IN HIGH COURT

BUTTE, Mont, Jan. %. Victor
les and adverses taking turns in de
Gliding the fortunes of George Camp
bell Carson, San Francisco inventor
and today adversely held the win
ming hand.
This time the setback was in the
form of a decision handed down
here yesterday by L. IS. Judge
George Bourquin, who ruled in fav-
Oh of the Anaconda Copper Mining
Co.. defendant in a suit that was
part of Il legal campaign to win
more than Slj,000.000 in royalties
for Carson.
Years ago Carson was a prospect
or i'll Nevada. Like most prospect
org, adverses came to him far more
often than victories. Then, he turn
ed to Invention, and after much re-
search work announced that he had
perfected new copper smelling
process. 1t seems that the old pros
pector s luck had changed.
But so far Carson S invention has
brought him more trouble than dol
lars.
Recently success seemed within
his grasp when he scored a tremen-
dous victory, placing within his
reach some $20,000,000 in royalties,
when the United States supreme
court upheld IL long and bitterly
fought series of lower court actions
in which Carson had won verdicts
against the American Smelling and
refining Company.
Now adversely has come again.
But the court decision is only one
phase of Carson's fight for mil,
lions of dollars and success, and the
aged prospector will carry on. He
announced today through attorneys
that the ease would be appealed.
