FELL sTEwARrs HONEST MINER ;


 These words were, and are still, familiar to every man who resided in Nevada any time from 1860 to 1865. A short history of this character and his political status may be com prehended bya few briefsentences. William II. Stewart, young lawyer from the interior of California, emigrated to Carson Valley early in 1860. Things were then very rough. Law was scarce and so was grub. Stewart was casting about to be "put in" by some of the thousand and one then locating leads. He wanted an "honest miner" At last he struck him. He (the honest) came from Hambug Gulch, California, in 1859, and had located three hundred and sixty-five leads, between Carson and Virginia cities distance about seventeen miles. Well, how to get at these 3G5 was the great question. At length it was settled. Every one of these mines were to be claimed by outsiders, and suits instituted for;hwith-Bill defending his poor honest miner, and winning the first one hun dred cases, at half interest in them for his services.
 By this time it became very generally known and believed that Bill Stewart owned all the Courts and packed all the Juries in the Ter ritory. Law was plenty and so were feet. It was all one way. The honest miner was congratulated every hour on the favorable termination of his suits, and told his lawyer was the greatest man of the age, and most liberal. Both had become rich-One in feet, the other in hard cash-through an agent in San Francisco who sold feet for commission.
 Thus stood matters in l6Gl-2 The lawyer was rich-bult palace on the eastern slope of Mount Davidson, near to and in plain view of tbe great Gould < Curry, Ophir, &c. &c. The honest miner was being shaken by the hand by all the law fraternity. The Courts were reported as owned and controlled by the great lawyer $. Honest Hezekiah Smart, (for that was the name of our hero miner from IIumbug Gulcl) began to reckon his millions, and the people said he was smart 60 was Stewart-sInart enough not to try any more causes for his honest client. Tine truth was. a man had about this time, arrived from the North and been appointed Judge of the leading court in the Territory. Simultaneous with this movement it was proposed to make

DIREcToRY.-Mr Henry c. Langley is about to publish a Pacific Coast Business Di- rectory. Such a work is needed, and 1t would be difficult, if not impossible, to find a more competent person than Mr. L. to prepare it. The State Register and the San Francisco Directory arc enduring monume~ts of his in uus,sy aifa accuracy. The able and correct manner in which this new work will be com piled will cause it to supercede the Guide Book,of the Pacific" published by Sterling NJ. Hodredge < Co., which is very deficient in matters relating to the southern portion of California. This Pacific Coast Business Di- rectory will be an excellent advertising me- dium, as copies will be placed on board the different steamers on this Coast, and in the principal Hotels and public houses through out California, Oregon, Nevada, and the Ter ritories of Washington, Idaho, Montana and Utah. Copies will also be forwarded to South America, the Sandwich Islands, Aus traiia, East indies, and the principal ports on the Pacific.
