Dends very greatly on the prOmptitude

PENSIONS.

A1ANEAC-N1s
The amount paid for pensions in the
last fiscal year was $40, l69.3 $40, an
amount larger by So, 70S ,434 than was
paid during the proceeding year. OF
this amount, S2,3l3, 400 wa paid IN
der the act of Congress of February
II, 1871, to survivors of the war of
1872. The annual increase of pen
siOns by the legislation Of Congress
has more than kept pace with the
natural yearly losses from the rolls
The act of Congress of June s, 1872,
has added an estimated amoun of
S75O,O00 per annum TO the rolls, with
out increasing the humber of pen
siOners. We cannot, therefore, look
for any substantial decrease in the
expenditures of this department. for
some time TO come, or so long as Con-
gross continues TO so change the rates
OF pension. The whole number of
soldiers enlisted in the war of the re-
her of claims for invalid pension Is
10000, being but six per cent. of the
whole number of enlisted men. The
total number of claims on hand at
the beginning of the year was 1850;
the number received during the year
was 2 1914 the number disposed of
was 35,l7S, making a net gain of l.
264. The number of claims now on
file Is 79,085. On the 3Oth of June,
1872, there were on the rolls the
names of IS, 400 invalid military pen
sioners, lis, SIS widows, orphans and
dependent relatives, making an ag-
gregate Of POS, O23 army pensioners
At the same time there were OF the
rolls the names of 1,449 navy pen
siOners, and 1,ES0 widows, orphans
and dependent relatives, making the
whole number of navy pensioners s.
I79. There have been received
since the passage of the act to pro-
vide pensions for the survivors of the
war of 1872, 1851 applications prior
to June 30, 1872. Or these there were
allowed during the last fiscal year
20, 126 claims; 4,S45 were rejected
during the year, leaving IL $50 claims
pending from that date The num-
Der of pensions of all classes granted
during the last fiscal year was 23,S3S ;
during that period there were dropped
from the rol S for various aus 9,104
names, leaving a grand total of 232.-
20 pensioners on the rolls on the Both
Of June, 1872. 1t is thought that the
claims for pensions OIL account of the
war of 1872 will all be disposed of by
the 1st OF May, 1873. IL is estimated
that $50, $50, 600 will be required for
the pension service during the next

80
Angeles Ne,cs Of May LIST:
Not one-tenth of the wonders Of the
region lying to the east OF this county,
on the other side Of the Sierras, have
as vet been revealed. We are now In
formed by one WHO has travelled
through the greater part Of that region
of the existence Of a large lake con-
tanning immense deposits Of borax and
soda. This lake Is situated from thir-
ty-ive to forty miles east Of the Mus
quito Springs, q station on the road
leading to the Owen River District,
north OF Tehachape Pass. The lake IA
a strange one, not less so on account Il
Its seclusion than 1t Il on account Of Its
deposits. The shores on one side OF
the lake arc lined with a deposit Of
pure soda. several feet In depth, while
the opposite shores are covered with a
similar deposit OF borax. The lake Is
about twelve miles long by eight miles
bread, and Is surrounded by high, bar
rem mountain ranges. Two streams OF
water empty into the lake. but 1t has
10 visible outlet, the quantity. Of water
contained within the basin being kept
within we'll defined limits by the pro-
cess of evaporation. The waters OF
these streams are highly impregnated
with salts, one having borax, the other
soda. Seemingly these waters do not
intermingle in the lake, and rs It's sur
face Is seldom rut1ed by a breeze, the
work of precipitation goes OH uninter-
ruptedly. Whenever the Southern
Pacific Railroad Is built these mex
austible deposits ofsoda and borax will
become profitable to ship. At present
the distance to the seaboard Is too
great for 1t to be worth the expense Of
carriage.

NEW MINING LAW.

VIC are indebted to Senator VIM. NJ.
Stewart for a copy of TIE new mining
law which has passed Congress and re-
ceived the approval of the President.
Under this law the manner Of obtain
Ing Government patents to mines Is
greatly slmplifled. and the time Of ad-
vertising for such patent is reduced to
sixty days instead of ninety. rs hereto
fore, under the old law. No company
will hereafter be allowed to locate
more than fifteen hundred feet OH any
one lode, and no foreigner, unless he
shall have declared his intention Of be-
coming a citizen of the United States.
IAN become a locator Of a mine within
the borders Of the American country.
The law Is a very acceptable aud ex-
plicit one, and will tend to facilitate
the settlement Of mining titles
throughout the land, applying with
peculiar fitness to this section.
