AN EPITAPH.-The Granite Cutters Journal has the following Passed away from earthly troubles, in the prime of life, and midst of a useful career, Bro. James Keith, of Richmond, Va., who represented Richmond and Sydney Point branches at the congress of our union, held in Boston last October. We sin cerely hope that what is our loss will be his gain, and that in the unseen world he has hankered something better thar granite, and that the trials of enduring the whims and caprices of earthly bosses is fully recompensed to him by the en ioyment of heavenly bliss.

Habit.

Somebody has been trying his skill on the word "habit" and he works it out thus ''Habit is hard to overcome. If you take off the first letter it does not change a bit. If you take off another you still have bit left. If you still take off another the whole of it re- mains. You. take off another, it is not t tetally used up. All of which goes to show that if you wish to get rid of habit you must throw it of altogether"

Efficient Acting Quartermasters.

A Kroumir chieftain last summer paid 8 high compliment to the Tunisian regulars.
 "You are fortunate" said traveller to him, ''that, in spite of your depreda- tions, the Boy does not send an expedi- tionary column against you"
 ''Yes, indeed, very unfortunate" re- piled the chieftain.
 Unfortunate ?" echoed the traveller.
 sYes, unfortunate. When he sends an expedition against us it always leaves it's arms and baggage here ]"
 The above reminds us of story o1 the war. Gen. Angur sent new regi- ment of cavalry to lay about Fairfax Court House and watch Moseby. The regiment was in such trouble all the time, that it was found necessary to re- move it and send veteran regiment in it's place. Shortly after the removal Gen. Angur was surprised one day at receiving note from Moseby. It said "Dear General regret exceedingl y that you have seen fit to remove the the regiment of cavalry from Fairfax Court House. They have been acting quartermasters for me for some time and I must say they have proved to be the best quart rtermasters I ever had.

 of Vienna, was summoned recently to Kirwin, in Russian Poland, to perform
 dental operation on the Countess Wa leska. At the border station of Radjwi-

 his baggage this suspicion became fixed and positive, and the unfortunate dentist narrowly escaped faring roughly. He tried to explain the working of the ap- paratus, but without much avail and when he was finally allowed to go on his way @ detective accompanied him until he met the servants and carriage of the Countess.

PACIFIC COAST ADVICES.
Continuation of the a Francisco
Mint Investigation.

= W AZ 1E-
SAN Francisco, July 27.-In the Mint
investigation to-day Alex. Martin, melter
and r%etiner, was on the stand. He testi-
fed that sometimes Northern Belle bullion
was fit for coming, and sometimes other
wise. The Conner had frequently COM
planned of it, and when found unfit for use
it was returned. If the proper deduction
had been made the great losses OF 1880
would have been avoided. The question
of admitting evidence regarding the pre-
yious administration of the Mint was ar
gued at length. and decided in the afiirma-
tive, counsel for the defense claiming that
it would disprove the leading charge of
Page, that Dodge had received low grade
bullion from the Anglo California Bank
without making the proper deductions, by
an arrangement with the President Of that
bank. Witness continued, and said that
Northern Belle and similar low grade
bullion had been received during the pre-
vious administration, and that he had re-
ceiyed no special instructions from Dodge
relative to Northern Belle bullion, but
were dispersed over all low grade bullion
received. He knew of nothing leading
him TO believe that favoritism had been
shown to the Anglo-California Bank. On
cross-examination the witness testified
there was nothing secret in the fact OF
losses sustained on low grade bullion. The
losses Of 1880 were about two-thirds OF
the legal allowance for wastage. The earn
ings of the refinery department for that
year more than covered all losses.

The San Francisco Exchange is doubt
full about Jay Gould's alleged plans OF
railway development on this coast.
Among other things the Exchange says
We don't like to discredit the story, Tor
really parts of it seem plausible enough,
but if it is true the hitherto accepted
plans Of the great road Builders must
have undergone a radical change. For
instance, we can hardly believe that the
Atlantic and Pacific are going to forego
their plan Of crossing Arizona, entering
California at the Needles and continuing
ON up to San Francisco; nor can we be-
lieve that they would cooperate with
Gould in constructing a line farther north
across Nevada to San Francisco to COM
pete with themselves. That part OF the
story therefore we decline to accept as
probable. That the Texas Pacific might
ioin in the movement is nothing strange.
for they surely would not want to build
along the old survey now that another
road is already in operation. However,
we prefer to await developments before
discussing the matter in all its bearings.

Not Hilarious,

The Richmond Company is not particu-
larry hilarious over it's empty victory. OF
course 1t is willing to accept the coveted
ground and the bonanza which it contains
whether secured under the reign of yicto-
ria or George the Third. But they are by
no means happy, They are in a worse fix
to-day than before this decision was rem
dered. The ironclad st. George patent has
been wiped Of existence. The Albion
has an older application by three months,
without protest, for the disputed premises
than the Victoria patent. The Victoria
applied for a patent October 10, 1878.
Albion No. l applied July Q, 1878. or
three months earlier. Even on the
theory on which the case has Just been de-
cided. the Albion must win the momen it
gets into a higher tribunal. The Rich
mond is tied up and cannot destroy the
estate. The Albion is as sure to come
off the victor in the long run as that
day follows night. We shall be surprised
if the Richmond does not do some appeal
ing ON its exceptions taken in the late
trial. 1t certainly has little to hope for in
relying upon the Victoria patent. That
will be kicked higher than a kite before
snow flies.

In short, / am clearly Of opinion that
the st. George patent was issued without
authority Of law, while the land embraced
in the application was reserved from sale
AZ effectually as though there had been a
special act Of Congress excluding it, and
that therefore ii is also absolutely void.
-[Judge Rives' decision.
PROFESSIONALLY that is good law,
and the law. And yet he decides that
the Government could, and did make a
valid sale Of the same ground to the
same party 1.-THE Richmond Company by
the issuance of the Victoria patent. In
other words, Judge Rives holds that the
st. George patent is rotd because the
land was reserved" and, as a logical
sequence, finds that the Victoria patent
is ralid for the same reason. Boiled down,
this is the whole decision. 1t is self
contradictory on its face, and the aver
age layman is led irresistibly to the con-
clusion that a four.horse team may be
driven right through any part OF 1t.

The e. &C. Road.

The Reno Journal says the Eureka &
Colorado Railroad will active
operations this week. Contracts were ad-
vertised for yesterday. The new road will
be built with money furnished by German
and English capitalists, and the company
has abandoned all idea of the $500. 900 in
bonds from the counties of Eureka, White
Pine and Lincoln. From a gentleman
largely interested in the scheme we learn
that a few days ago the Central Pacific
folks offered to furnish half the money to
build the road. The offer was declined.
The road will have a freight bonanza as
IL is constructed, as there are is, 900 tons
OF lead ready for shipment, and by the
time the road is completed there will be
10000 tons additional.

How the Decision Is Viewed by IN
President of the Albion.

How the Decision Is Viewed by the
President of b Albion.
President Robinson yesterday forwarded
the following dispatch to the head office of
the Albion Company in San Francisco:
EUREKA. NEVADA, July "a, 1881.
Decision rendered to-day found all dis
puted questions in our favor. So that Su-
preme Court can order proper judgment,
Judge found st. George patent void and
sustains the Victoria patent, which was
thought OF too little consequence for Ia
bored argument on either side-as Rising
had ruled in our favor from the benefit
being a junior patent on a junior claim,
and the court overlooked the fact that the
application for st. George patent and the
protest thereto withdrew the ledge from
market while the question Of the right to
purchase it was pending in the court. He
also overlooked the fact that Rose was en-
titled to receive a patent on the St. George
application il he recovered in this action.
relating back to the filing of the applica-
ton, and that for these reasons the Vie
toria is void. Injunction granted by court
at our request until the various cases are
heard in September. Judgment sus-
pended until court meets in September.
Eureka daily sentinel. [volume] (Eureka, Nev.) 1871-1887, 1881-07-28

Judge Rives acted manly in granting a
restraining order to prevent the Richmond
working the controversial ground pending
the hearing of the other cases between
the parties. He suspended judgment in
the case decided until the meeting
of the Court at the September term.
Also, he granted a temporary restraining
order against the Richmond until the same
date, requiring the Albion to file q bond
in the sum of $40. 900. The bond was
promptly furnished with the following
sureties: E. N. Robinson, j. @. Bothin,
Charles Graham, G. L. Broy, A. Rosen-
helm, r. Crossan, W. E. Davidson,
and James Kyle. And thus matters
stand at this writing. The Albion expects
to get a hearing in the Supreme Court
during September or October.
