MINING TITLEs.-The San Francisco
Alta gives the following Item Of In
formation relative to the titles Of GER
taiu mines situated on the south end of
the Comstock lode: Some question has
arisen rs to the United States patent Of
tho Knickerbocker and Baltimore
mines, which adjoin the Caledonia.
From Mr.. +. Strother, Superintendent
of the Baltimore mine, We learn that
after four years struggle a patent was
awarded by the Government to the old
Knickerbocker Company, covering
2,4O0 feet Of the Comstock lode, adj
Joining the Caledonia mine, and that
two companies were formed, Of 1900
feet each, and designated as knicker-
booker and Baltimore. These mines
have similar groupings to the Caledo-
mia, and have taken out considerable
quantities of low grade ore near the
surface, but, finding the lode pitched
east at an anglo OF forty-flve degrees,
shafts are being driven down 900 feet
east of the croppinga. Drifts in the
Baltimore and k~nickerbocker are to
be run for the ledge at 500 Int IOO
feet, and the shaft carried down to in
tsrsect the lode. The shaft of the
Knickerbocker Is down about 2OO feet,
and the Baltimore over 100, both COM
panies working night and day. The
Caledonia shaft is over 200 feet deep,
and a drift running for the vein. The
original patent for the Baltimore and
Knfckerbocker mines Is OH file at the
office of the former company.
LADIES DEALING IN STocKs.-A great
many ladies in both Gold Hill and Vir-
sinla have made very acceptable win

fore remarked, there are quite a num-
Der of ladies operating In stocks, some
upon tho advice Of male friends who
are "on the inside of what Is going
on, and others upon their own saga
cIous Judgment. Among those whom

stock ventures Is Mrs. Howard Colt,
who Is credited with having realized
the snug little sum Of $4,000. which
Is to be religiously devoted to the ser.
vice Of .'pIn money" figure "5,s,'

..good buy" yet. Mrs. G.. IL. Coy Of
this city has been largely Investing in
stocks, so we are informed, and has re-
Allied quite q fortune. We wish the

EFFICIENT ARRANGEMESr.-ln place
Of the inefficient anv hose attached
to the well.gate Of their water tank or
clstern OH D street, Virginia, for sup
plying the engines in case Of fire, the
Hale Is Norcross company have at
tached an iron pipe with two branches
of discharge. Two machines n u
be furnished with plenty Of water at
the same time. That iron pipe VIII
neither rot nor burst, rs did the eau
va, one, and the other water tanks on
that street, belonging to the Savage
and Gould Il Curry, should follow suit
with iron pipes. If the discharge end
OF the pipes were fitted so that the hose
of the Fire Department could be
coupled directly on, the machines
would not be required In case Of a fire
below that street. The water would
run itself.
