Jefferson, March PA judgment of
$5,400 was secured by. Miss Nellie
Breiner against T. j. Nugent in a Sc
duction case just closed brought in the
district court. The case was on trial
four days, many witnesses being ex-
amined and the jury reached a YER
dict after seven hours consideration.
Miss Breiner sued for $1,000 and re-
ceived three-fourths of that sum. Miss
Breiner was unable to appear in court
and her testimony was taken by de-
position, which procedure the defense
strongly objected to and moved that
the case be taken from the jury Judge
Powers overruled this and it is very
likely an appeal to the supreme court
will be taken.

Lead, S. D., Nov. 24.-lhe Gro Hondo
mine and improvements nave been sold
by the sheriff 10 j. w. Sparks and associ-
ates of Philadelphia. for SGT, 1884, 50. The
sale was made for representatives of the
Philadelphia owners. This property was
purchased by the Orc Hondo Mining COM
pany organized by II. j. Mayham, George
Nix and associates of Denver. The prop
cry embraces LEO acres OF choice ground
situated south and adjoining the Home
stake minc. y shaft was sunk about 200
feet for tn" purpose of striking the eX-
tension of the Homestakc vein and several
hundred feet of drifting and cross cutting
was done. a few stringers of high grade
ore were passed through, but mining men
believe that not sufficient depth was
reached tc find the main ore body. Charles
M. Schwab, the well known steel magnate
holds, 1t is said, about 10000 shares Of the
stock and there was a rumor some time
ago in the Fills to the effect that he in
tended to complete the development work
on his property. The property was oyer
capitalized for 100000 shares and there
has been considerable m~ismanagemcnt
shown. 1t is believed that the original in
c~orporators of the company will raise sur
licient money to redeem the property and
That eventually money will be furnished to
put the shaft down SEQ feet deeper. The
property is considered one of the best in
the Black Hills and has great possibilities
