CLUNIE GETS
 4 SETBACK Judge Morrow Enjoins the Commissioner. HIS DISCRETION INDlSCREET NOT LAWFUL TO DECLARE THE
 BONDS INVALID. His Threat Was Made Without the Limits of His Authority and Must Not Be Carried
 Out.

Insurance Commissioner Clunie was yes terday restrained from carrying out his threat to declare invalid the bonds of the foreign insurance companies operating in this State and from forfeiting their cer- tificates.
 The decision was rendered by United States Circuit Judge Morrow In the cases of sixty-two companies against the Com missioner. After giving history of the case with the progress of litigation on both sides the opinion concludes:
 ''The duty of the Commissioner is part ly ministerial and partly discretionary. With respect to the performance of those duties in which he exercises his discre- ton in good faith the courts will not re- view his Judgment or restrain his action, must be a legal discretion and within the limitations of his authority.
 He cannot act arbitrarily or capri ciously or in disregard of all the rules of law, and when he is called upon by a court to answer a charge that his con duct is illegal, oppressive and injurious he should be able to present such facts as will clearly show that he is acting un- der authority and within the Jurisdiction of his office It is true the defendant al- leges in his affidavit that in rejecting the bonds offered and rendered by the complainants and in holding them
 
 so after an examination and in- vestigation into the matter in the exercise of the discretion conferred upon him by law, but from the other facts al- legged by the complainants and not denied by the defendant this allegation appears to be in the nature of an opinion which the defendant himself formed as to the character of his own acts in the prem ises.
 'That there have been evils in the ad- ministration of the insurance law may be admitted; that the defendant believes it to be his duty to make the office of Com missioner efficient and of substantial ben. eft to the public may be also conceded, but it does not follow that he may adopt any course or pursue any method that will accomplish the purpose that he has in view. The law furnishes the guide and regulates the performance of official con- duct and will be construed as conferring those powers only which are expressed, imposed or necessarily employed. (Me- chem on Public Officers, section 51.) A temporary injunction will issue in ac- cordance with this opinion"

 ROBBED BY A SOLDIER.
A Miner From Montana Sought
 Friends and Fell in With Thief.

A Montana miner visiting the city for pleasure sought the friendship of a sol dier from his own State Sunday even- ing. and after spending considerable money on the boy in blue. was rewarded for his kindness by having his purse, con- taining S60 snatched from him by his supposed friend.
 John Evans, who has been prospecting in Montana, met Private Burke, of the Montana volunteers band, on the Bar bary Coast, and took him out to see the town. Burke informed his new found friend that he had just been released from the ~,uard house for having been ab- sent from camp for a week, and offered to show Evans the woman who had been the cause of his staying away from his duties. The two went to a dance hall on Kearny street, and Evans was duly in- troduced to the woman. and the party proceeded to have a good time at Evans expense.
 When all were trihe the worse for liquor Evans went to a small room in the hall where he was followed by Burke, who snatched a buckskin purse from him and ran out of the place. Evans notified Burke's officers of the robbery and they are on the lookout for the sol dier. The robbed man also informed tn- police and will swear out a warrant for Burkes arrest this morning.

DEsPoNDENT YOUNG MAN.
A Smith Tried to End His Life in the
 Bay.

OAKLAND. June N.-A young man who says that his name Is Smith jumped from the o'clock ferry-boat from San Francisco tonight, but was rescued. He is now at the City Prison.
 Smith tells a rather romantic story. He says that four years ago he came out here from Boston with money to burn. He has burned 1t all and had stayed at the Grand Hotel. Some weeks ago he was sick and impoverished, and was sent to the San Francisco County. Hospital. He there learned that he had consumption and he decided that he might as well dle now as later. He had been drinking heavily. and tonight, when the boat was about half way across the bay. he took off his overcoat and hat and threw them overheard, jumping after them. He was was rescued by the ferry-boat's crew and turned over to the police on this side. He declares he will do the same thing again as soon as he is set at liberty

PECULIAR ACTS
 OF JUDGE LOW
CASE OF ATTORNEY MAHoNEY
 NOT YET DISPOSED OF.
Although Convicted Twelve Days Ago by Jury the Judge Has Not
 Yet Imposed Sentence.

Judge Low appears to be as change able as the wind. One day he decides upon a certain course and the next day he Is moved to go on an entirely differ ent tack.
 The case of Attorney w. II. Mahoney Is an apt illustration. Mahoney was ar rested on June by Policeman w. J. Smith for obstructing street crossing. The case was tried by a jury on June Is and Mahoney was convicted and ordered to appear for sentence June IS. That day Mahoney's attorney moved for a new trial, an, extraordinary proceeding after conviction by a jury, and the Judge granted the motion, continuing the case till June 9. When the case was then called the Judge stated that he intended to dismiss 1t, as the arresting officer and Mahoney had shaken hands, but later he changed his mind and again continued it till last Saturday.
 Saturday came and the Judge vacated the order for a new trial and ordered Ma honey to appear for sentence As neither Mahoney nor his attorney could be found another continuance was ordered until yesterday. When the case was called yesterday a new attorney appeared for Mahoney and he said he was not famil- far with the facts in the case and, be- sides, as his client had not been informed of the order to vacate the order for a new trial he asked for a further continu- ance till Thursday to enable him to be in a position to insist upon the motion for a new trial being granted. The Judge granted the continuance.
 It is nearly month since Mahoney was arrested and twelve days since he was tried and convicted, and still he is not sentenced and does not take the trouble to appear in court, as he is out on his own recogniZance. There is keen specu- lation in the City Hall as to what will be the final disposition Of the case after so many twistings and turnings.

A PROMISING PROSPECT
A Strike of SuIphide Ore in COChiSe
 Copper Property.

The Cochise Copper company's claims in Dubacher canyon have produced a strike The shaft at presnt is about 70 feet deep, and small stream of sul- Dhide ore has been encountered in the center of the shaft, says the Orb. Sew eral small bodies of oxide of copper and iron ore have also been found dur ing the past few days, and from the present indications a large body of cop per ore is sure to be encountered.
 The claim on which the company is at work joins the Fucker claim, be- longing to the Copper Queen company, and from which they have taken out some of their richest ore. The shaft on the claim is about 150 feet from the side line Of the Rucker, and the shots of the miners at work in the latter can be heard in the Cochise cOmpany's shaft A new whin has lately been erected on the property and everything put in first-class shape for pushing de- velopment work.
 The Cochise company is composed entirely of our own citizens, business men Of our town, and who know what they are doing by investing their money in this enterprise. L. c. Shattuck, the well-known brewery man, is president of the company; s. K Williams, secre-
 
 The company at present owns thirteen mining cla-ms of twenty acres eacEA all of which lie directly north of the Cop per Queen company's properties, while three of the 1Iaims adjoin the Fucker Union and Upper Jack, belonging to the latter company.
 m Stock in the above company is now on the market, and can be purchased at 10 cents a share at present, but the ap- pearance Of the ore in the shaft is more than likely to send the price upward Applications for stock should be made to the secretary or president
 The company being entirely in the control of our own business men speaks volumes in it's behalf. Miners and resi- dents of Bisbee, who are familiar with the mineral formation of the mines of the Quaen company, some of them hay ing worked in those mines upwards of ten years, and some longer, are UeIng fully satisfied that ore aboundS in the Cochise oompany's properties, have all ready bought a considerable amount of stock From the fact of these pur- chases by the miners, one is warranted in believing that it is the best indica- ticn of a large and valuable mining property, an, consider this fact the best recommendatiCn to purchasers of stock and a guarantee of the future prospects of their enterprise.
