The Gold Hill NeUs gives the evil

before Judge Moses on Saturday after

fresh looking Cornishman, who

the District Attorney asked the Gus

Mr.. Smith became quite indignant
when the lawyer requested the Court
to send out for an interpreter.
The Repeiite is responsible for the
following: Some time ago, in a Cali
fornia town, a dispute arose between a
lady and "a gentleman whose lots ad
joined, concerning the location Of the
boundary between their respective
pro 2erties, the width of "a six-inch post
being the bone of contention. Failing
to arrive at an amicable settlement,
the parties agreed to submit their dis
pute to the arbitration of one of the
Town Trustees, who, in rendering a
decision, said, with genuine American
gallantry: THAT whenever there was
such a small matter as a six-inch post
in dispute between a mar and a wo-
man, he was in favor of giving it to the
woman, every time" And it was so
ordered.

Tue supreme Court rendered no de-

The general opinion of the bar is that
an elaborate decision is being prepared
which will be a finality in the case.
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. II.
The annual meeting of the CALIFORNIA
Mining COMPANY was held to. day.
Those who anticipated a scene similar
to that enacted at the recent Consolida-
ted Virginia meeting were disappoint-
ed. The meeting was purely formal,
occupying but "A few minutes. The
Secretary cast the vote for the old
Board of Trustees. The Presidents
report contained no features of interest.
The report OF the superintendent is
a gratifying exhibit. The mine pro-
duced during the year nearly $4,000
tons of ore III. 800 tons were reduced,
per cent. of the assay value. The gold
and silver in the bullion are nearly
| equal in value. On ,400-foot level con
nection has been made whit the Ophir,
| securing good ventilation. The ore
body extends above this level a dis
lance yet undetermined, but it is evi-
IDENTIFY extensive and valuable. From
the 1,500-foot level much ore has
been extracted, and both ends o.
the level show large and valuable
ore bodies. On the l550-foot level
the drift is running lengthwise in the
middle of the vein the whole length,
and the mine passes all the way
through excellent ore. Cross cuts and

Probable Compromise on the Elec-

WASHINGTON. Jan. I6.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.
Senator Sherman's bill authorizing
the coinage of "A silver dollar of 4l2%
grams, to be issued only in exchange
for outstanding legal tender notes, and
to have merely an equal legal tender
power, does not come from the Finance
Committee, but simply embodies his
individual views as heretofore fore
Swallowed in these dispatches. The
ultra silver men will not be satisfied
by any such compromise. A deter
mination to urge the prompt enact
ment, by the Senate of the House bill
was clearly evidenced by the action of
the House to-day in rejecting the Sen
ate bill for the appointment of com
missioners to an International Confer
ence on the subject of the proper rela-
tive values of gold and silver; which
was successfully opposed, on the sole
ground that 1t would tend to delay the
complete RECOMMENDATION Of silver. The
single standard advocates, on the other
hand, are considerably alarmed that
Sherman has abandoned his original
position and advanced SO far toward
the camp of their enemies.

The San opposes the scheme as one
with which the country will not be

says, should not enter into the settle

ing the electoral vote is not one of the
proper functions of the Supreme Court.
The World also throws cold water on
