Show SOME SUITORS AROuND THE OLD ST. JOE While the St. Joo Mining company has or some tlmo been practically Idle, so far as mining operations are concerned, con-cerned, thero appears to have been' something doing In the courts by which it has been kept reasonably busy. One after another it has fought to a finish and won twenty suits, brought by parties par-ties claiming Interests in or title to ground covered by the St. Joe group, says the Blnghan. Bulletin. These little lit-tle diversions come high ln the aggregate, aggre-gate, but the company seems to have been ready to meet them all with a smile. Adverse and protost proceedings by G. Lavagnlno are understood to be the last ln sight, or that were In sight, for recently before the United States Land office nt Salt Lake the Lavagnlno claims were denied; but he has now appealed ap-pealed to the United States Supreme court, and a final decision may not be reached before the last of the year. Meanwhile the St. Joo people apparently appar-ently are not reaching out after trouble; trou-ble; and It goes without saying that they occupy valuable ground, else adverse ad-verse claimants would not be as thick as files arouifd a molasses barrel. |
