The action was on the part of tn"

The opinion drawn by Judge Spear is
as follows:
"An inference of fact may be found

Held. that the jury instead of bas-

dition of the engine was the direct
cause of the breaking of the eccentric
rod and consequently the rroXimate
cause of his injuries: and he thcreupon
contended that there was something

pounding Of the engine
Held: That the plaintiff has failed to
produce evidence of the fact that the

The testimony shows conclusively
that the pounding was in the cross

Blake followed the advice for a
month. When his second instalment

against John that he had a balance of
only forty.ive thousand. Two months
after he had received a check for the
final payment, which terminated his
original property rights in the mines,
he admitted to John Burt that his to-

you may have a substantial interest in

Nothing would suit me better, but
I'm afraid I'm not qualified for such

to wealth opened out before him.

you make millions, and am betting
you will,' said Jim as they shook
hands and separated.
Mr.. Hawkins. David Parker and
John Burt spent three nights in the
cramped quarters Of the log cabin,
and thoroughly enjoyed themselves.
On their return to San Francisco a
formal agreement was signed, and
John Burt and John Hawkins became
partners in the Sailor Mine and in
the scores Of claims surrounding it.
For eighteen months John directed
the efforts Of an army Of men. swarm
ing like ants on the mountain-side. A
village sprang up in the valley and
clustered about the stamp mills Of
Hawkins G. Company. Churches,
gambling houses, stores and saloons
contended for patronage. Thousands
Of claims were staked out; but nature
had ceased from her gold sowing
when she finished the broad layers Of
the Sailor Mine and its outcroppings.
The mines produced eight hundred
thousand dollars in gold the first year.
After deducting Blakes price, Johns
share in the profits was more than a
hundred thousand. His dividends in
the following six months were three
hundred thousand. Following Mr..
Hawkins advice, he so invested his
profits as to become a millionaire be-
fore he had been in California two
years.
Having placed the mining property
on a permanent footing and in charge
Of competent managers and superin-
tendents, he transferred his head
quarters to San Francisco. He still
made periodical visits to the mines,
where he had an Office in the old log
cabin; orders having been issued not
to destroy it under any circumstances.
