r PEONAGE 1CASE G07JES .
BEFORE SUPREME COURT
'" '' .1111 I ' i'J I.. HI

Government Will Try to , Prove
That Peonage Law Is
V.-.,,' Unconstitutional, 7"? ;
(Jearaal gpselal Berries.) - -
.' Charleston. 8. C, March IB. The gov.
mment Is considerably Interested In a
habeas corpus case which came before
Judge Brawley of the supreme , court to
day, aa the result will have aa Im
portant bearing on the crusade under
taken by the federal authorities against
peonage practices In the south and else
where. The primary purpose of the
habeas corpus proceeding is to teat the
constitutionality of the state law which
makes It a misdemeanor for a laborer
. to leave hia employer without Juat oeuae
, where be has been working on shares
and where be has received advances.
Many of the aoutbern states have such
laws. The original Intent of the statute
was to protect the fanner sgalnst negro
labor, but In practice the law has been
made an effective sgent by unscrupulous
contractors In the peonage esses, ...... .
The case now before the court Is that
f Ernest Drayton. . who escaped from
what the government charges was a
peonage camp. He was captured - and
imprisoned because he was deeply In
debt to his employer- and refused to re
turn to work when apprehended. The
government will attempt to prove that
the law Is In violation of the thirteenth
amendment to the eonstltulon. .

coal Is a lignite of good Quality, similar
to that mined from the -old Beaver Hill
and other properties of Coos bay, though
carrying lees sulphur and less silica.
What was at first believed to be but
one or two veins has since developed
into seven distinct ledges. These ledges
range from four to eighteen feet wide.
The ledges stand almost vertical, having
but a slight dip, and each la well de
fined. They contain only a small por
tion of slate or foreign substance. The
ledge now being worked and opened up
Das a width or 18 feet.
This Is the biggest vein of the deposit
and carries the best grade of coal., This
coal Is being used in residences, busi
ness houses and hotels In Medford. and
has also been shipped, though the local
demand la sufficient to use all that la
now being mined.
In order to remove a big dally tonnage
the company la driving a doubla-track
tunnel Into the mountain to tap the de
posits at low depth. This tunnel will
not only give. a thorough drainage for
the mine, but will give ample room for
a string of ears snd make It possible
to remove from SOO to 400 tone daily,
The tunnel will be completed within ths
next two or three months, and the proo-
ertlea will then begin the marketing of
co i on a large scale.
The Southera Paclflo Is considering
tne proposition or building a spur track
from Medford to the mines. The ooal Is
not only desired for, general and local
distribution, but aa smelter fuel for the
Blue I-edg copper mines. , .
