In the case of T. J. Bidwelps heirs vs Richard Gird a settlement was made of the matter in dispute by Judge Edmonds of San Francisco who was sitting for Judge Arick at Bakersfield during the July term. Judge Gardener Was the adminstra- tor Of the estate of Thomas J. Bid we'll deceased. Bidwell and Richard Gird were for many pears intimate friends and associates who finally ill the course of their wanderings went to Arizona prospecting for mines. A valuable mine was discovered by third parties and an interest in it was lUcat- ed in the name of G.rd. The mine was afterward sold Gird realizing $500,000 for the share standing in his name. In the meantime however Bidweil died and q suit was con- menced by his administrator against Gird for one half of the amo1at reali- zed from the Sale of the mine under the claim that Bidwell was an equal partner in the venture, After stout ly contested trial consuming a great length of time in San Bernardino county which is the residence of all the parties Gird was successful and the heirs who are two young and in teresting chilIren were defrated. An appeal was taken however which had not vet been decided when the con- promise was effected.
 The matter of the estate of Bidwell was transferred from San Bernardino to Kern and Wm. B. Carr was appoin- ted administrator of the estate and 1t was ill the Superior Court there that the compromise was consummat- ed.
 The amount paid under the settle ment it is said was in the neighbol- hood of $100,000. Messrs. Stewart < Heron being allowed $25,O00 attor- ney's fees.-L, A. Herald Aug '.

The following letter was received from Kingston last evening by pro minent business man in this city, who kindly allowed us to publish t:
 KNGsToH, N. M., July 28, 1886.
 As I thought you might like to know what sort of town this is, I will write you few lines. The town is very lively just now, and I think that man would do pretty well in business here, although there are q good many stores here, some of winch are doing very well, while others are not doing so well. The wages paid here are $350 Der day. Times are very apt to be better here after awhile, but the mines are not very gond, aud l don't think that they will last, but, there is boom here just at present an it makes things lively, but it will go down again in a short time, as the mines will not last, but they might find some more, and cause another boom. It is very hard to get any property here, that is in the line of houses and lots. The town is building up very rapidly. There gre also good many men at work. It is the best place for business that have been in for some time. Will let you know of any new developments.
 Yours respectfully,
