agreed upon:
State of Nevada VS.. California Minir -
Company In Consideration of the payment
of the tax and costs, amounting to $,
included in the judgement entered in the
above entitled action, and now pending on
appeal in the Supreme Court of the State of
Nevada, it is hereby stipulated and agreed by
the plaintiff in said action, that if the judge
ment so appealed from be affirmed as to the
percentage or penalty, or any part thereof,
included in said judgment, then on the re-
mittitur to the District Court the defendent
shall be entitled to an order of said District
Court, and the Court shall enter such order

The proceedings reported above in no wise
effect the case entitled Forbes VS.. Thomas
Gracey, at present on the calendar of the
United States Supreme Court, on appeal from
a lower Court. The suit of Forbes enjoins
the Assessor from levying or collecting the
tax on the proceeds of the mines during the
fist quarter of 1876. Not one cent will
change hands on the result, the suit having
been brought for the sole purpose of testing
the constitutionality of the law under which
the tax is levied.
About o'clock this afternoon all of the |
above judgments were satisfied by the pay
ment of the sum of S196,812 80 by the
California Mining Company and of $780,
