The defendants In the case were gentlemen from Salem, MeRsrs. K. K. Newberry, president, and O. A. Thomas, vice-president, of United Copper Gold Mining Company, whose properties are near Merlin, Josephine county. They were accompanied by Mr. Geo. C. Westby, mining expert from McGill, Nevada, who appeared as a witness. The facts In the contest, are that on the claims of the Unlted Copper Gold Company is a lot of fine timber.' An Eastern corporation representing extensive lumbering interests in the West, assayed to take possession of the lands and timber in question by the scrip process. The Eastern peo ple, however, made an offer of com promise, asking the timber to be giv en them without protest, and for such consideration they would not Inter fere in the miners work. This proposition was refused by the Salem people, therefore the case was Hied for contest. The scrip by which this transfer of title Is expected to take place, Is Northern Pacific Railway paper. It is obtained In some instances at least. by the rialroad corporation relin quishing its right and title to a piece of undesirable land, or to a piece that may have been claimed by some homesteader In the railway's limit In the State of Washington, receiving scrip therefor from the government. This scrip Is good way down here In Oregon, 500 miles from the railroad's line, and It is with such paper as this (hat the Extern corporation Is trying to gobble up properties In Josephine county and by so doing oust a mining company who are at work on the premises and spending their money , to develop the resources of the State, i If the department Biibmlts a decis ion adverse to the local organization It will establish a precedent that is! fraught with grave results to var- j lous properties similarly situated, asi to title, In Southern Oregon.
