anxious for the names Of those who have
I furnished the information which is being
published concerning himself and his col
leagues. He may ascertain them, and he
may not; that is as pleases us. 1t Is
/ matter of no public interest where we oo-
tanned our information, if that information
be shown to be true. On Thursday last
we referred to the sudden and unaccoun'-
able accumulation of wealth by Judge
Turner in the short space Of time that ne
has occupied the bench. We will to-day
advert TO the remarkably healthy con-
dition of Judge North's finances. Unlike
Juise Turner, whose only ostensible
source of revenue is his salary, Judge
North has a quartz mill, which, as a
source of profit and a means of accounting
for his rapid strides from indulgence to
afiuence, eclipses and throws into the
darkest shade all the other mill enterprises
in this Territory. 1t is to the remarkable
success which has attended this mill that
the Judge owes his present wealth. He
has only been upon the bench since last
September, and his salary for that period
would hardly amount, in greenbacks and
territorial scrip, to a support for himself
and family. Prior to his accession to the
bench, he was an unsuccessful one-horse
lawyer over in Washoe, unable to earn a
living at his profession, and not worth a
picayune. In four short months from the
date of his appointment to the judseship,
he stated at the Theatre that he was
doing well financially" He spoke
truly. The style in which he lives and
supports his family and his ability to lux
uriate at the Bay and the watering places
of California, to recruit that health, the
shattered condition Of which has cost hti-
giants in this Territory millions, are evil
dence that the financial condition Of the
Judge IS easy--very easy. Fifty thous-
and dollars and heavy daily revenue, is
comfortable state of things for one who,
a year ago, bad no funds in the treasury.
That quartz mill has been a most
profitable - an exceptionally profitable
concern. During the past ten months,
but few mills in the Territory have made
much more than a living profit, but
North's mill has been perfect mint to its
owner. 1t is generally believed and re-
ported at Washoe that that mill has paid
for itself twice over within the last ten
months; and we have authority for stating
that LOOMS (North's brother-in-law and
manager said, few days ago, that sit
paid for isssif once IN siz:y days B." Clio
rious piece Of property that! But our
astonishment diminishes when We learn
| that all this time this mill has been crush
ing Gould 4 Curry rock on shGres! As is
well known, the Gould & Curry Company
has been one of the principal itigants in
Judge North's Court. Their suits have
been many, and of tremendous import
ance. Judge North has never denied the
Gould & Curry anything that they have
asked at his hands. The North Potosi
had ledge, the title to which was dis
puted by the Gould & Curry-Judge
North enjoined the North Potosi. The
e. Dorado was similarly situated-Judge
North enjoined the e Dorado. The ST.
naloas claims clashed with those Of the
Gould s Curry-Judge North enjoined
the Sinaloa. The city of Virginia desired
to widen B street in front Of the Gould S
Curry's ofice-Judse North enjoined the
city of Virginia! In all these cases the
Gould s Curry may have had the legal
merits; in all human probability did
have, or Judge North would not have de-
cided so unanimously in their favor.
How extremely natural it is, then, that a
Judge Of such clearness of perception,
such second Daniel, should be rewarded
therefor by the Gould & Curry, in the
way of the richest rock, to be ground on
shares. How perfectly natural, then, that
a mistake like the following should coca
sionally be made by the Gould & Curry
against themselves and in favor of Judge
North. A Superintendent of one of our
mines was informed the other day by
North's brether-in-lsw, that "by acct
dent" the Gould s Curry sent to North's
mill to be crushed ION shares, mind yoQ,)
a load of Eve or six tons " as rich as that
you have in your hand" pointing to a
piece of almost pure sulphurets which had
been handed to him as a specimen! A
few such mistakes as that would easily ac-
count for the mill " paying for itself every
sixty days" How DO such stories as the
foregoing read to the people: Do the
people, can the people fail to see natural
connection between Judge North's mill,
which grinds pure sulphurets for the
Gould & Curry ION shares, and Judge
North's decisions, which are uniformly in
favor Ofthose who furnish sulphurets by
mistake: The foregoing, in connection
with the article headed Washoe Judi
cial Loans" which We copy from yester-
days Enterprise, constitute sufficient food
( for one DAVIS reflection by the people.
