The Mountaineer mine is situated 800 feet east of the Merrifield. Some time since it was bonded to _Byron .Jennings by Messrs. Bobo, Carr & Allen for $10,000. The latter suspended operations on it afew weeks ago, after having become well satisfied that it promised to makean ex-_ tensive property, and went to San Francisco for the purpose of obtain-. ing capital with which to properly work it. Information just received from himistotheeffect that héis méetlng with success in negotiating, and that he will soon return here, erect a mill and recommence operations. Two tunnels have been run from the creek, along the ledge some of the way. Theupper one. is 275 feet long,and the lower 30) feet. A winze has been sunk adistancée of 7% feet. and ten tons of ore that milled $12 a ton taken out. The ledge is from 2 to 24 feet thick. It is a peculiar one from the fact that it runs east and westa distance of 300 feet, then’ makes an abrupt tura to the south. A large quantity of ore taken out of a winze that was sunk by Bobo & Co. was sold to Mr. Maltman for $803 aton. Fora distance of 80 feet where the same management also worked good rock has been stoped out. It is proposed to run a tunnel direct irom the face ofthe bank to the curve in the ledge, a distance of the mouth ot it. Themachinery will be run by water.

A correspondent of the Marysville Appeal writes from Nevada City as follows: “Owing to the’successful efforts of the local papers to get up a ‘boom,’ Nevada is surfeited with both business men and those looking for émployment. All this section needs to make it thé best county in the State is capital to work the mines already discovered, which, to say the least, is a safer investment thanany of theso called bonanzas east of the mountains, B.t distance lends euchantment, &c.” The writer of the above sees threugh colored glass. The fact is that the Transcript has made no effort to get up an excitement as charged, but has merely chronicled the various developments made froin time to time, and extended merited words of encouragement to the workeis. Tie prosperity of the community is of a solid and therefore desirable kind, and arises from natural causes.

The Supreme Court Gets Down'to its Knitting ! And Fires theSlickens Case out of the Window! How the News was Received— Flying Flegs and Booming Bells,Crashing Cannons, . Blowing of Steam Whistles, etc, The case of Keyes vs. Litt!e York Mining Company et als., was an action brouget by plaintiff against all the mines on Bear River and its tributaries, to restrain them from turning tailings into Bear River, whereby plaintiff's ‘ranch was injured. Defendants demurred to the complaint upon the ground of the misjoinder of parties defendant, they contending that a separate tort féasers having no connection with one another, and no collusion being charged, they could not be jointly held in-ttf¥ action. The 10th District Court. baving decided this point against them, and having rendered final judginent against detendants, an appeal was taken to the Supreme Court. This appeal came on for argument on Friday last, when the’question of misjoinder of defendants raised by the demurrer was discussed as a preliminary question, and after argument the Court yesterday forenoon reversed the judgment upon the ground that plaintiff could not thus in one action unite the defendants. This decision does not go to the merits of the action, but simply holds that if the plalntiff has rights in the premises, he must enforce them by separate actions against the individuats-or corporations infringing those rights. This decision also virtually disposes of the case of Marysville vs. North Bloomfield Mining Company et als. If the farmers want to prosecute the miners, they must take one ‘company Or individual at a time, instead of “bunching” them as they have so vainly endeavored to do. Still that alternative is an impracticable one, for the plaintiffs could never succeed in establishing the fact that their land’ was injured by debris from any one claim. It now remains for a solution of the problem to be sought out by legislation, and it must be one that will not result in material damage to either pariy interested. When the news of the decision was received in ‘this city there were demonstrations of joy to be witnessed on every hand. Men grasped each other by the hand and exchanged hearty congratulations, while contented smiles lit up their features. The fact is that for months past the contemplation of this subject has made our people feel downcast.
