A company of prominent savants who

cost $4,000 each. Three hundred Of the

FxTUREs.-The Supreme Court Of Nc.
vada has recently delivered an opinion on
the subject Of fixtures" which has at
tracted great attention in the Pacific
States. The Court first laid down the
principle that an erection OF any kind
placed on the land, but not annexed or
fastened to or imbedded in the soil, and
not intended to DO permanent, or lelt In
definitely thereon, cannot be deemed o
fixture, but Is personal chattel merely.
The building In dispute was II saw-mill
which had cost 10000 10 erect. It was
built upon large timbers placed upon the
ground, and upon these timbers were laid
brick walls to which the engine, boiler
and machinery were attached. There
was very little grading done in laying the
foundation Of the building, and in thelan.
guage of a witness, the saw.mill was con.
structed for the purpose Of saving timber
within convenient distance, and then to
DO removed to some other locality where
there was timber TO saw. Under this
state OF facts the Court held that the saw.
mill was not annexed to soil and could be
removed by the lessee Of the land before
the expiration Of his term, as there was no
intention to make the building a perma.
ment structure on the land.

THE ANCIENT Critics OF ARIZONA were
the subject OF an interesting lecture re-
Gently delivered in Chicago by Professor
J. W. Powell, the well.known explorer Of
the Colorado. In descending the canons
Of this river, Professor Powell discovered
the remains of the ancient cities inhabit-.
ed by a raco of civilized mon long before
the invasion by the spaniarls. Sixty or
seventy cities existed in 1547, but they
were nearly all destroyed by the Span
iards, and now only seven arc known TO
be standing In the hitherto unexplored re-
giOns Of Arizona. These remaining cities
are inhabited by people who still retain
their ancient religion and many of their
primitive customs. Tho cities arc built
high up on cliffs, tho houses being placed
on terraces and on the sides oil open
squares. The lower rooms arc used us
stOre.rooms, while the upper ones arc
reached by means Of tree trunks cut into
steps. The houses arc from four 10 seven
stories in height, and in tho corners Of
each room arc tire.places. In thevicinity
of the uninhabited and ruined CITIES, trag.
ments Of beautiful ancient pottery were
discovered, and the walls OF the rooms are
still covered with colorcd paintings and
hieroglyphics.

The superior siIver AIines.

The silver mines on the north shore Of
Lake Superior win attract q good deal Of
attention during the coming year, as
enough Is known to render Il probable
that they will render large yield at q
sure profit. At silver Island, recently
purchased from q Canadian company by
Detroit capitalists, operations were begun
on the first Of September last, by building
breakwater and a cofierdam 10 protect
the islet, which lies very low, from the
waves and storms. On October IA, the
first Of the ore reached Detroit, and by
September 0, when operations were sus-
pended by the destruction of the dam,
about eighty tons had been taken out,
which are said TO have yielded an average
of one thousand dollars q ton, which Is
simply enormous, The company arc re-
building and periecting their dams, and
by the opening OF navigation will be able
TO take out the ore in any required guam
tity. .' : " Z
It Is now believed that the whole north
shore OF Lake Superior is peculiarly rich
in veins OF silver. The Superior (Wis.)
Times describes one Of these on the
Amethyst as about four feet wide, well de.
fined, and projects aboveth the surface from
four to six feet, the vein rock being much
harder than that on each side Of It. It
has been traced for miles through tho
country, and into the waters of Thunder
Bay. Captain Beck has sunk shaft
about ten feet in depth in the vein, and
fifty per cent OF the rock obtained from

of Members of the State Legislature,
three-fourths are certainly Democratic.

to Member of Congress- they elected
their candidates by handsome majori-
