On Sunday at noon the American
flag was raised over the Raymond IL
Ely hojsting works. Somebody saw
it and asked his neighbor what it
meant. The neighbor thought a mo-
ment, and remarked that the Ray
mond Il Ely VS.. Hermes case had
perhaps been settled. A bystander
overheard it, and told his friend that
the great lawsuit had been compro-
missed. The friend told an acquaint-
ance that the Hermes had gone up
and that Oh Monday five or six hum
ured men would be put to work on
the Hermes claim by the Raymond Il
Ely company. So the news spread.
Idle men in the streets We're talking
about it; busy men in stores and sa-
looms were thinking about it, a num-
Der of scientific persons went into the
last nanl0d places and took astronomi-
cal observations in order that there
might be no mistake about it..
In order that we might tell the peo-
pie the facts in the case, we called on
Superintendent Day, of the Raymond
& Ely. and he informed us tnat he re-
ceivcd on Sunday a dispatch from the
Secretary in San Francisco, the words
Of which We're as follows:
"All right. You can proceed i'm
mediately to work disputed west
ground"
Upon the reception Of the telegram,
men wert Immediately put to work
on the ground which had been in dis
pute. Mr.. Day also informs US that
more men will be put on as the mine
is further developed and more work.
ing room thus made.
WE publish the following letter
from Hon. w. III. Beatty, Judge of
the Sixth District, to Geo. w. German,
Secretary of the Phoebe Engine and
Hose Company, in regard to the en-
emption of tiremen from jury duty:
EUREKA, New, August 7, 1873.
GEORGE T.. GoRMAN, Esq, Dear
S,r-Your favor of the 9TH inst. is just
at hand. The question you ask is one
which / have never been called upon
to decide, and l confess l don't know
how | should decide il. That part of
the Jury bill relatingto the exemption
of tiremen is the result of some legis-
latiye tinkering that Mr.. Phelan, of
Virginia, might be aOle to explain; l
cannot. NV idea is that it ought to
be left to the companies themselves
to decide which half of their menu
bers should be exempt; h a is, they
miuht divide the members of the
companies into two equal clasSeS-one
to be liable to serve, the other to be
eXempt-then when II fireman IS
drawn, if he is an officer or member
of the exempt class, by showing thai
fact to the satisfaction of the Judge, he
should be excused. | have not been
able to think of a more feasible plan.
Yours respectfully,
w. IL. BEATTY.
Judge Beatty is recognized through
out the State as a profound lawyer
and eminent iurist, and surely ms
opinion is entitled to consideration on
the question.
