The MICHIGAN COMPANY (who for some
weeks past have been engaged in moving
their engine from their lower house to their
new one over the shaft) commenced opera
tons again yesterday afternoon. They ex-
pect to sink their shaft one hundred feet
deeper than il now is, which, when done, will
undoubtedly develop a rich ledge-adding an
other rich mine to the others of Gold Hill,
already the richest of the Territory.
Two MEN BLOWN UP.-About noon to-
day an explosion occurred in the Cedar Hill
Tunnel, on Cedar Hill, by which two work
men, who were tamping at the time, were so
shockingly injured that it is feared they can
not recover. Their names are Peter Kelly
and c. O'Neil. Kelly is the same man who
on the 4th Of last July was shot and badly
wounded during fight in the San Francisco
Saloon, Virginia.
A MODEST MANA man named Peter
Jacobs has caused Chinawoman to be ar
rested for grand larceny. He visited the
place Of the accused, he says, engaged lodg.
ings, and when he awoke discovered that his
wallet, containing sos, was missing. All

prevent their claims being jumped by out.
siders. Ground is usually located from q
stake driven into the ground, in the absence
of natural monuments, and as the starting
point is soon destroyed, in few days all ey-
idence Of location has vanished. In other
cases claim is described as commencing at
the boundary. Of some other claim, and as the
limits of the latter are underlined and uncer-
tain, all succeeding companies that depend
upon it as a beginning are involved in Sc
ries of difficulties from which it is impossi-
BILE to extricate themselves. In some dis
tricts locations are all in a muddle, and a
map of the mines would be complicated
mystery, which the best legal minds in the
Territory could not unravel. This careless
ness in locating claims is fruitful source Of
litigation, and as it is question of opinion
what ground company is entitled to, there
is no telling how suit may finally be decid-
ed. 1t is q notorious fact that juries very
frequently give in a verdict at random, being
entirely ut loss what conclusion to arrive at
from the mass of conflicting testimony
brought before them. Possession is the best
evidence of title in nine cases out OF ten, and
and It Is but seldom that companies are GUST
ed who can prove this fact beyond shadow
Of doubt. The present excitement in Amer
can Flat stocks, and the expectation Of high
prices in the spring, have led parties to use
all means in their power to secure and keep
possession of their locations, and scarcely a
day passes that companies claiming the same
ground do not come into collision. Both are
equally satisfied Of their own title, and are
fully determined to dispute possession with
all intruders. A war Of words changes
to blows, deadly weapons are drawn,
and shedding of blood frequently follows. To
prevent such disputes the miners in that VI
einity nave formed an organization, and are
taking measures, we understand, to prevent
the jumping of claims. 1t is made the duty
of the Recorder Of the Gold Hill District to
go upon the ground and survey location
previous to recording it. Had this rule been
as strictly followed heretofore as it is now,
innumerable disputes might have been pre-
vented, and endless lawsuits, which have
been begun, would die for lack Of sustenance.
1t is hoped that the Committee appointed to
take the matter under consideration, will
adopt measures that will effect the desired
end.-Union.
