FROM the Humboldt Register, Feb. Gth.J
A SCREW LoosE.-An cdd fish in Echo
writes US, masking some good suggestions as
to evils we all are lAboring under. He recon-
mends, and we second him, that some action
be taken by our delegation in the Legisla-
turc to compel owners to put substantial and
continuous work upon their claims, under
penalty Of forfeiture Of possessory right. He
proposes that no company or individual be
allowed good title for more than one year,
unless work has within that time been con-
menced in good earnest for development
that in default of such work such claim be
subject to relocation; that the relocating
party be allowed six months to commence
systematic work for development; that in de-
fault of the relocators complying, a second
relocation be valid, and three months allow
ed. lie concludes: "As you in Buena Vista
have become State, suppose you take this
matter up; and if your Legislature agree
with me, send the bill to Carson, and perhaps
the horrible body there convened will concur.
! am not in the habit of writing to editors,
and ask you to excuse this first offence; but
consider editors only men, and the public
expects a great deal Of them, and they should
be honest men-though that is hard name
to call man nowadays. We will all take
the Register, MS soon as we get that trail
across the mountains to your State Of Buena
Vista"

A1,p.u1 Drsrprcr.-Gentlemc lust in
from this district report yery fayorably of
this portion of our county. The +" "Alabama"
ledge promises to be one of the finest mines
in the country. 1t is four feet in width, and
exceedingly rich-as ore from the top OF the
ledge paid in San Francisco, where 50 lbs. Of
it was taken, 81, l9S 90 per ton: The oro
Fino" is also ledge OF mineral Of surpris-
ing richness well DEFINED, and IN
proper hands will soon acquire reputation.
Ores in this district are easily reduced, there
being no base minerals to prevent the pro-
cess OF amalgamation. Water powers are
good, and wood can be had for milling pur-
poses at from s. to S6 per c7rd. Ores can
be furnished for several first class mills to
keep them running constantly, at $50 per
ton.
