Supreme Court Mining Decision.

WASHINGTON. November ga de-
oision was rendered by the Supreme
Court yesterday in the cases Of the Ivan
hoe Mining Company. plaintiff In error,
against the Keystone Consolidated Min.
ing Company. involving the title to the
eastern half OF Section Sc. in Amador
county, in possession Of the Keystone
Company under patent Of the United
States. and which 10 claimed by the
Ivanhoe Company under grant to Cali
forpia for school purposes. This Court
holds that the title to the lands In con-
troversy did not pass to California by
the School Grant Act Of 1863. for the
reason, First-That all mineral lands
were intended by Congress to be sx-
emptsd from the operation OF the school
grant; and. second. inasmuch a. the
land In controversy had been improved
and cultivated previous TO the survey
which fixed tho limit Of the school grant.
II was exempted from the operation OF
the School Grant Act by virtue Of Seo-
ton z Of that Law. The judgment Of
the Circuit Court Of the United States
for the District OF California IL. there.
fore, affirmed. Judge Field took no
part In the decision.

Superintendent Hamilton reports this
morning that the FIRE in the Con. lmpe-
rial is entirely out. Men have oesn
down the shaft to the 1900 level to
reconuoitsr. There is 9 little gas yet
coming up the incline but none up the
shaft to amount to anything.
The shift boss has also been on the
1850 level up to the fre point. Not q
spark remains uneItinguishsd and fresh
air has been turned in to clear out the
gas. This gas is heavy and settles In
places, but there 10 NO doubt o bu.
that work on the lower levels Of the
mine will be resumed tomorrow. Mr..
Hamilton 10 satisfied that the only dam
age done to the mine was In burning out
the winzs from the 2050 to the 2l3S
level and the station at its top.
In resuming operations, however. the
north winzs between these two levels
will be utilized. This winzs was burned
at the time Of the FIRE about . year ago,
but was we'll repaired and timbered for
the purpose Of ventilation. and Tor use

On the surface everything 10 moving

saws in operation. and there 10 no sign
that anything out OF the usual course
has occurred. Taken q . whole. the
IRE has been Q lucky misfortune. as NO
life has been lost and but little damsgs

Speculation Is still rife a. 10 its origin.
In the first place no miner 10 allowed to
have his candle out Of q closed lantern
in any part Of the mine. except when at
work. The station ct the top OF the
burned winzs was lighted by . lamp and

he had no other light there. and the
shift boss. who left the station the last
one. eItipguishsa the lamp and left oil

on the origin Of the blaze. There are

may be due. but neither are probabili-

New Yonx. November 23.-Ths Trib-
une, regarding the promised develop
msn,s in the Morey letter case. says:
Investigation has shown that the fOrssr,
wss not made from GsrAsld's bandwrit-
iug or signature, but that Of Brown. bis
stenographer and a%mauueusis. The
forRsr or forssrs had TO get . letter from

who wrote to Garfield . letter intended
TO draw out O personal reply from him.
but the reply was written BY Brown and
signed by him. 1t was not OF the
slightest CONSCIOUSNESS. being merely .
reference Of his correspondent to GER
tain printed documents sent by the same
mail; yet II was carefully photo-litho.

Browns to which he had attached the
name OF Garfield BY authorization. and
II 10 believed that that letter was the one

10y letter was an imitation Of that Of
Garfield. lii Q common practice among
persons having . large correspondence
to have limitations Of their signatures
made by their confidential clerks.
Interesting discoveries are made OF
Hadley's connection with the Aorey

The records Of the House will show this
to be true.
