Cardoner Case Ends In Federal Court Showdown Over Mine Value
In Coeur d Alene Idaho on December 10 Judge Dietrich took under advisement the suit by Mrs Mathilde Cardoner of Albuquerque against Mugeney Day and others to recover a one sixteenth share of the Hercules lead and silver mine in the Burke Idaho district. Cardoner claims the mine valued at 5 000 000 at sale in 1916 was actually worth 30 000 000 and argues she was not fully informed. Counsel for the Day defendants contends the estate administrator duties ended with the decree and Cardoner was informed of the value when she completed the sale.
