that the wall is that OF some ancient city,

Tho san LdtC Hcrdld thinks that the
SUS correspondent was misinformed in regard
to Judge MCkEAN's connection with the Silver
Shield Mining Company. The Ihidd saws that
judges MCtEAN and STRICKLAND may have
been located" " without their knowledge, but
the records show that before there was any liti.
CATION Judge MCkEAH became President Of the
Silver shield Company, with $1,000 stock in it,
and Judge STRICKLAND appears on the books as
the posscssor Of 10000. when the mine went
into litigation HAwLEY refused to try the case
unless MCkEAN would appoint him acting Chief
Justice, because Master ia Chanccry his deci-
sion would be subject to revision and over
ruling by MCkEAS; but the latter declined to
make tie required appointment. As To the
"amicablc compromise" spoken uf by the SUNS
correspondent, the v,locipcde parties assert
that they agreed because they saw no prospect
Of obtaining their rights in the courts. In re-
gard to Judge MCkEAS's plain attire and style
Of living, the HCULi hints that people who accu-
mulate money as he has done in Salt Lake are
not in the habit OF manifesting the evidences Of
their wealth.
