dated February 9th, to Johnny Galley Of
this place. It says that times are very
dull and hard there, and that it is diff.

looking better as the work of develop

ing on smaller claims. The writer says
that they intended to start the furnace
the following week for a run of 80 days.
His advice to Mr.. Galley is not to come
to Darwin at present, as all kinds of
business is dull and scarcely any money
in circulation. As there are several
here who talk OF going in that direction,
our advice to them would be to let we'll
enough alone and remain where they are
until they are sure of doing better.
TO-DAY the mandamus case will be
heard before the District Court. The
petitioners ask for the issue of a per-

San FRANCISCO, Feb. lO.-A dispatch
reports the levees broken by the high
water of the Sacramento river and the
whole country in that vicinity flooded.
No loss Of human life reported but much
destruction OF stock is feared. The
water is higher than ever was known
previously.
A dispatch from Los Angeles reports
much damage to bridges and roads by
the storm. Communication is cut off in
every direction except to Wilmington and
Santa Monaco. The roads to Cotton and
Anaheim are impossible. The stage
from San Diego to Anaheim in trying to
cross Orofno Creek. near Los Flones,
was swept into the sea with the mails
and horses. The driver and passengers
escaped by swimming ashore. The
storm at sea is very severe. The brig
Koloa is ashore on Dead Mans Island
and the bark Nicholas Biddle near Ana

crews are saved.

decision denying the motion Of defend
ant to strike out that portion of the
complaint alleging that the failure of the
Bank OF California was caused by acts Of
its own officers and not by the acts of
plaintiff. The Judge held that the
libelous publication was directed at
plaintiff both in personal and business
relations, therefore it was necessary he
should be allowed to prove its falsity by
fixing the responsibility for failure of
the bank.
