PkTENTsro MINEs-Itis well known

PATENTS TO MINEs-Itis well known
that under the law Of Congress, rs con-
strued by Commissioner Drummond,
n 0 foreigner can derive title to mining
property from the Government. This
Is as we'll understood by English CAPT.
talists as 1t is right here at home, and
the inevitable result will be that the
London market cannot be induced to
touch a single non-patented property
In the future. Our miners, therefore,
had lust as we'll look the fact square In
the face first as last. The remedy lies
in procuring Government patents be-
fore offering mines in foreign markets.
II a mine Is not worth the trouble and
expense of getting out a patent, 1t had
as we'll be abandoned at once rs utterly
valueless. Again, when a patent has
been procured, litigation concerning
tisle Ia forever barred. We tell miners
now that Engllshmen will never pur-
chase another mine on this coast to
which o Government patent has not
been issued and they are right about
it. But perfect your title first, and
there will be no trouble about finding
foreign purchasers for promising
properties.-EWreka Sentinel.

Several days since William Abbot

in order that his property-a saloon
on Pacific street-might not be i'll
yolved, lo transferred 1t To Stewart
Shipley. Yesterday Shipley sold out
the whole concern and pocketed the
proceeds, much to the disgust OF Abbot.
Last evening the two men met, and
Abbot demanded the money received
by Shipley, which demand was not
complied with. Both began wrangllng,
and the result was a wound in the right
side of Shipley, caused by q bullet
from a pistol fired by Abbot. Abbot
Immediately lett for the southern part
OF the city. where he was arrested by
Sergeant Ward. Shipley was taken to
the City Prison, aud there his wound
was probed by DR.. johnson, who was

From the 8. F.. Alta Of December 11th.]
On Wednesday evening, while 1t was
uncertain what day would be selected
for the Inauguration Of Governor
Booth, the members of our militia
companies proposing to participate In
the ceremonies were naturally anx-
ious to know rs soon as possible, SO as
to arrange for carrying on their bust
ness during their absence, and the tele-
graph was frequently called into requi-
sltion. Captain Schneider telegraphed
to Captain Elmer, of Sacramento, and
Captain Humphrey had telegraphed
to General Cazneau, but the news did
not come, because the day was not
known until a late hour. The anxious
captains visited the Alta office, but our
Sacramento dispatches had not been
received; and the Western Union
business office was closed. though the
messenger boy was still delivering
messages. The office of the Atlantic
and Pacific line, OH the opposite side
Of the street, has the operating room
on the ground floor, and Is accessible
from the street, and to this office Cap
tain Humphrey went to send another
dispatch to the Capital. While there
he learned that there was an answer
to one Of his kilograms lying In the
Western Union office. A boy was sent
over to try to get admission, but the
operator up stairs would not respond
to the rattling Of the door, so he re-
turned to the Atlantic and Pacific
Office, and Mr.. Curran sent a message
to Sacramento to tell the Western
Union operator there to communicate
with the San Francisco Office and say
there was a boy knocking ut the door
trying to get In to obtain a dispatch
for Captain Humphrey. The San
Francisco operator opened the door for
the boy, and congratulated MI. Curran
on his ingenuity In sending a message
276 miles-to Sacramento and back
to get TO the inside of a building on
the opposite side Of California street.

WE were Of opinion from the first
news Of the late conflagratiou at Chi
cago that In all financial and business
circles there was apparent n DISPOSE
ton, great as was the destruction OF
property there, to magnify Its amount,
and tho long continuance Of The effect
Of the loss. Every day since has con-
firmed this opinion, by showing more
of property saved and a more rapidre-
covery Of business than was expected.
Chicago, like a phoenix, Is rising from
its ashes. The merchants and citizens
have no thought Of surrendering to
their mbfortuncs, and their creditors
have no occasion to give up in despair.

coxapyss.-The present session o
Congress Is likely to be a very long
and laborious ono. It LEFT over from
Last ss,sion more business than 1t Ii
nossIble for them to accomplish In the
time usually allowed to a session, and
IL Il known that much Of now business
Is In contemplation. The hope thas
land-grabbers would DO more moderate
in their demands In the ensuing than
In the previous sessions Is not encour-
aged by the bills already introduced
and awaiting action. There are on the
files Of the House twenty-five bills
granting lands In aid Of railroads,
many of which have not even their
terminal points and not q mile OF their
lines located. Five canal companies
arc asking charters and land titles. 1t
Is impossible, of course, from the Inn
perfect data, to estimate the amount
of land which will be required to sat
isfy all these demands, as the length
of many of the roads will depend on
the magnitude Of the IMMIGRANTS. The
Senate has also twenty-three land-gran'
railroad bills now pending, but several
are substantially identical with some
before the House. Three Constitutions
. amendments-among them one prohio
itlng Congress from chartering private
corporations-are on the records ant
awaiting action. Among the more
important of the other matters are TIKI
bills abolishing the income tax ant
franking privilege; authorizing com
missions ON the hours Of labor and Oh
the Alabama claims; revising the
postal, pension and coinage laws; ap,,
pointing . shipping commissioner, and
the postal telegraph bills.
