A case was tried in Judge Joach-
imsen's Court this morning, in which
a man named O'Donnell sued Thomp-
SOL & Co., one Of the firms engaged
in dealing in puts" and "calls" in
mining stocks. In the course Of the
trial Judge Joachimsen expressed
the opinion that contract for the
delivery of stock on particular date
is legal contract, but contract to
pay the difference between stated
price and the price a stock might
command on a particular day, is a
gambligng contract, and cannot be
enforced in law.
SALT LAKE, Dec. 28th.
James o. Moore, Superintendent

MARYsvILLE, Dec. 28th.
The Marysville and San Juan stage
was robbed to-day, about five miles
above Smartsville, of Wells, Fargo &
Co.'s treasure box, at the same place
it was robbed last Wednesday, and
the driver thinks by the same party.
Mike Hogan. the driver, was in the
act Of pointing out the spot of the
former robbery to the passengers,
when he was cut short in his nara
ton by the words: Halt, and throw
out the box, quick!" He did as COM
manded and drove on, the passen-
gers not being molested. There were
five men and two young lady passen-
gers on the stage. Hogan, who is an
ex-policeman ard man of nerve and
experience, organized a party as soon
as he arrived at Smartsville, and
started in pursuit of the robbers.
Strong hopes are entertained that he
may succeed in capturing them. The
ground is soft from the rain of last
night, which will enable Hogan's
party to track them. The streams
are SO high on both sides of the
scene of the robbery as to be impass
able, which will materially lessen the
chances of the escape of the robbers,
who are supposed to be white men.
Wells, Fargo g. Co.'S detectives have
arrested and now have in custody
five Spaniards, two Greeks and one
white man, on charges Of robbing
stages in this section, with certain

FAIR PLAYA CARD TO THE
PUBLIC.

AS our fellow citizens we'll know,
the undersigned have been to great
expense in fitting mp in proper
shape, and in keeping in operation
constantly, through bad as well as
good weather, a line of passenger
coaches between Silver City and the
railroad station at Gold Hill. No
matter how bad the roads or how
stormy the weather, our drivers
have faithfully performed their
duties and have kept up regular
and uninterrupted communication.
From time to time, other parties
have put on coach 1--WE do not
dignity it by the name of "opposi-
tion") with the avowed intention of
"running us Off the line" To this,
recognizing the fact that everyone
who chooses has the right to engage in
the business OF stage driving;we don't
object, and only publish this card to
call particular attention of the pub
lie to the fact that the parties SO loud
in their determination to "run Ben
netts off the road" only run during
fair weather and good roads, haul
ing eff their coach and team during
every storm and season OF mud, and
leaving the travelling public to dis,
appointment SO far as they are con-
cerned. Our coaches run regularly,
in all kinds of weather, making bet
ter time and Offering greater degree
of comfort than the old rattle trap
which runs semi occasionally, dur
ing fair weather, over the road. We
have given the people good and
reliable coach line, and shall still
maintain our way Of doing business
We believe we are entitled 70 the
pubic patronage under these CIR
cumstances, and hereby rsspectiu!iy
solicit 1t. All we ask u fair play
and no favors from other stage men,

A WARRIOR week past there
has been seen loafing around our
streets diminutive sorrowful coun.
tenanced cayuse colt; apparently no
one Is willing To own him, and he
mopes around the different streets
and alleys like a lost soul seeking
Paradise. Peering in at the win
dow of some inviting residence;
wistfully cycling each passing load
of hay, rubbing his thin nose against
the closed barn doors, now and then
lazily lodging stone or club from
some cruel urchin, and making alto.
gether the most complete picture of
poverty and loneliness that we have
seen for many day.
Oh isn't it pitiful,
In = whole city-full.
Friends he has none.
He is evidently child of disaster,
without mate and no master, wan.
dering alone without friends or a
home and only half. grown;-one
of natures abuses, this poor little
cayuse is an object whose rarity
calls tor our charity, but how to ex-
press it we can't even guess it, while
all alone he wanders from home
with fate to bemoan. We wonder
if this creature, SO sOrrowful of tea.
ture-thIs poor little elf-knows
there's many a human with more
than his 'cumen, just as bad of as
himself? Poor little "critterl' we
know by the glitter of moisture that
comes in his eye, that it's many a
day since he tasted hay, though full
many time does he try. 1t is well
that he's dumb or else he might
come to our doors asking shelter and
food; like those of our kin that we
never asked in or offered to do them
good. No, he's brute, a four
legged Piute, this poor little waif
on our street; to night he may die,
but no one will cry, though he per
ished wanting something to eat!
Alas! tor the soul who in chasing
life's goal, forgets the humble of
earth; for God knows us all--Dotes
the sparrow's tall. and places credit
to worth.

4 HORRIBLE MINING ACCI.
DENT.

On Monday night shortly before
the changing Of the two o'clock
shift a most disastrous and some
what mysterious explosion occurred
mt point between the /, LOO and
1,200-foot levels of the Crown
Point mine, by which one MAJ
James Hill--was instantly killed,
and two others-Wm. Hooper and
James Muld3on-where seriously
wounded. The place were this de-
plorable accident occurred is called
the cooling off station, the
miners retire there to obtain water,
where a large barrel of it iced is
always standing, and cool their
heated bodies before ascending to
the surface. Hill was the first to
arrive there and from the testimony
of Hooper, who was just behind
him, he had been looking at a
watch hanging on u post. and given
the time of night and before turn
ing around the explosion occurred.
The report was heard through the
mine, the conclusion putting out
oil the lights on the l.l0O-foot
level, and the chambers and drafts
in the immediate neighborhood
above and below were filed with
smoke and dust, causing considera-
bic alarm among the miners, as they
had no idea what danger might be
near them. When lights were OBJ
tanned they proceed to the place of
the explosion and were Mortified to
find the body Of Hill fearfully
mutilated and near by they found
Hooper also badly wounded and
much burned. All the front por'
tion OF Hills body from the knees
to his head was fearfully lacerated,
fragments of stone being buried in
the flesh, aud several large splin-
ters of wood had passed through
his side into his abdomen; his right
hand was also blown off at the
wrist. MuldoOn csc aped with some
severe but not dangerous injuries,
and his recovery with that of
Hooper is assured by their attend
ing physicians.
THE CAUSE
Is yet wrapped in doubt, many
theories and suppositions being
offered, but none give general salts.
faction. Many suppose that Hill
held in his hand giant or Hercules
cartridge, aud mis- candle coming in
contact caused the explosion. Blu,
these powders rarely explode from
being subjected to fire. Others
think some caps (which aie explo-
sive) were lying around and n piece
OF rock falling from overhead struck
them, as they 60 off with slight tap.
The accident was certainly caused
by some of these dangerous materi-
ais, although they were not sup
posed to be there, and whoever
carelessly left them, is partially &C
countable for the deplorable event.
An inquest was held by Coroner
Mayer, when it was ascertained that
James Hill was native of County
Waterford, ireland, as years of age.
He leaves wife and six children
in Gold Hill in almost destitute
circumstances. and it would be only
in keeping with this season of the
year, when the poor aud unfortu
