1GNoRANCE.-The Legislature of Nevada. at
its late session, passed an act regulating the
location and possession of mining claims for
that State, which We intend to publish. The
Territorial Legislature of Arizona has also
passed similar LAW, which was publish, d in
our issue of December oath, 1864 With
these exceptions, We believe no other State
or Territory has enacted any such law. In
all other States and Territories the miners in

and National, respect these laws.-fS. F.

The above is a specimen of the character
of information to be obtained from the So
called mining journals of San Francisco.
Idaho has had mining law on its statute
books for more than three years, and the
latest of the laws passed on that subject has
been published by every newspaper in the
Territory, BY several papers in Oregon and
California, and even in New York-but the
