth OF
children. which has been much exploited
in the public eye"
The plaintiffs also say that "suct
premises threaten by virtue OF such oc-
cupancy to become notorious as tn,
New York Home Of Twilight Sleep and
said use and occupation are al invasion
OF the privacy and rights of the plain
tins" They notified DR.. Knipe on Sep
TENDER 80 hat they objected to his place
but he continued to use 1t as a hospital
THE business Is noxious and offensive
to the ~neighboring land owners. and par
%ticularly these plaintiffs" concludes thu
complaint. The peace and quiet of tn,
neighborhood is disturbed and the US,
and enjoyment OF the respective resi-
dences violated by reason OF the public
nature and general character Of tn,

WAsHiNGroS. Dec. 2e.-The metal
mines OF the Rocky Mountain states
have had a year Il activity In many
respects never before equslled. The pre-
liminnry statistics OF ri Oduction reported
from the Denver and Salt Lake city
offices Of the United States Geological
Survey indicate "a marked increase In the
outpu; OF each State over the production
Of 1914.
While the tonnage Of ore mined was
generally greater the large Increase in
total value was the result OF higher
prices for the metals This Increase In
value Of output over the corresponding
figures for 1914 reached ST per cent.
for Montana and so per cent. for New
Mexico. The total OF these notable In
creases for the six states Is estimated
at more than Sis. 900 900.
In Montana there WAS an increase In
the mining Of all the metals. but espe-
cially Of lead and zinc. Even o. silver
.the output OF about 1.i50.000 ounces
was a record breaker. The output OF
gold was valued at nearly 5000, 900. an
increase OF more h 20 per cent. over
1914.
Montana's greatest asset Is copper. the
output OF which increased from 233.229.-
$40 pounds in 1874 to nearly 275.000.o 900
pounds in 1915. The output Of lead in

1914 to ls4.0S6. 900 pounds In 1915. The
total value OF the fve metals from
Montana mines in 1915 was nearly
100000.
In Colorado the mines output figures
show n yield for the year OF 2 1880 900
In gold. 1850. 900 ounces of silver. &c.
$4,000 pounds Of lead. 100000 pounds
OF copper and 100. 0O0. 600 pounds OF
zinc. with a total value of f43. 100. 900.
This Ia an increase Of s2,441.0 900 In gold.
a decrease OF l.716.000 ounces of silver
and 1.j50.000 pounds OF lead. but an in
| crease OF 30S. 900 pounds of copper and
100000 pounds of zinc.
With the increased average value of
metals except silver the values show a
decrease OF 81 .3sO.0O0 for silver. an in

of $4,000 for copper and an increase
OF ss.065. 900 for zinc. The net increase
