EXTENSIVE SALE.-The Cosmopolitan Cop.
per Mining Company have sold out their claim
at GeneSsee Valley, in this (Pumas) county,
says the Quincy Union, for the sum of one
hundred and fifty thousand dollars, (Sl50,000),
gold coin. The purchasers are Mr.. n. P.
Sheldon and Hon. Chas. w. Tozer, of Virginia
City, Nevada. The amount OF ground sold is
FIVE thousand four hundred feet on the cele,
brated Cosmopolitan vein, and includes the
ground on which the Cosmopolitan Central
Copper Mining Company have Incorporated
one Thousand four hundred feet We have
always looked upon this mine as being equal,
if not superior, to the Union, at Copperopolis,
and prophecy that its owners will hold its
stock at Gould 4 Curry prices. There are q
thousand fortunes in it. Some of the original
owners have made very comfortable home
stake, but We think the fortune 10 the mine is
largely in advance of the price paid We
confidently expect that before two years shall
pass away, the copper interest 10 Pumas will
double the present taxable property of the
county. We believe this to be the largest
sale OF property ever effected iu this county.
aud cordially hope the enterprisiug purchasers
may succeed to the utmost of their expecta.

GooD FOR OFFICE SEEKERs.-The Trinity
Journal has few timely words for the benefit
of those politicians who have been selling their
principles, if they ever had any, for the pur-
pose of securing office, whereby they might
get living without work. 1t says:
The history of the past few months teaches
that there is something in the machinery of our
Government that tempts men from an honest
course to the pursuance of an opposite one.
What is that defect? 1t strikes US very forci.
bly, that the temptation lies in the falness OF
our Offices, many of which enables the incum,
bent not only to make fortune to himself in a
term Of one or two years, but to support a
host of professional political trcksters and
hangers on, TO whom be is under obligations
for his positions. Then the temptation TO the
pursuance of dishonest courses is in the emolu.
ments contingent upon success. Take away
the profits OF crime, and crime ceases, lust as
sure as water finds its level Reduce the fat.
ness of the offices and the strife to possess them
will cease. Reduce the emolumeats of all our
State and county offices 10 such standard as
will barely pay the incumbents an economical
living, and the glorious millennium, when the
office will hunt the man, will be upon u.s. and
honesty will rise to par, for once the office goes
hunting 1t will find taker 10 some one who
will discharge lis duties not for profit, not for
stealings, but because be owes it to his fellow
citizens and to his country to faithfully dis.
charge the functions they or it may impose
upon him.
The tax payers Of every county in the State
are in favor of reduction of salaries to a
reasonable compensation Let US have salaries
reduced to a scale that men will not sell their
principles for fat Office.
