An interesting bit Of mining law is dis
cussed in the opinion filed last week in the
Supreme Court in the case Of J. C. Lowry
administrator, and Others, against J. NJ. Hay.
Thirteen years ago Hay purchased from the
Salisbury and Baltimore Railroad, for 81 .242
tract Of land in Somerset county. The
deed provided that the company should re-
tain the right TO mine underneath the sur.
face all minerals, excepting limestone. A
short time after the sale j. e. Lowry and
Others leased the railroad and began mining
operations on the property they had bought.
The latter discovered that they were serious
~ injuring the surface land and brought
suit for damages, recovering $50 At the
trial the counsel for Lowry & Co. asked that
the jury b. charged that il they found the
mining had been carried ON carefully they
should render verdict in favor ofthe les
sees Of the railroad. because Hay bought the
property with the Knowledge that mining
was to be carried on. The Judge refused to
50 charge the jury and the Supreme Court
uPhelds the yerdic. fthe Common Pleas
Court OF Somerset county. ON the ground
that the absolute right ofsuppors to sustain
the surface, which the law implies, cannot
be overcome without al agreement distinct
ly waiving that obligation.

THIRTY MILES OF IcE.-The Youghiogheny
river is frozen over without a break from
Mckeesport to Broadford distance of thirty
miles. At some points the ice is three feet
thick, and at Others the ice is gorged and
extends to the bottom Of the river. At FL
rod four-horse wagons are crossing. All
along the valley there is from ten to twelve
inches of snow. Should this go of with a
rain, the coal men and other men along the
river are fearful of the result. The ice is
frozen SO thick, and the gorges are so heavy
that it will take considerable rise TO move
it out.
