Premier Loses Suit
For Ore Damages
Following a five day trial for
damages, the Premier mine lost
their verdict against the Coast
wise Steamship and Barge Co.of
Vancouver,says the Hyder Miner
in a recent issue. The Premier
charged that the barge Anyox,
which sunk last year with a load
of ore valued at 817,590, was not
jn a seaworthy condition. The
court held, however that the evi
dence was insufficient and that
its decision was the barge was
lost in the ordinary peril of ships
at sea.
