A. Kuhn & Bro. VS.. S. F. Mount, ap-
peliant; opinion delivered by Justice
Bartch and concurred in by Chief JUS
tice ZANE and Justice Miner; Judgment
of the lower court affirmed.
The action was commenced on De-
cember 16, 1892, in a United States
commissioners court at ogden, to
recover 1929 on a promissory note, dated
July u, 1883, payable at the banking
house of Hardness e. Co., Ogden. The
summons was served on the defendant
at Richfield. Sewer county.
The answer denied the Indebtedness
and alleged that the commissioner S
court had no jurisdiction of the person
of the defendant or of the subject
matter of the action, and pleaded in
bar the statute of limitation. Judg-
ment was rendered by the commission
er for the amount claimed and costs.
1t was then appealed to the district
court, where the jury found a. verdict
again for the plaintiff for the amount
claimed and interest, under instruc-
tions of the court, from which appeal
to the supreme court was taken.
Their honors held that the commits
sioner had jurisdiction and that it ap-
peared from the record that the defen-
dant had waived this point and could
not again raise it. The point as to
the statute of limitation was, their
honors held, nulliied by the defendant
in 1889 giving promises to pay in writ
ing at various times, thus forming a
new contract

Lincoln No. 2 mining claims, compris-
ing siXty-three acres Of ground, which
Is practically surrounded on three sides
by De Lamar's Golden Gate holdings,
and which also adjoin the Cannon Gold
Mining company's group of claims,
which was recently sold for 100000
The ground owned by the Golden Gate
Extension Gold Mining company is
squarely on the great Mercur ore zone
and on the strike of the Golden Gate
vein, and it might be said that 1T has
been practically developed by the work
ings in the Golden Gate nline as the
drifts in this property have besn driven
to the side line of the Extension group,
where the richest ore bodies have been
discovered.
The new company viii develop dts
property by means of a double COM
partment shaft, and to facilitate this
work 1T will put in one OF the finest
HOSTS to be found in the district, and
1t IS believed that in sinking for the
ore bodies that undoubtedly exist be-
low, 1t will not be necessary to sink
more than fifty feet deeper than was
required in the upper Golden Gate
shaft when it struck ore.
Without question this group of
claims is one of the most valuable to
be found in the vicinity of Mercur' S
producing and paying mines. 1t is one
OF the mast promising undeveloped
properties to be found in the district
and when such men as George H.
Robinson, general supervisor of De
Lamar's Mercur mines; George Kisling-
bury, superintendent of the Golden
Gate bonanza, and such we'll known
business men as the Walker boys. C.
Fl. Griffin and r. H. Carr engage in
an enterprise of this character, we may
all put it down as sure winner.
The company has reserved $4,000
shares of its capitalization as treasury
stock, but this has not been placed
on the market, and may not be, as the
gentlemen who figure in it's organiza-
ton are in for a big mine, and not for
stock speculation.
We are<glad to note the above facts,
for every strong company that organ
ICES to operate in Mercur will add great
ly in its development. and in time to
come, from all Indications, this camp
will grow into the greatest gold pro-

PEARL GROUP SOLD.
Messrs. Gilbert and Edwards Take
Half Interest for $500.

A deal was closed up last night by
which NJ. P. Gilbert of Chicago, and R,
II. Edwards of st. Paul, Mimi. pur-
chased from w. E. Ward and. others a
half interest in the Little Pearl group
of eleven mining claims at Mercur for a
consideration of $500 in cash. The Little
Pearl adjoins the Gold King on the west
and lays between the Mercur mill and
the Radatz bonanza. There has not been
very much work done on the Little Pearl.
but owing to the recent extraordinary
good showing made in the Gold King
adjoining, there is no doubt the Little
Pearl will turn out to be a very valu-
able property Messrs. Gilbert and Ed
wards are both capitalists, men of large
means, and the fact of their becoming IN
terested in Mercur will have a decidedly
beneficial effect beyond the actual work
they will do on the property they have
just acquired. They intend, however, to
begin development work at an early date
and will spend $25 900 in that way during
the next few months.
Both gentlemen are well satlsned with
their purchase and leave for their homes
on Saturday to make their arrangements
for commencing active operations al once.
The deal was put through by j. W
Ham and H. ]. Dieter, the latter the
secretary of the Gold King company
who interested Messrs Gilbert and Ed

intention of investing in Cripple Creek

abounds in large deposits of gold bear

To those who are looking towards

The state supreme court yesterday
handed down three opinions in cases
which were argued and submitted a
few weeks ago.
In that of William Crookston against
the Centennial-E Eureka Mining COM
pany, appellant, the opinion, which was
delivered by Justice Miner and con-
Cured in by Chief Justice Zane and
Justice Bartch, reversed the lower
court and granted the defendant a
change in the place of trial as re-
quested.
The action was brought in the First
district court at Provo to recover dam
ages for personal injuries alleged to
have been sustained by the plaintiff
while working III the defendants mine
at Eureka, Eureka being then within
the limits of the First district court
The defendant corporation had its
principal office and place of business in
Salt Lake city, in the third judicial
district, while the greater portion of
its property was at Eureka and there
most Of the work is carried on.
The defendant company demanded
that the place of trial be changed from
Provo to Salt Lake, setting forth the
above facts and relying for a decision
in their favor on the fact that their
head office was in Salt Lake city. The
court below oVerruled the defendants
motion for a change of venire, which
ruling the supreme court now reverSes.

THE BULLS AND BEARS.
Trading Light on the Floor of the
Stock and Mining Exchange

There was a good attendance at the
call of the stock and mining exchange
yesterday, but the brokers had that
sleepy look so characteristic of men who
really did not care whether they trans
acted amy business or not, and subse-
quent events proved that as far as sales
were concerned, they might just as we'll
have been sound asleep.
As general thing, the listed stocks
held their own fairly we'll
DAILY and Daily West were especially
active in the bidding, but holders would
not bulge an inch, and stood out for
fancy figures.
The first transaction took place when
Dalton and Lark was called, and 200
shares changed hands readily at so
cents.
East Golden Gate was in good demand,
and 500 shares found buyers at so cents;
and after call call on 500 shares was
bought at 60 cents, buyers 80 days, on a
ten cent margin.
Geyser was inactive at s. cents bid
and S1.00 asked, but after call S25 was Of
fered for a put on 500 shares at IS cents.
Mercur was the most active of the
listed stocks as far as the value of the
sales was concerned. Still, the stock has
suffered a bear movement during the past
two weeks. and the sales of yesterday
at S7.20 and S7.25 are a shade under what
this stock should sell for.
Mammoth was in good demand at SID,
but the only offering was at 500. On
tario just about held its own, and the
same can be said of Silver King, while
Sunshine exhibited an upward tendency
and sold at $40.
Utah was strong, but inactive at S1.50
bid: $500 asked.
OF the unlisted stocks, Galena, the
running mate of the Utah mine, in Fish
Springs district, made good showing.
1t was wanted at $3.50, but no stock was
offered.
Eagle was high-iyer and made a de-
C.ided advance This stock sold at 10 cents
last week. but yesterday it was wanted
at 10 cents in board lots; offered at 30;
while a bid of 20 was made for 5000
shares.
The bears made an attack on Omaha
and the stock fell to 271z cents in the Of
ferings, with no sellers in the pit.
There was a lively demand for Little
Pittsburg at 21s cents, but holders stood
firm for better figures and at the close
1900 shares changed hands at "a.
Dalton made a good showing, but no
sales were recorded At the opening it
was wanted at cents, offered at 8; but
at the close buyer and seller were but
a fraction apart.
The Morgans were quiet at about the
usuzl quotations.
Gas was slumpy, probably because of
the recent assessment levied upon Its
capital stock, and was quoted at prices
considerably below its usual selling price.
The Cannon Gold Mining company S
stock was called for the first time, and
proved to be a gilt-edged proposition. II
was wanted at $50. and offered at S45. No
sales.

evening to hear committee appointed
by a mass meeting at Gfantsville con-
sisting of Messrs. RydAlch, Weathal

was a business proposition with the

come from. The Grantfville commii-
tee advanced the argunIe nt that they
are the farming district of Tooele
county and their crops would amount
to more in freight thin the Tooele
merchants trade will. 4The directors,
after hearing the GRAM delega-

ment, leaving it in 'ths hands of the

Lowe VS.. Salt Lake CITY.


William Lowe VS.. Salt Lake city, ap-
pellant, opinion delivered by Justice
Bartch and concurred in by Chief Jus
tice Zane affirming the judgment of
the lower court.
The action was brought to recover
damages, the plaintiff alleging that
while the territorial legislature, of
which he was a member, was in ses-
sion in the old city hall on East First
SoEIth street, the defendant negligsnGy
and carlesSly, after dark, permitted
certain hatchway leading from the
ground floor Of the building to the Gel
lar to remain open, unguarded and
without any warning light, in conse-
quence of which plaintiff, on the even
ing of March 10, 1890, while in the
building for a lawful purpose to attend
a session of the Legislature, fell down
the hatchway and sustained very seri-
Gus injuries.
The jury in the court below found a
verdict for the plaintiff for $500.
The defendant appealed, on the
ground of errors at the trial and urged
that the plaintiff had no right in the
particular part of the building where
the hatchway was, and was a tres
passer.
The opinion handed down held that
he was not 2 trespasser and that if
he had been technically a trespasser,
and the trespass was such as might
reasonably be supposed the defendant
would not object to, it would not de-
feat the action. Their honors found
no error at the trial, and on these
grounds sustained the court below

Mercur, with it's great producing

with the large number of strange COM
panies that have cast their anchors
to the windwerd in this now world re-

Within the past few months there has
been a race among capitalists for
choice tracts of ground within the
charmed circle of the Mercur and
Golden Gate mines, with the result
that several able companies have been
formed for the manipulation of num-
Der of valuable properties in the 10

none are stronger, financially, and in
the personnel of its management, than

the development of four claims ad-
joining the Golden Gate mine and the
