"MARK Tw AIN" ON MuRDERs.-In his let
ter from Washoe to the Morning CaN "Mark
Twain" the humorous. local ofthe Territorial
Entirprise, says: 1--WE average about four
murders in the first degree a month, in Vir-
gnia, but we never convict anybody. The
murder of Abel by his brother Cain, would
rank as an eminently justifabe homicide up
there in Storey county. When man mere
" attempts to kill another, there, and fails
in his object, our Police Judge handles him
with pitiess severity. He has him instantly
arrested, gives him some good advice, and
requests him to leave the country. This has
been found to have very salutary effect.
The criminal goes home and thinks the mat
ter over profoundly, and conc udes to stay
with u.s. But he feels badIy-he feels very
badly for days and days together"
INTERNAL REVENUE DECISION Rultng
No. 7O.-Boarding houses are not taxable
as hotels. The difference between a board
ing-house and hotel is apparent. AS
general thing, the main point of difference
is, that hotels are open to all who choose to
enter without previous stipulation, expecting
entertainment unless the house is full; while
boarding house is only open to those who,
by previous arrangement have acquired Alright

A PRopnEcY.--The Humboldt Register
thus prophecies: Taking the past as
guide for the future, we can safely predict
that in ten years from this time, Nevada
Territory will have a population of five
millions; her alkali plains will be threaded
with railroads; she will be connected by rail
with the Pacific and Atlantic oceans. Mines,
rich as the Ophir will be successfully worked
in all parts of the Territory; nor will we then
be circumscrbed to the business Of mining
for gold and silver. Our mountains of al
most pure copper will be of value; our
abundance of the best iron ore in the world
will be brought into use, and our acres Of
the purest salt abundant for the use of the
whole world, lying ready to be sacked, will
then find market"

WAsnoE GRANlrK.-There is a great deal
of this material used in buildings in Virginia,
many of the largest fire'proofs having their
window and door slls and cappings, and
and steps formed of it. 1t is very excel
lent material for building purposes-beng
light in color, and much softer than the
granite in California 1t is but little more diff
cult to work than ordinary sandstone, but be-
comes very much harder on exposure. Cor
rectly speaking, it is not a true granite, as it
contains no mlca-its component being
quartz, hornblend and feldspar.

THE COLORADO MINES.


The Los Angeles papers are full of mining
news from the Colorado, etc. We condense
from the Star, Of the 2sth:
This week great many persons, miners
and others, have arrived from the Colorado
country. The report as to the mineral
wealth of the several districts, is uniform
and general. A new district has been
organized, through the discoveries of John
Moss, called Wabayuma, which give promise
of great interest," and our reports from the
other districts are most encouraging. Until
lately, very active operations in the way Of
tunnrling and sinking shafts were being
carried on, and only interrupted by the
scarcity Of provisions and tools.
The want Of ad, quate steamboat accom-.
modation on the Colorado river, is greatly
felt. 1t is reported there is freight lying at
the mouth of the river awaiting transporta.
ton, and also that ore is laid on the banks,
but neither can be forwarded for want of
steam conveyance.
A new town is being located in The dis
trict Of Castle Dome, to be called Mineral
city, up 10 which place there is deep water
at present.
Provisions, tools and feed for animals are
very scarce at present, and in consequence,
work has been partially suspended, but sup
plies will soon be obtained, and then the
work will 90 bravely on again
The News Of the 25th November saws:
Among the recent discoveries in the
Wauba Yuma District is the Florence Lode
gold and silver which, it is stated, fully
equals the Moss Ledge, in the San Francisco
District, for riches
The Moss Companv-those interested in
the discovery grounds of the Moss ledge
have taken out some 5000 pounds of the
rock. which is on the way here for shipment
to San Francisco by .he next steamer. We
have seen numerous specimens from the
Moss" all of which seem to be Of the same
character AS to richness; those from the first
extension also, being at least from sixth
to fourth part pure gold We have had
varied descriptions of the ledge asst above
named. Some of them would seem to he
fabulous, vet erything favors the most
extravagant reports which thus far do not
compare with the story of the gold bullet"
and the report of Lieut.. Maury, for apparent
exageration. We incline to the opinion
that tbs land Of the ''golden bullet' lies
within a scope or circle Of 500 miles in the
direction of the Moss Ledge, or gold noun
tain, as it may yet be found to be. The rock
taken from the above named ledge is soft.
and of bluesh gray colcr: all specimens vet
shown are studded alike with gold through
out. Disinteresed parties, who have seen
~ ledge, report that it is not "spotted or
pocket" ledge--that the vein appears the
same at all points where it has been opened.
The whole may prove to be fable, yet we
find that everybody is anxious to purchase
nst a few feet" in the "Moss," for which
prices have been offered, which, if we were
to give the figures, would again open and
call down upon Us the broad grin" of
scepties, which we have patiently borne SO
long.
The Wauba Yuma District is situated
about 40 miles east of Fort Mohave. It is
now being Thoroughly prospected. Rich
discoveries are said to be the daily result of
labor.
