The readers of the Tribune know how
rich the Young America mine is, where
il is located, who are the owners, and so
forth, but many Of them do not know
the story Of its discovery and develop.
ment, which, If written in detail, would
exceed in interest any modern romantic
novel.
Two years ago Oliver Sunderhaus and
Watt Hughes, young men who had
worked for years in this section for
miners wages, concluded that they would
prospect little on their own RESPONSE
bility and see if they could not discover
a quartz ledge which would yield them
more profitable income than the aver
age wage-worker is compensated with for
his dull and monotonous labor. The
agreement was that whatever was struck
by either should be equally divided be-
tween the two. Possessed of few tools
and plenty of energy and perseverance,
they started out going from ridge
TO ridge and canon to canon, digging
into the earth wherever they thought
there was possibility that the coveted
treasure might be hidden. Failure upon
failure to discover the prize did not
daunt their hopes or determination, and
on they tramped, day after day, over
mountain and gorge. But one day their
faith in the old saying, persevere and
you'll succeed, was happily confirmed
when they were rewarded by Sunder-
haus finding the now famous Young
America quartz ledge. Well, to make a
long story short, they finally inter
ested A. G. Bush and 2. Deidesheimer
in their discovery, giving those gentle
men quarter interest each, Sunderhaus
and Hughes retaining the other half.
The company then Incorporated with a
capital stock Of 100000 shares, putting
100, 600 shares on the market, the pro.
ceeds Of which were devoted to opening
up the mine. When the stock was first
put on the market and selling at com.
paratively nominal figure xSherif Mead
came into possession of $1,000 or 30, ,00C
shares. The mine is now paying hand
some dividends. Messrs. Hughes and
Snnkerhaus to-day have q fortune Of
$500, 900 each. Mr.. Busch. who before
counted his wealth by the tens Of thous-
ands, now counts il by the hundreds Of
thousands. Mr.. Deidesheimer, who was
comparatively poor man, does likewise.
Mr.. Mead, whom Dame Fortune had for
some time previously treated with favor.
is now said to possess from $4,000 to
Sl00, 900.

The energy and enterprise that we
have before remarked in the new pro-
prietors Of the Cucamonga lands is be-
ginning to make itself strikingiy visi-
BILE. The grading of new avenues is
the first thing that catches the eye.
Eight or ten teams have been employed
aud nearly ten miles of road have been
graded. Archibald avenue, running In
a straight line from the Hermoaa
church TO the railroad, about one-fourth
of a mile west Of Cucamonga station,
has been put in fine shape. Hermosa
avenue, along the base line, has been
graded on the eastern limit OF the tract
to the road running from the school
house to the Iowa tract. The crew is
now at work on some Of the cross streets
south Of Hermosa, the lands there being
the first upon which water will be piped.
Unusual liberality is shown in opening
up so many streets, so that all who pur-
chase land will lind good roads leading
to tit. The avenues are sixty-slx feet
wide; the cross streets sixty feet. Ar.
rangements are being made to set out
some ten miles Of road on each side with

A point for Travelling statesmen.

A Texas merchant bought bill of
goods from q commercial traveller on
the condition that the latter would not
sell to any other dealer in the same
town. II was further agreed that II
the salesman should violate this agree
meDt the buyer need not pay for the
goods. The drummer. did violate it,
and accordingly the merchant refused
to pay. He was thcreupon sued by the
house which the agent represented. He
set up the agreement as a defence. The
firm claimed that the agreement was
made without their knowledge or con-
sent; that it was beyond the scope Of
their agents authority, and hence was
not binding on them. They further con-
tended that it was contrac! in restraint
OF trade, and therefore Illegal.
The Texas Court of Appeals decides
that the agreement was valid, and
hence that its breach relieved the de-
feadant of the obligation to pay for the
goods. II holds, first, that such a con-
tract was within the scope of the
agents apparent authority, and second.
that. while an agreement in general re-
straint of trade is void. one which "op-
crates merely in partial restraint of trade
is good, provided it be not unreasonable
and there be a consideration" What
ever view the courts of any other State
may take Of such transaction, this de-
cision settles the law in Texas.
