Ernest l.. Frye, one or the discOv- erers of the rich gold claims in Gold Hill district, spent few days in town this week, and reports the district coming to the front with great strides. A considerable amount of work is now going on in the camp, and some very remarkable discoveries are being made. The rich ore is not confined to the original discoveries by any means, as is demonstrated by all work done. Crawford and Await now have five feet Of ore which has an average value Of Sl0O per ton. If these values hold for any considerable depth they will soon have one of the big gold mines of the territory. Other properties seem to be developing equally as we'll, and the chances are most favorable for number of big mines. A mill will soon be one of the needs of the camp, which will be erected as soon as the deve ,opment on the properties will justify.
 A. Lafave, who owns four claims at Gold Hill, the new gold camp near Metcalf, Is spending few days in town thIS week. He owns the north extension Of the Lady Mary, which has recently made such a remarkable showing. On this claim he has cross cut the lead every twenty feet for 200 feet, md finds that the ore averages 1 feet in width and goes S20 in gold. and also carries some lead. He will drive q tunnel in on the lead further down the hill, and if It shows up as we'll al depth a. it does on the surface, he will arrange for the erection of small mill. He reports that in one day two men on the Lady Mary took out l5 tons of ore which would average SJ0 per ton, which is certainly making money last enough. Mr. Lafave states that there is a sufficient amount Of water in the camp for two small stamp mills, and that more can be de- veloped. Mr. Lafave is man of much experience, having prospected and worked in mines from the heart Of Mexico to Nome, and he says that he considers the new camp of Gold Hill as promising for the amount of work done as any he has eyer seen.

LOCAL MINES AND MINING.

Ambrose Burke came in this week from his camp in the Coronado noun tains, where he spent the winter, and still remains doing development work on his claims. He expects 10 at once commence driving a tunnel for the development Of the Copper Plate claims, which show rich ore on the surface. The surface will be driveu in on the lead, and in ore all the way.
 4 nd still the big sales go on at Bis bee. Another big company has been organized with a few millions to de- velop mines Of the Warren district. During the last two years more money in mining has come into that district than in all the rest Of the southwest. The beauty of it Is that it Is mining money" put up by men who have faith in mines. It seems 10 be an easy matter to get money for the Warren district.

TRANSPORT CATTLE

The thoroughbred horses landed from
the army transport Dix on Thursday
and taken to the corral at Iwilei will
have their shore liberty greatly short
ened as all are to be loaded aboard the

because the local veterinarian of the

cattle on the transport were afflicted
with what is known as Texas fav@r
After the horses We're ashore it was
discovered that the cattle had tne fever
and these We're therefore compelled 10

Health Department notified Captain
Humphrey, L. s. Depot Quarterrnaster
here, that it would send scows to the
transport for the purpose of removing
the sweepings from the ship and taking
them out to sea. The scowS and the
notification came too late, however, for
the vessel had been cleaned early in
the day and the sweepings thrown into
the harbor. The corraI-master aboard
announced that he would not clean the
ship again while in port. and would
begin TO load in the horses early today
so as to be ready to leave as early as
possible
The corraI-master said yesterday
that nearly all southern cattle are
afflicted with what is known as Texas
fever" but he did not believe the stock
aboard had it in a serious form
All the cattle came from an agricul-
tural college in Mississippi. and had
been carefully selected.

BY unanimous opinion of the Supreme

decree of Judge Robinson is affirmed

findings of the court in the syllabus,
together with portions of it's reasoning
in the body of the decision:
ALLEGATIONS in an answer setting UP
that the bill was brought to gratify
private vengeance and not in the public
interest, and that plaintiff had threat

against the plaintiff, no unfair advan-

"A taxpayer may maintain bill for
an injunction against a public officer
to restrain him from carrying out an
illegal contract
"A delay of two months after the
award of a contract before bringing suit

opinion says:
THE defense of laches was not set
up in the answers and does not appear
to have been urged before the trial

be made in order to have the defense

ON THE MERITS.

"A contract for the construction of a
wharf and other work, based on specifi-
cations which reserved to the Superin-
tendent of Public Works the right to
use in the new work any piles from
the old work considered suitable, held
to constitute such an element of I'M
| certainty as to render intelligent bid
ding and competition impossible, and
the contract itself void"
In this connection the following are
portions of the courts observations:
This brings. US to a consideration of
the merits. The first contention adj
vanced by the plaintiff is that the
original plans and specifications were
too indefinite to be the basis for COM
petitive bids. The uncertainty claimed
arose from the right reserved by the
department to use in the new structure
any of the piles removed from the old
structure. This right being reserved in
the specifications was binding upon all
intending bidders, and they were obIig-
ed to take it into consideration and
make provision against its exercise. 1t
is impossible, however, to see how any
intending bidder could intelligently pro-
vide against the exercise of the right
reserved. Instead of framing a bid for
a definite quantity of material and def
mite work, the bidder was faced by con-
dltions purely speculative. The depart
meat did not undertake to say for what
percentage of the new work old piles
could be used. 1t did not commit itself
TO furnish, or permit the use of. any
Old piles. Yet the menace was always
present that the most careful estimate
or a bidder might be upset by directions
to take and use old piles The Assist
ant superintendent of Public Works.
Mr.. Rowland, testified that at the time
the original plans and specifications
were filed it was not known how many
OF the old piles, if any, would be avail
able for use in the new structure, and
lhat 1t was not positively ascertained
that none We're available until after
they We're pulled up and placed on the
ouIkhead, which was after the contract
mad been awarded. Bidders were thus

THE ANNULLED CONTRACT.


The contract thus nullifed was for
constructing Brewers wharf and shed,
being awarded to the American Hawai-
ian Engineering and Construction Co
at $3.50 and % cents per square foot
for bitument and concerto foundation
After the call for tenders was adver-
tised some of the specification refer
red to therein We're altered, written
notices of the alterations being sent to
intending bidders but no change made
in the public advertisement. Among
the altera lions were stipulations re-
garding the right reserved by the Su-
perintendent of Public Works to use
old piles from the former wharf 1t
was on this particular that the suit
for injunction was based.
