III ana Tor Lne DlStr1Ct OF California.
Peter Richards, use OF Elizabeth Bittner,
plaintiff vs.. The North British and Mercantile
Insurance Co., defendant.
This was removed from the District
Court of the Nth Judicial District of California
In and for the county OF Los Angeles. After its
removal to thf. Court the complaint was so
amended as to set forth all the facts upon which
the defence relied in order that the merits of
The case might be determined upona demurrer.
The defendant demurred, and the point raised
upon the demurrer was whe. her the following
condition of the policy had been broken and
tn erefore the policy rendered void, viz: up
on the passing or entry OF a decree or foreclosure
or upon a sale under a deed of trust; or If the
property insured be assigned under any bank
rupt or insOlvent law, or any change taken
place in title or possession s. whether by
process or judicial decree, or voluntary trans
fer or conveyance; or ifthis policy shall be as
signed before a loss, without the consent of the
company endorsed hercon the poll
AT the time the insurance was procured the
legal tltle TO the property was in Peter Rich
ards, but Elizabeth Bittner held mortgage
upon It.. OF this fact the insurance company
had notice and the policy was made payable
in case OF loss to Elizabeth Bittner. Before the
expiration of the term of the policy, Elizabeth
Rlltner foreclosed her mortgage upon the prop
erty, decree was entered and sale made by
the Sheriff and Elizabeth Bittner became the
purchaser.
Before the expiration of the period of six
months allowed to the mortga- for redemp-
ton, and during the life of the policy, the prop
erty was totally destroyed by fire A demand
was made upon the company for the payment
of the policy. which was refused by the compa-
ny upon the ground that the policy was voided
by the entry of the decree of foreclosure.
Upon the hearing of the demurrer Judge Saw
yer (Justice of the U. S. Supreme Court concur
ring) overruled the demurrer upon the ground
that there was an insurable interest in the
mortgagor until the time for redemption from
the mortgage sale had passed, and that the pol
icy being payable in case of loss to Elizabeth
Bittner, she was insured well as the mort
gagor to whom the policy was issu; d, and that
therefore the policy was not voided by the en-
Try of the decree OF foreclosure by Elizabeth
Bittner.

Important Insurance Decision.

IF. A. Berlin, Of 5i5 California ST., San Fran
cisco, formerly Of Harrisonburg, Va, was attor-
ney for the plaintiff
EDITOR GAZETTE.-A very important case ol
claim against an Insurance company has lately
been decided by the U. S. Circuit Court of San
Francisco, which will undoubtedly be of great
interest to all who are or will hereafter become
insured for all cases to come hereafter. AS all
these companies have ever proven to be on the
stealing path, we think 1T proper to give it pub
licity, and submit to you the paper with synop-
here that f. A. Berlin was the learned counsel
for the plaintiff and that to his knowledge and
caution is due the success of this case. With
the belief that Mr.. Berlin has proven himself
the true and faithful champion and defender oi
the poor insured we take great pleasure in rec
ommendfng him to all those who may find
themselves imposed upon by that huge ele-
phant-fre insurance companies.

the bestmil ever built woald lie idle
 Where the interests of the mIll-men and miners are 80 necessary to each other-for the mill without ore to work, however elaboratsly built and honestly managed would be valueless and the miners though their mines were mountains of silver would not be worth working if they had not mills to reduce their ore Feeling as we ao the necessity of harmony between these interests re appeal to the gentlemen interested to yield something to each other if necessary for the good of the whole District.
 These thoughts have been inspired from learning that meeting of sew eral of the prominent mine owners and Mir. Jacobs yTas held at the office of Mir. Webster few daye since and that the best of feeling prevailed, and that good results will undoubt- edly flow from 1t.

A Word to the Wise.


 We have observed With some regret the transportation of ore from this camp to tbe McMiIlen camp for re- duetion. Until quite recently the mill at AIcblillenviIle, known as 'Tid- wells mill, {" was the only mill doing custom virk and of course while thsze was no miIl in this camp miners here had to avail themselves of any opportunity that presented itself, but since the completion of the 1e-stamp nil ard furnace. known as the AIi- ami or Townsend's mill and it's per feet working under Supt Jacobs management, ve think it is greatly to the interest Of the miners that they have their ore worked at home. Some of the advantages are, frst--the cost Of packing ore to Tidwell's nil wa understand is two and one-half cents a pound, or $50 per ton, and to the Miami mill from the same mines BIO a ton. Hels we have q saving to start with of twenty dollars per ton, a gum equal to the whole value of ore from mines in California and Nevada, where proprietors consider they have fortune. Again when you compare the Tidwell mill with the Miami the advantages of the latter are very per cephble; its capacity IS at least three times that of the other, to which is
 added 6 furnace for roasting refrac- tory ore, and new and perfect ma chinery throughout, while the other possesses none or these requisites. There is the furtha obligation on the part of the miners to support home institutions. This obligation is mu- tual with oil our citizens whether miners mill-men or merchants. If the people Of Globe district will not fight on tkis hnev then our sue cess as individuals is pro0lematical
 We are necessary to each other and should put shoulder to shoulder" and make Globe District a second Comstock or Virginia City in import ance. What would be said in San Francisco. where the Miami mill is owned, if iteannot procure ore enough in Globe district to keep it running? What would capitalists say when ap- proached by those having mines in this District for sale, it would be ob- Wous, We want no mining interest in 3 District which cannot produce ore sufficient to run one tea-stamp mil In what We have said we do not wish to convey the idea that there is no obligations resting upon ths mill proprieters It belongs to them to see that the prices charged ore not excessive-not above what other mills in the section offer to do the work as, and terms satifactory agreed ePon go. that the miner as well as the mill- man can live. The mill-mon must inspire Lhe miner With the knsWlsd s 2 that he is getting al the bullion there $ in his ore Without thH feeling
