An agreement has been reached be-
tween the Amalgamated Phoebe Mines
and smelters Corporation and Tom Me-
cormac wherein MIR. McCormac was
given $1,000 in settlement of a suit
heretofore pending In the United States
district court at Carson City.
The suit grew out of differences over
a lease which Mr.. McCormac claims
to have had from the Amaigamated
company in Yuba and Meadow Valley
territory and from which he had al
ready shipped several cars of ore from
the Locke stope. near the No. 5 shaft.
TN the strength of promises and as
surances of a lease Mr. McCormac
claims that he had interested the Stet-
son-Gillet people of Philadelphia. and
when the lease failed to materiaIize, he
alleges. he was dealt financial loss.
Suit was brought In the district
court OF Lincoln county by Mr.. McCor-
mae against the Amalgamated CON-
pany. the latter having later requested
n change to the United States court
which was granted. The case was sci
for trial at Carson City and was to bs
heard before a jury April 10.
compromise agreement has beer
reached. however. whereby the Anal
gamated company gives MIR. McCorma,
$1,000 In full settlement for his claim

A telegram received by the Record
from J. r. Shaug hnessy. chairman Of

vada. conveys the information that
train service on the Phoebe branch
may be temporarily discontinued be-
ginning with tomorrow. April IL. until
such time as the road can again re-
sumo steam service between Caliente
and Phoebe. This action was taken on
account of the switchmen's strikes
The message says that the railroad
company viii be required to facilitate
the service in SO far as passengers and
mobiles. In case the train service II
discontinued. but nothing certain is
known here at this time regarding the
program that will be pursued by the
company.
s. NJ. DeBolt. agent at Phoebe. dis
claims any knowledge OF the action
and says that to the best OF his knowl-
edge the switchmen In Caliente are
not on strike at this time.
The discontinuance of the train SER
vice between Pioehe and Caliente will
prove y hardship on the mining In
terests in this vicinity. cutting on their
shipments of ore for the present and
paralyxing their financial returns.
Details are not obtainable and about
the only consolation Phoebe people can
Is have will be gained through the
daily travel of automobiles between
the two points during the no-train
period

Fourteen miners walked out at the
Prince mine this afternoon, many of

there and created the dissatisfaction
among the men.

time when 1t Is almost impossible to
make ore shipments from the mine,
comes at an opportune time for the
company and no immediate steps will
