N. Furlong, ex-School Superintendent
of Santa Clara county, CAL, succeeded
in accomplishing the disgrace of Miss
Maggie Bose, aged II years, and then
ran away. The young woman gave birth
to child, which lived but few days.
The San Jose Mercury says: Furlong is
native of Ireland, aged 31--a thick-sst,
full-faced man, with heavy beard. He
has smooth, oily tongue, and sane
timonious air. A little touch of the
higher law" is just what is needed in
his case, and is probably what he will
get if he ever shows his face in these
parts again.

MINERS will be interested in the fol-
lowing letter received by General R. NJ
Hughes of this city, says the Denver
News, from w. w. Curtis, Acting Com
missioner of the General Land Office,
under date of November 10, 1872, from
which we are permitted to make the sub
joined extract. The ruling cannot fail
to receive widespread attention from
our mining population, to whom this
letter is particularly referred:
I'm reply to your letter of the Sd inst,
I have to state that the only laws govern
ing the disposal of coal lands are those
of July LIST, 1864, and March 3D., 1865.
This office does not require proof OF an
annual expenditure upon each mining
claim, except in the case of an applica-
ton for patent for such claim; but in
case any owner or locator should fail to
make the expenditure required by the 18th
section of the act of May 10th, 1872, upon
his mining claim, such claim becomes
open to relocation by other parties.
