Editor ot the Miner:
 Your people will, no doubt, be inter ested in two gifted young girls, tArl zonans) who are entering upon, what promises to be, brilliant career. These talented young ladies made their sue cessful debut Tn literary and musical entertainment, last week, before large and appreciative audience in Cloverdale. The entire program ne-conslstlng of lecture, poems, essays, vocal and lnstru' mental music are all the original com position of these accomplished girls. Even the words of the pretty songs, as we'll as the music, being entirely con- posed by them.
 Mir. John Eiden, who lived many years in Arizona, IS the happy father of these rarely gifted young ladies. MT. Eden is familiar with all the grazing country in Mohave county, having been engaged in the stock business there many years, and camped in the Walla- pal and Sacramento valleys before the first house was built in kingman, or steel rails spanned the Canon Diablo.
 The Misses Elden will tour this state giving entertain ments in all the pr'ncl' pal towns, and it is very probable they will visit the land of their birth, sunny Arizona where one finds warm hearts, bright flowers, sunshine and silver. We are assured your appreciative people will give them cordial welcome They hope to realize sufficient funds to pay for their university course. Their friends everywhere are wishing them success in their laudable ambition. Beauty, mod esty, youth and grace, combined with culture and rare talent, makes charm ing personality that must win the hearts of all. WANDERER.

An Important Decision.

The Supreme Court has settled ques ton of interest to mining men, and one That has involved many disputes. The particulars of the case decided are thus described by the CaIsveras Prospect:
 "C. W. Pomeroy and A. E. Pomeroy are the owners of the Mt Timolus quartz mine. and in 1894 bonded the mine to the defendant, Henry II. Bell. Bell, in his operations on the mIne, placed there on hoisting works and mill, hut noth ing was said in his agreement as 10 The right 10 remove these Improvements io the event that he did not purchase the mine. In 1895 Bell abandoned the mine and commenced to tear down and remove the machinery and buildings, when he was stopped by an injunction sued out by Pomeroy On the trial in ibe Super. iur Court, Judge Go,tscbalk decided tha, as The agreement was silent as to any right to remove the improvements, they became a part of the land and belong ged 10 Pomeroy. The Supreme Court sffirms this judgment. The case virtually de cides that if a written agreement does not permit machinery and Improvements 10 be removed on the termination of the bond, they become the property of the owner of the land and cannot be taken awayv

At McClel- Ian siding on curve, the train left the track, piling the engines and twenty-five freight cars in an awful wreck. The boiler of one locomot- i've exploded and was followed by the explosion of an oil tank. The wreck caught fire and the bodies of one engineer and one fireman, who were under the Nwreckage, were wholly consumed The body of the other engineer was badly burned. The fireman of one engine escaped by jumping but is badly injured. Conductor and brakemen escaped with but slight injury. The wreck was one of the worst the road has ever had.
