1t IS repor ed that a movement is on
foot to introduce a bill in the next
house Of Congress for the suspension
Of the annual assessment law, such as
existed during 1S93-94. This bill is
being urged by a lot of claim owners
who are too INDECENT t 0 develop their
properties, and it is certain TO meet
with a strong rebuke from the mining
fraternity. During 1894 the min
eral industry receiv d a set back that
will take several years to recover
from. If a claim is not worth doino
the annual assessment work on it is
not worth anything, and the sooner
the owner finds it out the better it is
for him.

The suit Of Theodore Fox agains;
the Consolidated California and Vir-
glnla Mining Company, the Com
stock Mill and Mining Company,
John W. Mackay, John P. Jones and
others was decided by Judge Sewell
adver to the plaintiff.
The contention OF plaintiff was that
John ". Mackay and John P. Jones
controlled the affairs of the milling
company and so manipulated the
affairs Of b III corporations as to de-
fraud the stockholders of the mining
company. The plaintiff charges that
the defendants had a contract to mill
the ore at an e~xorbitant figure and
tia he contract made it possible to
retain the tailings, from which it is
alleged a handsome profit has been
derived.
judge Seawell delivered an elab0r-
ate opinion, in which he overthrow
all the contentious of the plaintiff.
He found that the evidence did not
support the allegations that Flood
and Mackay had at any time control
led the affairs of The mining company
or that they had dictated the election
OF directors. He found that thev had
V owned more than $3.50 sharos
OF the stock, of which there were 216-
600 shares. The defendants mining
company was the outgrowth Of Two
corporations which were OyGet and
controlled by the firm Of Flood & O.
Brier, Of which Mackay was a mem
t'r. Judge SeaWcIl found that when
Senator jones applied to the mining
company fer The milling contracts
there was an understanding with
Flood ana Macl,ay that the profits
and losses saouId he shared equally.
There was nothing unlawful in such
an agreement md no unfair advan-
tage taken OF the stockholders. The
court fnNnd chat 20 per cent of the
pulp assay was a fair return Of bull
lion.
The court found also that it was
customary for mining companies TO
keep the taiiings of the ore after mil
ling, and that there was absolutely no
evidence OF fraud or that the milling
had been unskillfully performed. and
there Was no reason why the milling
company should account for the tail
ings The count found nothing in
case upon which to base the Inference
that tAere had been either coIlusfon
or fraud on the part Of the defon-
Jones and Mackav were
merely stockholders in the miIlino
company, and the evidence showed
that they had taken no personal inter
est in the management.
The evidence, said the Judge. shows
that they were out of the State Of Me-
the greater part Of the time. and
there was nothing % show dishonest
conduct on the part of their employees.
The Court also held that even if
there had been ANYTHING in the case
plaintiffs had slept upon their
so that they could not now ex-
pect relief at the hands Of the Courts.
