Senator John SeatOn of Leavenworth
is in the city on business connected with
the state board of public works Of
which he is president. When asked if
he had begun his campaign for the nom
ina.tion for governor on the Republican
ticket in 1898, he said
well it is Is months yet before we
begin another gubernatoria1 campaign,
and it is a little early to begin an active
campaign as a great many things are
liable to happen in that time I am a
candidate for the nomination, as I an
nounced some time ago. I shall lose no

OPENING AN OLO MINE.
Local Capital Interested in a New
Quartz Mill at Moores
Flat.
Nevads City Trying TO Effect Com
promise and Control It's
Water Works.

Judge ]. NJ. WalIing of Nevada City
arrived here Friday. and had Judgment
entered against the private water company
that has been supplying his town with
water for twenty years.
The town decided some time ago to con-
troll its own water supply, and accordingly
voted $50, 900 in bonds. The water COM
pany, the sole proprietor OF which is a
Mrs. Huntington of New York City,
brought suit against the town TO enioin it
from selling the bonds. That Injunction
has been defeated. Judge Walling, who
is attorney for Nevada City, is now max
ing advances looking to a compromise
with the water company, the idea being TO
determine upon a price for the old water
works that shall be agreeable to both par
ties. The water company values its plant
at SIS, 600. AS soon as the litigation is
ended the sale of bonds will commence.
An old mine taken in hand this month
by San Francisco capital is now being
prepared for active operations. 1t is the
old Metropolitan quartz mine at Moores
Flat, twenty miles from Nevada City. P.
l. Fisher, Professor Davidson and Marcus
l.. Davis, all of this City, are the pro-
moters of the new enterprise. They have
twenty men at work now, but a good
many more will be employed as soon as
the machinery shall have'arrived. One OF
the new Merrill quartzmills, the first OF
its kind in that country, is to be set up.
The mine has 1000 feet of tunnels in il
already, and it is estimated that there are
%, 900 tons of rock in sight. 1t is gener-
ally low-grade ore, running about $5 to
the ton, though little of it promises as

A CASE OF WATER.
The Supreme Court Reverses the De-
cision in Much-yexed San
Diego Case.

T. ]. Higgins and w. Llewellyn, plain
tiffs and respondents, against the city of
San Diego, gilbert Rennie as Auditor and
Nat Kennedy as Treasurer of said city of
San Diego, the San Diego Water Com
pany, the San Diego Flume Company,
Bryant Howard, Charles S. Hamilton, A.
e. Horton and M. I. Gilmore defendants,
the San Diego Water Company appellant
Such is the title of an appealed case in
which the Supreme Court handed down a
decision yesterday, reversing the iudg-
ment of the lower tribunal. The appeal
represents another phase of the varied
litigation which has grown out OF the con-
tract between the San Diego Flume Com
pany and the San Diego Water Company.
The iume company has been bringing the
water 10 the city limits, where the water
company has been distributing it through
its pipes, being sole agent OF the fume
company.
On the first OF June, 1891, the water COM
pany turned it's plant over to the city of
San Diego under contract which was in
form lease from the water company to
Bryant Howard and four Others and a
suitcase by them TO the city. Howard
and the others were expressly exem pt
from liability of any nature and the lease
to them was to be void unless the suitcase
to the city were made. The lease, sub
lease and contract with the city were
therefore practically one transaction. In
September, 1892, the plaintiffs. Higgins
and Lleweilyn, taxpayers OF San Diego,
commenced an action for the annulment
of the lease and sub-iease and for an in
junction against tue Treasurer and Audi
tor of San Diego prohibiting them from
allowing and paying any claims arising
out of the transaction. After the hearing
of much evidence pro and contra, the
Superior Court decided that the contract
was invalid, citing section IS, article XI
of the constitution and section IL, article
ii, chapter II, of the charter of San Diego.
AS matter of fact, the terms of the
suitcase whereby the city was to pay q
monthly rental for the water works of
S9I66 So were drawn up for the purpose OF
using the amount thus secured in tie con-
struction of railway. The Superior
Court held the contract void because the
city was led into subsidizing railway un-
der the gu,se of paying rent, and because
the Mayor had not sufficient authority to
execute the contract on the part of the
city.
The Supreme Court sustained the view
that the express contract TO pay $9166 IS q
month was invalid for the reasons stated
but there was no reason why the city
should not pay reasonable rental for the
water works. Hence, the judgment was
reversed and the cause remanded to the
| Superior Court with instructions 10 enter
| Judgment in favor of the water company
| for the value to the city of the use of the
company's plant during the time it was
actually retained by the city. The decision
| is signed by Chief Justice Beatty and con.

CHINATowN's FRIGHT.
Report That Fresno Hatchetmen Are
on Their Way to This City With
out Foundation.

Many wild and alarming stories were
circulated in Chinatown day before yes
terday regarding purported Shipment OF
a powerful gang of highbinders from
Fresno bound for this City with the object
in view of exterminating the Lee Yup
Society.
Lee Zip Dock was mentioned as being
the leader of the Fresno hatchetmen and
also being the president of the Bo Leong
Tong, the most notorious and powerful
highbinder organization in the State. He
was also accredited with being responsible
for the death of Lee Ii, who vas murdered
in Waverly place a few days ago. These
statements have proven to be without
foundation.
Lee Me Ii and Joe Gar, the two Chimes
merchants who first placed the blame of
Lee Ti's murder at the door of Lee Zip
Dock, and incidentally the Kong Chow
Association, are both mem bers of the Bo
Der of that organization, and consequently
would have but little influence with its
mem bers.
Sergeant Cook and squad came across a
room in Clinton street Wednesday even
ing which had evidently been occupied by
highbinders. He found a few blankets
and two murderous-looking revolyers,
which were Immediately appropriated and
sent 10 police headquarters.
The police, although keeping a watch
full eye on the high ghbinders. do not antici-
pate further trouble, and in all probability
the murder of Lee I'll is the last that will
startle Chinatown for several months to
come.
The San Francisco call., 1896-07-26

awarded to G. E. Crowley of San Fran
cisco, whose bid was close to $1,000.
The plans prepared by Colonel William
c. Aibereer, C.E., are for a rock-6lled
dam forty feet high in the center and 260
feet long on the horizontal top measure
ment. Tne dam will hold about 5000, 600
gallons.
1t will be situated in canyon on the
hills above the home and about half q
mile distant from the buildings. The ele-
vation affords considerable fall, which
will give great pressure to the water and
thus assure very efficient protection
against fire.
The water supply, it has been estimated,
will be ample to irrigate the grounds,
furnish water for all purposes 10 the insti-
tuition and maintain an abundant reserve
for use in case of fire. According to the
terms of the contract the dam must be
Duilt ninety days after the contract is
signed.
