An Important Case Decided.

THE TITLE TO THE FEDERAL BUILDING PROP
ERTY.
The Court in General Term to-day decided
the case of E. A. Rollins agt. L. c. Robbins. in
volvfng the title to the Federal building prop
erty, on the corner of 9TH and streets, Judge
Wylie, delivering the opinion of the court.
This Is probably the most intricate case which
has ever been before the court, and the judge
was over an hour in delivering the opinion OF
the court.
Mr.. Robbins in October, 1873, conveyed TO
Messrs. HitZ, Mattingly and Prentiss, for the
German American bank, of which he claimed
the fee, the lots at the corner fronting 40 feet
street and 100 feet on 9TH street, on which
there were encumbrances for $4,000, and
also assigned his leasehold to four other pieces
OF property for ten years, the lessees to pay
$1,000 per year rental, and to take up the deeds
of trust, and If. at the expiration of the term,
the bank paid Robbins S93 900 he was To give
title to the whole property: and IL not, Robbins
was to pay the bank for what was expended
upon it. Rollins purchased the interest of Hitz
ct al from the receiver of the bank, and, neither
party being willing to comply with the
terms OF the deeds or leases, Rollins asks the
sale of the property to pay the membranes,
&C. The court decides in effect that Rollins
has title to the four leasehold lots, and Robbins
the corner lot, 40 by 100 feet, subject TO the
$685. 900, without interest.
MIR. Robbins noted an appeal to the Supreme
Court of the United States.

Stay Away from Butte, MT.

Butte. NJ. T., IS perhaps the best camp in the world for laboring men, says the Miner of that town. Wages are high ahd regularly paid. In the mines, mills and smelters here there are over four thousand men employed, and their wa ges amount to S4O0,0OO per month. These facts seem to have been circulated throughout the country, and the result has been a tremendous influx Of labor ing men seeking employment in every avenue or trade. A large malOrIty of them are miners from the plsyed-out camps of Colorado, Utah and Nevada Most of them are "broke," and they come here expecting to get work on their arri- val, only to be disappointed. Every mining superintendent receives from twenty to one hundred applications per day for work which he cannot give. The situation is appalling. Winter is con- ing on, and 1t will be cold and long. What these idle men will do to sustain themselves becomes a very important problem to other people here as well as 10 themselves. IL will do them no good to remain here. Butte cannot give em- ployment to all the men in the Rocky Mountains Montana during the winter months possesses no attractions for idle men, and they will suffer if they remain here in such large numbers. There is nothing ahead of them but continued idlsness, unless by scattering to the small mining districts, wOod-cAmps and farms, they can secure employment un- til the prospecting season next year.
