THIRD HoUsE.-The Assembly cham
Der is likely to be full Of fun, wit and
glowing eloquence thi, evening, on the
occasion Of the first meeting of the
Third House. Parliamentary law is
not supposed to govern the Third
House, and hence everything not parli-
amentary is considered as the rule.
Although not of his political way
of thinking, We would suggest as
tho Slippery Gulch candidate Judge
Hal. Clayton, of Carson, for Speaker.
The Judge has a better idea Of govern
ing such q body in the right style than
any one VIC know of. Jack Wild, Col.
Schamp, Unclo Joe Trench, Elder Glib
son, A. S. 0lin, and several other small
orphan boys, have already applied for
positions rs Pages. Among the Acts
to be introduced is n to bring White
Pine into the white settlements, and an
other to move the Carson Mat to Hike.
There is also some talk Of declaring
Elko the Capital Of the State, and re-
moving the State Prison to Eagon Can
Won /; while Reese River is to DO de-
clared navigable for whalers, and Carson
is to be brought up to Horntown on the
railroad. Chloride Flat is to declared a
sheep pasturc--and . great many
other things will be done tonight BY
the Third House.

SADNESS OF HUNoRIsrs.-0ne of the
anomalies Of literary history is that it
has been the lot of those men who have
contributed largely to the mirth or re-
creation Of others, to endure more than
IN ordinary share of the misery and
want of their own lives. The most en-.
tcrtaining portions of literature have
been written by mon whose hearts have
been bowed down by sorrow, and Mt
moments when that sorrow has been the
heaviest. 1t was in tho gloom of n
mothers death, deepencd by his own
poverty, that johnson pcnned the
charming tale Of Rasselas !" it was
in the chill d~esolation of a baro and fit
less garnet that poor Goldsmith, the be-
loved vagrant Of literature, sketched
tho brightest pictures of domestic hap
pinoss the world ever had it was from
q sick bed, in some distress, and in a
necessitous exile, Tom Hood shook all
England with laughter. The enchant-
mont of Scott, the satire of Jorrold, half
the gems Of English wit and humor,
have been thrown out by genius in its
own sorrowful moments Oakland

The product of the precious metals i N
the United States during 1868, i. is
stated, amounts to SEQ, 500, 900, divided
as follows: California, $50, OOO, 900; Ne
vada, $4,000, 900; Montana, Si2,OOo,-

has fallen off, but the machinery for the
extraction Of the metals from quartz
rocks is run with greater skill, so thai
the product is increased. The so-called
improved methods Of crushing quartz
have all been abandoned, and the use
of old-fashioned stamps has been re-
yived. These stamps and machines,
however, arc used with greater care,
and the ore is more finely pulverizcd, sc
that a greater percentage of gold i:
extracted. 1t is anticipated that the
opening of the Pacific Railway will ex
cite more vigorous efforts in the mining
operations Of the country.

WHITE 1 N ITEMS.

from the News Of January ed
JUMPING LOTs.-Thero is q class Of
mon in this place who make n business
o fjumping lots wherever they find n de-
sirable one not actually occupied by n
building or tent. There is another class
not quito mean enough to jump lots,
but they take up acres Of ground and
divide it into lots and hold them for
sale, inclosing the whole with ropes,
and expecting their rights (D to be re-
spected. Both classes injure the pros
pcrity of the place by driving new COM
ers to Hamilton or Silver Springs,
whore such things are not permitted,
and where thoy can hold their lots in
security when they have bought them.
There has been a great deal of this
jumping Of lots during the Inst week,
some Of the jumpcrs going so far rs to
romove the lumber provided for build
ing q house, from tho lot, and taking
possession of it. This is all wrong, and
ought to be stopped, rs it Injuries tho
property of every citizen. These jump
ing titles will not stand the test Of the
law when thoy are brought into the
courts. There has been no decision, MS
some suppose, which sustains the jump
er's title IL any instance where n lot
has been properly reduced to possession
By being inclosed in such o manner as
to clearly indicate the purpose of tho
owner to occupy it and continue his i'm
p%rovsmsuts; or where it is otherwise
improved in any manncr that clearly in.
dictates such purpose. All Jumpers
| titles in such cases will surely be set
aside here as they were in Virginia
City, and VIC recommend nil buyers Of
real estate to refuse to purchase them,
and thus destroy their value and put an
end to jumping.
CHLORIDE FLAT. - The prospcctorS
have taken an extension Of Chloride
Flat, being now busily engaged sinking
shafts on the fiat next north Of it.
Scores of shafts are going down, and
several have obtained excellent pros
poets. We have heard Of sales of recent
locations at the rate of FIVE dollars per
foot, and some of them arc holding their
claims much higher. Tho excitement
has extended also to the second fiat
~northward. Shafts arc getting about as
numerous rs on the old fiat, and are
sunk with n total disregard for tho rights
of prior locators and lot owners. We
hope our %sntefprising prospectors won't
be obliged to demolish houses to find
room to sink their shafts, but it looks
like it at present.

TIKI ELEo RoUrE.-The stage leaves
and arrives every day on this route now,
and brings US n daily express. The pas
senSer train arrives at Elko at Q r. NJ,
and the stages leave carly mex, morning
for White Pine, arriving at Hamilton in
about 80 hours. The cars leave Elko
for Sacramento at 3 o'clock in the morn
ing, and arrive next day at noon, so tina,
passengers reach San Francisco in two
days and n nights travel from Elko.
Next summer the travelling time between
White Pine and the Bay will be reduced
to loss than sixty hours, we presume,
rs the stage route is an excellent one
for f,st travelling. The present rate OF
charges, however, both by stage and
railroad, is enormous, and we hope to
see it reduced to reasonable limits by
competition or other legitimate means,

ing the arrest Of VIM. S. Webb and his
son William Webb, and they were taken
in custody by Officer Lcaman and lodged
in tho station house. We hear THAT the
prisoners are charged with the murder
Of D. B. Pond, o farmer residing neal
tho Webbs, on Stoney Greek, Colusn
County. Tho body Of Mr.. Pond was
found by the roadside, near his farm,
last Thursday, pierced by a ball which
no doubt occasionod his death. The
bitterness heretofore existing between
the deceased and tho Webbs: originated
last May about dogs, and the %circuisous
route they travelled from Stoncy Creek
to this city, together with other suspl'
cious movements, have led to their ar
rest.

DEVELOPMENT ny ELEcrRIcITY. - A
foreign physician has recently started
the theory that children may be inn
proved in mind rs we'll as in body by
the use Of electricity. He gives the in
stance of a child, which was a phcnom'
ouon Of deformity and stupidity, which,
under the influence of electricity, grew
three centimeters in a few months, and
has always been first, instead of last, in
his class. Vegetation is much richer
and more rapid in its growth when
electrified than otherwise. The theo-
rist proposes, by way of experiment,
that the six lowest pupils of each class
in a lyceum or college be subjected 10
this electrical treatment.

The smallpox is fast disappearing
from San Francisco. 1t has prevailed
ever since last June, and at one time
the fatality reached 40 cases in q
single week. The disappearance of the
scourgc began with the first rainfall,
and some of the papers think that the
abatement results from the washing
away of the filth from the city. A
change in the condition of tho mir is the
