NEW DISCOVERIES IN HUMBOLDT COUNTY
Some new and surprisingly rich mines are re-
ported to have been discovered about eight
miles in south-cnsterly direction from Linz
erick, in Humboldt county. Isaac Miller and
.. X. Stampley, the parties who made the
discovery, are highly elated with their pros
poets, and claim big things for the new Ell Do
RADIO. Specimens of ore exhibited mt Union
VILE, are immensely rich in both gold and sill
yer. The principal ledge is said to crop fifteen
feet above the ground. Hon. g. G. Berry has
gone ont from Unionville to look at the mines
If the mines are as rich and extensive as re-
ported, there will soon be big excitement in
Humboldt county.

CuRrsrN,s DAY-Another one of those fes-
tive occasions, commemontiyetof the nativity
of the Son of God. has arrived. To all our
friends, wherever they be, we extend kind
greeting. Some Of our towns-people, having
an abundance Of leisure and coin. have fed
to san Francisco to revel, during the holidays,
in the pleasurable excitements of that gay me
tropolis; Others, detained by business pursuits,
or laboring under the wholesome restraint of
impecuniosity, will pass the time, as pleas
antly perhaps, in our quiet town amidst the
sagebrush. The best place of all, 10 spend
Christmas, is in the bosom of ones family.
Those who are denied this pleasure have our
warmest sympathy, and we trust that they
will bear their privation with equauimity, in
accordance with the principle that what can't
be cured must be endured. The best thing
to put one i'll the proper frame OF mind Tor The
enjoyment of Christmas, Is the perusal OF
Dickens Christmas Carol. Although purely
n work of fiction, no one can read the book
without being inspired with kindier feelings
toward his fellow-men. The custom of inter
change of presents among relatives and friends
on Christmas day, Is II beautiful one, and
worthy of all observance. In the minds OF
most people, Christmas is not so much asso-
cated with the particular event which it is
designed to commemorate as with the annual
visits of Santa Claus, i'll whom, as children,
our faith was unlimited; while i'll our later
years, visions rise up before us of mincc and
pumpkin pies, of baked meats and hccatombs
of slaughtered turkeys. Speaking of turkeys,
remind MS of an unfortunate experience Of II
Young friend of ours, which we will allow him
to relate III his own words. Said he: "Whcr-
ever have boarded, it has always been my
misfortune to he regarded rs an uudcrling, SO
that whenever u turkey or chicken was served
for dinner, the choice morsclS would he dis
tribu;cd to the other guests, while a wing or
neck piece of the fowl WIS considered good
enough for me. Always my luck" - said he
mournfully, always my luck - Wrsnccrely
hope that all our friends will have better lucl,
that they will enjoy n bouutcous feast, with
plenty of white meat" of the turkey for those
who prefer it. Let rs, in conclusion, repeat
the pious ejaculatons of Tiny Tim ut Bob
Crchet's Christmas dinner, God bless us,
every one -

SALE OF PLACER CLAIMs.-The sale of placer
claims, aswell as quartz lodges, is provided for
in bill of Mr.. Sargent, of California. They
are subject to entry and patent under provis-
ions similar to those now provided for quartz
claims. No location shall exceed one hundred
and sixty acres for any one person or associa-
ton. Subdivisions of ten-acre tracts NAV be
made. The lands may be sold at the rate of
81 5O per acre. On the whole, it is doubtful
whether the bill, should it become law. will
not accomplish greater evil than it is de-
signed to suppress. We have seen the dsas-
trous results of the monopoly of agricultural
lands, and we may look for n repetition of
these monopo!ies should the system be adoted.

TAXING THE CENSUS IN NEvADA.--Some SEN
sible remarks were delivered by Mr.. Fitch, of
this State, in the House Of Representatives,
on the census bill !i:=l pending. The bill
provided for n district superintendent, to be
paid at the rate Of eight dollars per day, and
for enumerators at the rite of four dollars per
day, during the time employed. Mr.. Fitch
moved to amend, by leaving it optional with
the Secretary of the Interior to allow such adj
ditional compensation for these officials i'll the
Pacific States and Territories as he might
consider proper. Mr.. Fitch very truthfully
urged the fact that in many of the sparsely
populated districts of this portion of the coun-
try the expenses of travelling and living would
more than balance the compensation. The
amendment, as far as it applied to the States
on this coast, has finally been adopted. So
the fortunate appointees for the State of Ne
vada will have an opportunity of proving up
the value Of their services, while wandering
about among the sagebrush

APPREcIATED.-W. l.. Selfidge, generally
known by the name of ''Yank," who has been
sorely afflicted of late, desires to return his
sincere thanks to his friends for their liberal
ity i'll advancing money to enable hin to pro-
