shallow Devices OF the Richmond
i'm the Late Agitation.
Mr.. Stewart, in his argument on Satur
day, compared the course and tactics o.
the Richmond Company in the litigation
between 1t aud the Albion TO the peculiar
acts of the cuttIe-ish, which reaches out
its horrid arms in all directions TO draw
into its NAV such prey as it can reach, and
when 1t is attacked in turn, envelopes itseli
in an inky fluid which it discharges from
itself so that 1t cannot be seen. In his
remarks in connection with this connec-
ton Mr.. Stewart read the following list Of
mining claims, set up by the Richmond
Company in their several attacks upon the
Albion, and also in defense Of the present
suit, as representing the arms Of the
cuttle-fsh and its inky cloud: Colorado,
Selkirk, Cyrus, Standard, st. Lawrence,
st. David, st. David No. 2, Great Eastern,
st. Patrick, Rear Guard, Tip Top, vir-
ginia, Mayhower, Poorman, Phillips, St.
George, Victoria, Silver Region. Diagonal.
Ravine; also st. George patent. Victoria
patent, Tip Top patent, Rear Guard pat
emit, Great Eastern patent and Silver
Region patent.
As none Of these claws or arms Of the
fish nave thus far succeeded in drawing
the Uncle Sam claim into its NAV, and as
the Albion turned upon the aggressor, 1t
enveloped itself in the following legal
clouds in the hope that, while thus envel-
oped, some one OF its arms might reach
the victim and draw it within it's
Unsuitable nav Invalid location Of I'm
Gle Sam ; discovery claim void, and conse-
q~uently whole claim and location void ;
Rose not the discoverer Of the claim ;
Phillips the discoverer of the claim no
protest filed by Rose against the Richmond
application for st. George patent; no suit
brought by Rose ; Hixson, one of the To-
Gators Of Uncle Sam, not q citizen ; Uncle
Sam claim not properly staked its loca-
ton shaft had been moved some 80 or 40
feet; no Court fee Of SIS paid when papers
in suit were first filed, and therefore no
suit was brought; statute Of limi-
tations error in pleadings; nc
right to attack st. George patent;
multiple ledge theory; single ledge theory;
laches on Roses part in not prosecuting
his suit; no law on side Of Rose; no rights
on side Of Rose; no equity on side Of Rose;
case could only be tried by struck jury,
and when this was denied could then only
be tried by an ordinary jury; st. George
patent ironclad; Victoria patent ironclad;
both patents invulnerable; Roses suit
must fall because patent had been issued
while it was pending, and last Of all no
suit at all at present because when I'm
mel, the Register here in 1877. had unlaw-
fully sent all the papers in the case to
Washington, there could DO no patent
pending here, and consequently Roses
suit and protest fell to the ground.
With all the foregoing claims each one
representing al arm Of their cuttle-fish
and with all the legal cloud with which it
had surrounded itself and with which the
Albion Company had to contend, it, the
Albion Company, has opposed but one
single harpoon. The Uncle Sam location,
in 1872, unbroken, undisturbed possession
until now, and now only ask q decree
quoting this possession as against this
horrid octopod.
