the Grand Jury has indicted Pinney

the same offense and nine for forgery

of the greatest importance, and may

the whole affair. Ii Is claimed thatthe
appointment of the present Board of

died before the designations Of the pre-

consequently they had no legal right
to con- promise with the heirs. The
fact also remains that i'm coDsenting to

If the present contest Is so continued
that, as no settlement Is reached in the
meantime, the affairs will revert to
their previous condition. John IL.
Lick, and other heirs parties to the
compromise, will be released from
their agreement, and litigation dd in

though Pinney was no going to have
q very hard time after all in getting
out OF his troubles. TheS a Francisco
Grand Jury yesterday made its final

It will be seer that Pinney gets of
with two indictments for obtaining
money under false pretenses, while all
Of the graver charges were ignored.

R E DAILY SENTINEL,


Our late suit was the greatest mining
case ever tried In America, and yet
there was but little attention given to
it by the San Francisco press. The
Enterprise and SENTINEL are the only
Journals on the coast that have printed
the decision Of the Court. The CON-
ments of the Edterprtsc are appended.
We do not agree with our contempt
rary that there was no adequate
ground for taking the case into the
courts. In the first place the Rich
mond was In possession of the disput
I'd territory, and Of course would not
relinquish its claim except through
legal process. In the second place, 1t
had never been definitely determined
that the whole Of kuby Hill constituted
one mammoth ~ore-bearing vein. The
moment you reach that conclusion all
else Is perfectly simple and follows
naturally. Hence the grand marshal
ing Of leading geological experts on the
occasion of ths trial. Nobody dis
puted the end line doctrine enunciated
by Justice Field. That is good law
and strictly in keeping with the Gus.
tom of miners, provided you have a
ledge to apply it to. But you must
first establish q ledge. Following are
the comments of the Enterprise:
The thought which first impresses
the careful reader upon perusal OF the
decision in the a of the Eureka vs..
Richmond, Is one Of wonder that such
q case should eve have been brought
TO trial. So far as the rule which
must govern miners in the tracing and
working Of ores is concerned, the de-
cision Of the court Is but q confirma.
tiun Of the custom which has guided
miners in the working of claims in
this State for ten years. The rule has
ever been that miners must not ex-
tend their work over their end lines.
So fixed has this rule been that it has
been law on the Comstock for years,
and there are no Government patents
here to control boundaries. When the
Richmond managers knew that the
Eureka Company had connected he
uepOSl VI OT0 III OiSputo Will tuo ofo
bodies which found their way to the
surface on ground covered by the Eu-
reka patent, we annot see what they
hoped for by going to the expense of
defending the suit. But the decision
is of absorbing interest in other re
spects. Hereafter, in the location of
mines, miners may know that when
they locate claims upon an ore cham
mel that their claim will be held as a
lead, whether the ore Is found in a sim
gle, continuous assure or whether 1t
be in q broken succession of deposits
in fissures which were caused by b
general breaking up of the outlying
rocks before the solutions which car
ried the precious metals were present.
And, IN INDICATING claims, miners. must
be careful 10 fix their end lines at
right angles with the lead or ore chan
mel. The failure to do this, we think,
was q fatal mistake with the Martin
White Company in Ward district, and
In the light of this decision by the Cir
cult Court, we do not see how the Su-
preme Court of our State can fail to
reverse Judge Coles decision in the
case of the shark mine controversy.
Every prospector, as we'll as every
mining company, should make him
self familiar with the principles de-
clared in this decision by the Circuit
Court.
