The hearing of the case of Ker a's. Beer Brothers, an action brought by contractor Ker to recover the sum of $135, the amount deducted by Beer Brothers for demurrage upon the erection of the addition to the old Houston-Bigclow block, occupied the attention of the court yesterday from 10 o'clock in the forenoon till 10:30 in the eA'euing. The defendants in the action put in a counter claim of $500 for demurrage, or in the CA'ent of the contract not being considered binding, of a claim of $107.50 for loss of rents. The case was tried before judge Forin and a jury comprised of A. H. Clements, J. Neelands, Fred. J. Squire, A. E. Lott and S. V. Campbell S. S. Taylor, Q. C, Avho conducted the case for Ker, established that there Avas no contract, the same not having been signed by the Beer Brothers He also shoAved that the defendants had not giveu the contractor possession of the premises until thirty days had elapsed after the time specified in the draft agreement, and contended therefore that the defeudands Avere not entitled to retain demurrage. Judge Forin in presenting the case to the jurors said that the practice of the court Avtis to set itself against penalties as such, and to do justice as betAA'een man and man. The contract betAveen tae jjarties could only be useful as a reference. The question AA'hich the jurors had to decide Avas how far the Beer Brothers Avere to blame for the delays AA'liich prevented contractor Ker from proceeding AA'ith the Avork of erecting the building in question. The OAvners AA'ere to haA'e giA'en the contractors possession on July 6th. It rested for the jurors to say AA'hether, not being gi\\ren possession on that date, the contractor could be expected to begin Avork before the lines and levels AA'ere furnished him. The jurors Avould also determine, AA'hether the circumstances that the contractor Avas not giA'en possession on the date agreed did .not compeihim toTpAVprk at _a -n ua U_P oP **-J.n J, ��� a, Ji UpD.,- ��� SI' �� ��d _ ' n\" n ���' \"fl\" --Oi.?,1lnn \" n P&-& f- (J;) 'iBsm^ .-many* :days>\"d.^layf4vere, _th_$ ; oAvneiB responsible .for*on.aceoi\\ntpoJc not�� jhi.vang^exea^\\ated.ffandj,:hayn)giwthe o_.C5VnCI.O X .lll_\" ���D p���n_ii_ \"pf n ij ��-**1.n0.'* ip m1^ _, �� % [ft,'.

The above is from The Economist, and is a fair specimen of the misleading statements that from time to time appear iu The Economist and The Miner, the tAvo organs of the present city council. According to the aboA'e, OA'er 150 new. connections AA'ith the AArater mains haA'e been made since January 1st, and that there AA'ill be a total of over SOO connections by next spring. At no time last Avinter Avas there an insufficient supply'of water running in Anderson creek; but there Avasan inefficient creAA' in .charge, of the water Avorks system. There has not been 150 iioav connections made this year, and no better evidence is needed to disprove the statement than the receipts from Avater rates. That the number of connections Avill be SOO by next spring is simply absurd, for- the gas AA'orks and the electric traimvay combined Avill not increase the present number of householders a quarter of one per cent.

It is the liand that has made the Transvaal preeminent among gold producers, and its possibilities are not yet fathomed. The reefs haA'e been found to a depth of 2500 feet and the structure of the country seems to shew that they continue to a great depth. The fact that the ore is phenomenally uniform foi- a gold deposit gi\\'es A'alue, Avithin curiam limits, to tin; computations as to the quantity of the metal that may be obtained, o The mining engineers in the \"Rand are confident that the ore may be profitably AA'orked to a depth of 5000 feet. The total gold production of the world in the four centuries after the discoA'ery of America was about !)22() million dollars. It is accordingly believed, on the best information now attainable, that the accessible gold in a narrow strip of land in South Africa, comprising about one hundred square miles, is approximately equal to a third of the Avorld's entire product for four hundred years. After the enormous results already achieved in the liand, it is interesting to recall Iioav little the conglomerate or FULL LINE OF Front Doors Inside Doors Screen Doors Windows Inside Finish local and coast.
