Speaking of the sale, the Uaker
City Democrat says:
The long advertised bale of the
Iron Dyke mine, aud the Northwest
railway, has beeu made by Sheriff
Urowu through Deputy Snow in front
of tho court house at Uaker City in
the preHcuae of a throng of people,
most of whom were mere curiosity

iu tho oaso who were present were
Mr. Conrad, of Brie, Pounsylvauia,

aud Jobu L. Rand, their local at

half nu hour to read the description
of the property and when he oalled
for bids for the whole property, but
one bid was otfored, that made by
Mr. Rand for bis clients of $100,000.
The property waa knocked off to
them at that price and toe iuoldent
was olnsed.
lu an luterview, Mr. Roseuzwig
stated (or his olleuts that uothlng
would be done with the property at
present, as some other matters re
main to bo adjusted. It is under

The.re are uow pending oue or two
other suits betweeu the parties
which may or may not be settled
by that time.
Wheu these matters are straight
etied out, If the purchasers remain iu
possession, they expect to reopen the
propertyou a large scale and com
plete the building of the Northwest
railway. It can be added that the
total debt foreclosed aud interest and
costs of the deoree amouuted to about
9200,000. It is safe to assume that
before the close of the seaiou there
will be activity again throughout the
Irou Dyke oaaape.

THE COLUMBIA MINE
RESUMED OPERATIONS
The Columbia mine aud mill re
sumed operation Thursday, after a
brief shut down, ordered by Owner
Uaokus and Geuetal Manager Uaillie
as a result of the issuance by the cir
cuit court of Uaker county of au in
junction against the Columbia com
pany, restraining it irotu further op
eration of the Tabor Fraction mine,
owned hy the Goi ler-Heudryx Iu
veBtmeut compauy, aud turned over
to the Columbia on a royalty agree
ment. At the time of tho issuauce
of thie injunction, the official au
ununcement was mado by the Col
umbia company that all operations
would cease until aucb time as the
matter iu litigation whs 'settled.
Thunday's resumption leads to a
belief that some sort of an agree
ment has been reached between the
contending parties.
