An Important Ruling.

An important ruling was recently
made by Judge Cole of the Sixth
District Court, which will put stop,
in his district at 'least, to practice
quite common in this State with at
torneys in mining cases. The fol-
lowing is copied from the Eureka
Republican:
SIN the case of the Emmett Com
solidated Mining Company against
Delay ct. al. in the District Court
this morning, the attorney for PLAIN
tiff appeared and moved to transfer
the case to the United States Circuit
Court under the statute. The Court
Immediately of ito own motion in
structed the clerk to enter an order
dissolving the injunction against the
defendants. The Court said that
hereafter no party would be allowed
to make stepping stone of the Dis
trict Court to obtain provisional
remedy and then transfer the case. to
the United States Courts, and there
by continue the operation of the rem
edy, perhaps to the prejudice of the
other party. The order of the Court
took the attorney greatly by surprise.
The Court, however, stated that at
the time of the transfer Of the Eureka
Consolidated against the Richmond
he had made up his mind and an
nounced his intention to pursue such
course in the future, and declined to
reconsider the order in the present
casc,n

LAKE TAHoE.-The nights are very
cold at the lake, causing many people
to seek the valleys. McKinney's and
Tahoe have been overcrowded of late,
necessitating the landlords to turn
away many persons seeking rooms.

The Phoebe Record thus refers to
tho travelling correspondent of the
Virginia Enterprise: For fear that
many outsi ers should be led astray
by letter published in the Vir-
ginia Enterprise, signed Bashi-
Bazouk, which is inclined to cause
men to rush to this camp for work,
we will state there is not enough
ore in sight in the Raymond & Ely
mine to run the mill three years,
nor anything of that sort. The
Superintendent, and all of us would
be pleased if there was. There is
not hurdy house in Phoebe. let
alone having two running in full
blast. The last hurdy establish

The stock Market.

The San Francisco Post of Mon
day gives the cause OF the improve
ment in south end stocks. 1t says:
The Justice mine is the only Com
stock property outside of Con. Vir.
gina and California which gives pos
tive indications of speedy discov-
cry of new ore. Yesterday morning
private kilograms we're received in
this city stating that the whole face
of the crosscut on the 1850 foot level
was in soft clay and stringers of
quartz containing rich black sulpu-
rets Of silver. 1t was also stated that
the croscut was 10 close proximity to
the ore vein proper, in which winze
had been sunk ON the 100O-fnot level.
Notwithstanding this good news,
which was freely circulated, the bears
of the Pacific Exchange "coppered"
it with large short sales this morn
ing, having the recent Ophir and
Belcher fascos in mind. Before
night they repented tteir actions in
sackcloth and ashes. In the 10
o'clock of the old boarl Justice was
the favorite and advanced to $10I,
with heavy transactions. 1t was be-
lieved that the bonanza firm made
large purchases. All the other south
end shares were strong in sympathy.
The bonaza stocks ON the 1kjrth also
had rising tendency, which impart-
ed strength to all the shares in that
vicinity. Outside stocks we're large
ly dealt in. Grand Prize rose to $l5,
but Eureka Consolidated had a regu-
lar Waterloo, falling to 1913, the sales
being principally for short account.
The general market had a steady
tone.
On the regular call Ophir, Mexi-
can, Gould & Curry and Best &
Belchsr appeared to have been neg.
lected by the buying public. All
save the last had a slightly ofiish
disposition. 1t was evident later
on that Best & Belcher drew its
strength from an anticipated rise in
Consolidated Virginia. for the latter
spurted finely to $344. California
was also stronger. and touched $27t.
Savage and Hale & Norcross mani
tested the same tone which has been
growing in them for several days.
There was q better demand and
higher rates for Yellow Jacket and
many succeeding Gold Hill stocks,
based upon what Justice and Over
man we're expected to do. OF the
latter, Overmah was strong and
touched $25. The climbing" for
Justice has not been equeled by
anything since the June deal"
After heavy transactions the price
closed at 81. Alta jumped to So 80.
TIE whole market at the close had
buoyapt look.

DESTRUCTION OF THE UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD
BRIDGE AT OMAHA BY A Cyclone.
Council BLUFFS, iowa. Aug. 2G-TwO spans
of the Missouri River bridge ut this place, two hum
dred and fifty feet each in length, were blown down
and almost wholly destroyed during violent wind
and rain storm which prevailed here yesterday morn
ing. The storm was from the north, and struck the
eosterlv end Of the immense structure with such
force rs TO wrench five hundred feet of it from its
connections and opple it into the river twisting the
strngers and columns into an endless variety of
shopes About one-half of the debris is out
of sight under water, aud the remainder lies
ON the side and at the foot of the high embankment
ON the eastern approach. The dIsmantlcd piers, so
far As can be ascertained uniujured also the
remainder of the bridge nine spans III length. In
consequence of this disaster communication with
the West is wholly interrupted at this
point for the present, but arrangements will doubt
less be perfected shortly either for tho erection OF
Temporary spans until permanent ones can be sup
piled or for the transfer Of freight and passengers
by ferry.
There are various suTmiSes as to the cause of the
accident. but the general opinion 10 be that il
was a cyclone which struck il. The loss is estimated
at about H35OOO0. 1t will probably take from two
to three months TO rebuild the structure.
