The society known as ‘Trinity’ after 4 desperate struggle has at last succumbed to indifference and hard times. Meeting after meeting~ has been called by the faithful, but never a quorum present. On Wednesday last the institution breathed its last in presence of three’ members—about the same number and persons as have attended for the past month: These ladies who have tried so hard to keep the fold together at last became discouraged and decided to hand over the coin, goods and other property to the Vesty, instructing them to call a meeting of the Church members for the purpose of making some disposition of the property and closing the church until such time as the members have the time and are in the mood to resume active work in the vineyard. The meeting has been called _ for Wednesday, Feb. 22, at the Union Hotel, Native Daughters’ Entertainment, The regular meetings of Laurel Parlor, Native Daughters of the Golden West, are exceedingly pleasant according to the statements of those who are privileged to attend. There are at. tractive programs-of musical and literary exercises.

Following is the substance of the Supreme Court decision in the Nevada county case of The Champion Mining Company, Piaintiff and Apellant, vs. Consolidated Wyoming! Gold Mining Company, Defendant and Respondent. It settles a number of heretofore disputed points in connection with quartz mining locations: This action was brought to recover damages for alleged trespasses by defendant upon the miaoing claims of ‘plaintiff, and to obtain an injunction against similar trespasses in the future. The answer admits that defendant, by accident, took from plaintiff's claims gold-bearing quartz of the value of $120, but denies.the other material averments of the complaint. The Court below (sitting without a jury) found in favor of defendant ; gave judgment for plaintiff for said $120, but for no more; and denied the prayer for an injunction. Plaintiff appeals from the judgment, and from an order denying a new trial. * * * * * * Each of the parties is a-mining~corporation, and each owns a body of quartz mining claims. The surface ground of each party adjoins that of the other. Inthe ground of. plaintiff there isa quartz ledge called the “Phillip” ledge, and in the ground of defendant there isa ledge called the “Wyoming.” After the respective rights of the parties to these ledges had vested,.it became known, for the’ first. time, that at various levels be eath the. surface, and at an average depth of about five hundred feet,these two ledges (the Phillip and Wyoming) united, and from thence downward formed only one ledge. Defendant, by~ accident or mistake, took $120 worth of quartz out of the Phillip ledge ata point above its junction with the Wyoming, for which judgment was confessed; but the real trespass complained of was that the defendant took gold-bearing quartz out of the united ledge below the junction. And so the main question in the case is, Who owns the united ledge? The rule by which such a question must be determined is stated in Section 2,336, Revised Statutes U. S and is as follows: “Where two or more veins unite, the oldest or prior location shall taxe the vein below the point of junction, including all the space of intersection.’’ * * * * * * The grantors of defendant received a United States patent for the Wyoming ledge (or, at least, for the ground in which the apex and upper part of oi the ledge are situated) on the 19th day of September, 1874. The plaintiff has not a patent for the land in which the Phillip ledge is situated, but holde @ possessory title thereto under general mining customs, and the laws of the United States and of this State upon the subject. (And this latter kind of title.is, of course, as good for the purpose of a suit like the present one, as a patent.) : The defendant, for the purpose of showing a valid location of the Wyoming ledge at certain periods prior to the date of the patent, introduced, against the objections and exceptions of plaintiff, the preliminary papers and proceedings filed and had in the United States Land Office upon which the patent was based." These papers and proceedings, if properly admitted, showed or intended to show, Ist, that the’ Official survey of the Wyoming mine, as afterwards incorporated into the patent was made December 10, 1872. The application fir the patent, which was filed March 8, 1863, stated that the mine was located in 1851 or 1852 by persons then unknown and that, if recorded; the record was destroyed by the fire which burned the Courthouse in Nevada City ‘in 1856; and also, among othier things, that the applicants were in the quiet and actual possession of, and that there had been no opposing or adverse claim to the premises ‘‘for two years last past,” that being the statutory period of limitation for actions relative to mining claims. The Court below seemed to take the view that these proceedings in the land department of the United States constituted an authoritative adjudication of the truth of the statements in the application, which bound ‘the plaintiff. And counsel for defendant strenuously argues that, as the law of Congress provides that actual possession, without any adverse claim during the period of a statutory limitation, gives a right toa patent, and as the. application in question put the right to a patent on that ground,there-’ fore it should be held to have been conclusively adjudicated that the Wyoming claim was located at least two years before the date of application, which would be Mareh 8, 1871, * * With respect to the united ledge which was afterwards discovered to be a union of tle Wyoming and the Phillip, there was nothing in the application for a patent to the Wyoming claim which called for any contest of the owners of the Phillip. The application for the Wyoming claim, if grantted; would result in a patent for only the surface ground claimed, and the ledges whose apexes were within it. If it.should turn out that a ledge within that ground united with another ledge, the property of an adjoining owner, the ownership of the united ledge would have to be determined upon the principle of-priority of location. Moreover, at the time of the Wyoming application and patent, the union of the two ledges at a great depth in the earth was entire y unknown, and not even suspected. The owners_of the Phillip ledge, therefore, with respect to the present claim to the united ledge, would and could not have had 2 J any standing in the Land Department as adverse claimants tothe Wyoming application. It is, therefore, somewhat difficult to see hew the question of priority of location between the Phillip and Wyoming ledges could be adjudicated in a proocegeding in which the location of the Phillip ledge was not, involved at, all;or how ex parte proof, offered in the Wyoming applica: tion for the satisfaction of the United States Government, is admissible .in the case at bar, where the contest is about something not appearing on the face of that application, or involved in that proceeding. If, therefore, the determination of this appeal necessarily depended upon the. correctness df the rulings of the Court below, admitting the proceedings in the Land Office in evidence, we would be strongly. inclined to hold such ruling erroneous. Inthe view which we take on the case, however, itis not necessary_ to pass conclusively upon that question. The Court? below found that there was no validJocation of the Phillip ledge until 1879—avout five years after the issuance of the Wyoming patent. The fiiding is ‘‘that no boundaries of said location (the Phillip) were. ever marked upon the ground so that the same could be readily traced prior to March 26th, 1879.”’ Thisis a’ finding of fact; and, unless it can be successfully attacked as not being supported by the evidence, then it is immaterial whether the admission of evidence to show a location of the Wyoming claim at a date prior to the patent was erroneous or not, For, of course the title of defendant Weuld be good, at least from the date of the patent; and, if at that'time there was no location of the Phillip claim, then the Wyoming must be held to have been the prior location. And us to the sufficiency’ of the evidence to support the finding on this point, -we need only say that we though we were to go far beyond the limits of the rule so often laid down by this Court for the review here, of questions of. fact. There was clear proof of a location of the Phillip claim ou the 25th of March, 1879; and the Court found that there was a location on that day, but that there was none prior to that time. Now to upset this finding it must be affirmatively shown that under the evidence it was the clear duty of the Court, forced upon it by evidence without material conflict; to find a location of’ the Philip claim prior to 1879—and, indeed, prior to 1874—the’ date of the Wyoming patent. But such a proposition is clearly not maintainable. We, ‘of course, will not recite the evidence here ; and it is sufficient to say that if the Court had found the other way it would have done so upon an exceedingly slender basis. * * * = 2. There are two other propositions presented by appellant. The respondent has a patented mine called the Ural; and the appellant claims a ledge in its adjoining ground called the New Years and New Years Extension. And appellant contends that near the southerly end of respondent’s ground, the Ural ledge passes through the side line of the Ural patented ground into the New Years ground—thus making said side line in law an end line. But the Court finds that said line is not an fend line ofthe Ural ledge of respondent, and that there is no sufficient evidence to show where said ledge crosses the lines of the Ural patent. It finds, also, that the location of the Ural mine was prior to that of the New-Years claims of that of the appellant. Moreover, it tinds that respondent has not mined, and does not threaten to mine, any ground claimed by appellant, except the united ledge formed by the junction of the Phillip and the Wyoming as above stated. And these findings are sustained by evidence. There is, therefore, no basis here for an injunction or damages. 3.At the northern end of the Wyoming patented ground there is another patented claim called the Schmidt rclaim;~owned by the Nevada City Mining Company. And appellant contends that the north line of the one was not identical wtth the south’ line of the other; that is, that between the north line of the Wyoming, as. patented, and the south ‘line of the Schmidt,. as patented, there was a small’ piece of ground not included within the lines of either patent; and that, therefore, the respondent would not be entitled, as against the owners of the Phillip, to follow the Wyoming ledge whder this piece of land, or to the united ledge if found there. But the Court found upon sufficient evidence that the Wyoming and Schmidt locations were both long prior to that of the Phillip; that they always adjoined each other: on the north and south ; that thesouthwest lineof the Schmidt patent was for a long distance identical with the north line of the Wyoming patent; and that, where these two lines were thus identical, the Wyoming ledge crosses over the Wyoming patented ground into the Schmidt patented ground, leaving no intermediate ground between the two claims. This undoubtedly gave to the owners of the Wyoming and Schmidt claims the entire ownership of the ledge from the northerly end of the one to the southerly end of the other, with the exclusive right to follow its dips and angles laterally, It appears that at a point a considerable distance easterly of the point where the ledge crosses the line common to the Wyoming and the Schmidt as aforesaid, the northerly patented line of the Wyoming, and the southerly patented line of the Schmidt, diverge, leaving a small triangular piece of around between; and the two companies by agreement divided this piece of land—or, rather, the right to work the ledge under it—between them. This they had the right to do, as against any third party subsequent in location. From a thorough examination of the whole case we find -no reason to disturb the judgment of the Court belcw.

A house, however plain it may be, if surrounded by well kept shrubbery and tasteful flowering plants, always looks well. In the Bartlett péar belt many of the most beautiful shrubs and plants can®* be made to flourish with less labor and less disappointment than in most countries. They do not attract swarms of mosquitoes as they do in many. countries, and they only require slight aid and judicious pruneing to beautify immediately. Plants that linger at the East through years of doubt and uncertainiy her» spring forward in a single season, and at once display a wealth of beauty. Water may -aid them the first year, but even without that they are almost certain to repay the planter. There are the small fruits too that demand, greater attention, and will.repay it. The strawberry should not be a tangled mass of vines, but should be in rows and cultivated. The same may be said of the raspberry, blackberry, gooseberry, and currant. They all will repay in quantity, quality and price, the little labor bestowed on them in the times between the rains when the condition of the soil admits of their; being carefully cultivated.

The Theater was about half filled with people who assembled Wednesday night to witness the representatiou of ‘‘Passion’s Slave.’ Miss Boyd is a great favorite here, and on former visits has genérally been accorded large audiences. Money is just now rather too scarce with a good many people to enable them to spend it for play-going. ‘ The performance of ‘‘Passion’s Slave’’ was in most respects meritorious. Miss Boyd has grown just a little bit stouter than when she made her first bow to a Nevada City audience, but time has not materially aged her features, lessened her grace of movement or dulled her dramatic genius. Indeed, she has more_ power and better methods now than she displayed then. She is-not only a deservedly popular actress, but a shrewd and enterprising business woman. She has accumulated a good-sized fortune and stays on the boards rather for her love of the profession than because she needs more money. Miss Boyd has some exceedingly clever ladies with her.Miss Annie Mifflin, who wins.much admiration wherever she goes,is a State of Nevada girl. She is the daughter of Mrs. Cooper formerly of Austin, who, after the death of Mr. Cooper, wedded Judge Anderson and removed to San Francisco. Miss Robin Merry is a petite bundle of animatién who judging from appearances has seen about sixteen summers. Messrs. Philleo and Hatch ‘are oldtime favorites here. They invariably do good work, and can depend on being warmly received whenever they come. Si Mr. Kohler, Mr. Wallace and Mr. Armstrongare new to this part of. the country.” Messrs. Kohler and Wallace gave’ admirable characterizations Wednesday evening, one asthe deepdyed villian ‘‘Sheply” and the other as the simple-minded ‘‘Golight.’”’ The leading man of the troupe is Mr. Barr, who comes here now, for the first time. As ‘*Manuel Defoe’? he had a splendid Seay to inake a good impression, but Wor some reason he did not appear to care about availing himself of it. Mr. Barr has for a number of years been recognized as,a competent man in the legitimate, and has held prominent places with -both Booth and Barrett. He evident:y does not take kindly to melo-drama, ‘and therefore does not exert himself to make a favorable impression in it. The instrumentations. by Mr. Prince, the pianist, were not the least pleasing features of the performance. He isa ‘player of much more than average skill. Taken as a whole, Miss Boyd has a better company than she has brought here before. Her repertoire is less extensive, and therefore. more ‘attention can be devoted to the details of those plays that are given. “Unknown” was given last evening as a farewell performance. The troupe will be at Grass Valley tonight and tomorrow night. Hard Lines for Theater Goers. Rey. Sam Small,the revivalist, recently preached thus about’ theater going: “No, I don’t think God wil put you in hell for going to the theater. I never said it and I’m never going to say it. 1’m not such a fool. But if you take the vows of the church and then yo, God will put you in hell forlying. Put thatin your-pipe and smoke it. I never heard anybody doubt that God would put you in “hell for perjury. I’ve got the Bible for it, and you watch out, because hell ain’t halfa mile ahead of you.’”’ To stand off Small, such preachers as’ Dr. Talmage, Dr. Lyman Abbott and Dr. ht. A. Holland say they do not see any harm in-going to-the theater to see what is called the legitimate drama. ae igganane suse Hunting For Mr. Hogg. J. T. Hogg of Trenton, Tenth; writes as follows: ‘‘In 1849 my father went to your State, and prior to the civil war I frequently heard from him, but since then have never heard one word: from him. I am anxious to learn what has beconie of him. If you will mmuke inquiry, er-can give me information that will assist me in finding him, or learning his fate, I will appreciate it, oh, so much. His name is J. B. llogg.

John Mitten, a Nevada City carpehter, bought a tif y-cent ticket in the last drawing of the Little Lonisiuna Lottery. Shortly after getting it he sold half of the pasteboard to Henry Dorsey, the colored laundry-man, for twenty-five cents. When the San Francisco papers arrived Wednesday evening with the announcement of the winning numbers, Mr. Mitten was mad enough to kick himself. The two coupons he bought had diri#wn 2,500 and the one he sold for 25 cents was worth $1,250. The winnersare poor men, and have families.; Dorsey has close to a dozen children and step-children, and there is not very much difference in their ages. “Mitten has been ‘‘blowing in’? money at the game for two or three years, -but-Dorsey has bought only three of four chances before. Both nen sent down to San Francisco yesterday for their prizes. They are being congratulated almost to death. They had no idea before what a host of friends. they have. Some men never find out how much they are thought. of by the community’ in which they r-side till they make a-big killing in a lottery of have some other kind of good luck. Willham Osborne, a Neyada City teamster, says he guesses he was not born toget rich by investing “in lotteries, He had a tenth ticket in Tuesday’s drawing of the Big Louisiana Lottery, and he came within just one number of winning-a tenth of the capital prize of $150,000. He isentitledto $10 for coming so close to the bullseye, but he does not know whether he ought to condescend to accept it or not. Gee -Wearing Out the Soil. Farmers in the Northern Atlantic States, asa general rule, raise a great variety of farm produce. ‘They do not confine themselves to the raising of one kind of grain, vegetables, poultry, or stock, Even what are termed small farmers, with say eighty or a hundred acres under cultivation, raise as much as they possibly can of everything they can consume on the farm or sell in the market. On these small farms in the Eastern States are produced wheat, oats, barley, buckwheat, corn, potatoes and vegetables of all kinds, besides horses, cattle, sheep agd swine. If one crop fails, others do not. The farmer is not absolutely dependent of success upon any one crop or product.of his farm. Pork may be low, beef may be low, at times, but he has butter, wool, horses to offer in the market—something, at any rate, that will ‘always bring a -remunerative price. Farmers in the New England swould us soon think of doing business . When baby was sick, we gave her Castoria, and the Middle Northern States are proverbial for being thrifty and independent, andthe reason for it is the diversity of their products. Financial panics in the money markets, or a poor crop, may affect but cannot “break”? them. In California farmers generally devote themselves t#the production of some particular crop, and if that fails they are likely to be financially ruined. If the Californian has a grain farm, the chances are ten to one that he has to buy his butter, cheese, vegetables, fruit, and probably beef and pork abroad. His crop being one continual rotation, lessen every year the strength of his soil, and render his farin_less and less valuable. Hlo-takes ull-he can from it and returns absolutely nothing. The sooner the farmers of this State adopt the plan of successful Eastern farmers, and raise a variety of farm products, the better it will be for them and the State at large. oe oeipeeikas Some Solid Advice. “To discontinue an advertisement,”’ says John Wanamaker, the largest advertiser in the’world, ‘‘is like taking down the sign. lf you want to do business, you must let the’ public know it.

Casteria REID'S, DIVIDENDS. the Sigourney Estate. The San Francisco® Call gives the following additional particulars ‘about Judge Reardon’s decision in the wellknown Nevada county case of James Reid against the: Eureka Lake and Yuba Canal Company consolidated, and which was briefly mentioned in this paper yesterday : 0 Since January, 1881, Reid has owned 750 shares of the Eureka Lake stock. He claimed that eince June, 1884, there have been dividends earned and declared amounting to $10,500, but that he has received no part of them. In 1884, it appears, a controversy arose between him and W. W. Cross, as administrator of the estate of T. W. Sigourney, as to who was entitled to the dividends. Cross brought suit in Nevada county against the corporation for $15,000 dividends, and ‘caused Reid to be interpleaded with—Crosi. The latter claimed the stock as assets of the estate, and therefore that=he was entitled to the dividends. But Reid’s claim of ownership as the assignee of F. W. Zellerbach wae found to be good, and judgment in his favor for $15,000 was granted and affir::ed on appeal. Yhe present suit was for dividends subsequently accrued. Judge Reardon decides that the former action is an estoppel, and that the statute had not run when the present action was instituted, it being claimed that: the statute tuted: the defendant’s holding asa trustee into an absolute title. Judgment for $10,500 was rendered in tavor of Reid therefore, _ 2 *@ee ~ Two Good Crops.

Following is the substance of the Supreme Court decision in the Nevada county case of The Champion Mining Company, Piaintiff and Apellant, vs. Consolidated Wyoming! Gold Mining Company, Defendant and Respondent. It settles a number of heretofore disputed points in connection with quartz mining locations: This action was brought to recover damages for alleged trespasses by defendant upon the miaoing claims of ‘plaintiff, and to obtain an injunction against similar trespasses in the future. The answer admits that defendant, by accident, took from plaintiff's claims gold-bearing quartz of the value of $120, but denies.the other material averments of the complaint. The Court below (sitting without a jury) found in favor of defendant ; gave judgment for plaintiff for said $120, but for no more; and denied the prayer for an injunction. Plaintiff appeals from the judgment, and from an order denying a new trial. * * * * * * Each of the parties is a-mining~corporation, and each owns a body of quartz mining claims. The surface ground of each party adjoins that of the other. Inthe ground of. plaintiff there isa quartz ledge called the “Phillip” ledge, and in the ground of defendant there isa ledge called the “Wyoming.” After the respective rights of the parties to these ledges had vested,.it became known, for the’ first. time, that at various levels be eath the. surface, and at an average depth of about five hundred feet,these two ledges (the Phillip and Wyoming) united, and from thence downward formed only one ledge. Defendant, by~ accident or mistake, took $120 worth of quartz out of the Phillip ledge ata point above its junction with the Wyoming, for which judgment was confessed; but the real trespass complained of was that the defendant took gold-bearing quartz out of the united ledge below the junction. And so the main question in the case is, Who owns the united ledge? The rule by which such a question must be determined is stated in Section 2,336, Revised Statutes U. S and is as follows: “Where two or more veins unite, the oldest or prior location shall taxe the vein below the point of junction, including all the space of intersection.’’ * * * * * * The grantors of defendant received a United States patent for the Wyoming ledge (or, at least, for the ground in which the apex and upper part of oi the ledge are situated) on the 19th day of September, 1874. The plaintiff has not a patent for the land in which the Phillip ledge is situated, but holde @ possessory title thereto under general mining customs, and the laws of the United States and of this State upon the subject. (And this latter kind of title.is, of course, as good for the purpose of a suit like the present one, as a patent.) : The defendant, for the purpose of showing a valid location of the Wyoming ledge at certain periods prior to the date of the patent, introduced, against the objections and exceptions of plaintiff, the preliminary papers and proceedings filed and had in the United States Land Office upon which the patent was based." These papers and proceedings, if properly admitted, showed or intended to show, Ist, that the’ Official survey of the Wyoming mine, as afterwards incorporated into the patent was made December 10, 1872. The application fir the patent, which was filed March 8, 1863, stated that the mine was located in 1851 or 1852 by persons then unknown and that, if recorded; the record was destroyed by the fire which burned the Courthouse in Nevada City ‘in 1856; and also, among othier things, that the applicants were in the quiet and actual possession of, and that there had been no opposing or adverse claim to the premises ‘‘for two years last past,” that being the statutory period of limitation for actions relative to mining claims. The Court below seemed to take the view that these proceedings in the land department of the United States constituted an authoritative adjudication of the truth of the statements in the application, which bound ‘the plaintiff. And counsel for defendant strenuously argues that, as the law of Congress provides that actual possession, without any adverse claim during the period of a statutory limitation, gives a right toa patent, and as the. application in question put the right to a patent on that ground,there-’ fore it should be held to have been conclusively adjudicated that the Wyoming claim was located at least two years before the date of application, which would be Mareh 8, 1871, * * With respect to the united ledge which was afterwards discovered to be a union of tle Wyoming and the Phillip, there was nothing in the application for a patent to the Wyoming claim which called for any contest of the owners of the Phillip. The application for the Wyoming claim, if grantted; would result in a patent for only the surface ground claimed, and the ledges whose apexes were within it. If it.should turn out that a ledge within that ground united with another ledge, the property of an adjoining owner, the ownership of the united ledge would have to be determined upon the principle of-priority of location. Moreover, at the time of the Wyoming application and patent, the union of the two ledges at a great depth in the earth was entire y unknown, and not even suspected. The owners_of the Phillip ledge, therefore, with respect to the present claim to the united ledge, would and could not have had 2 J any standing in the Land Department as adverse claimants tothe Wyoming application. It is, therefore, somewhat difficult to see hew the question of priority of location between the Phillip and Wyoming ledges could be adjudicated in a proocegeding in which the location of the Phillip ledge was not, involved at, all;or how ex parte proof, offered in the Wyoming applica: tion for the satisfaction of the United States Government, is admissible .in the case at bar, where the contest is about something not appearing on the face of that application, or involved in that proceeding. If, therefore, the determination of this appeal necessarily depended upon the. correctness df the rulings of the Court below, admitting the proceedings in the Land Office in evidence, we would be strongly. inclined to hold such ruling erroneous. Inthe view which we take on the case, however, itis not necessary_ to pass conclusively upon that question. The Court? below found that there was no validJocation of the Phillip ledge until 1879—avout five years after the issuance of the Wyoming patent. The fiiding is ‘‘that no boundaries of said location (the Phillip) were. ever marked upon the ground so that the same could be readily traced prior to March 26th, 1879.”’ Thisis a’ finding of fact; and, unless it can be successfully attacked as not being supported by the evidence, then it is immaterial whether the admission of evidence to show a location of the Wyoming claim at a date prior to the patent was erroneous or not, For, of course the title of defendant Weuld be good, at least from the date of the patent; and, if at that'time there was no location of the Phillip claim, then the Wyoming must be held to have been the prior location. And us to the sufficiency’ of the evidence to support the finding on this point, -we need only say that we though we were to go far beyond the limits of the rule so often laid down by this Court for the review here, of questions of. fact. There was clear proof of a location of the Phillip claim ou the 25th of March, 1879; and the Court found that there was a location on that day, but that there was none prior to that time. Now to upset this finding it must be affirmatively shown that under the evidence it was the clear duty of the Court, forced upon it by evidence without material conflict; to find a location of’ the Philip claim prior to 1879—and, indeed, prior to 1874—the’ date of the Wyoming patent. But such a proposition is clearly not maintainable. We, ‘of course, will not recite the evidence here ; and it is sufficient to say that if the Court had found the other way it would have done so upon an exceedingly slender basis. * * * = 2. There are two other propositions presented by appellant. The respondent has a patented mine called the Ural; and the appellant claims a ledge in its adjoining ground called the New Years and New Years Extension. And appellant contends that near the southerly end of respondent’s ground, the Ural ledge passes through the side line of the Ural patented ground into the New Years ground—thus making said side line in law an end line. But the Court finds that said line is not an fend line ofthe Ural ledge of respondent, and that there is no sufficient evidence to show where said ledge crosses the lines of the Ural patent. It finds, also, that the location of the Ural mine was prior to that of the New-Years claims of that of the appellant. Moreover, it tinds that respondent has not mined, and does not threaten to mine, any ground claimed by appellant, except the united ledge formed by the junction of the Phillip and the Wyoming as above stated. And these findings are sustained by evidence. There is, therefore, no basis here for an injunction or damages. 3.At the northern end of the Wyoming patented ground there is another patented claim called the Schmidt rclaim;~owned by the Nevada City Mining Company. And appellant contends that the north line of the one was not identical wtth the south’ line of the other; that is, that between the north line of the Wyoming, as. patented, and the south ‘line of the Schmidt,. as patented, there was a small’ piece of ground not included within the lines of either patent; and that, therefore, the respondent would not be entitled, as against the owners of the Phillip, to follow the Wyoming ledge whder this piece of land, or to the united ledge if found there. But the Court found upon sufficient evidence that the Wyoming and Schmidt locations were both long prior to that of the Phillip; that they always adjoined each other: on the north and south ; that thesouthwest lineof the Schmidt patent was for a long distance identical with the north line of the Wyoming patent; and that, where these two lines were thus identical, the Wyoming ledge crosses over the Wyoming patented ground into the Schmidt patented ground, leaving no intermediate ground between the two claims. This undoubtedly gave to the owners of the Wyoming and Schmidt claims the entire ownership of the ledge from the northerly end of the one to the southerly end of the other, with the exclusive right to follow its dips and angles laterally, It appears that at a point a considerable distance easterly of the point where the ledge crosses the line common to the Wyoming and the Schmidt as aforesaid, the northerly patented line of the Wyoming, and the southerly patented line of the Schmidt, diverge, leaving a small triangular piece of around between; and the two companies by agreement divided this piece of land—or, rather, the right to work the ledge under it—between them. This they had the right to do, as against any third party subsequent in location. From a thorough examination of the whole case we find -no reason to disturb the judgment of the Court belcw. Judgment and order affirmed. could not disturb that . finding even [ PERSONAL MENTION. ‘Socialand Other Notes About People Old and Young. Mrs. W. P. Sowden is quite ill.

In the Bartlett péar belt many of the most beautiful shrubs and plants can®* be made to flourish with less labor and less disappointment than in most countries. They do not attract swarms of mosquitoes as they do in many. countries, and they only require slight aid and judicious pruneing to beautify immediately. Plants that linger at the East through years of doubt and uncertainiy her» spring forward in a single season, and at once display a wealth of beauty. Water may -aid them the first year, but even without that they are almost certain to repay the planter. There are the small fruits too that demand, greater attention, and will.repay it. The strawberry should not be a tangled mass of vines, but should be in rows and cultivated. The same may be said of the raspberry, blackberry, gooseberry, and currant.

The Theater was about half filled with people who assembled Wednesday night to witness the representatiou of ‘‘Passion’s Slave.’ Miss Boyd is a great favorite here, and on former visits has genérally been accorded large audiences. Money is just now rather too scarce with a good many people to enable them to spend it for play-going. ‘ The performance of ‘‘Passion’s Slave’’ was in most respects meritorious. Miss Boyd has grown just a little bit stouter than when she made her first bow to a Nevada City audience, but time has not materially aged her features, lessened her grace of movement or dulled her dramatic genius. Indeed, she has more_ power and better methods now than she displayed then. She is-not only a deservedly popular actress, but a shrewd and enterprising business woman. She has accumulated a good-sized fortune and stays on the boards rather for her love of the profession than because she needs more money. Miss Boyd has some exceedingly clever ladies with her.Miss Annie Mifflin, who wins.much admiration wherever she goes,is a State of Nevada girl. She is the daughter of Mrs. Cooper formerly of Austin, who, after the death of Mr. Cooper, wedded Judge Anderson and removed to San Francisco. Miss Robin Merry is a petite bundle of animatién who judging from appearances has seen about sixteen summers. Messrs. Philleo and Hatch ‘are oldtime favorites here. They invariably do good work, and can depend on being warmly received whenever they come. Si Mr. Kohler, Mr. Wallace and Mr. Armstrongare new to this part of. the country.” Messrs. Kohler and Wallace gave’ admirable characterizations Wednesday evening, one asthe deepdyed villian ‘‘Sheply” and the other as the simple-minded ‘‘Golight.’”’ The leading man of the troupe is Mr. Barr, who comes here now, for the first time. As ‘*Manuel Defoe’? he had a splendid Seay to inake a good impression, but Wor some reason he did not appear to care about availing himself of it. Mr. Barr has for a number of years been recognized as,a competent man in the legitimate, and has held prominent places with -both Booth and Barrett. He evident:y does not take kindly to melo-drama, ‘and therefore does not exert himself to make a favorable impression in it. The instrumentations. by Mr. Prince, the pianist, were not the least pleasing features of the performance. He isa ‘player of much more than average skill. Taken as a whole, Miss Boyd has a better company than she has brought here before. Her repertoire is less extensive, and therefore. more ‘attention can be devoted to the details of those plays that are given. “Unknown” was given last evening as a farewell performance. The troupe will be at Grass Valley tonight and tomorrow night. Hard Lines for Theater Goers. Rey. Sam Small,the revivalist, recently preached thus about’ theater going: “No, I don’t think God wil put you in hell for going to the theater. I never said it and I’m never going to say it. 1’m not such a fool. But if you take the vows of the church and then yo, God will put you in hell forlying. Put thatin your-pipe and smoke it. I never heard anybody doubt that God would put you in “hell for perjury. I’ve got the Bible for it, and you watch out, because hell ain’t halfa mile ahead of you.’”’ To stand off Small, such preachers as’ Dr. Talmage, Dr. Lyman Abbott and Dr. ht. A. Holland say they do not see any harm in-going to-the theater to see what is called the legitimate drama. ae igganane suse Hunting For Mr. Hogg. J. T. Hogg of Trenton, Tenth; writes as follows: ‘‘In 1849 my father went to your State, and prior to the civil war I frequently heard from him, but since then have never heard one word: from him.

John Mitten, a Nevada City carpehter, bought a tif y-cent ticket in the last drawing of the Little Lonisiuna Lottery. Shortly after getting it he sold half of the pasteboard to Henry Dorsey, the colored laundry-man, for twenty-five cents. When the San Francisco papers arrived Wednesday evening with the announcement of the winning numbers, Mr. Mitten was mad enough to kick himself. The two coupons he bought had diri#wn 2,500 and the one he sold for 25 cents was worth $1,250. The winnersare poor men, and have families.; Dorsey has close to a dozen children and step-children, and there is not very much difference in their ages. “Mitten has been ‘‘blowing in’? money at the game for two or three years, -but-Dorsey has bought only three of four chances before.

Willham Osborne, a Neyada City teamster, says he guesses he was not born toget rich by investing “in lotteries, He had a tenth ticket in Tuesday’s drawing of the Big Louisiana Lottery, and he came within just one number of winning-a tenth of the capital prize of $150,000. He isentitledto $10 for coming so close to the bullseye, but he does not know whether he ought to condescend to accept it or not. Gee -Wearing Out the Soil. Farmers in the Northern Atlantic States, asa general rule, raise a great variety of farm produce. ‘They do not confine themselves to the raising of one kind of grain, vegetables, poultry, or stock, Even what are termed small farmers, with say eighty or a hundred acres under cultivation, raise as much as they possibly can of everything they can consume on the farm or sell in the market. On these small farms in the Eastern States are produced wheat, oats, barley, buckwheat, corn, potatoes and vegetables of all kinds, besides horses, cattle, sheep agd swine. If one crop fails, others do not. The farmer is not absolutely dependent of success upon any one crop or product.of his farm. Pork may be low, beef may be low, at times, but he has butter, wool, horses to offer in the market—something, at any rate, that will ‘always bring a -remunerative price. Farmers in the New England swould us soon think of doing business . When baby was sick, we gave her Castoria, and the Middle Northern States are proverbial for being thrifty and independent, andthe reason for it is the diversity of their products. Financial panics in the money markets, or a poor crop, may affect but cannot “break”? them. In California farmers generally devote themselves t#the production of some particular crop, and if that fails they are likely to be financially ruined. If the Californian has a grain farm, the chances are ten to one that he has to buy his butter, cheese, vegetables, fruit, and probably beef and pork abroad. His crop being one continual rotation, lessen every year the strength of his soil, and render his farin_less and less valuable. Hlo-takes ull-he can from it and returns absolutely nothing. The sooner the farmers of this State adopt the plan of successful Eastern farmers, and raise a variety of farm products, the better it will be for them and the State at large. oe oeipeeikas Some Solid Advice. “To discontinue an advertisement,”’ says John Wanamaker, the largest advertiser in the’world, ‘‘is like taking down the sign. lf you want to do business, you must let the’ public know it.

Casteria REID'S, DIVIDENDS. the Sigourney Estate. The San Francisco® Call gives the following additional particulars ‘about Judge Reardon’s decision in the wellknown Nevada county case of James Reid against the: Eureka Lake and Yuba Canal Company consolidated, and which was briefly mentioned in this paper yesterday : 0 Since January, 1881, Reid has owned 750 shares of the Eureka Lake stock. He claimed that eince June, 1884, there have been dividends earned and declared amounting to $10,500, but that he has received no part of them. In 1884, it appears, a controversy arose between him and W. W. Cross, as administrator of the estate of T. W. Sigourney, as to who was entitled to the dividends. Cross brought suit in Nevada county against the corporation for $15,000 dividends, and ‘caused Reid to be interpleaded with—Crosi. The latter claimed the stock as assets of the estate, and therefore that=he was entitled to the dividends. But Reid’s claim of ownership as the assignee of F. W. Zellerbach wae found to be good, and judgment in his favor for $15,000 was granted and affir::ed on appeal. Yhe present suit was for dividends subsequently accrued. Judge Reardon decides that the former action is an estoppel, and that the statute had not run when the present action was instituted, it being claimed that: the statute tuted: the defendant’s holding asa trustee into an absolute title. Judgment for $10,500 was rendered in tavor of Reid therefore, _ 2 *@ee ~ Two Good Crops.

The man in going He had to overturn a thousand shects to'tiid a missing page, and every sheet he turned made him madder, until, growing furious, he threw the bundle down and then upturned the very one he wanted. It was the last page, of course. This provoking state of things often occurs in a thousand different ways. Look for anything and among many things it is the last to come to hand. But to those of methodic turn the perplexity seldom comes, .nor to men of observation who closely watch all things there is no confusion or deJay in knowing where to find them. It is so in everything; even in pain and misery. There is scarcely an individual sufferer who strikes the hest thing first.

Why make the best, known as such all the world over, the last tried, meanwhile suffering the acutest agony, when it can be had of every druggist?
