Judge Hallett's Views.
Saturday morning the owners of the Raven property at Cripple Creek applied to Judge Hallett at Denver for an injunction against the striking miners to prevent them from in any way interfering with the mines.
Judge Hallett refused the injunction. His opinion closed as follows:

"I must say that it is my opinion that the peace and good order of society in this state is committed entirely by the constitution of the United States and by the constitution of this state to the authority of the state.
If the government of the state has fallen into the hands of socialists as it certainly has, or of imbeciles, as is probably true, that is our misfortune, but we do not thereby acquire the right to assume control of affairs on the part of the federal government."

In the Raven mine the length of the ore-shoot is from 100 to 240 feet, pitching 65 degrees to the south. The pay streak changes about from foot to hanging wall. Free gold and telluride are visible down to 460 feet. The vein was not oxidized whilst in the adjacent Walter, owing to oxidation, the tellurides are undergoing decomposition with free gold as a pseudomorph occupying the form of the original telluride crystals as a result. Walls are well defined vein, 4 feet wide, swelling to 10 to 12 and even 16 feet. Slickensides or striae are common with bright metallic luster, showing much upward or downward movement. The striae are like corrugated iron on a small scale. The rock is breccia. This vein differs from the others, being unoxidized, and changes take place in the vein daily, while the other veins follow the line to the dyke. This dyke follows the vein 600 feet.

It is the only vein having an ore shoot pitching south and the only one showing slickensides. The character of the ore is different, containing less quartz and fluorite. In the Moose the vein is N. 12° W., dip 80° E. by N., two ore-shoots, one north and one south of the shaft. The north shoot pitches north at an angle of 82° whilst the south pitches north 68°. The shaft is sunk 650 feet, at the bottom is the probable apex of another ore shoot. Water stopped work. This is one of the few mines of the camp yielding silver largely, as well as gold. Two carloads from south ore-shoot yielded 54 ounces gold, 114 ounces silver, the silver is part native. Average silver value is 85.00 per ton.

Brown & Connell, who are leasing a block of the Raven claim on Raven Hill, sent out a 30-ton shipment of ore yesterday. The rock came in from the old upper tunnel workings and is expected to run three ounces or better per ton.

George Bernard and associate lessees, who recently secured a long-time lease on the Elkton, has opened a new orebody in Raven territory north-west from the main shaft by a cross-cut at the 100-ft. level.
This territory was productive above 600 ft., and the Elkton company was unable to prospect the ground on its own account through adverse financial conditions.
Royalties paid on ore shipped are expected to place the finances of the company in sound condition.
