WALLACE MEN FIGURE IN
MINING CASE At BUTTE
PROMINENT IN FAMOUS
LITIGATION.

The supreme court of the United
States has denied the application for
a writ of certiorari by the Butte e.
Superior company in its litigation
with the Clark Montana Realty COM
pany, commonly known as the Elm
Orlu- Black Rock case. The case is
one of great interest to mining men
generally and is locally interesting
from the fact that John p Gray is
leading counsel for the Clark Mont
ana Realty company, of which Sena-
tor Clark is the head, and Rush ].
White, mining engineer of this city,
was an important factor for the Clark
side, working in cooperation with the
late Fred Green. Mr.. White now has
charge of the preparation of the case
for Senator Clark in the issue that
ship of much valuable ground beneath
that involved in the first case. Mr.
White is now in Butte engaged on this
coming case.
Priority Rights.
One Of the main points of conten-
ton in the hearing before Judge Bour-
quin in the federal court in Butte was
that Of priority Of mining rights The
Elm Orlu was the first located. The
Black Rock. however, went to patent
first. Judge Bourquin held that the
prior location took precedence. The
Pyle vein, which is within Elm Orlu
ground, does not come to the surface,
although it's existence was established
1t was contended that this vein united
with the Rainbow vein below the LOO
level, and that If this could be shown
1t would give the Elm Orlu under
prior rights much valuable ore below
that point.
Judge Bourquin did not pass on
the matter of the uniting of the veins
further than to leave that to further
development
This is the question that Is to be
determined in the trial soon to be cal
led and to which Mr. White is now
giving his attention on behalf Of Sena-
tor Clark and in which Mr.. Gray is
chief counsel

The unfortunate condition in which
find themselves is due to the abnor-
NAL demand for the metal and the
high prices that prevailed during the
first two years of the war. Prior to
the war the great zinc reduction
works Of Belgium and Germany drew
their supply of ore from Australia,
Mexico, Spain and other zinc produc-
ing countries, and from these plants
the countries of Europe received sup
plies of the metal. The war immed-
lately placed these smelling plants out
of commission, and the allies were at
once made dependent upon the United
States for zinc to meet the tremend-
Gus demands by the hurried manufac-
ture Of munitions of war. The allies
had to have zinc and copper for the
manufacture of Shells and at the same
time American manufacturers were
awarded shell contracts that stagger-
ed the imagination. Zinc must be
had without regard to price; in fact,
the price was steadily advanced as
a means of encouraging production.
The inevitable result was the open
ing of new mines and the building of
new zinc smelters. In the meantime
England lost no time in the construc-
tion of her own smelters to-handle the
zinc from Australia and her other
colonies and about the time the Unit
ed States entered the war England
was in position to supply her own
demands for zinc. American zinc
producers who had expected the de-
claration of war by this country to be
Immediately followed by an even
stronger demand for zinc then realiz-
ed that the foreign demand had large
ly disappeared and that they were
practically dependent upon the dom
estic market, which was far from suf-
ficient to absorb the output The
price of zinc tumbled and has now
reached a point that permits an ade-
quate profit to only the more favored
producers. Hence the action of the
zinc miners toward the discovery OF
new uses for the metal.

But the Non partisan league, the
organization that is made up Of that
particular class who clamored longest
and loudest for an election law that
would "let the people rule" is not so
punctilious in it's observance. In fact,
the leader of the organization in Idaro
publicly outlines the plan by which
the partisan league will evade the
law. Here is the plan as given by
Scholz:
partisan county conventions
will endorse candidates for the legis-
lature," says Mr.. Scholz. "They will
not nominate candidates, they will in
dorse them. If the candidates so in
dorsed are nominated on either the re-
publican or democratic ticket they will
receive the support of the members
of the non -partisan league. If they
are not nominated by either of the
old parties,- the names will go on the
official ballot through action of the
league"

BLOODED CATTLE SOLD, DOVER
Judge Hastings Sells Forty one Head
of HOlsteins For S9435.

One of the largest and most sue
cessful sales of pure bred cattle ever
held in this State was held Wednes-
day, at Homestead Farm, west of
Dover, when former Judge Daniel o.
Hastings, of Wilmington, owner of the
farm, sold his surplus stock of blood
ed Holsteins. FOrty-One head of
thoroughbred cattle, including many
calves, were sold for $9,435, an aver
age Of $3.50 per head. This is regard
ed as an excellent showing. Judge
Hastings retains 80 head of thorough
bred Holsteins in his herd after We'd
nesday. Colonel Perry, of Columbus,
Ohio, was the auctioneer, and at the
outset made a patriotic speech, which
elected applause. He said that in the
past fifteen days he has conducted
sales of pure bred cattle in Fourteen
States, and he predicted much higher
prices for blooded cows in the near
future, because of European con-
ditiOns. He urged farmers to buy
pedigreed stock for their sons and
daughters, not only as a profitable in
vestment, but also to aid in raising
the standard of cattle in Delaware
The sale was held in a large tent
and was attended by nearly 500 per-
sons from several States. One of the
bidders was Peter Small, of Chester
town, Ohio, one of the foremost breed
ers of thoroughbred Holsteins anC
owner of one of the most valuabl,
herds of Holsteins in the Unite,
States.
The highest price was brought by
five-months-old heifer, which was sol,
for $500. The mother of the heife
sold for $4O0. Bull calves sold for a
high as 1926. The greater portion o

to Ask General Assembly.
Residents of Western Appoquini-
mink hundred will ask Walter E.
Hart, Representative-elect, and J.
Edward Latter, Senator-elect, to make
an effort to have passed at the coming
session of the General Assembly a re-
solution favOring an appropriation for
a stone road from the end of the stone
road at Taylor's Corner, one mile west
of Townsend, to the Maryland line at
what is known as the Coal Well Cor
ner, a distance of about four miles.
This road is used as an outlet for a
vast amount of traffic coming from all
points on the Eastern Shore on Mary
land. 1t is also used extensively by
farmers, as there is a cannery for
tomatoes and corn at each end of the
road and a milk station at Townsend,
to which hundreds of gallons of milk
are taken daily. Farmers of this sec
tiOn say they have paid taxes for
years, and as every other hundred in
New Castle county has a stone road
to the Maryland line, they think this
road should also be stoned. 1t would
also increase the value of their farms
greatly.

RED CROSS TO "CARRY ON"
THO PEACE IS DECLARED
MILLIONS SICK AND WOUNDED
TO RECEIVE AID FOR SOME TIME
American Red Cross War Council is
Urging all Red Cross Chapters to
Carry on Their Work of Mercy


Urging all Red Cross Chapters to
Carry on Their Work of Mercy
The American Red Cross War Coun-
Gil has issued an appeal to Smyrna |
and all Red Cross Chapters to
GARRY ON" The statement says:-
"On February tenth last year, near
ly six weeks before the United States
declared war, National Red Cross
Headquarters advised its Chapters to
prepare for war. That which was fol-
lowed, in the record of the Red Cross
in helping to win this war and to re-
lieve the suffering growing out of it,
must bring to Red Cross workers a
deep sense of gratitude for their share
in it all.
"The moment is now come to pre-
pare for peace. Actual peace may
come at any hour; it may be deferred
for some time. Until peace is really
here, there can be no relaxation in any
Red Cross effort incident to active
hostilities.
"But even with peace, let no one
suppose that the work of the Red
Cross is finished. Millions of Ameri-
can boys are still under arms. Thous-
ands of them are sick and wounded
Owing to the shortage of shipping, it
may take year or more to bring our
boys home from France. But, what
ever the time, our protecting arms
must be about them and their families
over the whole period which must
elapse before the normal life of peace
can be resumed.
"Our soldiers and sailors are enlist
ed until the Commander in Chief tells
them there is no more work for them
to do in the war. Let every Red
Cross member and worker show our
returning happiness, we are enlisted
with them to the end.
"The cessation of war will reveal q
picture of misery such as the wOrlC
has never seen before, especially in
the many countries which cannot hell
themselves. The American people
will expect the Red Cross to continue
to act as their agent in repairing
broken spirits and broken bodies
Peace terms and peace conditions vii
determine how we may best minister
to the vast stricken areas which have
been narrowed by war, and in thi.
great act of mercy, the heart anC
: spirit of the American people mus

4 "On behalf of the Red Cross Wa
Council, we accordingly ask eacl
member of our splendid body of work
ers throughout the land to bear il
mind the solemn obligations whic
rests upon each one to CARRY ON
We cannot abate one instant in our et
forts or in our spirit. There will b
an abundance of work to do, specifl
advices will be given, but even at tn
a moment of peace let no Red Cros
4 worker falter.
