5 HAMMOND 5 OREGON PACIFIC
Oregon Supreme Court Affirms the Va
iidity OF the Sale.

Salem, Or, July 22-The supreme court
today affirmed the decision Of the lower
court in the case Of the Farmers Loan
and Trust Company Of New York as
trustees against the Oregon Pacific Rail-
way Company. The Oregon Pacific rail-
road, 140 miles in length, together with all
the rolling stock, franchises, etc, was
sold at public auction to A. B. Hammond
Of Missoula, Mont, for 100000 to satisfy
the claims Of creditors, which amounted
to many times this sum, and the sale was
confirmed by the state circuit court An
appeal was taken and the supreme court
today affirmed the decision of the lower
court.
The road and its equipment represent
an outlay OF about $l1, ,0GV,uUV. The bonded
Indebtedness was about SI5,00O,000. The
objection TO the confirmation of the sale
urged by the Oregon Pacific was the III
adequacy Of the bid. The court said there
was no evidence Of the value Of the prop
efty submitted to the local court and
IN the absence of such evidence the sale
must be held valid, as the parties stood
on an equal footing.

Law Must BE Observed This Year or
Forfeiture Viii Result

Washington, July 22.-Nany miners in
the Pacific northwest are making inqui-
ries relative to assessment work Oh their
claims for the year 1895. The impression
seems TO generally prevail that the last
congress passed law suspendmg the as
'essment work on mining claims for the
year 1898. This is not the case The law
o winch the miners evidently refer and
y hich has in some cases misled them was
aSsed in July, 1894, during the long ses-
Ion OF The 53d congress, and was intended
simply to tide unfortunate miners over
he depression existing in that year. The
special act i'll question provided for the
suspension Of the law requiring 500 worth
Il work to be performed on improvements
made during each year. It specifically
stated that the suspension was for the
wear 1884. and no mention was made
whatever of the year 1895. Since it is re-
quired that such work shall be done bv
the lst of October of each year. and as
congress Will not be in session before that
lime it stands all miners III good stead
10 sec that their assessment Is promptly
done this year under the provisions of
the old law. If they expect to hold their
claims.

Defender Hustle.
New York. July 2l.-When the Vigilant
meets the Defender tomorrow she will
carry larger sail than that under which
she appeared yesterday. She will also
have a bigger balloon jib, and it Is safe
to presume that the sail area added by
the changes will assist not little in send
ing the yacht through the water faster
than she went yesterday. Yachtmen are
hoping that tomorroWs event will take
place in stiff breeze, If not a blow, for
nobody knows definitely what the Defen-
der can do in a heavy wind. Mr.. Willard,
who has charge Of the Vigilant. was will
ing to admit that his boat was outsailed
yesterday, but he still holds the opinion
that he can still give the new boat a close
race. All sailors who have hitherto been
insstent that a center board model was
superior to a keel, point to the fact that
never before was a center board beaten
by keel, and declare that there must

MINED GROUND OF THE COUNTY JAIL

Peculiar Case Now in tho Courts at
Idaho City.
Boise, July 20-A somewhat peculiar
case has been occupying the attention
of the district court at Idaho City for
several days. Over a year ago Joseph
Bralstetter and his partners were en-
joined by the county commissioners
from placer mining on ground that was
claimed to belong to the county iail
and their last cleanup, amounting to
nearly $1,000, was seized by the sheriff
and deposited in the bank subject to
further litigation as to it's ownership.
AfterWard a suit was instituted by the
county against Bra1sterter, in which
damages to the amount of $4,000 is
claimed to the county Jail property.
Ihe county introduced in evidence
a deed to the property given by A. K.
Knowles in 1864 and describing the
boundaries of a piece of land 200 feet
square. But owing to the chaotic con-
ditlon of all the landmarks in the Vi
cfnity of Idaho City on account Of the
successive operations Of placer mining.
none of these boundaries can at pres
ent be located and the only hint as to
where the county's 200 feet square was
originally situated was contained in the
testimony of ex-Commissioner Frank
Moore, who stated that the old jail
was built In the center of the lot. This
Jail served as the territorial prison at
one time. The ground is now mined
out on three sides of it.
