FRAZER RIVER GoLD.-The s. F. Prices Current
paper very correct in its statistics, says that
the deposites at the Mint Of Fraser river gold,
from May 18th to November 18th were, before
melting, 1902 Sc ounces; after melting, 1888
Sc; loss in melting, 5000 ounces, being 8.35
per cent, which is 5.l4 per cent more than the
loss on California gold. The total value of
the gold deposited was STAG. .3sO.35. The S. F.
Herald says that from the information obtaina-
BILE, the amount of gold that has reached San
Francisco from Fraser river is $425, 900. This
must include the coin, which, as it necessarily
went from California, should not be included.
The Call says that the receipts of gold from
Fraser will not exceed $3.50, 900 at most. Sup
posing there were 10000 gold seekers, this
would give IS to the man, from which, if we
deduct probable expenses, say 500 to the ad-
venturcr, we should have . net loss Of $95
each, or an aggregate loss Of $2,s6O.OOo.

NEVADA, WEDNESDAY, NOV. "a, 1858.

LEcoMrroN QUARTZ LrAD.-Two hundred tons
of rock taken from this lead, the crushing Of
which was completed ct the Oriental Mill, last
week, turned out little over thirty dollars
ton. This, we believe Is the lowest rate real
lied from any one lot of rock out Of that lead.
There are several quartz leads in this county
which pay better than the Lecompton, but the
latter, in consequence Of it's size and location,
IL one OF the most valuable. 1t is so situated
that Eve tunnels have been run to the vein, one
over the other, and oil are above the water lev
el From these tunnels the workmen are ena-
bled to quarry from ten to fifteen tons daily.
The cost of quarrying, hauling and crushing
the rock, is thirteen dollars ton; and If we
estimate the yield at thirty dollars. and the
amount taken out daily at ten tons, the lead is
paying its proprietors net profit Of sl1o day
There is every reason to believe that for the
next few years the profits from the working Of
this lead will exceed rather than fall below the
amount above stated.

Crrr ORDINANcEs.-The ordinances Of tht
city have recently been published in pamphle
form, and parties desirous of making them
selves acquainted with their provisions, can
procure copies by calling on Mr.. Hanson. the
Clerk of the Board of Trustees. We notice
that number of buildings have recently been
erected, without chimneys, and probably many
new comers are not aware of the existance of
an ordinance requiring brick chimneys to be
built in houses where stoves are used. The or
dinance requiring the proprietor or occupant
of each house to keep on hand barrel Of wa
ter, to be used in case of hre, we believe Is also
very generally neglected.

The SUFFER- TTTLE.-A decision was rendered
by the Supreme Court last week. confirming the
Sutter title to the land on which Sacramento is
built. The title has now been confirmed by all
the Courts of California. by the Land Commits.
sioners, and by the U. S. District Court. The
case is now before the Supreme Court of the
United States for final adjudication, and there
is not much doubt but that Suffers title will
also be confirmed by that tribunal. The de-
cisicn of our Supreme Court was rendered by
Judge Field and concurred in by Judge Bald
win. The arguments in support of the Sutter
title are presented In strong and convincing
light,

AN IMMENSE DELINQUENT LIsT.-The deln-
quent tax list Of San Francisco was issued on
Saturday last, from the office of the Daily
Tines. 1t is the largest single advertisement
ever published on the Pacific coast, containing
as it does sixty-four newspaper columns in
fine type, and over half million of ems. The
composition alone would keep one man employ.

done In four days. 1t is certainly Credtable

fice 1t is stated that over half of the taxes of
San Francisco county are unpaid,

SURPRISE PARrY.-The "institutions" recently
invented in the fashionable world, known as
"surprise parties" have been inaugurated at
Nevada. On Saturday evening last, lady
concluded to spend the evening with friend
She returned home at an early hour, and the
reader can imagine that she was somewhat as
tonished to find her house filed with uninvited
guests, table 'loaded with all the varieties OF
the Market" and band in waiting to dis,
course sweet music. 1t is needless TO say that
the intrusive guests soon succeeded in making
the lady and gentleman Of the house feel per
fectly at home, and that the evening passed oil
pleasantly. AS first attempt to introduce
new fashion, the party, is considered decided
success.

LOWER CALIFoRNIA.-Th Los Angeles Vine
yard, of q recent date, has the following items
of news from Lower California:
General Castro, Governor of Lower Califor-
MIA, sentenced another outlaw to be shot few
days ago. The crime was the murder of citi-
zen of Santo Tomas
The death of Don Jose Pals is also reported.
He was one of the old and wealthy citizens OF
Santo Tomas, always very much respected, du-
ring long and useful life.
The Padre Of Santo Tomas has been doing q
lively business in the matrimonial way recently
having married fourteen couple in almost as

The large amount of news received by the mail

double sheet in order to give their readers the
intelligence at the earliest period. There is
not paper in the State that can compete with
the Union for news it comes up precisely to
Jonathan Sticks idea of a good paper, by pub
fishing every thing worth reading from all the
other papers. 1t has, besides, the best location
in the State to obtain large circulation. as it

THE WINE CRor.-The Los Ans seles Vineyard
says that Don Luis Sainsevain closed his vim
tage on the 9th instant. The vineyard of Mr..
S. covers forty acres of ground, and has 40. 900
vines. The product of this vineyard has been,
this season. 81 900 gallons of white wine, 5000
gallons of red wine, 5000 gallons of angelica,
and 5000 of brandy-in ALL $4,000 gallons.
To make one gallon Of brandy requires five
gallons of wine; and for each gallon of angelica,
about fifteen pints of wine. This will make the
produce OF the vineyard equal to about 65 900
gallons of wine, and more than six quarts of
wine to the vine.

The action of the U. s. Government officials,
in endeavoring to get possession OF the New
Almaden quicksilver mines has excited eonsid-
erable interest among miners The proeeed-
iuSs before the U. s. District Court at San
Francisco thus far, cannot be regarded In any
other light than as hint to the miners that
the general government intends to assert its
ownership to, and exercise control over, the
gold aud other mines OF the State. How else
can we account for the action Of the govern
ment oficialsi Congress has not passed any
act making II the duty of the administration to
take possession of the quicksilver mines located
upon government land; and admitting that the
New Almaden Mine is upon land owned by go
vernment, the claimants Of that mine stand in
the same relation towards the government as
do the claimants Of quartz leads. 1t is not o

the mine is located for whica the government

Court have already decided that the mine be-
longs to the United States. The case will, ol

enjoined by order Of the Court, on the applica
tion of the U. S. District Attorney.

an extravagant estimate of its value; but whe'
ther 1t is worth ten millions or one thousand

What security will quartz miners then have
that suits will not be Immediately commenced
by the government for possession of the more
valuable quartz veins? The suit would no
certainly have been commenced by the o. >
officials in California unless they had received
instructions to that effect from the authorities
at Washington. The object of those instruc
tions we can only conjecture, but as far as WI
are now able to Judge the proceedings look lik
an entering wedge for the government to ge
possession of the mines Of the State. Should
suit be commenced by the government for th
possession of valuable quartz vein. the de
cision of the Court in the New Almaden cas-
would at once be cited in support of the gov
ernment claim; and in fact no other authorit,
would be needed to dispossess the claimants

THE New YORK PoLrTIcIANs-It seems there
is small quantity Of consistency yet left
among the New York politicians. AT meet
ing Of the Tammany General Committee, re-
Gently, Mr.. May introduced u series of resolu-
tions denounoing Douglas, and expressing an
approval Of the acts of the administration. The
resolutions were laid on the table. The New
York Nsps, the principal administration organ
of the city, in commenting on the action of the
Committee. says:
at is estimated that the enc huudIed and
ten members of this Tammany General Com
mittee are receipt Of official salaries aud com
pensation equal to from seven hundred aud hf-
ty thousand to one million of dollars per an-
mum! And yet. even as we'll paid as this by
the Democratic party, they will not stand up in
an emergency like the present. to denounce the
treason aud detection of Stephen A. Douglas
aud sustain James Buchanan!"
Taking the lowest OF the above estimates, and
the members of that Committee are each 10 re-
ceipt of salary of about $4,000 per annum
from the government; and strange to say. politi-
clans as they are prefer TO run the risk of losing
their salaries ra ther than adopt eeries Of res
outions which they do not approve! We have
fallen upon evil times, surely, when the admin
stration is not able to control one hundred and
ten politicians, with such solid inducements
to back its arguments. II is barely pos
sible, however, that those politicians are no.
quite so disinterested as their acts would make
them appear. They have no idea of releasing
their hold of the public teat at the close of Mr..
Buchanan's term and such being tae case, it
would be the height of folly in them to denouce
Douglas, who of all men, stands the best chance
of being Mr.. Buchanan's successor. They are
altogether too shrewd not to see that the star
of Douglas will soon be in the zenith,

THE NOVEMBER EI.ECTIoNs.-In our next is
sue we hope to be enabled to chronicle the re-
suit of the elections held in Illinois. New York
and other States. on the I'd of this month
There is good reason to believe that the No
vember elections were less disastrous to the
Democratic party than the elections held in
October. In New York, the opposition being
divided into three parties, the Democracy cal
cuate on an easy victory, so far as the State
ticket is concerned; but in most of the districts
the opposition having united on candidates for
Congress; it is not probable that the Democrats
will make any gains in the Congressional dele
gation-which in the present Congress stands
IL Democrats to 21 Republicans. In Illinois,
the agents of the administration have put for
ward candidates in five Of the Congressional
districts, for the purpose Of defeating the Dem
ocratic candidates. One Of these puppets, Le-
roy of the Sd district, had withdrawn, and pos
sibly the others withdrew day or two before
the election. If they remained in the field un-
til the day Of election the Democracy will be
likely to lose two or three Congressman from
that State. The greatest interest, however, has
been excited in regard to the political complex
ion of the Legislature, as upon that depends
the election of U. S. Senator. 1t has been
stated on good authority that every Democrat
ic member who can possibly be elected will be
friend of Douglas; but the administration
men have been instructed to vote for the Re-
publican candidates where they are not strong
enough to run candidates of their own, and
should any considerable number of them follow
this instruction they will without doubt succeed
in defeating Douglas. The main contest, where
the greatest exertion was being made, was il
the central portion of the State, where the two
parties were nearly equally divided. The elec
tions in New York, Illinois and New Jersey
will determine the political character of thu
next House of Repr esentatives. The probable
ity is that the Democrats will have small ma
jority in that body.
