IMPORTANT MINING SUIT.

The Richmond and Eureka Consolidated
Mining suits which are now pending in the
courts Of San Francisco being of such great
Importance and involving so much money,
we called upon distinguished member of the
bar, who is retained as counsul in the cases,
to elicit some of the facts connected therein,
which must undoubtedly prove OF interest to
residents of this State. The principles
attached to this case are to be for the first
time tested by any court. And the property
in controversy runs into the millions. In
the event of a verdict in favor Of the Eureka
Consolidated Mining Company being rendered
the Richmond Company will be mulcted in
the sum of 81 900, 900 for damages alone. The
principal geological question involved in these
cases is whether the lime stone belt IN that
country over the underlying quartz and
under the superimposed shale, and in which
lime stone belt the ore bodies are found can
be considered within the meaning of the Act
of Congress as lode, and if the several
bodies OF ore can be called one mine. The
experts were questioned upon this vital point.
Professor Rodgers and others testified that
the lime stone belt is lode. Clarence King
and others expressed the opinion that the
lime stone belt was not a lode, but the
country rock inclosing the ore bodies which
were found in what they denominated pipe
vein The testimony was closed on the Sd
instant, and followed by argument Of counsel
on both sides. An early decision is expected.

FIFE LAST NIGHT.

At 10 o'clock last night destructive fir
broke out in q vacant house until recent!
occupied by c. Moger, on Nevada street neal
Washington. The flames rapidly commuica
| ted to the corner house occupied by Mr.
Kennedy, who keeps a shoe store opposite
! the Mint Some furniture was saved out Of
this house, but the flames spread SO rapidly
that it was impossible to save all. The loss
is considerable but the amount could not be
ascertained owing to the lateness of the hour.
The origin of the fire is mystery, as it &C.
Cured in an untenanted house. The amount
of insurance, if any, could not be learned.
The buildings destroyed were the prop
erty of R. B. Ellsworth. Owing to the
promptness of the Virginia & Truckee Rail
road in their engine to work, large amount
of property was saved from destruction, as
quite a number of frame buildings were in
close proximity to those destroyed.
Visiting the studio of Mr.. G. B. Mcclellan,
yesterday, we observed several pictures on
the easels which promise to be of great ele-
gance and superb finish when completed

the mother? There is touching orphanage
implied on the other side when the little girl
earlier says: "Papa loves the baby, too, and
he loves me. He comes here sometimes on
Sunday" Elsewhere we are told that he has
gray moustache; but the little girl likes it
better than the black moustache OF the
stranger who takes the pretty woman to
drive. This then is the situation; the rat her
is much older than the beautiful mother;
he is a man wholly absorbed in his business; ;
he only comes to Long Branch sometimes,
even on Sunday. That is, he sends his love
" Young wife alone to one of the most fash
ionable watering places in the country and
leaves her there practically alone. Is she
alone to blame for all that follows?
Nor can | forget the possibility OF still
deeper shadows. If anything is forced upon
one by common Justice it is that after all, the
social offenses of women of the world end
where the sins of men of the same class be-
gin-so different is the standard between the
two. People read with a sense of horror the
description, true or fictitious, of a ladies'
gambling house in San Francisco, yet any
man of wealth may habitually gamble for
thousands, at cards as well as in stocks, and
lose no standing in church or state. No man
could tolerate the thought that his wife or
sister should be seen visibly excited by cham
payne at an entertainment; yet the palate OF
the critic might demand stimulants of more
potent quality, and excess might be to MN
joke. The elimination of all recognized
crime in a woman is breach of the marriage
VOW; but there are whole circles OF well-bred
society in which fidelity in this respect Is
scarcely even expected Of the husband.
In such circles, the man who would be
readiest to shoot the seducer of his wife Will
belheard at his clubhouse proclaimingg that
ssmarried women are fair game" and that 1t
is every husbands business to look out for
himself. Make the sins of the women OF
fashionable life as great as you please, they
only copy in timid and faltering way the
holder vices of their husbands and brothers.
At the worst, they end where their husbands
begin. In order to throw blame exclusively
on the wives, it is necessary to assume for
them standard which applies to no others.
Men condemn women by code of morals
which they set up for women only. They ask
when the ruin of the household comes: "Are
there no mothers now?" but they 40 not
ask, "Where are the husbands and the
fathers ?'

THE IMPROVEMENT.


There is certainly terrible power in this
story. There is something absolutely fearful
in making child of nine the imaginary mar
rator of domestic tragedy so thrilling. The
childish phrases, the misspellings, the inno-
cent misunderstanding of what goes on be-
fore her eyes-these give almost too much
pathos to an old, old story. The imaginary
child seems almost wronged in being made
thus unconsciously the merciless witness
against the sins OF those around her. This
unconsciousness-the innocent hand of a
little girl unwilling the agony and despair Of
household-has favor of Greek tragedy
about 1t, and makes the tale so powerful that
1t haunts you. 1t is of course a stretch Of
probability to suppose child of nine writing
thus; but there is no absolute impossibility
about it, and the events described are only
too possible, especially at a place like Long
Branch. At one point and one only l wish
to interpose caution, and to remind the
reader that the narrative, as it stands, does
not tell quite the whole of the tale.
When the afflicted father comes upon the
scene and asks: "Are there no mothers now
adays?" all hearts must bleed for MIN. But
is it so sure that theswhole blanc rests upor
