astion,.l. Bat, as will be found from Il
moments careful looking into mattel
which We are going to speak of, there is
no inco1side-a5le degree of relevancy III
its p.opounslias. In the irst place. then:
There is, nowhere in existence, an
officially adopted and recognized plot Of
tha so-c.iied town OF Carson City. There
is an abundance of maps and plans, many
OF which are nicely drawn, colosed and
lettered; but not one Of these is duly
accepted guide towards the deter,Hiu,s>
ton OF the limits of the town.
We Will explain: Under an Act of Con.
sress which was passed some years since,
Saml H. Wright. formerly Ju 6, of this
District was officially empowered as a
Trustee to issue deeds for reiinqnish,ng
tbs governments title to certain building
lots. deacribed in a general way, as bsirs;
situated i'll and constituting u part or the
whole Gas may yet be determined) Of
Carson City In order to perform his
duties of Trustee, Judge Wright got a
copy of one OF the many maps or plots Of
Carson. and taking sae numbers AID
bounds and points Of the compass there
upon set down. he proceeded to execute
the deesls as provided in the aforesaid
Act. We believe we know two of the
boundaries adopted by him in acce .tlance
with this map; anyhow We viii assume
tina. hs took Eleventh street for his
southern line and line describing a
narrox gore of Land, cutting in upcn the
aas: Ease " IL. lbs watch front on Min
nssots street for his western boundary
These data. correct or incorrect. give us q
starting point. wrigh: assumed, or was
% directed BY the law. o. got at it soaae-
how. that u certain body of land des-
eribei on the map aforesaid as the town
Of Carson City did constitute. SO far as
his Trusteeship went, the place Of tina:
name, and SO he issaetl his deeds-snd
good and sufficient snes they are.
And now. with this showing, the ques-
ton z .turally arises: Way il not this
map which Judge Wsish: used a Euf,ici-
satly complete description OF Carson
City to answer 70: IA. Of al plot OF the
placs? And We Will answer. somewhat |
at ran lem. that SO it is: bnt how and by
whom is it to DO adopted md made OF

the cxJuslSe's possession; and. as we
are further informed, he, for reasons best |
known to himself, declines to part with |
II. although his labors as Trustee are
andetl
To DO plain spoken about the matter,
we suppose that Wright holds this map
- . piscs Of property which he will part
With whenever hs can get the price which
he considers it worth. Perhaps this il

but he hiss tho map. sure enough: and
