Small POx at tIbs Bay--vacclnatIon.


The Pacific Medical Journal, published
at San Francisco, has The following in re-
lation to the small pox 10 that city, and the
protective influence of vaccination.
In the absence Of all direct data on the
subject, ii is difficult 10 form an opinion as
to the number Of cases, bot from oil we can
learn from our professional brethren, we
are inclined to think that the cases in the
city. at one time, have never exceeded 1850
or 200, and probably not so many, as this
number would give one case to every z50
or 500 inhabitants, and had the disease ex-
existed to that extent, we think we should
have heard more Of IT, We are only sur.
prised that IL has not spread more, as the
result OF our re-vaccnati0ns shows that at
least per cent. of the population are Ia a
condition to tvke The disease. as In this pro-
portion have our cases OF re-vaccination
shown themselves susceptible to the vaccine
virus. 1t is probable that, owing to the
mild character of The disease, ii is not so
contagious as when 1t is mere severe. The
epidemic will, most likely, soen die out for
want of subjects, an attention Is now being
very generally given to re-vaccinatiOn.
In regard to the protective influence of
vaccination, statements have been publish
ed in the newspapers, which would tend to
show that ii does not extend beyond Two or
three years. This is certainly going from
one extreme to the other. Although the
continued immunity that was supposed to
be afforded by 9 single vaccination from
smallpox is an error, Il Is no lees erroneous
to assert 4bat the operation requires TO be
performed every second or third year. We
consider that, as a general rule, re-vaccina-
tiOn at intervals of seven years, up to'the
age of 35, will afford fair average protec-
ton from smallpox; or, should the protec-
ton not be absolute, the disease will be
rendered so mild as TO be almost harmless.
The statistics afforded ihrough long Sc
ries of years, at the London Smallpox
Hospital, show that but few patients under
10 years of age have been received with
smallpox after vaccination. After 10 years
the numbers increase considerably, The lar
gest number of admissions being between
.he age Of l5 and rs, and, although pro-
gressively diminishing, they continue rath-
er large up to 30; from 80 to 30 they are
nearly the same as from 10 to Is. After
IS the cases go on diminishing, but the pro-
portional mortality is much greater-the
disease appearing in a worse form the more
the protective influence OF infant vaccina-
tion has been exhausted by the lapse Of
time.

INDIAN DIFFICULTIES ANTICIPATED IN HoN.
EY LAKE VALLEY.-The Virginia City En-.
terprise has the following:
A gentleman who arrived at Virginia
City on March 23d reports q murder which
had been committed at Deep Hole Springs.
some so milss east of Honey Lake Valley,
on the emigrant road. which is supposed 10
have been the work of Indians. A man
named Bear keeps the station, and had in
his employ young man who had recently
crossed the plains Bear was called 10
Honey Lake on business, and lett the young
man alone at the ranch. A traveller from
the Humboldt arrived at the station and
found it deserted, and ell the stores and
provisions gone. On reaching Honey Lake
be told Bear that he thought bis hired man
had stolen his goods and run away; but he
could not be made to suspicion the integri.
ty of the young man, and party immedi-
ately returned and instituted a search
about The premises. The bO iy of the young
man was found in the spring-which. as the
name indicates. is very deep--in which IL
had been sunk. but had subsequently, risen
to the surface. The head of the murdered
man had been split open, apparently with
an ak. All of the stores at the station bad
been stolen together with horse. Our
informant says the Inhabitants of this Sec
tiOh do not entertain doHbt but that it
was The work of Indians. Much apprehen-
sion exists in that region regarding the in-

Placer and quarts Mining.

The Virginia City Enterprise, In an arti-
Gle on quartz and placer mining countries,
says OF The mines 10 that Territory:
In this Territory we have no placer dig
gings, and oil our gold and silver can only
be obtained by the practice of patience in
prospecting for The ledge, and the expendi-
ture OF o large amount Of money, before
any results are shown. In many instances
the ledge when fully opened out proves un-
profitable TO work at the present expensive
rates for extracting The ores. Then again,
we have large companies, with we'll devel-
oped and valuable mines which are turning
out their tens of thousands of dollars every
month, but the shareholders have failed to
experience The delights of sharing them in
The shape of dividends. Other companies,
with equally as rich mines, are constantly
drawing upon their shareho holders for asses
ments, which many fail, or are unable to
pay up, and therefore are compelled TO lose
their property or dispose OF u at sacrifice.
There are also scores Of wildcat claims and
companies which have been purchased by
eager to-be-riCh specuIators,whO have found
out that as 1t is not oil gold that glitters,
neither are all Washoe mines OF the like
value as Gold Hill. or the Ophir. 10 speak,
ing OF the wealth of this Territory we are
apt to overlook the fact that it is 10 its in
fancy; for gigantic as has been the progress
we have made in material prosperity during
the time that has elapsed since Washoe first
started inso existence, yet it is but 1.-THE,
the smallest fraction, of what we have ev-
cry reasoa to expect win be our advance in
wealth in the next few years The ledges
now being prospeeted will be developed in.
to many an Ophir 10 richness. The COM
panies now extracting the metals, and yield
ing returns, but no dividends to sharehold-
ers, will have made all the necessary inn
provemeBts aud openings for more thor
oughly working their mines, and then the
profits viii be large aud the dividends hand
some. The assessment companies will have
got to work. and those unwelcome calls will
be forgotten IN the Frightening prospects of
the future, and last of all, wildcat claims
will have ceased TO exist With our mines
and mineral wealth, the future points to
time of unparalleled prosperity, when pla-
Ger mining countries will have long since
ceased to produce The precious metals, and
become unknown as gold countries.
