A Stock Boom.

There is something doing up the
Comstock way from the manner IN
which the stock board is jumping skv-
ward. Ophir hit the $3.50 mark yes
terday, while all the stocks along the
line felt the effect. When good ore is
struck on the Comstock, the Pine
street sharps begin to get in their
work. A look at the sale of the past
few days will convince anyone that
the interest in the old lode has not
died out, in spite of the fact that the
bears have had an inning for many
moons.
The Tonopah stocks, on the contra
ry, are still being beaten down, and 1t
something is not done to put the le-
gitimate mines out that way in BET
ter light, the stockholders stand a
mighty poor show for some time to

In the trading at the board yester-
day in San Francisco, over 10000
shares of COmstOck securities changed
hands and at an advance in price all
along the line. The trading on the To-
nopah shares was to the contrary. Dur
ing Mondays sales only couple OF
thousands of shares were traded and
at q reduction in prices.
The share holders can draw the con-
illusions and results from the sales
Of the stocks in the trading community

promises to pay dividends at no dis
tant date, is selling for $1.17 as az

is either a lack of confidence or else

SUPREME COURT DECISION.
Continued from Second Page.

any number.
It seems that the number deliver
able under the contract inevitably
turns upon the three hundred nienti-
oned in the main body of the instr,l-
ment Of contract, and the recon
ciliation view above mentioned is the
true one.
1t should perhaps, be observed here
that the pivotal words three hundre1
are not only in the main body of the
contract, but are themselves in writ
ing and to this extent is removed any
foundation Of fact for invoking the
rule Of superiority of written over
printed matter.
Appellant claims that the instruc-
ton given by the court as to apport-
ioning the forfeit money, to-wit: 5000,
was erroneous, and for this reason the
judgment and order of the trial court
should be reversed and a new trial or
dered. This would probably be true, Il
the Interpretation of the contract con-
tended for by appellant were correct.
For it would seem under the author
tiles cited that in general forfeit mo-
ney paid on contract cannot be re-
| covered when the party receiving the
forfeit money is in no respect in de-
fault. II the Interpretation Of the con-
tract contended for by appellant were
correct, then it would seem that there
is nothing appearing in the matter be-
fore this court showing that appellant
was in any respect in default.
But believing, as we do, that the
correct Interpretation of the contract
is that above given, to-wit, for about
three hundred head of cattle and that
the delivery of only one-half of that
number, to-wit, one hundred and fifty
! was not a sufficient compliance with
the terms of the contract on the part
of the appellant, it follows that the err
ror complained of by appellant was
error in his favor and therefore he is
not in position to take advantage
thereof.
There are some other assignments
of error; but if the view above stated
be correct, they become immaterial.
1t is ordered that the judgment and
order of the trial court denying the
motion for a new trial in this case
and the judgment following said order
be affirmed.
