THE GREAT SUIT.
False Reports Regarding the status
of the Albion in h Case.

Oh the AlDIOU III enc Shscs
The San Francisco Daily Report is aid
ing our neighbor in incorporating the
status Of the Albion in the pending litiga-
ton. The Stock Exchange a~rraigns the
Report for its malicious work vigorously
as follows:
A number Of persons engaged in bear
ing the stock Of the Albion Mining Com
pany have recently engaged in a very dis
reputable business, and that is the spread
ing of bogus kilograms andfalse reports
concerning the suit now in progress at
Eureka, with a view to breaking the mar
ket for Albion shares. They are aided in
this work by a venal and malicious news
paper, which, having failed to secure the
business patronage of the Albion Com
pany, is quite ready to injure it. On
Thursday this malicious newspaper pub
lished a telegram which it claimed to have
got from Eureka, to the effect that the
Court had denied the Albion petition for
an intervenor, and that this was considered
ga great blow for the Albion Company"
The bogus dispatch 6 on 1.-THE Rich
mond people are jubilant and the Albion
ties correspondingly depressed" The
malicious newspaper which failed to secure
the business patronage of the Albion Com
pany, accompanied the bogus dispatch with
an editorial, in which it made no effort TO
conceal its exultation, claiming the deci-
sion as " first blood for the Richmond"
etc. The result of publishing this
false news was that the Albion
stock broke from SO so to So 10 in
one session of the Board, and the bear
conspirators made a good deal of money.
Now, while it was true that the Court de-
MED Albion the right of Intervention, the
effect of it was in no wise such as was
described in the bogus dispatch. II the
latter had given the whole decision it
would have been readily seen that it was
10 victory fer the Richmond. The full de-
cision was, that while the Albion was
denied the right Of Intervention, it was
granted the right of substitution, and
that, too, in just the way the Albion de-
sired-a way which it feared could not be
had, and to overcome which it had sought
to intervene instead. For instance, the Al
bion applied for an Intervention on April
20 last, in order to save any question
which might arise as to limitation on the
st. George patent, on which the four
years would expire May 7 following. The
Richmond opposed this intervention, be-
lieving that it could have the Albion appli-
cation rejected, the Albion must apply
to be substituted for " Rose ct al" which
application could then be thrown put on
the Statute Of Limitation. The Court de-
cided not to allow the Albion to intervene,
but to allow it to be substituted for Rose
ct al, nunc pro tune, as Of April % last,
hus completely shutting out all hope the
Richmond had Of pleading the limitation.
This was e1actEy 1hat the Albion oantedL
the very point for which it was striving in
its application for an intervenor. Yester-
day the same malicious newspaper pub
lished a so-called dispatch that the Court
By consent of the Richmond had discharged
the struck jury, and that this, too, was re-
garded as ga victory for the Richmond"
This dispatch was not only malicious, but
idiotic as well. Everybody knows that the
Richmond applied for the struck jury, and
of course only consented that it be dis
charged when it became absolutely certain
that the Court would hold that such a jury
was unconstitutional. So far it seems to
us that the Albion position has been
strengthened at every point. At any rate,
the case is now on it's merits, and the AL
bion will abide the result. All its friends
ask is that it may have a fair trial, and that
in the course OF it it may not be compelled
to suffer the influence of false kilograms
and lying comments from malicious and
purchasable newspapers.
