said to be Interested In tho Dives Mine.
from ne Dearsr Mirror, Jan. o.
Judge Stone, In tho case OF the Ben
Harding lode, declined to follow the ruling OF
Chief Justice lIallctt and Judge Bedford, al
though his attention was specially called TO H.,
and Instructed the jury that a person could fol-
low the vein wherever It went. AT the last term
OF the District Court of Jefferson county. In the
case OF Streeter and McCuniG vs.. McMurdy and
others, he declined to adhere to his former
ruling, and at least intimated very strongly that
the Pelican parties were bound by their patent
ed location and could not 90 beyond II. What
tion must be left to conjecture.
We now approach another phase OF this cele
brated case, which was discredltable IN its ori-
gin, criminal In It's progress, aud fatal In its re-
suits
No sooner had Judge Hallet dissolved the in
Junction against McMurdy-an injunction, by
Tue way which was never observed, aud which
Judge Halett seems to have lacked the courage
TO enforce-than the Pelican parties took pos
session OF the workings Of the Purdue Company
and also OF McMurdy. An application was
made hy the Purdue Company. founded on the
act Of 1874, for an Injunction, with Affirmative re-
lief, against the parties who had thus entered.
This application was made to Judge Stone.

made by the same parties TO Chicf Justice Hal
lett who declined To grant y. Al the Pelican
owners, except Mr.. f. !; Naylor were made

the Pelican parties to deliver up possession OF
