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

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. Signed,
