Work will not cease in the Pennsyi-.

legal battle that is under way in the . '
United States Circuit Court at San!
Francisco. There will be no injunetiou proceedings closing down the two. !
mines, and thus throwing 160 men . !
out of employment, because the two !
cempanies which are antagonistic in }
the legal battle have taken into consiiration the welfare of the employes '
and made an agreement very much in ‘
their interest. \
The agreement is in the form of a!

j the mining or milling of ore, but which .
blithe. not prohibit exploration work.,
The stipulation will be duly filed today. .
and the Court will grant the dual re-)
quest and allow the desired injunction

conditional restraining order, which
could have had but one result—that of

man adrift perhaps for months.
The managements of the two mines.
assert that the future work, until the .
