injured captain up first. This required
the services of three men. his body
hanging limp between them, his up

flaming of the torch thrust out over
the rail. To every appearance 1t was

to the after cabin and disappeared

Estada had already swung himself
up into the chains, while Anderson
and Mendez were lifting the girl to
her feet, and rather roughly urging
her forward. Her eyes reflected all
the unutterable horror which for the
moment dominated her mind, while
her loosened hair, disarranged by
struggle. only served to intensity the
pallor Of her face.

shouted back Estada coarsely. 'If she

BUTTE, Mont, June IL. Many
smillions are involved and many
mining companies in the country are
affected by decision OF the United
States Supreme Court handed down
at Washington a few days ago A
body blow was delivered to all pro-
dncing companies whose use of the
Minerals Separation process involved
them in the technicalities of the
courts holding. More than two and
a half millions of dollars have been
expended in the litigation which was
ended by the Supreme Court decree
reversing the decision of the Circuit
Court of appeals at San Francisco
which held that the Minerals Separa-
tion Company's patents covered the
so-calied flotation process when
limited to the use of one half of one
per cent. or less, of oil Minerals
Separation had held that their pat
ents covered any fraction of one per
cent. The court upholds that con-
tention.
In December, 1916, the United
States Supreme Court decided in
favor of Minerals Separation. Ltd,
against Hyde. upholding the patent
of the Minerals Separation process,
which was patented in 1905 after
the discovery of the process for pro-
ducing a mineral bearing freth as the
result of the use of oil and mechan-
fcal agitation. In April. 1917. the
