The decision was made Monday in Washington, and is in settlement of “a controversy~ betweentwo mining. companies in Little Cottonwood district, , Utah, one. of which is . thé Flagstaff, a mine owned chiefly in Eagland, The principal question involved was, whether the Flagstaif. Mining Company had a right to car__ry its excavations underground, outside’ the perpendicularly drawn side. linee of its’ sutfade*Todition; when by so doing it infringesupon the rights-of an adjoining claimant. With regard to the whole important question of following lodes or veins of ore below the surface, and the respective rights of the contending parties in such cases the Court held: -First—The location of amining vee glaim upon-a lode or vein of ore: should be laid along the same * Jengthwise of its course at or hear the surface, both under the Mining Act of 1866 and that of 1872. . Second—Each locator is entitled to follow the dip of the lode-or vein to an idefinite depth, eventhough it carries him outside of the side lines of the location; but this right is_based on the hypothesis that the side Jines subtantially correspond with the course of the lode or vein at the surface, and that it is bounded at each end by the end lines 6f the location crossing the lode or vein and exteading perpendicularly downward and indefinitely in their own direction. Third—If locator be laid cross~ wise ofthe lode or vein, so that its, greatest length crosses the same instead of following the coursethereof, it will secure only so much of the vein as it actually crosses at*the surface, and the side lines-of the loca. tion will only become end lines thereof for the purpose of defining the rights of the owners. ‘ Fourth—A location working sub terruneously into the dip of a vein belonging to another locator, who is in possession of his. location, is a tresapasser and liable to actioa tor _ taking the ore therefrom. In accordance with these principles, the Court held that ®*the Flagstaff Company is outside its rightful. boundaries, and it therefore aflirmed the judgment of the lower Court ~ in favor of the complainant. . —_—-_—-o«m -------— New Mcthed of River Mining.

Bulfinch, of this city, recently received the following letter dated at Rome, March 23rd, and writteh’by a lady who has spent considerable time in visiting various portions of the world: We have just returned from a trip to Naples, or Napoli‘as the Italians call it. Itis not a handsome city, . bat certainly one of the noisest in the world. It has a very bad reputation for honesty. Books er handkerchiefs are invariably stolen from ‘. outside pockets, and hand-bags frequently are snatched outofcabs, especially if the owner is a forei “er. My brother’s jacket was picked twice, in a very skillful manner, but the total haul only amounted to two bits; mother had a cape stolen while we were.in a store looking-at “some goods; one acquaintance was robbed of a. silk. handkerchief, another had the carriage while driving through a tunnel. , fo the letter case they gave chase to the man,but were unable to catch him. As bold as these robberTo offset these trifling drawbacks, Naples enjoys one of the most . perfect climates in the world, as well as the most beautiful situation; the city is shaped like a theatre, with the celebrated pay for a stage. You. can hardly tell whieh is the bluest, the water or the sky; andat sunset the water changes into all the hues of an opal. We made the ascent of Vesuvius while there—by no means so easy a thing as it sounds. We drove from the city to the Observatory, about 2,200 feet above the sea, where: the carriage road ends and-the—hard work begins. The ascent must “be made on foot. It is steep, —inclined at an angle of 35 degrees,—but that is the least difficulty. It is composed entirely of ashes, so that for ever step forward you take two backward. It t.ok us twe hours to getup, and ten minutes to come down. At every st p of the latter operation we’ sank nearly up to our knees in the ashes, —a fine thing for our Shoes, as° you may guess. Mother’s and mine were completely ruined, and S——’s nearly so, One lady of our party was carriedup on a chair by four bearers. Mother was pulled up bya man on each side; one gentleman gave it up, while-S——, another lady andj myself got up without help, a feat of which we were duly proud. More than half of those who started turned back after ten or fifteen minutes’ climbing, it is so very fatiguing and discouraging. We went into the craier, which is very large, and walked over a stream.of lava which flowed out. only the night. before. It was inches below was red-hot. We could strike our sticks through the crust, and pull them ‘out burning, did not stay there long, for it is considered dangerous, and: the’ guide was very uneasy. The mountain was unusually active that day, sending.out-showers of red-hot stenes and lava every few minutes with a sound like that of atremendous steam. engine.’ The lar-est of the stones fell back into the mouth of the crater, but many fell’not farfrom where we The guides put pieces of.coin in the hot lava, thenpour wine over, and knock off the pieces for keepsakes, which they sell atthe rate of tencentseach. As the perdanger, enough. We paid one visit to Herculaneam and three to Pompeii, during our stay. . The latter is by far more. interesting, as only a very small proI considered that cheap i — of the first named place has m excavated, and partof that is under-ground, and was to be visited with torches. It lies eighty feet below the level of the streets of Resina, the modern town. While in the ancient Theatre we could hear the rumbling of the carriages over our heads. Pompeii is extremely interesting, although only the bare ruinsof the wallsare remaining, and even these are in many cases falling to decay. The streets are admirably paved with large irregular pieces of lava in which the chariot wheels of two thousand years ago have worn deep ruts. At street corners and other places are high stepping-stones for the convenience of foot-passennie There are also fountains and ge square cisterns at many of the ‘corners, adorned with masks or heads of gods. The walls are still covered with paintings in the most brilliant, and gaudy, colors, fred! and yellow being the favorite: but these colors, were laid ‘on with such inimitable art, that neither the s¢orching ashes of Vesuvius, nor the decay of eighteen, centuries, nor exposure to the weather for one hundred and odd pe have been able to destroy— ardly to injure them, Mostoof the finest paintings have been ‘taken™ to the Naples Museum, aa well as the bronzes, marbles, jewels and other works of art.

Bulfinch, of this city, recently received the following letter dated at Rome, March 23rd, and writteh’by a lady who has spent considerable time in visiting various portions of the world: We have just returned from a trip to Naples, or Napoli‘as the Italians call it. Itis not a handsome city, . bat certainly one of the noisest in the world. It has a very bad reputation for honesty. Books er handkerchiefs are invariably stolen from ‘. outside pockets, and hand-bags frequently are snatched outofcabs, especially if the owner is a forei “er. My brother’s jacket was picked twice, in a very skillful manner, but the total haul only amounted to two bits; mother had a cape stolen while we were.in a store looking-at “some goods; one acquaintance was robbed of a. silk. handkerchief, another had the carriage while driving through a tunnel. , fo the letter case they gave chase to the man,but were unable to catch him. As bold as these robberTo offset these trifling drawbacks, Naples enjoys one of the most . perfect climates in the world, as well as the most beautiful situation; the city is shaped like a theatre, with the celebrated pay for a stage. You. can hardly tell whieh is the bluest, the water or the sky; andat sunset the water changes into all the hues of an opal. We made the ascent of Vesuvius while there—by no means so easy a thing as it sounds. We drove from the city to the Observatory, about 2,200 feet above the sea, where: the carriage road ends and-the—hard work begins. The ascent must “be made on foot. It is steep, —inclined at an angle of 35 degrees,—but that is the least difficulty. It is composed entirely of ashes, so that for ever step forward you take two backward. It t.ok us twe hours to getup, and ten minutes to come down. At every st p of the latter operation we’ sank nearly up to our knees in the ashes, —a fine thing for our Shoes, as° you may guess. Mother’s and mine were completely ruined, and S——’s nearly so, One lady of our party was carriedup on a chair by four bearers. Mother was pulled up bya man on

each side; one gentleman gave it up, while-S——, another lady andj myself got up without help, a feat of which we were duly proud. More than half of those who started turned back after ten or fifteen minutes’ climbing, it is so very fatiguing and discouraging. We went into the craier, which is very large, and walked over a stream.of lava which flowed out. only the night. before. It was inches below was red-hot. We could strike our sticks through the crust, and pull them ‘out burning, did not stay there long, for it is considered dangerous, and: the’ guide was very uneasy. The mountain was unusually active that day, sending.out-showers of red-hot stenes and lava every few minutes with a sound like that of atremendous steam. engine.’ The lar-est of the stones fell back into the mouth of the crater, but many fell’not farfrom where we The guides put pieces of.coin in the hot lava, thenpour wine over, and knock off the pieces for keepsakes, which they sell atthe rate of tencentseach. As the perdanger, enough. We paid one visit to Herculaneam and three to Pompeii, during our stay. . The latter is by far more. interesting, as only a very small proI considered that cheap i — of the first named place has m excavated, and partof that is under-ground, and was to be visited with torches. It lies eighty feet below the level of the streets of Resina, the modern town. While in the ancient Theatre we could hear the rumbling of the carriages over our heads. Pompeii is extremely interesting, although only the bare ruinsof the wallsare remaining, and even these are in many cases falling to decay. The streets are admirably paved with large irregular pieces of lava in which the chariot wheels of two thousand years ago have worn deep ruts. At street corners and other places are high stepping-stones for the convenience of foot-passennie There are also fountains and ge square cisterns at many of the ‘corners, adorned with masks or heads of gods. The walls are still covered with paintings in the most brilliant, and gaudy, colors, fred! and yellow being the favorite: but these colors, were laid ‘on with such inimitable art, that neither the s¢orching ashes of Vesuvius, nor the decay of eighteen, centuries, nor exposure to the weather for one hundred and odd pe have been able to destroy— ardly to injure them, Mostoof the finest paintings have been ‘taken™ to the Naples Museum, aa well as the bronzes, marbles, jewels and other works of art.
