Assessor Fox came before the Board

On this point II will not do to believe all

IMPORTANT CASE.
css One nisisx Company Cos.
denim Rsr 10. Own Use ms Pro-
psrsy of Another Mtning Com.
pany.

There is a cas- now pending in the
District Court which. in come Of its Cd.
sential points. is Of interest 10 the pub
lie. It is a proceeding brought upon
the petition Of the ovsrman Silver Min.
ing Company to have a certain tract OF
land appropriated to its uso for the pur-
pose Of sinking a new shaft, at a point
about three-fourths Of q mile east Of its
present shaft oil Main street In Lower
Gold Hill. The land is sought to be up
propriated by the ovsrman Company
under the Act Of the Legislature Of Ne
vada OF March. 1876.
It Is claimed upon the part Of the de.
PENDANTS in the case that the land sought
10 DO appropriated is a portion OF the
surface Of certain mining claims. and
that being such surface the defendants
have under the laws Of the United States
regulating the relocation and holding Of
mining claims, the exclusive right OF
possession to all OF such surface.
The Overman Company denies that
the land which IL seeks to appropriate,
or any portion Of it. is the surface OF a
mining claim.
The case therefore involves, first-a
question Of fact whether the property
sought to be condemned is in reality the
surface Ola mining claim or claims, and
second-one Of law ; whether, being the
surface OF q mining claim or claims, 1t
can be condemned TO the use Of the
plaintiff under the laws Of the State Of
Nevada.
The case is still further complicated
by the fact that while IL was commenced
against Corcoran. with others, since the
commencement Of the suit, Corcoran
has transferred his title to the Overman
Company. This was, as claimed by
Burton and Heagerty. Of the
mining claim. the surface OF which Is
sought to DO condemned, aud upon
which the 0verman new shaft, they al
leae. is situated. but q narrow strip lying
below the said shaft. The question OF
fact alone Is not Of s much importance,
but taken In connection with the en-
deavor to condemn the surface. will be
most important to the general public.
provided the condemnation takes place.
In other words, the question whether
one mining company can, under ou
State law. condemn the mining property
or surface rights OF another mining COM
pany. even by paying an adjudged
equivalent. is one Of vital Importance to
the whole community. For this reason
the public will await the sventuation Of
this suit with anxiety,

QUEER FREAKS OF AIR.

A representative OF the NEWS yester.
day fell into conversation with Hugh
Lamb. who for nearly seven years has
been foreman OF the Consolidated Vir-
ginia mine. and from him learned some
queer things in relation to the ventila.

year ago there was a period OF six weeks
that the air changed from a downcast to
an upcast at the @. & O.. shaft, and
from an upcast to q downcast at the
Consolidated Virginia shaft. During
that period the heat in the mine became

ever. that this will last but a few days
longer. and that when the connection is
made between the 0phir 1000 level and
the 1850 Of the California the air cur.

normal condition. aud tho bonanza

stock. Mr.. Lamb further says that
when the wind shifts from its accus.
toned southern quarter into the north,
ventilation is always bad in the mines.
and that We have had a great deal OF
north wind within the last two weeks.
II is because Of tho impossibility OF
men working on the 1850 and 1850
levels that they have been discharged.
1t was q necessity. both as q humani.

Of the stockholders Of the mine. When
