SALTED MINE IS SUITS BIG FILL COMPLETED FOR REOPENING OF EAST STARK STREET DASIS FOR Counter Actions Begun by the Promoters and Machinery Company. EACH ACCUSED BY OTHER History or Rise and Fall of Coal Creek Placer Bonanzas in Clack amas County Furnished by Complaints In Cases. - Who salted the Coal Creek toonantas in Clackamas County? Someone did. The owners of the property pass the charge along to the Hydraulic Gravity Separator Companr ol Portland.. The Hvdraullc Company ' Fldesteps and hands the compliment right back. The State Circuit Court, the Justice Court and possibly one or two other courts will have a trial at answering the question. ' Peculiarly enough the publics only Interest In this mining venture Is one of morbid curiosity. The public has no equity In the company's lands or bonanzas. It is one of the very few cases on record where everybody gets hurt excert the dear old public. But it came very near being otherwise, as evidenced by the legal documents filed In the care. The first papers were filed last Friday In the Circuit Court. Ad ditional documents were presented Mondav and still others were placed with the Justice Court yesterday. Stripping these papers of their super fluous verbiage, the public Is able to get an excellent Idea of the modus operandi in mining bonanias of a cer tain class. Tne story of the Coal Creek mines, as gathered In the com plaint and answer In the case of F. M. Swift versus the Hydraulic Gravity Separator Company, follows: " Story of Coal Creek Bonanias. Swift, a commercial traveler, discov ered the "mines-' shortly after a certain other mining-stock deal had been float ed on the public. He found "rich placer deposits" on Coal Creek, which is In Clackamas County, some 15 miles from Mount Angel. Panning there he was able to find colors in abundance, whereupon he proceeded to Portland and set about organizing his company. P. M. Richardson, a local capitalist, was approached and Induced to finance the proposition. Then the Hydraulic Company representatives. F. A. Sweeney, Augustus Walker and D. J. Forbes, were approached and asked to make a test run on samples from the placer beds and likewise to set a figure on a placer machine. The test run was made on samples . . . i .. i. v. t; -1 ft Th0 roqiilt wns iui niDiicu uj ........ unexpected, phenomenal In fact. Great quantities of gold were produced from the samples. Swift represented that he was going to conduct a great stock selling campaign, and that, In view of the publicity the Separator would get, a reduction in price ought to be made. The Separator company cut the price on a machine from $6000 to $1500. "I'll pay up out of tne first sales of stock." Is the remark attributed to the drummer-mlner. "Why sell stock?" Richardson is quoted as having asked at this junc ture. "With that kind or a proposition it Isn't necessary to let the public In. The dirt will produce gold enough In a few days to pay for this machine." Swift Gives In. The logic of Mr. Richardson's view was apparent and Swift gave in, but with considerable reluctance. It Is charged. He peisisted that the correct way to conduct a mine was to unload stock on the public. The separating machine was moved to Coal Criek at a considerable cost, flumes were built and. after many weary weeks of planning and effort, the Coal Creek bonanza was ready to enrich the world with its marvelous production ol yellow metal. The water was turned In the flumes, the machin ery of the big separator was set In motion, and the promoters stood await ing fortune. Ton after ton of placer dirt was run through. Nothing ma terialized, that Is, nothing of value. Halt the country was run through, but nary a color except a few scales of copper pyrites and similar substances. At the end of So days the Hydraulic Company insisted on payment for the machine and. not receiving anything, sent a mining txpert out to the Coal Creek country to investigate the 6wlft bonanza. In a few days the mining expert returned, his face illumined by an expression of Infinite disgust. "They've got a few acres of reason ably good farming land out there, but nothing that a child would mistake for mining property " he reported. Wlro Salted the Mine? So the company sent a bill for $4500 for the machine, and Swift's response was a suit against the Separator Com pany for 12000. This suit set out that the separator people salted the sam ples In order to sell the machine, thus causing Swift and associates to fritter away their time and money. The charge was at once Indignantly denied and a counter suit for $1500 filed. About the same time Clement E. Gainer, the Coal Creek Company's "mining force," appeared with a claim for wages. He bluffed the mining people into giving him S82..10 and filed suit for an additional $54 in the Justice Court yesterday morning. The com pany's cook Is reported to be on the grounds, having decided to remain until the grub supply was gone In order to have some compensation for his services. The Hydraulic Com pany's Interests In court are being looked after by Richard Morwood Mc Car.n, and the Swift-Richardson Min ing Company by A. E. Clark.

MANY ARE NOT PENALIZED Nine Ont of Ten Offenders In Mu nicipal Court Are Discharged and Others Only Pay Light Fines. Happiness Is general among the city's petty .criminals during the stay on the bench of Acting Municipal Judge Swett. for Mr. Swett is proving to be a gentle man of the broadest sympathies and he applies the legal lash with exemplary ten derness and infrequency. . "Discharged" is the legend that ap pears after the names of nine offenders out of ten on the Municipal Court docket. This applies to the class of offenders who have been used to getting from ten to 60 days, and the efTect Is the immense pop ularity of the acting magistrate. Drunkards are objects of particular leniency. They get away with a puHlt lecture, almost without exception. All promise never to touch liquor again, and are assured that if they do they will be fined. , ... A dozen pawnbrokers, charged wftn having purchased stolen goods from 16-year-old Tom Perkins, boy burglar, were let off In a body. They said they thought sure Tom was a man. Judge Swett looked at the boy. said he hardly looked like a man. but that he believed the pawnbrokers were telling the truth and should be let go. "Those fellows would swear that a 10-monhts-old baby looked like a man if they were caught with the goods on. as they were in this case," said Chief Grlti macher. afterwards. Larceny and use of opium are ordinar ily serious offenses. but these two charges, when proved, cost D. L. John son only $i6. He was found with a large quantity of stolen goods In his possession, as well as a morphine and opium outfit. He promised to be good after this, and expressed delight at the mild penalty. Andrew Harmstrom. John Kenney. S. B. Turnbull. J. W. Ewlng. A. T. Tier ney and George Wade were let off with reprimands for having been drunk. Fred Lawlsnd. convicted of being an habitual drunkard, was fined $4. Tom Smith, 11. L. Mabley. Frank Campbell and Ernest Gild, boxcar va grants, were extended the freedom of the city. They explained that they hadn't been harming any on by sleeping In a boxcar, but the court explained to them that they were mistaken In this view and turned them loose. The opium-smoking quartet arrested early Tuesday morning In an opium den at 409 Stark street were likewise fortu nate. Edwin Wiehler. charged with run ning the den, was convicted and fined $20. Harry O. Grow. May Roberts and Jessie Thomas, frequenters of the den, were taxed $12.50 apiece. WORD FROM PEARY'S SHIP Dr. Wolf, of Portland, Receives Let ters From Tliose on Roosevelt. Dr. Louis J. Wolf, a physician with offices In the new Medical building, who was the physician of the 1905 1906 Peary Arctic expedition, which reached the farthest north of any similar explorations, Tias received let ters from friends on the steamer Roose velt, which Is now workings Its way Into the Polar Ice, where it will re main all Winter and from which Com mander Peary and his associates will make a dash for the Pole next Spring. Dr. Wolf Is well acquainted with all on board the Roosevelt, for practical ly the same men, with few exceptions, make up this year's expedition as sailed from New Tork two .years ago. Letters were received by Dr. Wolf from Captain Bob Bnrtlett, of the Roosevelt, and Ross G. Marvin, natur alist of the expedition. The letters were dated July 21. while the steamer was lying In Hawkes Harbor. New foundland, laying in supplies of whale meat.

OWNERS SEEK INJUNCTION Will Fight Payment of Street As sessment Under State Law, Which Exempts Land Held for Burial Purposes. The city officials will sell the River view cemetery at 10 A. M. September 24. to satisfy a Hen of $853.75, unless restrained from doing eo by an injunc tion. This statement Is made in a suit brought In the Circuit Court yesterday by the Riverview Cemetery Association against the City of Portland and J. E. Werleln, City Treasurer. The lien Is said to be for the cost of improvements to Front street, which, it is declared, are four miles from the cemetery site. An ordinance passed by the City Council, No. 14726, provided for the improvements from 16 feet north of Woods street to Grover street. The benefits accruing to the association were assessed and entered upon the docket of city Hens by Auditor Barbur.. These have now been declared a tax levy, and the 285 acres of land held by the association have been advertised for sale. It Is alleged that the sale will cast a cloud over the title of the asso ciation to the land, as well as the title of those who own burial lots. Since the property was dedicated to its pres ent purpose more than 4000 funeral processions have entered the cemetery, which lies south of Fulton. W. M. Ladd and Frank M. Warren have given a $600 bond to protect the city officials from any damage which might come to them from compliance with the Court's injunction. The cemetery association through Its counsel contend that none of the members receive any profit from hold ing the land, and that the Oregon law especially provides that cemeteries are exempt from taxation, execution, or assessment of any kind. Section 6212, Bellinger & Cotton's Annotated Codes of Oregon Statutes, provides that cem etery associations shall be "authorized to purchase, or take by gift or devise, and own and hold, land exempt from execution and taxation, and from any appropriation for public purposes." Section 6214 reads: "Lots exempt from taxation and ex ecution1. "Burial lots sold by such association shall be for the sole purpose of inter ment, and shall be exempt from taxa tion, execution, attachment, or other Hen or process whatsoever, If used as intended by the purchaser thereof from said association, or their assigns or representatives; exclusively for burial purposes, and In no wise with a view to profit." 1 The statute then provld.es that dealers in marble may enforce Hens upon gravestones which have been purchased, and may remove them In case the purchase price is not paid. Judge Gantenbein issued a tempo rary restraining order against the city officials yesterday. SPIRITISTS' BOOKS ATTACHED Deputy Sheriffs Take Possession of State Association Records. Failing in his attempts to secure for Green C. Love the books and papers of the State Spiritualist Association, held by Mrs. Sophia Seip, Harry Yanckwlch, who has heretofore acted as Love's at torney, commenced action In his own name in the Circuit Court yesterday. J. E. Trigg also appears with him as plaintiff against Mrs. Selp. They de mand $1000 In case the books are not surrendered, asserting that they have a right to them. Deputy Sheriffs Boyer and Huckabay attached the books yesterday after noon after a skirmish with Mrs. Selp. Entering her rooms at the Alisky building, they informed her of their mission. She locked the doors to her inner rooms, according to the state ment of the deputies, and tossed the key over the transom. She Is said to have stood with her back against the door while the papers were being read to her.

SAYS HCSBAND IS NIGGARDLY Wife Sues A. J. Pelffer Tor $00 a Month for Support. Comnlalnlng that her husband sends her only $40 a month for the support of herself and their ll-raontn oia daughter. Mrs. Nell Sayre Pelffer is suing him in the Circuit Court. She does not ask that she be given a di vorce because of her husband's woeful neglect, but she does demand tnat tne Court Issue an order for her spouse to send her $90 a month. Albert J. Pelffer is a traveling man. He has been away from home on the last trip for six consecutive weeks. During this long and lonely period his wife has visited him at the Madison Hotel, Spokane, to which place a copy of the complaint was mailed informing him that his unhappy wife has brought suit against him. Mrs. Pelffer says that her husband earns $2100 a year, besides his ex penses. She thinks she is entitled to a little more than half of this for the support of herself and child.
