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

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.

LENIENT ON BENCH
Petty Criminals Fare Well Be
fore Acting Judge Swett.
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

LIEN ON CEMETERY
Riverview Is Advertised for
Sale by City.
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

Green C. Love the books and papers of
the State Spiritualist Association, held

name in the Circuit Court yesterday.
J. E. Trigg also appears with him as
