The controversy over the Salamon copper mine at Las Minas has been decided in favor of the present holders, Messrs. Gustavus Salamon and H. H. Reilly of New York. The land on which the mine is situated was purchased by them in 1899. After they had expended $30,000 in developing the property, other parties claimed possession by an old document. The courts have now decided that this document did not cover the Salamon mine. Work will be commenced on an extensive scale.
