MECHANICS AND LABORERS' LIENS.
Important Decision of the Supreme
Court.
Those Working by the Day Are Not
Entitled to File a Lien
on Property.

The Supreme Court has rendered a
decision in the case of Keener, respond
ent, VS.. Eagle Lake Land and Irrigation
Company, a corporation, a Lassen
County case, which will be of great in
terest to mechanics and laborers.
The plaintiff, under employment by
the defendant, performed labor upon
reservoirs, dams and bitches of the COM
pany at different times between May
y, 1882, and June %, 1893, amounting
at the agreed rate to $S6S IS, of which
he was paid 1913 81, and brought action
to recover $4SS 93 and have that sum
adjudged a lien upon the property.
Judgment by default was rendered in
his favor and the defendant appealed.
The defendant does not contest the
amount for which judgment was given,
but contends that the judgment was
erroneous in declaring plaintiff entitled
to lien on the property
The court quotes the statute of 1891,
which declares that every corporation
doing business in this State shall pay
the mechanics and laborers employed
by it the wages earned by and due them
weekly or monthly, on such day in each
week or month as shall be selected by
such corporation, and provides that a
violation of the law shall entitle me-
chanics or laborers to a first lien on the
property of the corporation.
The court holds that the Act does not
apply to those who labor by the day
and that as it was shown that Keener
worked by the day, at varying daily
wages he is not entitled to a lien. The
decision OF the lower court is therefore
modified. The judgment against the
company is confirmed, but the
decision of the court making it lien
and allowing the plaintiff counsel's fees
is reversed

RIVER MINING.
New Boat at Work in the Sacramento
River.

New Boat at Work in the sacramento
River.
The Golden Sands Placer Mining
Company has sent fiat-boat up the
river to this city, and will begin in a
day or two to prospect for gold in the
slickens and sand on the sandbar be-
tween the mouth of the American River
and the Pioneer Mills.
George B. Tollman, who is largely in
terested in the scheme, says the COM
pany believes it can get from 81 to 81
of gold per ton from the sand and slick
ems lifted, and that if as much as 81 is
secured it will pay. The boat is fitted
with bucket-lines of dredgers that lift
the sand and carries it to an amalga-
mator, where all the fine gold and the
quicksilver are taken up. The as
sayer of the company says he has found
as high as a pound of quicksilver in a
ton of the slickens
The boat is large enough to accommo-
date seven men with living quarters,
and for all the necessary machinery for
the mining The company works upon
claims in the river that it has filed un-
der Federal laws. It does not antici-
pate any interference by anyone, as 1T
says it does no harm, puts no addi-
tional matter into the river and Gre
ates no new sandbars.
It's present work near this city is
looked upon as mere prospecting. When
the best location is found, it will locate
for some months of work. This COM
pany is distinct from another that sent
up a boat some months ago that is now
operating well up the American River,
and uses machinery of a wholly differ
ent character from that in the boat now
in front of this city

edge of a Burglary.
Fred. Ingham is again behind the
bars
1t will be remembered that he was
arrested with William Verheim, Joseph
Dolan and Harry Wagner for compile
ity in several burglaries and the dis
position of the booty within the last

preliminary examination, Wagner
turned States evidence, Ingham was
held to answer, but released on habeas
corpus, and Verheim on Wednesday
was found guilty in the Superior Court

The particular charge against Ingham

| a burglary had been committed and
concealing that fact from all the mag
trates in the city and county. The COM
plant was sworn to yesterday by Harry
A. Wagner, a f-confessed burglar.
who testified against his partners in
crime. The warrant was issued by
Justice of the Peace Henry and shortly
afterward Ingham was arrested by
Officers Ash and Fisher. The officers
took Ingham to the police station, where
he remained until 8 o'clock, when he
was taken to the County Jail by Con-
stable Spinks.
Officers Ifogl1e and Pennisbt ubo
succeeded in breaking up the Gold Dust
Saloon gang, and in convicting Verheim
and Forrest, say they will prosecute
Ingham for having received articles
of jewelry stolen from Miss Genevieve
Green and a portion of the money and
jewelry taken from trunk which
was stolen from a saloon on Front
street.

How many suicides think you reader, have
been committed by persons driven disiraught
and hunted to their doom by the demon of
chronic ill-heallh? Countless. For instance,
we know, do we not. that hypochondriasis is
a monomania-a sort OF minor madness pro-
duced by chronic dyspepsia? Again, insom-
MIA, or sleeplessness often result of the
same cause, eliminates in arrangement of
the reasoning faculties. 1t is, therefore, of
momeutus consequence to prevent the ar
rival of disease at its chronic phase when it

dangerously uncertain goal No medicine
