Syllabus

<p>Wobk and Labor — Contract—Term—Certainty. A contract of employment to work in a mine at P. in Alaska during the season of 1911 is not void for indefiniteness or uncertainty as to the time of service, where it appears that there was a well defined mining season at that place, although the season was in a measure dependent upon contingent events.</p> <p>Pleading — Variance. It is not a material variance, within Rem. & Bal. Code, § 299, that the complaint alleged an oral contract of employment to work in a mine in Alaska entered into April 24th, and the proof showed an oral contract prior to that time, and a letter sent to the employee April 24th directing him when to commence work.</p>
