BOGUS GOLD MIR. Pa 70. of PAGE. Ba

BoaUs GOLD MIR Paso, of Page, Ba-
con & Cos Banking House, showed us
some bogus gold yesterday, which was
brought into their establishment by Il
trader. The trader was so suspicious of
it, that he kept it separate from his 9TH
dust. Mixed with the spurious was q
portion of genuine, and nothing but the
peculiar lustre of the bogus specimens
served to distinguish them. In form,
weight and malleability, they seemed
to vie with the pure specimens They
were undoubtedly made of greatly de-
Perforated gold and galvonzel. BY this
species of bogus, the manuf. c,urers had
succeeded probably in making about
fifty per cent. Nothing but careful!
and scrutinizing observation would de-
tect this system of cheating; and We
would warn mn to be exceedingly care
ful how they use gold dust as curren-
cy at the present time. Unless we arc
speedily afforded branch mint. we be-
lieve that scores, if not hundreds and
thousands of men, will be made the VIC
Tins of this species of villany Union.

Quartz MINERS CoNvENrIoN.-It
would bo an excellent movement for
those interested in quartz veins in this
county to assemble in convention at an
early day, and fix some regulations
for the government Of this species Of mi
ming. The principle guarantee for
those who count on profit from quartz Or
other mining ut present, is in the genor-
al consent Of the community to fair and
equitable rules, and the Legislature, in
absence Of any statutary provisions for
the regulations Of miners, has made de-
csions in the courts dependent on the
custom in the neighborhood in which n
suit may be instituted. There is con
siderable dissimilarity at present exist
ing between the customs of various part.
Of the country in reference to quartz
mining, and as this interest is every day
growing in Importance, it will be well,
before it becomes more complicated to
ascertain what are the best laws for it,
regulation, and under what conditions
claims may be held or worked.
We do not believe in er post fdetO laws,
or that the dictate Of convention as
sembling to-day can be used to infringe
rights previously acquired. Neither dc
we believe that claims may be extended
beyond their previously ascertained lim-
its, where the ground around them has
been taken by other parties, or brought
down to limits prescribed by the con.
vention, if general consent in the neigh.
borhood of the claims has been given to
their original size. But the convention
should say how large claims shall be il
located in future, and what the rights oil
discovsrers shall lie.
Another subject that should receive
the attention of such convention, i.
the question Of the disposal Of the mine
raj lands. In quartz mining, especially,
If in any, n guarantee is needed, farther
than public faith, for the security of ii,
tie to the ground claimed-as the ex.
pense Of the introduction of machinery
is so heavy. We believe in the entire
freedom Of the mineral lands-that the '
are the heritage of American citizens,
native and adopted, and should not be
fettered in devolopement by any med.
ding system Of legislation. And we be.
lieve that public faith is sufficient
guarantee for those holding claims. -
But We are anxious for a public expires.
sion Of opinion on this subject that may
speak to the halls of legislature, and
give direction to any action Congress
may take in this matter. The move

governed by the best information they
can obtain of the opinion of the citizens
Of this state on the subject and there is

BULL FIGHT ACCIDENT During the
ball and bear fight last Sabbath after
noon, when the new amphtheatre was
crowded with a throng of some one
thousand persons, part of it gave way,
containing one or two hundred, and fell
with it's human load to the ground, from
twelve to twenty feet below. The
crash was trome nduous and it is a mi
racle that no loss Of life occurred A
report indeed obtained currency that
several persons were killed outright, but
it was an error. We are informed that
some had their logs broken and were
otherwise bruised, but we were not on
the ground, and have learned no names
of persons thus injured, and the proprie-
tors assure Us that even this extent of
injury was not suffered.
We trust this will put n stop to bull
fighting. 1t is a practice vitiating to
public morals and tastes, frequently
productive Of accident, and prohibited
by municipal law--although this latter
has never been enforced. The pleasure
a set Of ciriieed beings can find in wit
Messing the forced conflict of animals,
whose instincts even prompt them to
avoid each other rather than engage in
the expected fight, is of that base sort
which the savage feels when he dances
round the stake of his victim, and lux
uriates in his agonies.
A mcrciful Providence has averted
consequences frightful to contemplate,
in the accident of last Lbath and we
hope warning so plainly communicated
by this circumstance may not be lost on
the community.
Rational amusement is needed in eve.
ry community, and wc are not cynical
enough to wish to discourage it in this
city, Now we make is as ricndly
hint, and We desire it 70 be taken ,s

Thursday Morning, Oct. %.
Quartz Mills,

We publ, h be'ow q list Of the quartz
mills now in operation, and those in
process Of erection within few miles
Of Nevada. 1t shows a great degree
Of enterprise and energy among our
citizens, and the building up of a per-
manent interest in our midst of the
most promising nature.
We design in short time 10 give
an estimate of the average yield of
quartz so far as worked in this sec
ton, and the degree of richness neccs-
sary, per ton, for safe investment.
The common opinion upon this sub
.iect, especially at n distance from
quartz operations, is much at fault.
We have seen statements in the pa
pcrs below, that quartz paying not
moro than five or eight cents per
pound, under the best system, would
not pay to work. We think we can
show this an error, and that quartz
averaging even rs low as one cent
per pound will yield handsomly with
proper work.
Here is n list of the mills now

NoIcEs OF THE NIGnr. Monday night
last, on Broad Street was made hideous
and unreposable, by combination OF
uproars we trust never to be entertained
with again. Rowdies singing, dogs bar
king, cries Of murder, "take him off,
and watchmen's calls, were q few of tho
ingredients that mixed up in the sleep
less potion tho denzens of this usually
quiet neighborhood were compelled to
take. After the prolonged and indes.
cribable tumult had little subsidized,
about two o'clock in the morning. fel-
low under the influence of delirium tire
mems became possessed Of the idea that
his boots were full of snakes, and was
most clamorous for assistance. Seeing Il
light in Maj OFarrell's store, he first
ran his fist through the window, and
finally knocked down the door. When
some persons came to see what was the
matter with him he took the notion they
were going to kill him and begged for
his life, as he had only robbed four per-
sons, two on the Isthmus, and two in
California, since he left Sydney. He
was conducted to the watch house and
the men in breechcs, men in drawers
men sans cMlotles, and in fancy caps re-
tired from windows and doors, to again
attempt sleep.
