TRUE LOVE NEVER DID RUN
SMOOTH. "-Sunday evening gay
Cavalier hated 10 front of the Silver
House, made his steed fast tn a hitch
ing post, and hurried TO the presence
of his love in the parlOr. During
the tete-a-tete some person, influ-
enced by jealousy perhaps, turned
his horse loose and caused him ever
80 much trouble. Our detective is
10 a Ouandary as to who the guilty
person is; it might have been a jeal-

STRIKE IN TIE WILLIAM PENN
Superintendent Langridge yesterday
showed US some very good Il" king
ore from this mine. The tunnel is
now about 900 feet in length, and has
cut through the ledge, which is some
forty feet in ~idth. Lateral drifting
is now progressive is,nse..k~ t,.s>i.:
as though it would paw well for mill
ing, though its value is not yet fully
determined by assays. Mr.. Lang.
ridge says he has lately made thor
ough examination of the old upper
upper workings Of the mine, and he
found large chimney of ore which
will pay to extract. 1t now seems
probable that the William Penn will
be milling ore within few weeks.

Restricting the Power Of Directors.

Says the San Francisco Post: We
10 not believe that we have exagger-
rated the situation in urging upon the
present Legislature the necessity of
taking prompt action for the better
protection Of stockholders in mining
corporations. The stupendous frauds
committed by the late Board of Trus.
tees Of the Justice Company have
done much to unsettle confidence in
the mines AMI the market, and the
door is opened for suspicion that
there is Encouragement in other
companies as we'll. The stagnat,on
now prevailing at the stock boards
shows thar the public will not par.
ticipate in the market while such a
stigma overhan % the mining indus
try. Something must be done to al
leviate the condition of affairs. and
we suggest that move be made at
Sacramento at once. From what has
been developed in the Justice. Alta
imbroglio it is plain that law should
be passed to restrict the power of
Trustees, and make them individually
responsible for their acts. Thew
sh''uld be required to give bonds for
the strict performance of their duty,
and ~heh about to make any impor-
tant disposition of property the law
should compel them to advertise a
resolution of Intention in the news.

foundation in fact. The old gentle
man did, it is true, "short" Ophir and
make losing; but this circumstance,
instead of having the effect of keep
ing him away from Virginia, has
only induced HIM t. order his agents
