Peek, she Mining Expert, sues
Michael Cattle for e2oo.oeo Dan.
ages ON = Contract IN Regard -
shs stsek or the Ophir Nine.

From the San Francisco Call. February 2oth.l
Al. Peck filed complaint in the Third
District Court yesterday against Michael
Castle. In which he charges that, In
1872, he and Castle entered into o con-
tract whereby Castle agreed 10 pay his
expenses TO and from Virginia City. for
the purpose Of pointing out 10 p. Dsid-
eshrimer. at that time Superintendent
OF the 0phir mine. where tho orc body
Of said mine lay; and that u the ore
body should DO found after nino months
Of regular work In the course Peck
would point out ~ the course OF said
ore body. then he, Castle, would deliver
TO Peck Que hundred shares OF Ophir
Company's stock at the price OF $50
per share.
The document ON which this suit II
brought Is a peculiar one. and il In the
following words:
San FnANcrsco. March 2, 1874.
Michael Castle, on behalf OF o party
Of gentlemen owning q quantity OF
0phir Company's stock, aud having
power to act for them. agrees with Mr..
Peck to pay his expenses to and from
Virginia City. for the purpose OF indi.
eating to the Superintendent, p. Deid.

body Of ore. Should itprove, by future
working in the direction Mr.. Peck in
dica,es, and when the work Ia done that
may develope IL. even only to show II IL
thers. l. ON behalf Of the aforesaid gen.
tlemrn. aud on my own security and
distinct fullhlment Of this agreo-
ment. will deliver Mr.. Peck one hun
bred shares Of Ophir Company's stock.
at the price Of $50 per share. at his
option. within nine months from this
date. MICHAEL CASTLE"
Witness: A. II. LrssAK. Jr.
Peck, the plaintiff, alleges that he did
not 90 to Virginia City aud point out to
Deidesheimer the locality Of the ore
body, and that the work was for q time
carried ON as he directed Il should be.
But, no says, this was dono for only
few months. and then the miners were
taken from the proper course and made
10 work in another part OF the mine. in
violation OF Castles agreement with
him.
The plaintiff then alleges that in the
Fall Of 1874, tho miners having been
allowed to work in the course ho had Boz
fore marked out, the body OF ore was
discovered where he told Deidesheimer
Il would DO; and that the new shares Of
stock advanced to aud were worth on
the market Of San Francisco $3.50 per
share. making 5000. 900 rs the value OF
the one hundred old shares OF stock he
was entitled to have Of Castle at $50
per share. Therefore. he asked for
$500. 900 In damages.

there being various counts.

about two feet deep on the roof, and
