Mineral Land Law.

Next week we will publish the Mineral
Land Law in full for the information Of
those who are interested in land matters,
and it might be well for subscribers to
preserve the next number for reference
hereafter. There is no doubt but what
the mineral lands of this county will all
be taken up, and parties who are in pos
session of valuable placer mining ground
or quartz veins will show themselves wise
by soon securing Government titles to
their claims in accordance with the laws
of Congress. Remember that spectators
are inclined to gobble lands up by sections
and townships these days, and it is a good
plan to get ahead of them.

gagements have taken place at or near
Metz, and only one of these conflicts ter
minated favorable to the French. The
Prussians are in possession Of Nancy, are
swarming around Metz, and are reported
to occupy in force the ground on the line
of communication between Metz and
Chalons. (Chalonsis on the direct road
between Metz and Paris.) Cranrobert is
at Chalons with large army of fresh
French recruits which are being rapidly
organized for the field. Main French ar
my supposed to be at or near Chalons.
Six hundred thousand German soldiers
are now in France, carrying needle guns

population of able-bodied Germans. This
mass is distributed in three portions-the
army of the Saar the army of the Rhine,
and the army of the South.

Shasta, Buckeye and Millville was a great
blunder, or something worse The matter

The Needle Gun Compared with American
Arms.

The New York World in a recent ed;to,;.,
sounded the praises of the Chassepot and the
Needls gun, and expressed the opinion that
we had nothing in the way of FIRE arms in
the United States that could compare for ef.
hciency With those terrible IMPLEMENTS of de
struction. We are inclined to the opinion
that the World has been too hasty in its con
ceseions. We have examined a specimen of
the famous Prussian weapon, which has re-
Gently been received in this city, and we
think that il is in several respects inferior 10
both the Henry rifle and to Sharp's car
bine. The Needle gun, or at least the spec
linen which we have had an opportunity 10
Iinspect, requires ak distinct movements af-
ter each discharge to prepare it to be dis.
charged again. These movements REQUIRE
at least from six 10 eight seconds, and we do
not think that in the hands of q person prac-
tised in its use, an average of more than
eight discharges per minute can be attained.
Sharp's carbine, an American invention,
which has been introduced into the United
States army as cavalry weapon, requires
but four movements, and can be discharged
twelve times per minute. Of cours longer
-barreled weapon on the same principle, for
infantry use, could be constructed Henry's
rife is still more formidable weapon, and
BY far the most destructive fire arm ever yet
invented. II can be discharged from twenty
to thirty times per minute. The Needle gun
has t. be removed from the shoulder after
each discharge, while the Henry rifle can be
discharged sixteen times in rapid succession
without single change Of position There
can he no doubt at all that the Henry rife
would prove far more terrible weapon on
the field of battle than either the Needle gun
or the Chassspot. And there are several
other arms, of American invention. of which
the same may be safely afirmed.-Sacra-
mento Record.
