Trade Dollars Must Go.

Trade dollars were coined for the Chi
nese, and most Of them sent to China.
Some were retained in this country, be-
cause there was a profit in their %circula-
ton for a time; and during that interval
some Of those exported were re-imported
for speculative reasons. AS a result there
was over SIS, 1000, 900 in this coin in the
hands of Eastern brokers five or six years
ago. Some Of the large owners have ever
since been rapping at the doors OF Con-
gress for the privilege of exchanging these
coins Of 400 grains for those of 412k
grains, piece for piece. Their claims ap-
peared to be reasonable, as the Govern.
ment would gain 7h grains on each piece
so exchanged. but then the Government
can do better than that, and so the trade
dollar brokers have been turned away. 1t
ia hardly probable that they will repeat the
experiment at the next session of Congress.
It is noticed that Of the 1,121, 627 in
American silver coin exported out of the
country in the last fiscal year. S1,073.1 50
was in trade dollars. Others have gone to
the melting pot as bullion. Soon the trade
dollar will be a curiosity in the East as ii
Is in Nevada.

A SHIT for $500.

Thos. Dixon entered suit yesterday In the
Justice Court against JerryAhern orecover
$500, which amount is alleged to be due
him for the rent of a parcel OF land above
the Richmond works for 60 months at SIS a
month. Dixon alleges that on the 10th
day OF Septemb Der, 1880, he rented the land
in question to Ahern and it was used by
the latter for the purpose of storing away
wood on. Ahern now alleges that Dixon
is not now nor was he ever the owner ofthe
land. for which he seeks to recover rent,
or that he ever agreed to pay Dixon for the
use Of the land or any part Of it. More
over, Ahern claims that he has been in the
actual, quiet and peaceable possession OF
the land upon which the wood was depos-
tied for more than five years prior to the
commencement OF this action. Inasmuch
as the case involves the question OF title to
the land II was transferred to the District
Court for trial.

Francahua to-day instituted a suit against
the city of San Francisco to have the de-
PENDANT declared q trustee for her of the
tract of land included between Franklin,
Lyon and Union streets and the water
front, which comprises 100 squares Of
outside city lands. valued at about 50, 900,
900. She claims the tract mentioned was
granted her father. Gabriel Castro, by an
alcalde. of the old Pueblo Of Yerba Buena,
in 1886. The title TO the whole OF Yerba

by the Mexican Government. A large
portion OF this property is now occupied
and built upon by persons who first pre-

THE RICHMON D-ALRION CASE,
The state Supreme Court Affirm
Order of the District Court
Granting q New Trial.

The state Supreme Court Amrms
Order of the District Court
Granting "a New Trial.
The Supreme Cour. has affirmed the de-
cision OF Judge Rives in granting q new
trial from the verdict in the case with the
Richmond in which ii was awarded $13,-
$50. The Supreme Court holds that the
Albion il entitled to at least SIS, 456 46,
and that $50, 1877 06 would not be out of
the way according to the evidence. The
following is a part OF the decision as given
In Carson last Tuesday:
1.-The testimony upon the part Of re-
spondent makes about 1000 tons gross.
The deductions for waste and moisture,
claimed by appellant. would leave the
amount over 4 500 tons net. Estimating
the amount Of ore and the value upon the
testimony Of respondents witnesses, we
have many thousands Of dollars more
than the amount found by the jury.
Estimating the net amount of the ore at
2'T2s tons, as testified to by ap.
pehant's Witnesses. and its value at $40
per ton, as testified to by some OF the
Witnesses for APPELLANT, and the market
value at So SO per ton, as testified to BY
Mr.. Richard. we have the sum OF $685.
1856 20; adding the admitted damages OF
$500 and legal interest for three years
would make a total OF $50. 727 06. which is
sf7,477 06 more than the verdict OF the
Jury. Even estimating ii at S35 per ton,

A suit is now before Judge Sawyer OF

that on the l4th OF May, 1881, the re-
spondent, r. W. Waterman, made con-
tract to deed within ~ months. to J. s.
Waterman, 2i.l0O Of the r. w. Water

being 600x 500 feet, situated in San Ber-
nardino county. At that time r. w. Wa
terman was indebted to J s. Waterman in
the sum Of Sll, 1853 GA. The latter agreed
to advance money TO develop the mines,
and for that purpose advanced to them,
from time to time, $26. When the
contract was made X. w. Waterman
owned three.fourth undivided interest
in the mines and Porter owned an undi-
vided one-fourth interest. The money
advanced by J. s. Waterman was ex-
pended in the purchase of machinery
and the development of the mines.
In March, 1883, J. s. Waterman
assigned his contract to Abbie l..
Waterman, the plaintiff, but r. w.
WATERMAN refuses to execute q deed
of the property to her. 1t is claimed
that j. $ Waterman performed all the
conditions OF the contract devolving
upon him. Wherefore the Court is
asked to decree that X. w. Waterman
execute to plaintiff deed to twenty
four one-hundredths of the mines and
improvements thereunto belonging. A
suit brought by the same plaintiff
against ]. l.. Porter, to determine IL he
was party to the above mentioned con-
tract, is also on hearing with the afore-
said case.

EAGLE Pass. Texas, December TO-
Sheriff Oglesby, with Robert Dove and
James Oliver, visited the Del Gardo
ranch last evening with a warrant for
the arrest Of Manuel Del Gardo on a
charge Of smuggling and horse stealing.
The ranch is twenty miles below Eagle
Pass on the Rio Grande, and has been
famous for many years rs the rendezvous
for horse-thieves and outlaws of the two
republics, and gang of Mexican SNUG
glers and desperadoes made their head
quarters there. Arriving at the house,
the officers found Del Gardo asleep on
the lower floor and were about to seize
him when he awoke AMI fred 1T Dove,
the bullet grazing his head. The
Sheriff Instantly fired, sending bullet
through Del Gardo's heart. The firing
aroused the gang, who attacked the Of
ficers and drove them from the ranch.
Obtaining reinforcemenis from this
place, the Sheriff again attacked the
ranch at 5 o'clock this morning. Many
shots were exchanged and three hexi
cans we're killed The others escaped
into Mexico carrying several wounded
with them and taking about thirty
horses. all of which are believed to have
been stolen. One of the smnpglers was
arrested. Much plumber was round on
the premises. Del Gardo had been a
terror to the border. and was reputed to
be very rich. The attack will result in
breaking up the worst gang of smugglers

GERMAN SHIP CANAL.
A Long -wishcd-Fcr Project 20 be
Realized.

BRRIrx. December lO.-The Bundles.
rath has unanimously approved the bill
for the construction of the long-spoken-
of ship canal between the Baltic and
North seas. The canal will cost ulti-
mately about 1866, 600, 600 marks. 1t isto
be strongly fortified, and will have a
great military as we'll as commercial
value. In the year 1873 Count Won
Moltke opposed the project on the
ground that 1t would be better to invest
the money required for the construc-
tion OF the canal in increasing the
Imperial fleet, but now that the
plan for founding the navy has been
carried out the Field Marshal has come
around to the views expressed in that
plan. The defenses Of the coast Of Ger
many must always remain divided
task so long as a canal does not unite
the Baltic Sea with the German Ocean
aud enable them to pass from one sea TO
another by a route which does not ex-
pose them to the danger of falling into
foreign hands. The project has been
under the consideration vf the Prussian
government more especially since 1855.
and now at last, as II would seem, II is
going 10 be realized.

soaa Inke pis,r,ct.

Soda Lake Mining District is begun
ming to attract considerable attention in
this section. 1t is the principal topic Of
conversation at all hours OF the day, the
most general impression prevailing that
the mines there indicate bright future
for at least two mining towns that will
be started there within the next three or
four months. The indications are so
favorable, though the developments are
small, that all who are interested there
are quite elated and enthusiastic over
their prospects, although they are in
no wise trying to create boom or ex-
citement, but are rather trying to dis.
courage parties from going oHt there,
especially laboring men without money
seeking employment. There is no work
and small improvements. After the
iirst of January it is expected that some
contract work will be let on sever Il
mines which will require small force
Of men.
The Riggs group of mines and the
Livingstone mine, in Soda Lake District,
have been thoroughly prospected on the
surface, and the latter mine to a dept OF
100 feet, the numerous samples assay
ing so well in lead, silver and gold that
the owners have ample reasons for
being somewhat enthusiastic over the
present prospects. A portion of the
principal ledge for distance of about
/, 900 feet and 300 or 400 feet in width,
running through the ends OF four claims,
has the appearance of being very rich
deposit OF ore and II it continues TO hold
out to considerable depth will be
source Of immense wealth to the FORUM
ate owners.
At present the nearest water to the
camp is twelve miles distant, and is
hauled there once week by II. Z.
Evans. Mr.. Evans is now engaged in
sinking a well near the mines. He is
determined that miners and prospectors
shall have an abundance Of that import
ant fluid. He has sunk well twelve
miles north Of Ludlow, the nearest rail
road station to the mines, and has a
spring about eight miles from this well
and is sinking well six miles from the
