Allegation in Mining Suit
for $2,000,000.
COPPER TRUST CLAIM
Anaconda and Washoe Com
panies Defendants—Said
to Be Taking Ore.
Burdette O'Connor brought suit
against the Anaconda and Washoe Cop
pi' Mining companies in the district court
today to recover judgment for $2,000.000.
In his complaint O'Connor alleges that
he now is and has been for a long time
the owner of and entitled to the posses
sion of the Copper Trust lode mining
claim, located in this district—lying in
the immediate vicinity of the Anaconda
and St. Lawrence mines and overlapping
these claims in part—and of all the veins
and ore bodies belonging thereto
throughout their entire depth; that
while he was the owner of the Copper
Trust the defendants, without his con
sent, by means of und« rground workings
made in ami from the Anaconda, St.
Lawrence and Never Sweat claims, en
tered certain v«-ins and ore bodies of
the Copper Trust and mined and carried
away from them and converted to their
own use large quantités of valuable ore
containing gold, copper and silver,
amounting to more than 200,000 tons and
of the value of $2.000,000.
For a separate cause of action the
plaintiff alleges that there are several
mineral-bearing veins of quartz which
have their apices within the exterior
boundaries of the Copper Trust and the
apices on their downward course ex
tend in an easterly and westerly direc
tion through the entire length of the
claim, passing through both end lines;
that these veins so far depart from the
perpendicular in. their downward course
as to pass beyond the south side line of
the Copper Trust and to enter the Parrot
lode claim, the Rob ltoy, the Grant lode,
Cuespo claim, Leggat & Foster placer,
the Gladstone and the Bald Eagle, which
the defendants claim to own; that plain
tiff is the owner of these veins through
out their entire depth; that they have
been entered via the Anaconda, St. Law
rence and Never Sweat and $2,000,000
worth of ore taken by the defendants;
that defendants are still taking the
ore.
The complaint is accompanied by an
affidavit made by Thomas Rooney. In
the document Rooney says he is ac
quainted with the ground in controversy
and that the defendants are mining and
carrying away large quantities of ore
from it through the workings of the St.
Lawrence. Anaconda and Never Sweat.
Plaintiff asks for an order temporarily
restraining and enjoining the defendants
from further alleged encroachment until
the matter can he liearil in court.

lines: that the Boston & Montana has
asserted and claims an interest in the
Lucy Star, but the claim is without any
right whatever; that plaintiffs are in
formed and believe the claim of the de
fendant arises out of its claim of owner
ship of several alleged quartz lode loca
Bons which are partly or In whole in
conflict with the Lucy Star.
Plaintiffs ask that the defendant com
pany be required to set forth In court
what right, title or Interest it may claim
to have in the Lucy Star, and that they,
plaintiffs, be adjudged the owners of the
property.
COURT NOTES.
Judge Lindsay tried two or three ap
peal suits today, but the winners did not
gain much save the satisfaction of
achieving victory.
Tn the action entitled Peter McCabe vs.
Alike Fleming, an action involving $22,
tlie plaintiff was given a verdict. An
amusing incident occurred during the
trial. In cases of this nature neither side
is allowed to submit testimony until the
costs are secured. E. O. Jackson appear-
ed for tile plaintiff and when called upon
by tlte clerk to pay ltis proportion of tite
stenographer's fee promptly responded,
but B. J. English on the other side was
not so prompt. The plaintiff put in his
testimony and tlte defendant went to the
bat. \iut the judge would not allow hint to
go ahead until the fee was paid.

COAL WASHERS.
Engineering & Mining Journal: An evi
dent disposition exists in the west to in
trodin-c improve monts in the coal mines
as well as In other mines, and especially
to provide for a local supply of proper
fuel for the smelters anil other metallur
gical establishments. Tito high cost of
transportation has always made coke an
expensive fuel, and to this Is now added
Die high price of tin- fuel in the east and
tlte difficulty of securing sufficient sup
lilies promptly. An institut of this ten
dency is found in the establishment of a
large coalswashing piant, at tite Belt
mines in Montana, Which arc owned by
the Anaconda <'opper company. The ad
vantages of w ashing coal before cooking
it bate been sufficiently established. The
putting of the coal Into better shape for
the coke-ovens, and freeing it to a gn*nt
extent front sulphur and other impurities
which detract from üs valu«', have been
shown to pay well where it lias ho"n
done, in the south, especially in Ala
bama. a V« ry large pnqiortion of 111 - roil
is now washed—including nearly all that
which is to be made into coke—and the
process is accepted as a necessary opera
tion in coke making, and to a consider
able extent also in preparing coal for the
market. Its extension still further would
pi obably prove very beneficial 1 ** the coal

COPPER SHARES
Advances Today in the Boston
Market.
OPINION OF AN EXPERT
A Lake Superior Man's Encouraging
View of the Situation.
A break in th«' slump in copper share's
was reached today, and tlte market
showed a. tendency for recovery. Frac
tional gains were recorded in some of
the securities, and others held firm at
the points of the preceding day's quota
tions. Lake Superiors were the feature.
Amalgamated opened at $80-1V. points
above yesterday's close, and quit trad
ing at $79. No dealing in Anaconda;
$34 % being bid at the close, with $36
asked. Butte &- Boston touched $45 and
dropped back to $43, and Bingham held
steady at $10. C'alumbt &- Heela, closing
at $710 yesterday, recorded an advance
of 10 points. Mohawk touched $16, and
Old Dominion fluctuated between $21
and $20. Osceola readied $70 early in
the day. Parrot opened at $37 and closed
a half point off. Santa Fe gained a frac
tion. and Tamarack made a spurt from
$175 to $179.25. Utah ('on opened at $25
and closed a point lower. Following are
today's closing quotations:
AMALGAMATED ................$ 79 00

Tn an interview with President John
Stanton of t'he Atlantic anrl Oliver Lake
Superior companie.s regarding the copper
situation, the Boston News Bureau
quotes him as saying;
"I anticipate the price of copper for
1899 will be found to have averaged a lit
tle over 16 cents a pound, as compared
with a trille over 12 cents for 1898. The
outlook for 1900 is in no way discourag
ing, as the consumptive demand contin
ues without abatement.
"The entrance of new and strong finan
cial interests into the copper industry
should have a steadying effect. 1 do not
expect to see the Amalgamated people
relpeat the mistakes of Secretan. If
they cannot get 17 cents for copper they
will probably take 16 cents.
"Looking at the situation from a broad
standpoint, there is nothing to be fi-lgiht
jened over. Stocks have been forced on
the market by those unable to respond
to the calls for margin. This naturally
six'causes uneasiness in the speculative situ
altinib but the investor and the matt in
position to pay for ltis stocks outright,
has nothing to fear, as general conditions
are sound."
The same paper says:
Banking houses declare emphatically
that President Bigelow and his associ
ates have sold 15,000 shares of Boston & 1
Montana to the Standard Oil Copper J

established, and that Boston & Montana j
