MINING WILL GO ON.
Result of an Important Suit in Amadol
County.

county.
A correspondent of the Record Union,
writing from Jackson, Amador County,
says: THE legal contest which has
been in progress at Jackson, Cal, for
the past two weeks in the caA of D. R..
Thomas VS.. John Graham was abruptly
terminated yesterday by the plaintiff
confessing judgment upon stipulations.
The case involved a large tract of valu-
able mineral land at Forest Home,
Amador County, for which Mr.. Thomas
secured a contract of sale in June, 1893.
At that time the property was valued
at $500 but since that date, on ac-
count of the development of the mines,
it has increased to three times that
amount. The sale contract was based
upon the exchange of the Forest Home
lands for property owned by Mr.
Thomas at San Francisco, Oakland and
Crockett. Mr.. Graham after an ex-
animation of these properties repudi-
ated the contract upon the grounds of
gross misrepresentation and upon this
issue the parties resorted to the courts
BY the stipulations under which
judgment was entered for defendant
cancelling the contract of sale each
party iquidated their own costs. The
case was conducted by Hon. J. @. Davis
Francisco representing the plaintiff
and MCGEE & Stewart and S. j. Hol-
singer for the defense
The result of the suit is important in
that it clears the title to the Forest
Home property. and a syndicate of Los
Angeles capitalists, already formed.
Will Immediately assume control of the
property and open up one OF the largest
hydraulic mines in the State Their

STREN CONVICTED
Justice Davis Holds That He Sold
IiouOP Illegally,


In the Police Court yesterday H. l..
Buckley, counsel for John Steen, who
was charged with selling liquor without
license at Fifteenth and Q streets,
raised the point that the city ordinance
under which the charge was laid was
invalid because it did not harmonize
with Section q of the Penal Code.
The particular local ordinance re-
ferred to provides that not less than
one quart of liquor (or beeD shall be
sold, and differs in this respect, as well
as in price, from the retail ordinance
under which ordinary saloons are con-
Quoted
The contention of Stems counsel was
that the City Trustees, while having
the right to enact ordinances, have no
power to attach penalties for the viola
ton thereof-that that power is lodged
only in the Legislature.
Justice Davis. however, said he would
assume the ordinance to be valid, and
as it was shown that Steen had violated
it he found him guilty.
