The Water suit Compounded.

The suit brought by Nichols 81 Par
sons against the Ely Mining and Mill
ing Company ct al, in the United
States District Court, 20 determine
their undisputed right to the use of the
waters of Murray Creek, evidence in
which was to be taken here this week.
before Commissioner Laurenson, has
been compromised. The plaintiffs
take judgment for all they claimed
the use of all the water of the creek
and give the Mill Company lease for
ten years to use the water power they
are now utilizing at the nominal rent
Of $50, or s. a year. To the other
parties defendant, besides the Mill
Company, agreements on similar
basis will be accepted by the plain
tiffs; that is, leases will be given them
at nominal yearly rent for the
amount Of water they have been using.
Thus, happily, ends what promised to
be tedious and vexatious litigation
Both parties TO the suit showed dis
position to be magnanimous-that
other litigants might we'll profit by
by conceding much that each believed
rightfully belonged to them. But
law is an expensive as we'll as an un-
certain commodity, and no doubt the
best thing that could be has been
done. The plaintiffs pay costs of suit
as far as incurred.

From the West

Mr.. Pat Kerwin, one of the best
known and most reliable mining ex-
perts on the Pacific Coast, arrived
from the West by Thursdays train
and passed on to White Pine yester-
day to examine mine on White
Pine Mountain. He comes out pro-
fessionally for Comstock mining men.
Mr.. Kerwin was for years steadily in
the employ of The late George Hearst,
Haggin. Chambe and that syndicate
of mining operators. He has travel
ed more miles and examined more
mines than any other expert in Amer
lea. He has visited about every min
ing district from Alaska to the Equa-
tor. He is at present Supt. OF the
Gould q Curry on the Comstock. He
will probably return from White
Pine in time to take Mondays train
for the West. We are glad the mines
OF the Great East are showing suffi-
GENTLY well to engage the attention
OF a man of the wide experience Of
Mr.. Kerwin.-Eureka Sentinel.

Deep Creek Mining Items.

From the Salt Lake Tribune of the
23d we clip the following items. The
parties mentioned therein in connec-
ton with mines are we'll known to
many Of our readers. John Tippett
was formerly well known in Cherry
Greek, having worked in the old Star
several years. The Henriod boys,
who are ranchers on Deep Creek, are
also well known in Eastern White
Pine
John Tippett, who has about forty
mining claims in the Deep Creek
country, chiefly in Eagle district on
Kern mountain, yesterday sold half
interest in them to A. ID. Young OF
this city. The deal was big one in
money paid and the work to be done
by the purchaser, but the figures are
withheld from the public. 1t means
large development of the claims and
easier times for Mr.. Tippett, who has
remained in the camp and worked
hard for the past eight years.
News comes from Deep Creek of a
fine strike OF ore in a claim owned
by the Henriod boys, on the east
end of Eagle district, where a fine
vein of two to six feet of good galena
ore was uncovered.
L. G.. Karrick has news of strikes
on his claims in Eagle district, Deep
Creek. In four places ore was un.
covered which was from eighteen to
twenty-four inches wide, going 46
ounces silver and 40 per cent lead,
and another strike is of three feet of
ore, running 20 per cent lead and
trace OF gold. Samples of these ores
were sent In and assayed here.

LOOKS BRIGHTER.
Signs of n General Revival OF the
Mining Industry In the Several Dis
tricts of White Pine County.


trIcts of White Pine County.
The long dark night of mining and
industrial depression, which has hung
over White Pine for the past three or
four years, appears to be breaking in
the dawn of brighter day for the
several mining camps in the county.
Here at home, several mines, besides
the Joanna and Chairman, are show
ing up fine prospects. The Montana
parties, who have the option of a bond
on the Joanna group, arrived here
Thursday evening. and the next few
days will probably put their plans
we'll on the way toward taking hold
of one of the most valuable mining
properties in Eastern Nevada. Such
a contamination will, of course, infuse
new life into all the industries of this
section, and do more 10 give our dis
trict a name abroad than all that
could be said or written about ii.
Over at Hamilton, the old district
is also claiming the attention of min
ing men of experience and capital,
and it is not improbable that by the
first of June some of the rich silver lead
mines around White Pine Mountain
will have passed into the hands of San
Francisco capitalists. Supt. William
Read will also resume operations on
the old Eberhardt tunnel. All this
means great revival of business for
White Pines first capital.
In another article it will be seen
that Davis 81 Sanford's mines in Sill
yer Canyon are also almost certain TO
change hands, which means better
times for miners, ranchers and bnsi-
men in the northern end of Spring
Valley.
Osceola, on the south, is also re-
ceivine attention from Eastern capt.
alists, the Gravel Mining Company,
with plenty of water this season, will
turn out many shining bars of gold,
and the dry-washers will add to the
general output aud prosperity of that
district.
At Cherry Creek, to the north of US.
A. NJ. Ellsworth has the mill near the
tunnel at the old Star mine completed
and will soon commence working the
dump. This may be the prelude TO
more extensive operations and better
times for our neighbors down the
valley.
While we do not look for any thur
rah boom" or wild speculation in any
of the mining camps in this county
the coming summer, we do look for
healthy reaction in mining, based
on true merit, in almost every camp
in the county. We feel it in the air
that it is to be so.

A Ten Days Bond.

George W. Crow, of Denver, was
over to Aurum last week and got a
ten days option for bond on Davis
& Sanford's mines at that place. The
terms of the bond, we are inform
ed, are to be, $4,000 for the property,
$4,000 within ten days and the bal
ance in twelve months. Mr.. Crow
passed through Cherry Creek the fore
part of this week on his return to
Denver to make the final arrange
ments, and though the time is short,
he expects to be back in Aurum
within the prescribed limit. The
mines he proposes purchasing are said
to be looking fine.

A Federal Officer Who Shot Himself Be-

A group of old soldiers gathered in the

Der gave the following graphic account of
the suicide of Federal officer on the field at
Gettysburg: at was there" said he, 81 saw
a Federal officer, chagrined because nothing
would stay the retreat of his men, raise his
pistol to his head and blow out his brains.
1t happened on the second days fight. Gen
eral Longstreet had just come up with part of

halted and formed his men in line to receive
Longstreet's onslaught 1t was one of the

terrible volley at close range. They stag

street ordered US TO give them the bayonets.
As the men wavered and broke to run, an
officer stepped to the front, and, with his
sword, signaled them to come back. Again

time they were in full run, and the officer. in
his angry modification, raised his pistol to

A PRAISEWORTHY ACT.

The world owes credit to Lady Burton,
the widow of Burton, the African explorer
and Arabic scholar, who wound up rather
eccentric career by making translations of
Arabic literature, the most salient charac-
teristics of which We're their startlingly in
decent character. The last work of this
sort which Burton did was the translation
of the Arabic "Rose Garden" which he
left her as a source of income, and for
which "a publisher offered her e6, 900. After
reading the translation over, she put it
into the fire, declaring that she would not
be party to its publication fora thousand
times six thousand pounds.
This is an honest and effective protest
against the degradation of what was until
recently pure literature with more or
less gilded salaciousness. 1t is clear that
her honest womanhoOd could not be de-
ceived by the shallow plea that the curse
of indecent literature is lessened by put
ting in costly bindings and circulating it
only among the wealthy fanciers of such
filth She had no hesitation in rejecting
material increase of her fortune rather
than consent to such. a degradation of the
name of literature. For that practical
and earnest stand in favor of literary
purity every honest man and woman who
reads English literature will be grateful

TERMS OF THE DISPATCH.
PITTsBURG, JNDAY, JUNE q, 1891
BLAINE AND HARRIsoN.

A very interesting view of the prospects
for the Republican nomination appears in
THE DIsPATCH's special correspondence.
1t is important as coming from sources
that are as authoritative as any statements
on such subject can be, and is significant
as presenting what can be accepted as the
.n0d2tS UiUepdi established to subsist until
the action of the convention or the prepar-
ationS for it, make choice between the
President and Secretary Of State, as the
leader in the next national campaign.
The view commends itself to public ac-
ceptance among the Republican masses,
by recognizing Mr.. Blaine as beyond all
comparison the man who can infuse en-
thusiasm and spirit into the Republican
organization Further than that, it alleges
a perfect understanding between Mr..
Blaine and General Harrison. BY this agree
ment Mr. Blaine refuses his sanction to all
efforts in his behalf, and simply holds him
self in quieScence until the Presidents
chances are decided. The President on his
side is by no means certain of his pros
poets, but claims the right to retain the
hope of the future: and, if events shall
make Blaine the candidate, he will heart
lily throw in his support. According to
this understanding Mr.. Blaine has placed
his veto on efforts to push him into espe-
oial prominence, which puts that Indian
apOlis conference, so far as Blaine is con-
cerned, in the light of gathering of poll
ticians who are principally anxious to put
themselves in evidence as President
makers and to enjoy the uSufruet Of that
function.
The harmony thus pictured looks very
pleasant, and it is not wholly without
foundation so far as the present situation
is concerned. Indeed, it has been Mr..
Blaine's attitude all along. Without
aScribing to the Secretary of State the alb
ject attributes of loyalty which have
been imposed on him by the family
organs of the President, THE DISPATCH
has always recognized that his course was
to attend to his diplomatic duties, and to
let the logic of events nominate him. But
TO be complete the picture should have
dendant showing the President dealing out
stern discipline to those lights of journal
ism, MeSsrs. Arkell and Harrison. Nor
does the alleged friendship for the Secre-
tary of State held by the Chief Magistrate
entirely consort with the promptness with
which after our own Matthew Stanley
Quay casually remarks that ''Blaine has a
great deal of strength in Pennsylvania"
lie gets exactly what he wants in the line
of cOllectorships.
Nevertheless the outline of the result is
,l,42 ~ 10,
health permitS-and his present course in
recuperating his energies affords the best
promise in that directiOn-he will be the
next Republican nominee for President,
and he will be, beyond comparison, the
strongest candidate the Republicans can
select.

TIE SUNDAY SLAUGHTER

The last addition TO the slaughter list at
McKeesport is rather unique in its line.
It does not quite come into the category of
picnic murders both because the murder
part of it failed, while the trouble begin
ming at a picnic ended some hours
after in the suicide and attempt atmurder.
The case is that of an impetuous soul who,
because the object of his affections would
not dance with him at the picnic and re-
fused to elOpe with him the day after,
tried to kill her and then killed himself.
This excessive manifestation of the tender
passion exhibits one variation from the
usual rule in parallel instances. In most
cases the murder is successful and the sui
eide is a failure,

MORE INTERSTATE IGNORANCE.

4 new outbreak of misinformation,
either ignorant or intentional, concerning
the interstate commerce law and commits
sion is perpetrated by the Philadelphia
Telegraph. That journal starts ont with
an assertion that ''to do away with the
evils of too sharp competition" among
other things, ''the commission was vested
with extraordinary powers and authorized
to interfere with the performance of con-
tracts in manner that might easily be-
come intOlerable." This is sufficient to
show that our esteemed cOtemporary
adopts the German method of evolving the
purposes and provisions of the interstate
commerce law from its inner conscious
ness. There is not a line in the law indi-
eating a purpose to do away with the
evils of too sharp competition; the
commission is only vested with some of the
regulative powers declared by the United
States Supreme Court in the case of the
Wabash road against the State of Illinois,
to belong to the United States Govern
ment; and it is not authorized TO interfere
in the performance of legal contracts, but
10 prevent those which under statute and
common law, and by the very nature of
railway charters, are illegal and void.
Having made that false start it is nat
ural that our Philadelphia contemporary
should instance the Lehigh Valley case as
an illustration of the futility of the COM
mission, when it is more positively an
illustration of the corporate notification
Of law, and then proceed to blame that
body, because there are signs of a rate war
IN the West, and the commission is not
in advance forbidding the railroads
10 reduce their rates. This intimation, that
when the railroads refuse to obey the legal
mandates of the commission designed to
protect the public, that body should pro-
ceed to issue orders for which it has not
the slightest color. of authority, is argued
so earnestly that we must credit it to the
good faith of ignorance. Thereis not from
first to last in the interstate commerce
law any authority to prevent the railroads
