MINING DECISION.
Judge McCarty Renders An Opinion
of Interest to Mining Men.

Richfeld, June 11-All day Thurs
day and Friday the case of George
Dimmick ct al. VS.. Willis Rouff was
heard in the Sixth judicial district
court in this city with Judge William
NJ. McCarty on the bench.
Last summer Willis Rouff took a
bond on the famous Bolitho-Hess
placers at the foot of Gold Mountain in
Clear Greek canyon for some Wyoming
capitalists and worked the property Wig
orously until his moneyed men became
slack in sending him the cash. Some
time before Rouff took hold of the prop
erty J. NJ. Bolitho and Jacob Hess
started a ditch from Mill creek to wind
around the mountain to the placerS
and which was going to serve the
placers with plenty of hydraulic pres
sure for their workings. This ditch
was finished about half the distance
when Rouff took hold of the property,
and as its completion was necessary to
the property, energetic work was at
once started. Money stopped coming,
Rouff began to get deep in debt and
finally this law suit. Thirteen
mechanics liens were filed on the prop
erty by workmen who were at that
time in the employ of Rouff.
J. NJ. Bolitho, Jacob Hess ct al,
entered complaints of Intervention and
last night a judgment was rendered
against them of no cause of action, and
the costs of the case were assessed
against them.
All of the liens were rejected except
one of John Bennett, whose claim Of
$3.50 and costs was accepted.

COAL is KING in TINE OF WAR.
Great Sea Fighters DevOur Surprising Quantities and Are
Helpless Without It.

shipped from Wales since Jan. l. In
spite Of the instruction in Cuba, the
sugar refinerieS, steam plants in the
mining districts, electric light works
and factories in the cities have con-
sumed much of the coal sent from this
country. During the last five years
from 100000 to 240, 900 tons have been
exported TO Cuba annually from the
United States. The average for the
past year was about 225, 900. Supposing
the consumption to be about as usual,
it is calculated that there cannot, be
over $4,000 tons in Havana today. The
supply at either San Juan or the Cuban
capital is, therefore, limited.
SPAIN HANDICAPPED.
Considered from every standpoint, it
is truly a hazardous venture for the
fleet of any country to proceed at any
great distance from the base of fuel
supply unless they find en- route a coal
ing port at some friendly nation In
the case of Spain, our government. by
taking advantage of the situation as to
fuel, can possibly accomplish far more
than by carrying out plans generally
adopted in naval warfare. The strict
neutrality Of England and her unds-
gulsed cordiality towards Uncle Sam
is also OF very great advantage As
already stated, considerable Welsh coal
has been sent to Porto Rico, but all of
it was shipped prior to the beginnina;
OF hostilities. 1t may also be stated
that the same coal is used principally
in Spain itself and that as it is now
declared contraband by the English
government its delivery will be greatly
curtailed. The manufacturing indus
tries of the kingdom, the steamship
companies which depend upon Welsh
coal for their bunker supply, the gov
eminent plants for making ordnance,
ammunition, etc, the. dry docks and the
shipyards will all be seriously affected,
as the Spanish coal production is so
small as to be insignificant. The entire
country does not mine over 100000 tons
annually-less than % per cent of what
is exported from Newport News, Va,
alone in the same period. With this
accessible to the seacOast, it would be
of much value to the government, but
most of the mines are located in the
Biscay provinces, where the country is
so mountainous that there is no means
of transporting it to the seaboard ex-
cept on the backs of mules, which pro-
hibits its use except locally.

THE DAM BROKE.
Caused Considerable Damage In the
Vicinity of Vernal

Vernal, June 9.-Considerable incon-
venience and some loss has been sus-
tanned the last few days by the break
ing away of the waters of the upper
and central canals.
Wednesday the waters of the upper
canal came tearing down through the
fields and into the lower canal, at John
Cooks form, two miles southwest of
town, which resulted in filing the latter
to overlooking, and in the end causing
it to break away. The two streams
becoming united formed a torrent of
water which overfowed several farms,
causing considerable damage to grow
ing crops. Lynne Ashton and William
Erickson were the heaviest sufferers

CHINESE CONSERVATISM.
A Bar to improvements on the Ways
of Their Ancestors.

st. Louis Globe-Democrat: The two
national traits which retard progress in
China, according to DR.. Chester. secretary
of foreign missions of the Presbyterian
Church South, are the monumental and
unparalleled cOnceit of the people and
their conservatism, which has been bet
ter described as their adamantine, blind
fold satisfaction in the past
The first thing one sees of China, COM
ing from this direction. is the city of New
Shanghai. 1t is fine modern city with
numerous factories, well equipped; lighted
by electricity, with a wide boulevard, lined
by a magnificent row of business houses
three or four stories in height, with
handsome residences. a system of water
works and a great many conveniences Of
modern civilized life. One would suppose
that all these desirable things taken out
there and put right down before the eyes
of the Chinese. would excite their ad-
miration and stimulate a desire to have
the same advantages But We pass
through a gate, through the high stone
wall that separates New from Old Shang-
hal. and md ourselves in the midst of a
typical Chinese city-a city making about
the least pretensiOn to decency and clean
illness of any city in the empire. We ask
the citizens of Old Shanghai if they
would not like to have clean water and
clean streets and houses with grass plots
around them. and they say: mo. Our
ancestors for thousands of years have
dispensed with such things, and shall we
set up ourselves TO be wiser and better
than they?" | was told that the citizens
water supply, free of charge, to Old
Shanghai. in the hope OF averting the
pestilenceS that came from the canals.
A committee from Old Shanghai was sent
over 10 examine the water. Its members
went back and reported that they did not
like it, that it had no body to it like the
water of their canals. and that it had
neither taste nor smell" 1t might be
thought that there would be some hope
from the litterat OF the country but the
litterati live in the hope of obtaining an
office under the Chinese system, so they
stand like a stone wall of opposition
against all changes or reforms. The edu-
cation of these men consists largely in the
msmoriZing of books from 1000 to 5000
years old. and the things they know are
things that come as near as anything in
the world could come to being worth alb
solutely nothing.
Those who by bribery or some other
means do at last receive an official aD-
pointment receive but a nominal sum as
salary. They are supposed to supplement
this in such ways as they can-by pilfer-
ing money that passes through their
hands, by exacting money from itigants
and by torturing accused persons until
the highest amount possible is wrung
from their relatives in order to secure
their release. l suppose that if the devil
had been employed to devise a system for
promotion of official corruption he could
not have improved on this system There
is nothing that presents such a tremend-
ols obstacle to our mission work as the
official system in China.
