CATION OF the Panama canal, the Panama
Railroad and the Pacific Mail as proposed
by Fellows and Geary respectively. The

OF these two gentlemen. The inquiry will
be directed into affairs on the isthmus. and
whether the Panama Railroad has discrImi-
mated against United States interests there
without respect to the Monroe doctrine.

TRANSVERSE VEINS,
Important Decision in the Arizona SUI
preme Court.

PHGNIX. AriZ., Jan. 26.-An important
decision was handed down last night by the
Supreme Court in the case of the Watervale
Black Eagle mine, versus the owners OF the
Big Comet. The case originated two years
ago. The owners of the Big Comet fol-
lowed a vein which transyersely crossed
the vein Of the Black Eagle, and the latter
corporation began suit in ejectment.
The lower court decided in favor OF the
defendants, basing the finding on four de-
cisions OF the Supreme Court of Colorado
and one by Judge Hallett, United States
District Judge of that state. who construed
section 1856, Revised Statutes. to apply to
the crossing of veins on strike.
The case was appealed, the appellants re-
lying on the doctrine that the section de-
fines Instead that owners claims to mineral
beneath the surface must be confined to
the boundaries of the claim extended down
ward vertically, except in case Of a lode
whose apex runs parallel to the adjoining
claim aud drifts outside above the de-
scribed vertical boundaries. The appel
lants pointed to the fact that section 1922,
which applies to transverse veins. is dl-
rectly opposed to the theory of the Colorado
courts, and the Supreme Court took a smi-
lar view of the case and reversed the iudg-
ment of the lower court.
The decision is regarded among legal and
mining men as of the highest Importance,
overturning the construction OF mining law
which prevailed since 1879. the date of the
Colorado decisions.
