Washington, May SIN the su-
preme court to-day the following deci-
sion was announced: Flagstaff silver
Mining Co., of Utah, plaintiff, in error,
Us. Helen Tarbet. In error to the su-
preme court of Utah. The controversy
in this case relates to recapture of the
rights of two mining companies in Lit
tie Cottonwood district, Utah, who are
working subterraneously upon the
same lode, or vein of ore. The princi-
pal question involved is whether the
Flagstaff Co., has right to carry its
excavations under ground, outside of
perpendicular drawn side lines of its
surface location, when by so doing it
infringes upon the rights OF the adjoin-
ing claimant.


With regard to the whole important
question of following the lodes or veins
Of ore, below the surface, and the res
pective rights of the contending parties
in such cases, the court holds as
follows. First, the location of o min
ing claim upon lode or vein of ore,
should be laid along the same, length
wise Of its course, at or near tbs sur
face, both under the miningfact of '66
and that of '72; second, each location is
entitled to follow the dip or lode or
vein to an indefinite depth even
though it carries him outside of the
side lines of their location, but this
right is based on the hypothesis, that the
side substantially corresponds with the
course of the lode or vein at the sur
face, and that it is bounded at each
end by end lines of the location cross
ing the lode or vein and extended per-
pendicularly downwards and indefinite
ly in their own direction; third, If the
location be laid crosswlse of the lode or
vein SO that its greatest length crosses
the same instead of following the
course thereof, it will secure only SO
much of the vein as it actually crosses
at the surface and the side lines of the
location will become the end lines
thereof for the purpose of defining the
rights of the owners; fourth, locator
for working subterraneously into dip
Of vein belonging to another locator
who is in possession of his location, is
atrespasser, and liable to action for
taking one therefrom. In accordance
with these principles this court holds
that the Flagstaff Co., is outside of its
rightful boundaries and it thefore af-
nrms the judgment Of the lower court
In favor Of Helen Tarbet. Justice
Bradley delivered the opinion.

dusk, at this time of the year, will
discover the doorsteps alive with
women nursing their infants, and
with young girls gossiping among
themselves or flirting with the
young men; tho sidewalk and
roadway literally sNarming with
children screaming and shouting at
play, while the scene is lit up by
the brilliant lights Of the myriad
liquor saloons.


Perhaps the most noticeable fea-
ture of this tenement house dis
trict is the extraordinary number
Of liquor saloons it contains. At
a casual glance one would say
that there was a grog shop to
every five houses; on one block
there are no less than seven. These
are different in appearances from
the German larger-boer saloons Of
the lower districts as the people
who patronize them are from the
German beer drinkers. Instead
Of the rooted, dark basement,
with its modest little counter and
it's sombre proprietor dispensing
beer from behind: one sees large,
snowy stores, brilliantly lighted
without and gorgeous within, with
long mirrors rejecting the array
Of shining and vari, colored glasses
ranged along the counter.


Times are very hard among the
tenement house people. Hardly

distress because the father or hus.
band is cut Of work. There is no

in rags and many more have no,

families, who have to depend to
great extent upon the charity or
good will Of neighbors. And ten
ement house neighbors are usually
very kind to each other, not know
ing when kindness will be needed
in return.

GAMBLING.-From one end Of the

provides for the punishment of those

ried on to great extent, but Of late
We have heard nothing Of it. So We

NORTH WING, OR PART OF NEW WAR DEPART

An appropriation was made by Congress IN

granite for the exterior walls. There is now on
the ground ready for use much OF the granite
that will be used IN constructing this portion OF
the building. After completing the east wing.
as heretofore described, work was SUSPENDED
until the Old War department building, which
Wasln the way Of the north wing extension, ,could
be removed. In the demolition of this old build

rial thus gained could be utilized In the construc
tton OF the new building. The regular excavation
FOR the foundation OF the north wing was com
menced on the 18th OF June, and at the date o.
the report was nearly 0ne-half finished During

stone for the lower stories, and other prepara-
IONS haV1Dg oeen made on large scale, it is
expected TO have the masonry completed to the
first stoly floor by the close OF the present

balance OF the cut stone required to carry all
the walls to the top OF the first story will be de-
llVered this season. Between the opening OF
the next working season and the close of the
fiscal year it is expected that the masonry OF
the hrst story Will be completed All the
necessary drawings and other Office pre-
parations for the farther continuance of
the work will be made, as usual so that the
next appropriation Will find everything ia

WE are not TO be left out in the cold
this year, as it appeared on the face of
the returns we would, for it has at last
put in its appearance. This time it
was the crew Of a life-saving boat
that saw it, and here is its descrip-
tion:


"About 81 o'clock in the afternoon
was doing on bench, when I heard
some of the boys rushing about the
house. There appeared 10 be some
thing unsual going on. [ got up and
looked out, and saw the devilishest-
looking fish ever put my eyes on. 1t
was moving along about as fast as
man could walk. / took pair of
strong glasses and followed it along
the beach. 1t was not more than three
hundred yards from the shore. With
the glasses the head looked as large as
a hOgshead. The front of the head
looked square, and was about three
feet high, with a projection two feet
long, extending from the top of its
head. The eye toward the shore was
as large as the top of my hat, was
shiny black, and had white edge.
1t had very farce look. After [ had
followed it about q quarter of mile
below the station it gave its tail a
shake, made plunge and disappeared.
This was the first sight I had got of
its tail, and from the head to the tail
it was, at the least calculation, three
hundred feet long. It was moving
along the water the same as an eel.
The head and several parts of the
body were constantly out of the water.
1t was some species of serpent. It was
certainly not whale"

The Baltimore Sun, the leading newspaper
of Maryland. has an interesting review of the
policy of that State in exemptiDg loans upon
mortgage from taxation. The provision of law
is that mortgages upon property wholly with
this State aud the mortgage debts respect
lively secured thereby" are exempt f'om taxa
'tion. This policy was first adopted in 1870,
when it was made applicable to all mortgages,
but subsequent legislation confines it to mort
cages on property wholly within the State.
The Sun says of its success:


All these acts illustrate the policy of the Leg
islature for the past eight or ten years, and are
believed to be thoroughly in accordance with
the enlightened public opinion of the State.
The attempt has been made, but failed to re-
vivs The tax upon mortgages, ,npon the istaken
idea that such tax .ton was necessary to reach
the capital invested 10 mortgages. Experience
has demonstrated, however, that the burden of
such taxation falls not upon the capital, but
upon the land or other property which is the
subject of the mortgage. The borrower has to
pay the mortgage tax, for the simple reason
that no man is compelled TO lend upon mort
gage, that the lender will naturally stipulate to
have his interest clear and free from soy mort
gage tax, aud that any Legislation wheh is de-
signed TO prevent leOders and borrowers from
making their own terms simply results IN max
ing it more difficult to borrow, or in driving
capital out of the State to seek and find
the profitable and safe investment elsewhere
which is denied to it by narrow an d short
sighted legislation az home. Hence the Wis
dom OF exemptiug mortgages from taxation has
been fully appreciated by the Legislature of
our State, and the policy OF the act of 1870 has
been adhered to to the present time. The
taxation of mortgages means double taxation
upon the property Ut those whose necessit e5
com pel them to become borrowers.
