NO ASSIGNMENT IN
THE MORNING CASE
Mayor McColloch, leturiied yester
day from Canyon City. He stated
last evening to a Miner loproscnta
tive that he did not tile the papers in
the case of the owners of the Morn
iug mine making an assignment, as
it was thought here was the purpose
of his trip to tlie (irant county seat,
and ho stilted in The Miner of .Satur
day. Mr. McCollocli wus rather close
mouthed about the whole busiiir-es
when talking to The Miner man ie
fusing point blank to slate what his
future actions will be. He admitted,
however, that something will be
'doing before the property is sold

U. S. COURT STOP SALE
OE THE CORNUCOPIA
Claiming that an injunction issued
out of the United States court for
the Southern district, of Now Vork
was being, or would bo, flagrant ly
disregarded, attorneys for Coorgo
D. Hcatty's receiver of the Cornu
copia mines near linker City have
been granted a restraining order by
Judge Ueillnger, preventing the sher
iff ol Maker county, Harvey K.
Mrown, from selling the properties
at auction at Maker City this morn
ing. The order was served last night.
It had been the intention of Mrowu
to impanel a sheriff's jury, decide on
the ownership of the propreties, am)
sell them to tho highest biddoi. This
course was to have been taken to
satisfy the creditors of the mines
who forced the company controlling
them into involuntary bankruptcy.
The case is now ponding in the United
i States District court at New Vork
City.
The llrst injunction against any
disposal of the property was issued
from the court at New ork, aud
th it;, so the plaint ill' claimed, would
have been deliberately disregarded by
the sheriff of Maker county. Deuce

ing order from Judge Melliuger. ThiH
order forbids the sheriff oi Maker
county from making any disposal of

NEW COMPANY TAKES
OLD VIRTUE MINE
The people of Maker City aud
county generally today rejoiced over
the news of the rehabilitation of the
old Virtue mine. Articles of Incor
poration were filed today by C. A.
Johns, the attorney, incorporating
the Virtue Mines Developent com
pany. The capital stock is placed at
1,500 000. Of this $1, '250.000 is
l-UU,
ferred or guaranteed stock. The
incorporators are J. K. Komig, S. L.
, JJaer and C. A. Johns. This means
the taking over of this celebrated
property by a new company aud its
reopening and operation in the very
near future.
When it is stated that this mine
has been closed down tor a number
of mouths because of lack of operat
ing funds, and that it is only seven
miles from the city in the district
where now is situated the Emma
mine, on the same mother lode and
one of the rich properties of tho
camp, it can readily be eeen what
the importance is of this movemout
to linker City.
Tho Virtue ia one of tho oldest
quartz producing mines in the entire
eastern Oregon gold fields, aud has
taken out its millions, and is ex
pecloi to take out millions more.
The quartz is a white crystal, free
milling aud is the richest known
ore in this camp Democrat.
$25 GREENHORN ORE
WILL PAY TO SHIP
Ccneral Malinger Fuller, of tho
smelter, leturiied from a trip into
the hills Sundav. He went into the
(ircouhnrn district last week, expect
ing to spend ten days there, visiting
the different mines; hut icccivcd a
telephone message calling him to
Siisanville and did not finish his in
spection. He will return in a few
days, however, aud take a look at
everything with oio an the dump that,
looks like a possible shipper.
Mr. Fuller states that Sumpter
Valley railroad people talk very
reasonably to him, so far as ratos are
concerned; say that when he can show
the tounage, they will make satisfac
tory, freight charges. Ho says that
he went over the route of the pro
posed wagon road from (Jrochorn to
Tipton, a distance of soven miles,
and that it is entirely feasible. Whou
this road is completed, ho feels sure
that oro in that district going twonty
live dollars can be mined, shipped
and treated at tho smelter hero,
allowing a fair prollt to the initio
owner.
In that case, (Jreenliorn is going
to furnish a largo per cent of the oro
handled here, for there aro numerous
dumps in the district that cany more
than that minimum limit of values,
and scores of properties that will ho
quickly developed into producers.
