The demurrer to the complaint in the
case ofthe 1870" Company vs.. the Bull
lion Mining Company came up for argu-
ment on the Dist, before the Fifteenth
District Court of San Francisco, but
owing to the absence of plaintiffs ooun-
sci the hearing was continued until the
18th of September. The action was
brought in May last to recover 400 feet
of ground on the Comstock ledge, ad-
joining the Chollar- Potosi claim. The
plaintiff claims that $40 feet were origin
ally taken up by its grantors, the 1920"
Company taking one half and the Bull
lion Company the remainder. Subse-
quently the Bullion Company applied
for and obtained United States patent
for the entire $40 feet. The 1920" Com.
pany seek ito compel u transfer Of title
to 400 feet. The bullion company claim
that the "420" never had title to the
ground. The demurrer sets up that the
complaint does not state facts sufficient
to constitute cause Of action. The con-
troversy was litigated in tho Nevada
Courts and the Bullion Company gained
the suit. The case was again tried IL
the United States Land Office OF Nevadi
aud decided In favor of the Bullion Com
pany; the latter company therefor'
claim that the litigation should end.
