MARSH TRY ENTER HECLA
BY WAY GERTIE TUNNEL
FIRST MOTION DENIED BY JUDGE
DElTRlCH-HEAR SECOND
ON DECEMBER %.

The application of the Marsh Mines
company for an order from the United
States court permitting it to enter the
workings of the Hecla mine and raise
on the east vein" for the purpose of
proving its contention that this vein
has its apex in the Russell claim un-
der lease to the Marsh. was denied by
Judge DIETRICH at Boise last Monday.
This was practically the same appli-
cation that was made by the Federal
Mining & Smelling company during
the tendency of the litigation over the
same question of apex and which was
denied by Judge DIETRICH For that
reason his ruling on the Marsh appli-
cation was fully anticipated Ac-
cording to report from Boise by way
OF Spokane, the Marsh company i'm
mediately filed another application for
permission TO raise on this vein in
dispute from new crosscut tunnel
which it proposes to drive if the or
der is granted. Judge DIETRICH will
hear argument on this application on
December o.
May Crosscut From Gertie Tunnel
In the absence of any information
regarding the purposes of the Marsh
with respect to this application. it is
presumed that if granted the plan is
to crosscut from the Gertie tunnel
the elevation of which is about 100
feet above Hecla No. tunnel Con-
trary to popular understanding. the
Gertie tunnel and the main Marsh
tunnel have practically the same ele-
walton. but to reach the vein in dis
pute from the Marsh tunnel would re-
quire driving a crosscut about 1900
feet, while it appears from the maps
that No. tunnel could be reached
from the Gertie tunnel in about $50
feet by a crosscut extending to the
end of the drift in the Iron Side claim
From the end of No. back to the
raise made by the Hecla is probably
200 feet, and access to this raise is
probably the purpose of the Marsh i'm
making this application. If this move
should be successful. the plan of the
Marsh would doubtless be to begin at
the point in the raise where Marsh
the Hecla left the vein and
follow the vein upwards and then by
drifting to connection with the Rus
sell shaft, about $50 feet northwest Of
the raise.

In order to accommodate both par
ties to the litigation, Judge DIETRICH

dence was in. The argument was
made at Occur d'Alene on December 8.
Attorneys for the Star Mining com
pany were John p. Gray, of Occur

PINE CREEK RAILROAD
TO BUILD IN THE SPRING
O.-W. r. & N. COMPANY TO BUILD
UNDER A GUARANTEED
TONNAGE.

The Miner has built good many
paper railroads up Pine creek. and is
still hopeful that it will eventually be
able to point with pride to a real rail-
read in that rich section and claim
credit for at least assisting in its con-
struction The miners having failed
to secure rail transportation, the task
was last summer taken over by u
lumberman, Fred Herrick, head of the
Milwaukee Lumber company, which
has large timber holdings on the west
fork of Pine creek. Mr.. Herrick ar
ranged with the O.-W r. e n.
company to extend the track from
the end of the present twO-mile
branch up to the forks of the creek,
about three miles, and thence about
four miles up the west fork to the
Milwaukee timber holdings. After the
usual time required to get action, the
railroad officials higher up finally APP
proved of the agreement and al
though late in the fall, it is under
stood that Mr.. Herrick was prepared
TO proceed with the construction and
complete it this year.

CASE

Review
THE FINAL DECISION
Determining the Amount and
Value of Ore Removed and
Fixing Award Next Move

i"HE FINAL ruling in the case OF
the star Mining company VS..
the Federal Mining & Smelling
company was made last Mon
Gay. when the supreme court of the
United States denied the application
for a writ of certiorari and thereby
affirmed the decision of the court of
appeals at San Francisco in favor of
the Star. having reversed the deci-
sion of Judge DIETRICH, of the United
States court for the district of Idaho.
before whom the case was tried in
this city. This decision ends the lit
igation. which has been among the
most notable mining cases in the
west. and the next move will be to fix
the amount the Star company is en-
titled to recover from the Federal on
account of ores removed from star
ground. This will doubtless require
considerable time, as it will involve
making a close estimate of the
amount of ore removed. its mineral
contents, the cost of mining, milling
and smelter treatment etc, for the
purpose of arriving at the net value
which will be the amount to which
the Star will be entitled. The hearing
of evidence on the various questions
that enter into the appraisement will
be before Judge DIETRICH or some one
designated to act for the court, and
will probably be as complicated as
the original trial of the case.

The Complaint.

The original action was started on
March ,, 1917 when the Star Mining
company filed its complaint against
the Federal Mining e Smelling COM
pany in the federal court at Boise.
The complaint was a lengthy docu-
ment. but Invested of its legal form il
charged that the Federal company. in
the course of its operations in the
Morning mine, had entered into the
Evening Star and Mary r. Fraction
claims, the property of the plaintiff.
and had knowingly and wrongfully
removed therefrom a large amount of
ore, exceeding in value 100000 II
was further charged that the Federal
company was still engaged in mining
this ore and the court was asked to
issue an order restraining the de-
PENDANT from so doing during the
tendency of the action, and that
judgment be entered in favor of the
plaintiff company for the fun value of
the ore removed and for interest and
costs

Would Divide Traffic.

AS usual with the construction of
railroads in Pine creek, something
generally happens at the critical mo-
ment 10 stop the enterprise, and the
Herrick railroad was no exception. As
Mr.. Herrick was to build the railroad
provide the rolling stock and assume
all responsibility of operation. he
naturally expected to gather in the
dollars for such transient business as
might come his way. He evidently
overlooked the two miles of rusty rails
laid by the O.-W r. & n. company
and which would perforce be part
of the Pine creek system. and there
fore entitle the O.-W r. & n. com
Dany to a pro rata share of the re-
ceipts. based upon mileage owned 1t
appears that Mr. Herrick recognized
at once the force of the argument,
but denied its fairness. cOntending
that if he built equipped and operat-
ed the Pine creek railroad. he was en-
titled to all the emoluments of the
service. and refused to recognize any
rights based on the two miles Of
track which he had reconstructed. 1t
was right at that point that Pine
creek lost another railroad

Company May Build.

Since the Herrick deal was declar-
ed off. an engineer of the railroad
company has looked over the propos
ed lumber line, and through him it
is learned that new line of negotia
ton had been taken up which prom
ises to result in putting the road
through next spring. 1t appears that
the Milwaukee Lumber company is
very anxious to begin moving timber
from the west fork. and that a rail-
road is a necessity. Under these cir
cumstances it became necessary for
Manager Herrick to reopen negOtia-
tions with the O.-W r. & n. com
pany. with the result that according
to information received from Pine
creek this week. the railroad com
pany will proceed as soon as practic-
able in the spring to construct a rail-
road to the Milwaukee timber four
miles up from the forks and that this
will be done in consideration Of a
guaranteed tonnage from the lumber
company
