IllegltimatA Enclosures.

In the case of the United States
Government VS.. the Brighton Ranch
Company, Judge Brewer, of the
United States circuit court, at Oma-
ha, has rendered a decision that the
has fenced in about $1,000
acres of land belonging to the gov
ernment. Suit was brought by the
latter to compel the company to tear
down the fence. The decision of
Judge Brewer in effect is that the
Brighton Ranch Company has no
right to construct fences upon gov
eminent land and the government
had absolute right to have the fence
removed, If 1t saw fit to exercise that
privilege; that the construction of
fences upon government lands was
an obstruction and nuisance, and the
proper remedy was by q bill in
equity, and that, In fact, . bill In
equity was the only proper and ade-
duate remedy in such case. he
granted q temporary Injunction en-
Joining the defendants from con-
structiDg any additional or cross
fences upon lands enclosed by them,
but said he would await final hearing
before issuing . mandatory injunc.
ton requiring the removal of all
fences. Thereupon MI. Woolworth
took leave to file an amended answer,
bv which the case will not be finally
heard at the present term of court.
This decision settles the law in that
circuit that cattlemen have no right
to enclose government lands for
herding purposes.

had been offered, but were not sold.
These two horses were found In pos
seasion of thieves, and $3.50 IN
money was found upon their persons,
being q part, as is supposed, OF the
Gale Of the stolen property, and which
will be returned to the purchaser,
Charles Bernard. proprietor OF the

In and Around Bullion.

There are between twenty-five and
thirty men employed by the May
flower company at present, says the
Times, and about twenty by the
Wood River company. The Bates &
Boyd group employs about a dozen,
the Bay State grou? about the same,
the Red Elephant, o.. K, Valley
View, and Mountain View, about
thirty altogether. The Marrow
Gauge group employs a dozen. the
Idah0an the same number, and
various other claims about twenty.
This is about the maximum number.
of men at work in and around Bull
lion at present.
Within q month or two, however,
this number will probably be nearly
doubled. The IdahOan will doubt
less change hsnds, when a large
number of men will be at once set to
work, while the force on the May
flower will probably be doubled, and
that of the Wood River company
and the Eureka mine will also be In.
creased. But n" very large OF gen.
eral Increase need be looked for until
next spring.

Cheap Mill.

It would seem that about as cheap
a mill as eau be constructed can be
gotten up with an ordinary Burleigh
or Ingersoll drill, q stamp being at
tached in place Of the drill. The su-
perintendent of one of the Comstock
mines has so adjusted q drll! for
prospecting purposes, and he finds
he can crush about ten ems OF ore
per day with it. Such 'Fdrill costs
about $500, therefore, for some $500,
not counting in the boiler that would
be required to produce the steam for
running. one might rig up q mill
having a capacity of "A tons per day.
The next improvement made IN
quartz mills will probably be to ap-
ply the steam directly to each stamp,
the stem Of the stamp moving as a
piston in the cylinder.

The Briton.

The following anecdote is told in
relation to the unsociable habits of
Englishmen who travel. An old
American gentleman was travelling
from Liverpool to London. Three
gentlemen in all occupied the car
rage, and for an hour after the train
had begun its journey never one ex-
changed a syllable with another. At
last the American broke silence, and
said: "Gentlemen, I am ID,
I have come from. l have
been q merchant for fifty years. and
now I am living In ease l Am
eighty years of age, and l have two
eyes and one tongue, and, like good
many of my countrymen, | take a
pleasure in using them. My eyes
feel the period in which they have
done me- service, and I cannot read
for the motion Of the train. Having
introduced myself, I trust, GENTLE
men, you will not look upon me as q
pickpOcket."
At this one Of the gentlemen drew
out his card case and gave his card.
This example was Immediately fol-
lowed by the other. "What, gentle
men!" said the American, "you do
not seem to know one another; let
me introduce you;" and with that he
crossed his arms and presented the
card of one to the other. This was
the beginning of a warm and long
friendship.-L0nd0n Echo.
