Iron-Clad Tickets Sustained.

Last Friday, Judge briggs. of Chicago
rendered a decision which is of much inter
est to those who purchase scalped tickets.
The case was that of Peter 8. Peterson
against the Southern Pacific company, and
the judge instructed the jury to return a
verdict for the defendant. Peterson sued
for $25,00o damages for being put off a
train at Carlin after he had presented a
ticket to the conductor, purchased from a
scalper, to carry him from Sacramento,
CAL, to New Orleans. The conductor took
up the ticket, claiming that TIE name of
+. Weinberg had been erased and that of
Peterson's substituted, and elected him
from the Car. The seventh clause of the
ticket reads: at is not transferable. and
if presented by any other person than the
one named herein, the conductor or agent
at the point of exchange will take it up and
collect full fare" For the plaintiff it was
argued that there was 40 erasure of a name;
that the ticket was not transferred from
the man whose name 1t contained, and even
if the ticket was transferred from the
original purchaser the company had no
right to eject plaintiff until he reached the
point of exchange, where the agent could
collect full fare, as provided by the contract
on the back OF the ticket. The defense con.
tended that the company never made &
contract with Peterson, as he never paid
the company any consideration, and, there.
fore, it was under no obligation to him az
merely a holder of the ticket. The cour'
took this view of the case, and an appea
was prayed by the plaintiff.

"A Talk With One of the Yellowstone
Owners.

A Talk with One of the Yellowstone
Owners.
II was the immense sand carbonate de-
posits that we're discovered in Fryer hill
/ that caused such an excitement and rush to
Leadville in early days. These deposits
reached from near the grass roots only TO q
short depth. In the case of the Little ChieI
they did not descend over 100 feet, while III
Castle they are known to reach a depth OF
400 feet, as in the Cumberland. The sew
enty-foot body of orc disclosed OF that
level in that mine at least forty-fve feet IN
sand c%arbonates. TIL Yellowstone, IN CAS-
| tie, on the 1o0-foot level, possesses the
finest showing at that depth OF any mine IN
that whole district. Ono of the bodies OF
ore in which the station is cut is not less
drift there is another body of
mineral forty feet wide on which a raise
has been made of thirty-five feet. 1t IS the
emit as soon as the smelter starts be
longing to this company, to continue tins
raise to the surface. A portion of these
great ore bodies is sand ~arbonates Inc
balance is hard oarbonates.
Mr.. Ike Hensley, who has had the man
agement of this great mine since Its dls-
covery by himself and his brothers, has
been i'll Helena the past few days, on his
WAY 70 WIS SOhse iot q oAio
of the Yellowstone he said: within the
last week we awe had some fine mineral
disclosures in the Yellowstone. While
making the raise from the 20O-foot level to
the 100, we encountered Il lode of sand car
| Donates, that will run about thirty ounces
in silver and about 20 per cent. in lead.
| When | left there on Saturday we had
croscut it for Il distance of thirty feet
and had not got through it. Or the 100
foot level 81 short distance from where We
commenced this raise. We have another
large body of the same character of ore.
We have prospeoted the ore lody on this
second level enough to know
that it forms a curve, as we nave cut in
both the north and west drifts. On this
level we nave at least 1900 tons of the Tin
est kind of ore in sight, which will keep our
forty ton smelter running about a year. On
the three hundred foot level We expect
shortly to reach the same ore body we have
on the second level. We intend at once to
sink a hundred additional feet, which will
give us a depth of 400 feet. AT once we will
place in position another tive-inch discharge
pump. We will begin working very soon
the California, Great Western and Amerl-
can mines. Oar smelter will start up o
the LIST of June. The town of Castle now
has a population of something over 1000.
/ really believe that our two smelters and
the amount of work that will be done there
this season is enough to give US a popula-
tion of about 5000. With a railroad there
is no telling what a large city we Will
shortly have"

Gould Beat the Record.

Jay Gould's phenomenal run from the
Missouri river to Chicago over the Chicago
& Northwestern, is is still the theme of con-
versation in railroad circles. Many splen-
did runs have been made on American
roads, but never before was the terrific
speed of 1U2 miles an hour attained with
steam as a motive power. In 1884 j. ID.
Laying, general manager of the West Shore,
then acknowledged to have the finest rail
way in the world, took a Rogers locomotive
on the most favorable part of the track
succeeded in making eighty-two miles an
hour. 1t is said that on the United rail
roads of New Jersey, part of the Pennsyl-
vania, a speed of ninety-two miles an hour
was once attained, and that about the same
time was made on the Central railroad of
New Jersey. For long distance running the
Gould special has earned the palm. Super
%intendent Miller, of the Galena division of
the Chicago u Northwestern, has submitted
a report Of tho wonderful run to the gem
eral managers Office. The time given on
this report was taken by watches on the
train.
It shows the total distance passed over to
have been 1852 miles. The entire time o Il
sumed in making this run. including dead
time Or time consumed in stoppages for one
thing or another, was 1926 minutes. The
dead time amounted to 251a minutes, so
GudG IL LII actually So1ASAlilCh Ill 4AIAIAlIlS
was 1861 minutes, or an average rate for
the distance of a mile in l, 89-74 minutes.
These figures how shat the Galena division
of the Northwestern is one of the best
pieces of roadbed in the country, as it
would have been impossible to maintain
such speed on any road that was not in
frst-class physical condition.
At any rate everybody agrees that the
fastest time on the run was made from La
Fox to Geneva. Some railroad officials saw
that lO2 miles an hour Or even seventy miles
en- hour is impossible on account of bach
pressure, while others admit that eighty to
ninety miles an hour can be made under
favorable circumstances. When Mr.. Laying
broke the record with aspeed of eighty-twc
miles an hour in 1884 many people sale
lisye it until a few years later when thai
record wes broken.
Some may think that this run was danger
Gus, but it was not. One hour before tin
train reached each section the track wa
carefully examined and every main lin
switch was put under guard. Crossings wer
guarded on both SIDES. In the car the fas
motion was not noticed. and the remarka
bly, fast time between Elmhurst and Genev
was not suspected as the train glided RAP
idly over the level road, which has fe'
curves or grades and is ballasted wit,
picked gravel, now the standard for road
beds on the leading railways of the worlt
rs it is more elastic and will stand a great
strain with less racking than crushed roc.
During the rapid ride Mr.. Gould frequent,
remarked the ease with which the speci
moved and complemented the NorthweBtel
management highly, George Gould eve
shaved himself while the world-beatil
record was being made.

Butte Lacks Enterprise.

Jas. A, Murray, talking to an Inter
Mountain reporter about the proposition
of the Boise City board of trade to bear
one-half of the expense of a survey for a
line Of railroad between Butte and Boise,
said:
II was greatly surprised when read that
D. L. Miller, the Boise City man. did not
make a success of his subscription for the
suvey between here and Boise. l would
have given $3.50 myself, but nobody came
near me. / am still further surprised that
no more interest was manifested in the
matter. The people do not seem to realize
the Importance of the project. / know
every foot of ground over which the road
would 90. 1t would pass through the
greatest undsyeloped gold country now in
the United States. 1t would make q new
avenue to the mining industry. 1t would
90 along Warm Spring creek across the
mountains in the Mineral Hill country;
thence along Salmon river and on Il level
plain to Boise. Once there, it would not be
twelve months until the line would be ex-
tended to San Francisco, as the route IS
almost level as a floor. If the people of
should show a better spirit of enterprise
than they illustrated In this matter. They
should subscribe Sc, 600 and let Boise do the
same"
las far as Fairhaven and the other boom
towns on the sound are concerned" SAID
Mr.. Murray, 'my experience with them is
that there is nothing there but wind and
water, and real estate men furnish the
wind. l thought l was smart. It'cost me
just $4,000. It's all in talrhaven, and l
never expect to get it out. After this Mon
tana will be good enough for me-"
Now let the BOISE board of trade author
ize Mr.. Miller to come and see the Helena
people about this scheme.

THE DAMAGES TOO GREAT

Power Against Ii. O. Len0ir-
Unites States Court

Judge Buck served notices very plainly
yesterday that excessive damages will not
be allowed in his department. OF the dis
trict court. The arguments in the damage
case of George Bell against the Helena
Street Railway company were completed
Yesterday morning, and the matter turned
over to the jury. They were out but a
short time, and returned with a unanimous
verdict in favor of Bell, and fixed the
damages at $500. The jury was dis
charged as soon as Foreman Joe Davis
handed in the verdict, and The other jury
m en- had announced that it was their find
ing. But that was not the end of the
matter. A few minutes later Judge Buck
issued an order to the effect that lit APP
pears to the court that the verdict finds for
the plaintiff an amount of damages which
ia excessive n not justified by
the evidence. 1t is ordered that unless the
plaintiff files in court within thlrty-slx
hours his consent in writing that a ludR-
ment of $500 and costs be entered III full
settlement and renting all III excess OF
that amount, the verdict will be set aside
and a new trial granted" The judge made
no remarks. Bell was injured i'll Novem-
Der, 1889, by a street car running into his
buggy.
The case of Sarah Gilmore against the
city of Helena was began before Judge
Buck and was still on trial when the court
adjourned. 1t is a suit for $4,000 damages
sustained by the plaintiff falling ON the
ice on Broadway near Warren street, in
front of the Denver block. Robert i.
Smith represents the city and s. A. Ballet
the plaintiff.
Power VS.. LenOir.
The sEit of r.. C.. Power against B. "a
Lenoir was begun before Judge Hunt in the
first department. of the district court yes
terday. Power sues Lenoir for $1,000, rent
of rooms in the Steamboat block, for six
months to November, 1880. Suit was
brought to collect the rent before the six
months were up, on the ground that Lenolr
was disposing of his property. Lenoir re-
sists payment on the ground that his lease
had not expired when the suit was brought:
