HECLA-BUNKER HILL
READY WITH PROOF
BUT WON WITHOUT 1T
Tangible Evidence of Success
full Ore Treatment---Mine
and Slope Models

IT WAS NOT wholly the adverse
rulings of Judge Huneke that
caused the attorneys for e. r. Day
and Mrs. Sarah + Smith to waive
all charges of fraud and negligence
against the Hecla and Bunker Hin
They might have continued the fight
on all causes of action il they
had not feared the proof which they
knew i'm reason that defendants were
prepared to present. They probably
realized that the proof would be so
strong and indisputable that the star
deal was fair and honorable in every
particular. and that the evidence
would be SO convincing that the star
mine was of great value and Justified
the purchase price, that they preferred
to waive their charges and even
have them striker from the rec
ord rather than face certain ex-
posture at the hands of the men they
had sandered and abused. They knew
that +. w. Bradley. president of the
Bunker Hill & Sullivan, was there to
tell the whole truth and nothing but
Tie truth about the Star deal and how
nc "nnloaded" half of the Star on
Hecla; that Stanley 4. Easton. mana
ger of the Bunker Hill was also there
that James f. Mccarthy president
and manager of Hecla, who had al
ready been called by plaintiffs, was
also waiting to again be heard in be
half of himself and associate defend
ants. This is the only disappointing
feature of the. case that Hecla and
Bunker Hill were not permitted to put
in their evidence. Having won every
issue in the contest, it was unques-
tionably wise on the part of attorneys
for defendants to forego the ntrodnc-
ton of evidence since il could not add
anything to the victory; but it would
have given defendants publicity to off
set that obtained by plaintiffs. and
since they were entitled to this the
Miner will do its part toward giving
il TO them now.
