: Bull, of New Burk, and with whom
| are also associated E. C. Hawkins

pany’s plans Mr. McKenzie said:
“Our railroad will be built into the
; interior from the head of Cordova
| bay, skirting Eyak lake, thence fol
lowing the trend of the range in an
'easterly direction to the delta, of

the possersion of Mr. lies. The
suit is based on an oral under
standing between the two, made
in 1903, by which it was agreed
that they were to share equally
in whatever Tesults might accrue
from their efforts to interest capi
tal in the projected road. The
first effort was a failure, but later
a degree of success seems tc hare
crowned the efforts of the promo
ters,for it » alleged that Mr. lies
was given 1700,000 shares of stock
as his interest. An order restrain
ing lies from disposing of any of
of the stock has been granted by
the court and the merits of the dis
pute wiil be threshed out lateT.
