Explanation.
a survey.

In our issue of last week appeared in
the criminal returns of the justices oil
the peace filed with the supervisors,
and approved by them at their last
session, an item in relation to a charge
of larceny against w. E. Speer and A.
]. Speer. While the returns as pub
lished show that the defendants were
discharged, still it is due to the Speer
brothers to explain the matter more
fully, which we are pleased to do upon
learning of the facts of the case. It
seems that the Speer boys bought a
quantity of charcoal belonging to one
Sautirfo of Volcano. The purchase
was made through C. L. Culbert. as
agent for Santirfo. The coal was to be
hauled away at the pleasure of the
purchasers. The purchase price was
paid and quantity of the coal had
been hauled away. Upon going up for
more coal, under the contract of pur-
chase, they were arrested for larceny.
There was not the least idea of taking
the property without authority. The
case never came to a hearing, as the
charge was dismissed by the district
attorney as soon as the real status of
the matter was known.

Vaudeville Theatre.

John Chinn formally opened his
place of amusement in the show line on
Saturday evening. The opening was a
grand success. Indeed, the place has
been running to full houses every
night; sometimes there is scarcely
standing room to be had. He is con-
templating getting up new performers
from time to time, and will spare nc
effort to keep up the interest. The
success that has attended this effort to
furnish amusement in connection with
business, has caused others to think oil
starting in the same line. 1t is freely
reported that at least one more place
at the north end of the street is max.
ing arrangements to launch out in the
show business,

Mattley VS.. Thomas.

This injunction suit to prevent de
fendant maintaining an obstruction ir
the shape of gate or fence to prevent
plaintiff ) enjoyment of an alleged
right OF way over lands OF defendant
has awakened considerable interest.
The court rendered its decision on the
18th in favor of defendant, and deny
ing the writ on the ground that the
obstruction having been raised, and
the alleged injury already done, an
injunction suit is not the proper remed Y
for its removal. The decision does not
go to the merits of the matter at issue.
1t leaves the controversy to be settled
by another suit. Mattley claims a
right of way by virtue of having used
the same for over 40 years. No deed
passed, and nothing in writing was
produced in support of his claim. The
decision of the court concludes as fol-
lows: In the case at bar the complaint
alleges, after alleging ownership of q
tract of land and the use of the right
of way described by plaintiff over the
lands of defendant for a long number
of years, as follows: That defendant on
or about the Goth day of January, 1903,
and before the commencement of this
action, obstructed said way of plaintiff
by building fence across it, and de-
fendant has ever since maintained said
fence without consent of plaintiff,
whereby the plaintiff has been, and is
now, prevented from enjoying said way
TO his damage in the sum of $500.
Clearly, then, this is case where the
injury complained of has already TAX en-
place, and the obstruction complained
of has already been constructed, and
under the rule laid down a mandatory
preliminary writ of injunction should
not issue. At the argument of the
case it was intimated that plaintiff was
forbidden to enter the premises even
for the purpose of surveying the road
way for more particular description
to be used at the trial This is mat
ter that can be easily obviated either
by stipulation of the parties, or in case
of refusal, by an order of the court for
a survey.

Report on Del Monte Mines for January
and February.

JACKSON, CAL, February 8, 1903.
To the Subscribers and Stock kholders:-
The Superintendent reports as fol-
lows:-
Total length of cross cut tunnel jan
uary lst, $50 feet; distance run in De-
cember, during 2S days of two shifts,
6o it.; cost, S624.04 or 1898 per foot;
expense Of milling operationsin Decem-
Der, SI2l 80; expense of construction
work in December, $9S. 25; total length
of Monte Del tunnel January 1st, 173
feet; distance run on tunnel in Decem-
Der, Is feet; cross cut from tunnel in
December, feet; cost, S56.97, or So SO
per foot; upraise run in December, 9
feet; drifts run from same in Decem-
Der, IL feet; total length of upraise
January lst, 106 feet; cost, $S5. IS, or
S.. 80 per foot; proceeds of 169 days
mill run, so tons of ore, together with
a quantity of waste, 1854 Al; net mill
value OF actual ore, per ton, estimated
at S11.7O
For January, the superintendent re-
ports as follows:
Total length of crosscut tunnel Feb
ruary 1st, 595 feet.
Distance run in January, 65 feet.
Drift run from upraise in upper tun-
mel, to connect with west shaft, IA feet.
STOPPED during January. 20 feet by 5
feet by Is feet.
Mill was in operation during January
4 days.
Cost of operations in upper tunnel
during January, sl5O30.
For lining raise, $25.
Cost of milling, $50. ~
Labor on hauling wood and timber,
Labor on construction and repairs,
$50. 25.
Cost of tunneling and stopping during
January, S204 per foot.
The mill run made during December
shows the proceeds from the total ore
milled from the raise, including the
waste. During January, owing to the
severe storms at the mine, we were
unable to run the mill to advantage, so
the ore stopped was sorted and put in
the bins. As soon as the weather
moderateS, milling will be continued on
sorted rock, which ought to yield re-
turns of about IS per ton. During
January the severe and unusual frosts
caused considerable trouble with the
water pipes and the compressor plant,
necessitating extra labor and repairs,
which is the cause of the increase in
the foot-cost of running the cross-cut.
In this tunnel, we recently passed
through a heavy granite formation,
massive and arge-breaking in struc-
ture, believed to be true wall-matter.
We are due now to strike the Pima Vita
ledge in short distance, and the
formation recently encountered leads
us to believe we have passed through
the wall of the entire formation, behind
which all our lodges will be found.
Respectfully submitted,
JAS. JAY WRIGHT,
Assistant Secretary.

ward to with much interest by the
young folks, comparatively few are in

ofsending sentimental or comic missives

ancient origin. The day is named
after st. Valentine, a presbyter who

secutions of the emperor Claudius in

sociated with the present custom of
sending loving epistles is not SO clear.
