LEGAL STRUGGLE
FOR MICA MINES
INJUNCTION ASKED TO PREVENT
THE REMOVAL OF LAST
CHANCE ORE

Suit was filed in the district cour1
today for an injunction and restrain
ing order involving what is alleged tt
be valuable mica mine in this coun-
ty. The suit is instituted by Mary A
JOrgensOn and the Spokane & Eastern
Trust company of Spokane, trustee fol
the estate of George Lauman. The de-
PENDANTS are Gunther Carlberg, L. e.
attle, officers OF the Seattle Mica COM
pany.
1t is set forth in the complaint that
the Last Chance mining claim in the
Robinson mining district Iof Latah
county was decided by the federal gov
ernment in 1892 to Paul Mohr, George
Lauman ond Mary, Jennie and Pauline
Jorgenson, one-fifth to each. Mary
Jorgenson later acquired the interests
of Jennie and Pauline
1t is charged that the defendants en-
tered upon the property in June and
July of this year and extracted valua-
BILE mica ore, some 20 tons, which was
sold and shipped. This ore is esti-
mated to be worth from So to $13
pound. At the average of So it would
make the 20 tons worth 100000
The court is asked to restrain and
enjoin the parties from extracting ad-
ditional ore and to have the sheriff
take charge of the ore extracted and
sacked now on the property.
