Darmg a on versa! ion bad with one of oat prominent and best infoimed fatmers. rvNarclsse La rout, we learned moch co-- ernlng the grain prospects of the county for the couinir harvest. He states ihat there lias beea more thanotir fourth inoreac eage -sown, and the prospect now is the yield to the acre will be one-third greater than last Jiar if there Is a change in the weather. Ho lias some fee rs of the continuance of the present damp weather, which has alrea ly damaged wheat .erv ma trial It in acme places especially that wan Ust. Fall. In some fields the tall-sown irrain is turning yellow, and whenever this is the case no grain is found in the heads. Ten days warm weather are i ow needed, and if ilev come het will barvert at the rate of thin ty-five to forty buHhelg to the acre. The yield of oats and barley this year b- puts at lrom forty-five to sixty bushels to the acre. Poor Old Man. There wis a sad scene in the County "Court room on Thursday.'

CANYON ROAD DECISION, A correspondent at Can yon villa asks for particulars as to the late decision of Hon. J. F. Wataon in the Canyon road casa. In answer we give the findings of Judge Wat son. Plaintiffs were Willis and Abraham, and defendants Fink and Gazley. The findings wen aa follows ; 1. That the road was at the time of the incorporation by plaintiff and atill ia a pub lio highway by prasaription. - 2. Plaintiff had the right to survey and locate the line and route of its road without first making aa agreement with the oonnty court, but not to erect a toll gate without first obtaining agreement from the court. IL That by iu entry, survey and loca tion plaintiff secured an : absolute vested right to the road, subject only to the quali fication aa to the agreement with the coun ty court with regard to maintaining a toll gate. 4. After such entry, survey and location no other corporation could acquire a right to locate or app.opriato the road. o. After plaintiff bad thus acquired tnia vested right, the Coonty Court had no right to and could not enter into a valid agreement with any corporation subeqnmt ly formed by which such corporation could be preferred to plaintiff, and by which plaintiff oould be deprived of the benefits of ita prior location. B The agreement set forth in the 14th finding of fact was and is so far as it inter feres with the rights of plaintiff, unauthor ized by law and void. . 7.' The - agreement made between the plaintiff and the Cou ity Court and set forth in the 11th finding herein wa a valid and binding agreement, and that plaintiff thereby acquired the right to erect and maintain ita toll gate described in the plead ings, and to oollect and receive at said toll gate the tolls from tbs travel upon said toad. - 8. That thj Douglas County Road Com pany at the time of its erection and anain tai nance of the toll "gate by defends ta al leged in the complaint, had no right to erect or maintain said toll gate or interfere with the collection of the tolla upon said road by plaintiff. 9. That the fact that defendants were the officers and employees of the Douglas Oonn ty Road Company, constitutes no justifica tion or defence for the dufentacta. 10. That plaintiff is entitled to have and recover judgment for the ram of $200, together with its costs and disbursements in this action. MINING DISCOVERIES. Ed. Independent : We wish to com mnnicale through the eolumns of your pa per to the public, ard especially to the citizens of Douglas connty, the fact of the existence of inexhaustible wealth riches in the moun.ains south of the county seat both in gold and silver. We say silver and gold because these metals are more sought after than any other metals. We list e made two prospecting toars recently, penetrata Ing the mountains, the object of which was to aFcertain if there really did exist aurifer ous, or other deposits, aa haa been stated ao often. - We are warranted in raying, af ter thorough investigation, that we suc ceeded in discovering an extensive and well defined ledge of marvelous richness in both gold and silver; and we have the word of a citizen in this county, and who is also a competent essayist, to whom we subuiitted the ores which we had discover ed, for the purie of testing, alter a cures ful assay assures ns that the ores are decid-dly superior to any which he had ever tested. We want it understood that the ore tested was the croppings of the ledge we have since discovered, and the assayist further informs us that he bad assayed ores from nearly til the rcminent mines on the Pacific Coast, among which were ores from the famous Coin stock, and'these ores of this county, which were subjected by him to an analytical assay, were mostly richer in gold and silver. ; In our second trip to the mount ins we made a thorough and satisfactory invi-stigaii hi of the lede and are now prepared to say that we followed it for a mile or more and at all the croppings. which we rrefull examin ed, we found the ore uniformly rich And n w, Mr. Editor, as ibis article is extended too L'er than we intended, we will trtmply say that at the proper time the public shall have the full benefit f these discover es, but the locality we withhold for reasons best knowu to ourselves.
