ment had anticipated. The fact is, the
subject is not sufficiently understood,
nor its important bearing on the material
prosperity of our District generally
enough appreciated, 10 excite interest on
so short a notice. The meeting ad-
journed to Saturday night next, and in
the meantime we shall endeavor to so
illuminate the subject that everybody
will see the importance attaching to q
thorough investigation of 1t. The estab-
fishing of separating works here. is Sec

Oh the public taps.
MARRYING AND UNMARRYINo.-The
County Clerk has done quite q smart
business in marriage licenses since the
organization of White Pine county.
During that time he has issued A licen-
SEES; but he has had the felicity to make
a partial offset by recording IA DEGREES
Of divorce. The total number Of appli-
cations made for legal segregation was
IS, four of which were denied. Out Of
the entire number Of divorce suits COM
menced, only four were instituted by the
male partner, the balance, fourteen, hav-
ing been sought by the dear delightful
creatures who throw themselves on the
country for liberty and the pursuit Of
single happiness. In many cases, it
would be difficult to answer Ephe Horns
question as to who the things belonged
tor Where is Indianal
IMMENSELY OF WooD.-A drive Of four
or FIVE miles down the canyon and
through the Hendrie Valley towards
Shermantown, is full of interest at this
pleasant season. To the eye that only
judges of our timber capacity from the
bare appearance of our immediate vicin-
ity, the vast quantities Of timber our dis.
trict has to fall back upon would seem
exaggerated. Every few hundred yards
through the canyon long strings Of fire.
wood are corded up, and the hill sides
are spotted with ample piles Of fuel ready
for a market. Yet, along the slope OF
White Pine Mountain, forests of noble
eedars stand erect and evergreen, casting
their delicious umbrage over the pictur-
esque camping grounds, where the merry
miners sing their nocturnal lullabies and
dream of the wealth which IL theirs-in
prospective.
ALTOGETHER TOO FAsr.-A correspond
ent who has been making a tour of the
world for over a year, explored the head
waters of the Nile, and climbed the high
est peaks ofthe Himalayas, besides taking
a little run into Abyssinia and other pop
ular foreign resorts, has just returned to
White Pine, and wants to know the ma
ture of tho decision Of the Supreme Court
of this State in the appealed questions
relating TO our mining laws. This old
peripatetic buffer doesn' : know that there
has been no decision had already. He
must be in a great hurry to settle legal
questions Of this magnitude. We would
advise him to take another walk, and
come back in a century or 80, when we
shall be able to eategorically answer his
pressing question.
'FREEzE-oUT' RAcE.-There is some
talk among horsemen of getting up q
'froeze-out' race over the Darby, in
front of our office. The conditions Of
this race are, that the horses shall all
start at the word, keep up their lick over
the track, and the last n to the score
wins. There have been several entries
made. among which are Uncle Billy's b.
IN. ~lmmovable.' and Balty Sours' c.
&. y. Nicely Johnson All our money
goes on the last named horse. If he
run at all in keeping with the Judicial
alacrity Of his namesake on the Supreme
Bench, it will take him four years and a
half to reach the score; then the chances
are that he will come in all bunged up
from oYer-exertion.
FIREMES's ELEcTIoN.--At the semi
annual meeting last night Of Liberty
Hose Company No. l, two candidates
were nominated for the position of Fore
man, as follows: Phillip Late and Ed.
Kiesele. On the first ballot, Late re-
ceiyed - votes and Kiesele .. Late
was declared unanimously elected. P.
MCGEE was then elected First Assistant
Foreman; j. p. Henry, Second Assist
ant; z. Nj. O'Connor, President; j. III.
Rice, Vice President; Dennis DAILY, Sec
Rotary. and Lewis Hymes Treasurer-all
without opposition. The representatives
of the company in the Board of Dele
gates were elected as follows: j. NJ.
Parker, Dennis DAILY and Thos. II. DAILY.
An OLD FnIEND.-we yesterday saw
an old and valued friend of ours we
have not had the pleasure OF clasping
for many a long year. lie was intro
duced to us after his long absence, by
Woodruff, whose line had picked him
up at Eureka. His name Ia 'Octagonal
Slug, and wherever he happens to be a
ifty-dollar piece is not wanting. He is
getting, like the rest Of us Pacific Coast
ers, old now, having been born In San
Francisco in 1851 out of Humbert's
assay office. II speaks bad for the times
in Eureka when a man Is compelled to
part with one of these old slugs TO APP
pease his pressing necessities.
No MoRE.-We shall hereafter lay il
down rs an inexorable rule that local
itemizers are utterly unreliablv as wealth
err prophets. We never knew one yet
to prognosticate correctly, and in our
own limited experience, we never took
the chances of writing up in advance a
beautiful sunset to be followed by a
night of rare and roseat shadows, that
we were not made to appear ridiculous
by the clerk Of the weather before we
had gone to press. We are done.
LAST CHANoE.-No steps have beA
taken to disturb the existing mining Lao
on tho Goth instant. They are suscepti-
BILE of great improvement; but the general
impression seems 10 be to let them slide,
and seek a remedy in their liberal inter-
probation by the Supreme Court. By
the time w shall have piled up decisions
enough from that Court to thoroughly
know what the law is, most Of our claims
will be in a very different planetary dis
trict.
