AN IMPORTANT SUIT. - In the San
Francisco dispatches to last evenings
Chronicle we find the following announce
ment of an important suit at law: Suit
will be commenced to-day in the Fiji
tenth District Court, by the Crown
Point, Savage. Gould & Curry. Hale &
Norcross, Chollar-Potosi, Imperial,
Overman and Yellow Jacket mining
companies, against Sutro ct al. and the
Sutro Tunnel Company, to cancel agree
ments between them in regard to the
building of the Sutro Tunnel and the
payment of stipulated royalty, and to
relieve plaintiffs from the burden of pay
ing said royalty. The ground of action
is alleged to be the total failure of de-
PENDANTS to perform any part OF their
agreement or do any act for which royalty
was to be paid. Plaintiffs claim that all
work which has been done is not more
than one-tenth part of what was to be
performed, and is entirely on defendants
grounds and for their benefit alone; that
il can never be of an advantage to most
of the plaintiffs, who have reached n
dep h below the Sutro Tunnel, and the
balance are nearly down to it. Plaintiffs
further say that the time for completing
the tunnel has long since expired, and
that the agreement contains an option
on the part of plaintiffs to hold it null
and void. provided defendants did not
commence and prosecute work as stated
in the contract; and further, that from
the time OF the failure Of defendants
thev have elected to rescind, and defend
ants knew the fact

SILVER LAKE MINE.-This mine is
situated due east of Haines' Ranch. in
Douglas county, and is about 10 or II
miles this side of Wellington $. The
groupings and deeper prospects indicate
an extensive deposit Of sllver-bearlng
galena. We We're shown specimen of
this ore yesterday. 1t looks rlch-and
We are told that it assays as much as
$500 in silver to the ton. Of course this
is base metal, and also of course If it is
to be worked, it will have to be smeltsd.

The Carson River freshet seems to
have reached Dayton, if we may credit the |
following statement Of last evening |
Chronicle: The Carson River has swol-
len so much during the past few days |
from the melting of snow on the noun
tains as to compel two of the mills on
the river to shut down. The Franklin is
now running only half its stamps, and
John Hunt, the Superintendent, thinks
be will have to move his family away
until the freshet is over. The river has
been raising about foot every twenty
Jour hours for the last three or four days.
As there is good deal of snow in the
this year We fear that the
Mills on the Carson will experience
much trouble from the swelling of the
'lver.
