STATE MIsERALoGIsT.- $50 far as we
have heard there are but three persons
in the whole State who aspire to the can
didacy upon the Republican ticket for
office of State Mineralogist; and they are
A. F. White, present incumbent; Henry
Whitehill and Joshua Z. Clayton. The
office. though sought after by few, is one
of the most important within the peo-
ple's power to bestow, when considered
from the proper MISUNDERSTANDING
&c Il does SO directly the material interest
- The State. Future thrift and pros
,a,;tv depends upon the proper exhibit
Ron nv our authorities of the vast min
araI resources we possess, the induce
marte offered for the investment Of capt.
fal in mining operations, and the pre-
sentation of inco~ntroyerfiole statistical
facts in proof of u Incompatible re-
sorts. And for this purpose was the
Office of State Mineralogist created-not
as a sinecure, but n OF active duty.
Therefore. il should be given only to one
wbom experience as well as theory has
tntored. who would take pride in noting
With correctness every duty entailed,
and care as much for fnture fame to be
founded upon official acts and reports as
for nresent emoluments. In the pub
i;shed official records of the present in
"nnohant of the Office we look in vain for
any hrilliant contribution TO mineralogi-
al nv oeolorical sciences; neither have
ma sver beari OF the induction Of any
Great enterprises stimulated by a perusal
Of these reports. They are crude, in
comnIete and unreliable. We would like
cbanOe in the Office. Elderberries
shalI never affect the stomach OF a can
d;dafe of ours. Neither do we incline to
tbe installment into that office OF the
mobile keeper Of Westgate in 1868.
Henry NAV be a scholar to-day-by virtue
of a college diploma-but he was not in
the DAYS of yore. Parson White nor
Henry Whitehill are beau ideals of our
dreams of model State Mineralogists.
Clayton m nearer u hopes. We
have met him on the most repulsiye
deserts of this Continent, and our greet
ings have been exchanged in places APP
paiying to carpet knights. Instructor Of
Gabn, teacher Of Whitney, and van-
auisher of Silliman, u voice in conyen-
iion will be for you.
TOWARD EBERHARDT. Down the a n
yon, south of town, toward Eberhardt,
near the Nevada mill, dwell two gentle
men, father and son, Robinson by name.
They have long exercised ownership and
control over a certain tract Of land there
valuable for milling and other purposes.
An %enyious man disputed their claim
and blandly informed tie younger Robin
son that be was son to that other gal OF
France than Nancy-B itsehe. Some m
cient pieces of pottery, in the shape of
brick. formed by the master hand Of
Andy S~nodgrass, just then commenced
to leave the vulgar mud in which they
were imbedded and found soft repose in
more congenial clay. Robinson's dis
putant came TO town, exhibited the
prints of pottery upon his back TO Justice
an arrest was made; and we do mt
know the termination yet.
