ANOTHER MINE
, Decision by the United
States Circuit Court
Of Appeals.
The North Star Property May
Follow It's Ledge Under
the rish-American.
Two Opinions Handed Down in a
Patented Refrigerator and Ven
tilator Car Case.

The United States Circuit Court OF APP
peaIs yes erday handed down four de-
cisions, as follows:
Carson City Gold and Silver Mining
Company VS.. North Star Mining Com
pany. Judgment of the lower court af-
tirmed with costs. The plaintiff owns the
Irish American mining claim in Nevada
County, Cal, and the defendant worked
its lode under the surface of the Irish
American claim.
The decision of the lower court, which
has been affirmed, was that the defendant
has right to pursue the North Star ledge
to any depth underneath The surface O.
the Irish American mine within vertical
planes drawn through the east line of the
Nor Star, and said line produced indefi-
nltely IN its own direction and similar
parallel plane, crossing said North Star
mine at point designated the western
terminus OF the apex of said ledge, W hic !.
point is distant 2200 feet north and 81 de.
Rrees and 10 minutes west. The proviso
was made that in no event shall the de-
fsndant be permitted to pursue the ledge
west OF a perpendicular plane extending
through the west line of the North Star
mine, and said line produced indefinitely
in its own direction.
A. Lehman vs.. the City OF San Diego
Judgment or the Circuit Court affirm ed
with costs. The principle OF law Is LAID
down that every person dealing in the
bonds is bound at his peril to inquire
whether they were issued in the mode
prescribed, and the mode IS the meas
ure OF he power the bonds would be voii
in the hands of the holder for value with
out actual notice II issued in any other
mode. We are, therefore, of the opinion
that the bonds in controversy would be
void in the hands of a bona-fide holder
and would not be valid charge against
the city. 1t necessarily follows that the
bonds issued TO Bowers were void for two
reasons: There was no power in the
charter OF San Diego or the Board OF
Trustees to issue them. The ordinances
OF the city, as ratified by the act of the
Legislature OF 1874, were not complied
with"

making the law applicable to the next crop
which follows its promulgation; or If this be
deemed not permissible, that their use shall
be permitted for the crop of 1897, provided
they are again exported. Inasmuch as these
sacks are used merely as containers we are
uncertain to their prob bition under the
law, but we respectfully suggest that the law
cannot be reasonably enforced until all sacks
sold and used before its PRONUNCIATION have
been delivered with contents.
From all that could be learned Eng
lands local representative set the ma
ehinery in motion to accomplish the re-
suits desired by the memb ers of the
Chamber of Commerce, and it looked as
though matters were prog essing favora-
bly, to that end. In the meantime, how
ever, Warden Hale and the Prison Di-
rectors became alarmed ana decided uron
the course indicated, that of removing the
blue line in The bags, in order that they
might escape the notice OF the English
customs authorities. This is what has
raised the muss, Tor the members of the
Chamber of Commerce fear that this very
action will have the effect of preventing
what they desired so much to accom- plish.
So far the Manufacturers and Pro-
ducers Association has kept ont OF the
tight on account OF a conflict of interests.
While DESTROYS of doing away with prison
labor where it comes in conflict with free
labor as much as possible, the manufac-
turers also realize the i'm portance eff the
grain export industry and they do not wish
TO interfere with this. In this matter the

OF the prison directors, but did not consider
IL proper to discuss the same at time when

discreet there would have been more fikeli-
hood of our grain shippers securing the de-
sired concession.

Trouble Brewing Over the
Matter of Convict

The Chamber of Commerce
Against the Prison Direct
ors' Action.
Leaving Out the Azure Stripe Will
Cause Embarrassment to
Grain Shippers.

The recent action of the Board of State
Prison Directors in allowing Warden Hale
to remove the blue stripe from the grain
bags made by the convicts is likely to
bring any amount of trouble to them.
remove from the bags the mark that dis
tinguishes the prison-made goods from
those made by free labor. This was on
account OF the recent action of the British
Parliament in passing law which pro-
hibits tie importation of conyict-mace
goods into that country, and it was feared
that the customs authorities of England
would draw the line on shipments of grain
in sacks made by the conyicis OF Cali
fornia.
As stated there may be trouble for the
directors of the prison. because the MEM
bers OF the Chamber of Commerce have
taken the matter in hand and, judging
from appearances, not In a way that is
calculated to The liking of the State Off

An Immense Audience Lis
tens to Him Talk
on Ghosts.
A Plea That the Truth Con-
corning Catholioity Be
Spread.
Those Who Will Strive to Learn
Need Have No Fear of 0gres
or Phantoms.

The first of a series of six lectures on
the subject of ghosts was delivered by
Rev. Father Yorke at Metropolitan Tenn
pie last night under the auspices of the
Catholic Truth Society. An immense
audience greeted 1.-The speaker. The stage
was tastefully decorated with flowers and
ported plants, while about the big audi
torium were fetching designs of bunting
After two vocal selections Father Yorke
stepped to the front of the stage TO receive
an ovation from the large crowd.
After a short introductory preface
Father Yorke explained the object of the
Catholic Truth Society. which was to
spread the truth concerning the Catholic
church.
I'VE Catholics believe we have the
TRUTH" said the speaker. 1--WE believe we
have those teachings which God deemed
best forthe instruction of man XII nd. We
believe we possess that truth which is
necessary for humanity, and which is
able 10 satisfy all the needs OF humanity.
Perhaps one of the most salient feat
ures of the organized effort 10 spread
Catholic truth, known as the Catholic
Truth Society, is that ii is an orgnniZa-
ton OF the laity. In Catholic theology
the task OF preaching the Gospel was laid
upon the apostles, and by the apostles
given 10 their successors. st. Paul sums
up the teaching of the church in the per-
tinent queries: How shall they cali on
him in whom they have not believed Z?
Or how shall they believe him of whom
they have not heard? And how shall
they hear without preacher? And how
shall they preach unless they be sent?i
Therefore the Bishops, as the successors

lou may see now, ladies and gentle
men, why l have entitled this lecture
Ghosts in General To those who do not
belong TO her communion the Catholic
church is like some haunted house. Dark
and bloody deeds WIRE done within its
walls. Strange cowled figures known as
inquisitors stretch the Protestant upon
the rack and then give his tortured linn BIS
TO the tenderer mercIes of The faggot and
the stake. Popes. Jesuits, monks. cardi-
nails, nuns, stalk through its rooms
sbrieks and groans are mingled with I'M
holy fevelry ana blssphemy against the
Most High. The pious Protestant: stops
his ears and flies from the accursed spot.
But when the sun rises all rhos. ghosts
HE them away. If the terrors of his mid
night experience will permit him be may
now examine the b use from garnet to
cellar. But unfortunately he will NOT.
He knows enough about the house, catch
him going there again.
In conclusion Father Yorke said
Catholic truth means only the truth
about Catholic. We care not from what
source il comes; truth is as welcome from
the Protestant as from the Catholic. Ali
we want is the truth and all we want Is
that our nom Catholic brethren should ex-
anime what we have to say. We do not
expect to make them ali Catholics by our
crusade. That WORK belongs solely to him
VINO holds In his hands the hearts of men
and sweetly disposes all things as he wills.
We have but one Object and that is to bring
men to see realities, not ghosts. Wewish
them to see with their eyes, and to hear
with their ears, and 10 handle with their
hands, ard 10 say II we are the traitors,
the sots, the scoundrels, the ignoram uses,
that the great Protestant tradition repre-
sents us 10 be.
I'VE ask them TO give the Catholic
church the American privilege OF fair
play and 10 hear the side of tho accused
before passing judgment. This is not an
unreasonable request and should not be
denied US. And IL shall not Falsehood

but its longest day must have an END. No
lie is eternal Sooner or later the truth
must prevail. To have some share in
securing the triumph If truth is the aim
of the Catholic Truth Society. The signs
of the times are clear that The triumph
cannot be long delayed. The church Is
free. She is not compelled to hide in
catacombs or garrets. She walks in the
midst of men, and though her. enemies
may cast dirt at her and slander her and
gnash their teeth at her they cannot de-
ceive men forever"

laws are ample to suppress all gam bling
in the city, but the laws have not been
followed out and that gambling In almost
every form is altogether too open now.
The only way the city can benefit, they
say, is by q thorough shake-up IN the
department and All entire new manage
ment of its affairs.
In opposition to this conservative eIe-
ment there is an entirely different class,
10 whom the Gunst-Lees row means a
general good time. Like the others, they
argue that Gunst victory means wide
open" town, and even if Lees manages to
continue in office things will not be so
bad. These people. it is needless 10 say,
are the ones who would like to see
gam bling games of every description con.
Quoted openly. or at least with no danger
of interference. They argue that gam
bling always puts plenty of money in cir
culation, and that a "liberaP town is
invariably the most prosperous.
A number of interviews are published
herewith, showing the interest manifested
In the matter. To each was pnt the ques.
ton: In your opinion should gam bling
in San Francisco be wide open2''
Captain Meyer. of Meyer, Wilson & Co.,
importers: There should be no gam bling
at all in San Francisco, and there are
enough laws on the statute books now to
stop IT if they were only enforced. Gam
bling can do city no good, while the evils
are many"
Byron Diggins. contractor: II do not
believe in a wide open city. 1t may not
be possible to entirely suppress gamblin e.
but it certainly should not be permitted
to spread to any greater extent than ex-
lists now
Rev. +. s. Ford: Every effort of the
police should be exerted to the total sup
preston of the evil. A city cannot pros
per where gambling is openly counte-
nanced."
Rev. G. E. Locke: ''Most certainly do
not believe in permitting gam bling. either
openly or under cover. Every form of the
evil should De suppressed"

ES he outbreak OF hostilities be.
tween Police Commissioner Gunst
and Chief of Polics Lees has
aroused the city as few local events
of recent years have. The people
believe it is of far greater significance than
a mere falling out of two Office holders I;
they, or large majority, are of the opin-
Ion that the social conditions are involved
to a much greater extent than is shown on
the surface. They can see behind this
unseemly squabble rival factions strug-
Cling for control of the Police Department
and that means the control of the city.
Should Gunst succeed in effecting the
removal of the Chief the question imme-
d.ateIy arises: WHO will succeed to the
Office ?" There can be the name of
but one man mentioned, 1t was Mr.
Gunst who advanced him from the rank
of sergeant to his present position over
the heads of many efficient officers with
longer terms OF service TO their credit and
who were untain.ed by scandal.
With Gunst's man at the head of
the department conservative people
candidly express the belief that the
town would soon be thrown "wide open"
to the gam bling element. They recall the
Commissioner past connection with the
prom otion of prize tights, mis- in Innate

ment.
On the other hand, these same people
