 THAT TIGER SALE.-The talk, on the street, is that Mr Geo W. Bowers, who, we believe, acted as broker for Messrs Hewitt X Bartlett, in the matter Of purchasing that extension claim of 100 feet on the Tiger lode, made certain representations to Messrs Gas sidy, 1horne Hogle, which induced them to sell their portions of the extension for S10 per foot, while Mr B turned said feet in to the real purchasers at S20 per foot. This transaction, which would be looked upon as legitimate in San Francisco and New York, is not so viewed by Messrs Thorne & Hogle, who feel pretty sore over their loss, and, we believe, have telegraphed Mir Cassidy, who is in Pioche, Nevada, not to sign the deed. It is, however, said that Mir Cassidy's power-of. attorney is already on the way here, and that he will stick to his original bargain, which was made by telegraph It further appears that several owners in this extension didn't care to sell even for S20 per foot, but did so to accommodate others.
