THE BEAR RIVER AND AUBURN WATER
AND MINING Co. vs. The York MINING Co.
Yesterday the Supreme Court placed up.
on file three more decisions, which will
be found on our first page, this morning.
The first which we notice is one of much
interest and Importance to miners and
owners Of ditch property, viz: The opin-
ion rendered in the case of the Bear river
and Auburn Water and mining Co. VS..
The York Mining Co. Both companies
divert the waters of Bear River by means
Of extensive bitches, the plaintiffs possess
ing priority of title. The defendants dam
and ditch were constructed subsequently,
to those of the plaintiffs; and the waters
diverted by the former, after being used
for mining and milling purposes, were re-
turned again, less the amount consumed
in absorption and evaporation, TO the river
at point some miles above the head of
the plaintiffs ditch. In the Court below,
the jury found that by the act of defen-
dants, the plaintiffs had sustained mater-
al damage, not only in consequence of the
loss of water, but also from a detention
and adulteration Of the same. They also
tonnd that the defendants had used the
water reasonably, and with the least pos
sible injury to the plaintiffs; and that the
defendants were entitled to the surplus wa
ter Of the river to the capacity of their
ditch. Upon the facts specifically found
by the jury and partly by the parties, the
plaintiffs moved for judgment, but were
overruled, and Judgment was entered for
the defendants; hence the plaintiffs appeal
The case, as thus presented, is one of a
most perplexing character The principles
involved in the righ: to use water for
various purposes, and particularly in mi
ming enterprises, are considered at some
length by the Court, especially in refer
ence to the novel use of water in our
mineral region-a use which cannot be
classed with the preferred uses of water; but
still use that deteriorates its quality for
a second employment for the same purp pose
Tho conclusions arrived a. by the Court are,
that a ditch owner is entitled to the flow
of waters without material interruption in
its natural channel, and without diminu
ton the quantity sufficient to fill his ditch
as it existed when the locations were made
above; and lastly that the injury resulting
from deterioration in quality, should be
considered as an injury without consequent
damage. In this view of the case, Judgment
is reversed, and the cause remanded for fur
ther proceedings Sac. Union, Nov. ~.

FIRE DAMP.-A week or two since
the Grass Valley Telegraph gave an account
of the singular appearance of this dan.
gerous gas in one of the mining shafts
in that neighborhood. 1t has since learned
that the phenomenon is matter of fire..
quent occurrence in the drifts on Pike
Flat in that town, and that miners have
in several cases been quite badly but no
one seriously burned by it. The dig
gings there are quite old and very wet
which render them just tbs place where
such phenomena might be looked for.
RANK.-Judge Peabody of New York
gave as one of his reasons for admit
ting Mrs. Cunningham to bail, "her rank
in life" What an idea of rank the Judge
must have! But perhaps he refers to
her offense; that certainly "is rank, it
smells to heaven" But isn't it queer
idea that rank should give criminal Pc
culiar privilegess
RETURNING TO IRELAND.-The Boston
Post, noticing the contemplated closing
of the factories at Lowell, Massachusetts,,
says that during the month of Setptem-
Der more than seven hundred of the
Irish population purchased return tickets
to Liverpool, attracted by the improved
and improving state of the agricultural
interests in the Emerald Isle"
