Dividend PAVING Mines.

The Salt Lake Tribune contains an
article on the dividend paying mines in
England as against those in America.
By looking at the statistics one will be
readily led 10 the conclusion that the
majority of investments by English cap
italists in this country, when discretion
was used in ascertaining values before
purchase, have been paying ones. Mon
ey in England is easily obtained at from
two to four per cent. per annum, and it
has been the case that double that
amount of interest per month has been
realized N purchases made here. OF
course many and serious losses have &C.
Cured to our English cousins, but it was
generally attributable to want of judg-
ment On the part of so-called experts sent
to examine mining property, or villiany
on the part of sellers. Instances have
also occurred where inexperienced or in
competent men have been sent over here
from the old country to take charge of
and work properties, and almost invari-
ably they have failed to obtain success
from various reasons, N of the princi-
pal Of which is their want of knowledge in
the business of mining. Taken as a
whole, the English investors in American
mines have realized large amounts of mon
ey, and are even now doing so in various
instances. The mines at Grass Valley,
California, are paying constant divi-
dsnds the mines in Utah are rsmunera-
tive, as,also' the Richmond property I'M
our neighboring town Of Eureka. There
is no cause for discouragement with the
property owned by them on Treasure
Hill, as we are credibly informed that the
mines are looking exceedingly well and
give great promise of remuneratiye re-
suits the coming season. The business Of
mining also is becoming to be more Of a
science then formerly, and, with the pro-
posed improved facilities Of transporta-
ton by rail, ores, which.nowdo not pay
to work and are thrown carelessly one
side, will become of value and be sue
ceptible of profitable working. The
British journals are just now unusually
severe upon American mining interests,
but their tone will undoubtedly undergo
a change before the next year shall have
come.

A NecessitY.

The Phoebe Record, under the caption
of Territorial acquisition" is in favor
of the northwestern portion Of Nye coun-
ty, now bordering both on Lincoln and
White Pine, being segregated and made
parts of the two last named counties.
Looking at the map, n cannot fail to
he struck with the business of this idea.
As the people in that section are now sit
uated, they have ONE two hundred miles
to travel in order 70 reach Belmont, and
would have not more than half that dis
lance to 60 were Hamilton the county
seat. There are extensive mining and
agricultural interests embraced in that
section, and the acquisition of the terri
tory named would be not only a benefit
to the people there, but also a source of
revenue to ourselves. As the case now
stands, it seems to us to be one deserving
formed, petitions have been sent to the.
Legislature to have the change made.
We trust u representatives will use
their utmost endeavors for its accomplish
nsent. The same argument used by our
Eureka neighbors for division seems a
proper "a for the Nye county people;
that is, expense attending lawsuits when
taken to Districts Courts far removed
from them. We have conyersed with
several gentlemen interested in the sec
tion Of country named, and they all agree
IN their desire to have the change effected.
Now that the big fight Of the session is
ever-the division question-we trust our
representatives may be enabled to carry
the measure through.

Chronic ReSoldlionlsts.

The neighboring so-called Republic of
Mexico, after enjoying comparative peace
for o period.under the judicious admins
tration Of Juarez, is now plunged into a
revolution mere gigantic than for a long
time appears m the history of that war
cursed country. The present difficulties
commenced from a misunderstanding be-
tween President Lerdo de Tejada and a
general named Lozada, in which the lat
ter claims he has not been treated with
sufficient consideration, and, for that
reason, proposes to overthrow the gov
ernment, and fill it with additional sor-
row and woe. Will this state of affairs
in that distracted, country ever be made
better2 Will the time ever come when
life and property shall be respected and
the people have government ~caAeulated
to elevate instead of expressing them9
We can surely see that such an event will
never occur until the system of free
schools shall exercise an influence crush
ing to the great ruling curse of Catholic
cism, as practised there. For years the
country has been the theater of war, OF
uillAge and rapine. and the signs of the
times are that for years such. will con-
tinue to 'darken it's history and progress,
except the masses are helped out of the
pit of Ignorance in which they are now
wallowing, by the ~elevating system of
education.
1t is often advocated that the United
States assume the government of this
people by taking them into our Union.
But what would a government, though
the form might be the same, do with sub
iects speaking another tongue, brutaland
uneducated2 The fairest portion Of the
American continent is contained within
the area of Mexico. By industrious and
comprehensive working it could be made
the garden spot of the world; its mines,
rich in gold and silver, could be made 10
increase the wealth OF all nations; its har-
bors would be crowded with shipping
from every cline, and its flag be honored
everywhere. But before such a glorious
future can be more than limited at, the
people must be brought to see that it is
not through war and pillage that q
try becomes either permanently great and
prosperous, but rather through IN intelli-
gent use of the faculties given them by
God, by industry, by labor, and an ear
nest desire to help one another. Time,
the great arbiter, only can solve this COM
plicated problem, and unhappy Mexico
must still continue to wade through her
chronic revolutions, suffering from con-
stpntly bleeding wounds inflicted by her
own people, ere a lasting government
shall lave been attained.

Hon. Nh. WILSON'S BILL.-We are in
receipt of a bill introduced into the leg
idature on the 18th instant, proyidingfor
the construction of a railroad to he known
as the Humboldt and Colorado Railroad
Company. The intention is for the road
to start at or near Palisade, run through
or near Eureka, thence through Nye
county to Phoebe and the Colorado rive g.
The County Commissioners of Nye are
instructed to subscribe $500, 600, to the
capital stock of the company, at times
when the road shall have reached points
mentioned in the bill. Lincoln county
also subscribes $780, 900 to be paid in the
manner mentioned i'll the bill. As it
mentions nothing of the amount to be
paid by Eureka county, we presume an
other bill will be introduced for that pur-
pose. This certainly looks like business,
and if passed, the bill will at least assure
us of the building of a road as far as Eu-
reka, during the coming Summer.

Funding the County Debt.

Late in the week we hear of an effort to
be made at Carson to make a law provid-
ing for funding the county debt. The
amount is in the neighborhood of $24,-
900, which. added to the sum already
funded, will reach 100000 or there
abouts. Few if any of u tax payers
are in favor Of this move, and we regard
the effort as short-sighted and of only
temporary benefit. Would it not be bet
ter for our representatives to urge the
annexation of the valuable territory of
Nye county, and, by thus. adding to tax
able property, increase the value of the
scrip. We offer this only as a sugges-
ton not being well enough acquainted
with both sides of the question to enter
into an argument pro or con.

LYNcHING IN UTAH. The Salt Lake
Tribune relates the circumstance of the
lynching of c. A. Benson, at Logan City,
in Utah. 1t will be remembered that this
man Benson was the same one who, ON
being elected from a ballroom, at Salt
Lake City about one year ago, turned and
fired a shot amo4g the crowd, killing a
man.. He then fed from the territory,
but returned only to commit a dastardly
murder on the person of David W. Crock
EFT. Although lynch-law is always to be
deplored,. still, circumstances often occur
which render it necessary that violent
means should be resorted to, in order
that the dignityo of the law be maintained.

AN HONEST BoY.-Not long since O
man well known in this community died
at his place near Santa Rosa. The day
after his death the straw mattress upon
which he lay was ripped open, and the
contents emptied in shed near the
house. Hamilton McCorkle, a lad nine
years of age, while playing in the shed
last Sunday, found among the straw a
shot bag containing $500 in gold coin.--
The lad knew TO whom it had belonged,
and without hesitation took it to the house
with all of its contents, and gave it to
the widow of the deceased. The stran-
gest part Of the story remains TO be told.
The $500 was mere bagatelle TO the ow-
uer to whom it was returned-and yet
she forgot to divide with the hone lad,
or to give him twenty dollars, or even
two bits or any sum whatever. When
twitted afterward by some of his COM
panions for having lost the opportunity
of supplying himself with unlimited tops,
marbles, kites, fre-crackers and candy,
he replied, 81 don't care. think did

CoUPoN, the co:pulent banker, was
standing in Wall street one hot day in
August, "wiping the servile drops from
off his brow" when a ragged but sharp
eyed newsboy accosted him with "Please
tell me the time" Coupon lugged out
his time apiece, and looking benignly down
on his interlocutor, responded, "Just
two O'clock" "All right, old buffer"
said the gamin, drawing his rags togeth-
or for a run, "you can sell out for soap
grease at three" The insulted man of
money raised his cane, and making n
frantic rush for his tormentor, nearly
fell over friend who was coming up the
street. " Hello, Coupon, what's the mat
ter ?' said the other, " Matter !" said
Coupon, putting with heat and rage
"why one Of those newsboys asked me
the time, and when l told him two O'Clock
the impudent young scoundrel said that
| might sell out for soap-grease at three"
" Don't be in such n hurry" was the ma
licious response, " its only five minutes
past two you've got flfty-avc minutes
more to do il in"

the house of childhood and the implicit
confidence and self abandonment that
belongs to woman, giving up all the
world for the man of her choice when |

ual, yield herself to him for better or
for worse, for richer or poorer, in sick
ness and in health, to love, honor and

LONELINESS OF GOoD TEMPER.-ls
she not the very sparkle and sunshine of
life?-a woman who is happy because
she can't help it-whose smiles even the
coolest sprinkle of misfortune cannot
dampen. Men make terrible mistake
when they marry for beauty, for talents,
or for style. The sweetest wives are
those who possess the magic secret of be-
ing contented under any circumstances.
Rich or poor, high or low, it makes no
difference the bright little fountain OF
joy bubbles up just as musically in their
hearts. Do they live in log cabin, the
fire that leaps up on its humble hearth
becomes brighter than the gilded chan
deliers in an Aladdin palace. Where is
the stream Of life so dark and unpropi-
tious the sunshine of IA happy face falling
on the turbid tide will not awaken an
answering gloam? Why, these joyously
tempered people don't know half the
good they do.

A WIFE WORTH HAVING.

A gentleman who resides few miles
in the country announced his intention of
coming to the city to get few of the
necessaries of life. His good wife, who
evidently reads the papers and knows
what is going on, furnished her "old
man" with the following memorandum,
recognizing the fact that "these men are
so stupid" and always forget what they
are sent after. But here is the seasonable
list of necessaries, which though not in
strictly clerkly form, is nevertheless to
the point, and well calculated to make an
impression on the mind:
Get pound of tea.
And don't forget to go to Browns drug
store and get eight pounds of copperas
and pint of carbolic acid.
Get dollars worth Of loaf sugar.
Bring dozen lemons.
Ifyou have chance you had better
bring bushol of lime.
We ought to have a pound of ground
mustard and some ginger.
Get gallon of coal oil and demijohn
of whisky. BE particular and don't get
them mixed have the coal oil put into
the can, and the whisky in the demUohn.
Ifyou see q nice piece of calico you
might bring me enough for wrapper.
Go to Orynski's and get bottle of his
blackberry syrup.
The flour is out.
Be careful and don't drink any well
water while in town.
BE sure and get bottle of Hamlin's
cholera cure.
We ought to have half dozen knives
and forks fopthe kitchen.
Go to McCleery's and get bottle of
DR., McCabe's blackberry brandy.
Don't bring any green thing homo to
make the children sick.
Don't forget the coal oil and the demi-
john and be sure and keep them separate.
Go to Cheever's and get bottle of
syrup Of blackberry and ginger.
Get pint of cogniac brandy.
Keep away from them nasty ponds
unless they are filled up.
Ifyou see any good disinfcctant bring
some home.
Get few pounds of crackers and rice,
and some oatmeal.
lfyou see the doctor, ask him to give
you prescription to cure cholera.
BE careful and don't break the demi-
john.
Johnny needs pair of shoes.
You had better call at the drug stores
and see who has got the best cholera
medicine.
Now don't forget any of these things,
and keep this list in your hat where you
can find it.
Come home early.
About four o'clock in the afternoon,
the man with the memorandum might
have been seen going out Broadway with
all his horse could draw, his rockaway
resembling the hospital supply train of
an army corps. If the cholera ever goes
out in that direction it will meet with
warm reception. Hannibdi, No., C0,3-

A Boys IDEA OF HEADS Heads are
of different shapes and sizes. They are
full Of notions. Large heads do not nj
ways hold the most. Some persons can
tell just what man is by the shape of
his head. High heads are tho best kind.
Very knowing people are call long-head-
cd. A fellow that won't stop for anything
or anybody is called hot-headed. If he
is not quite 50 bright he is called soft
headed. If he won't be coaxed nor turn
cd they call him pig-headed. Animals
have very small heads. The heads OF
fools slant back. When your head is cut
of you are beheaded. Our heads arc
covered with hair, except bald heads.
There arc barrel heads, heads of sermons
and some ministers used TO have fifteen
heads to one sermon-pin heads, heads of
cattle, as the farmer calls his cows and
oxen head winds, drum heads, cabbage
heads, loggerhcads, come to head, heads
of chapters, head him off, head Of tho
family, and go ahead-but first be suro
you are right but the worst of all heads
are dead heads, who hang around an
editor for free tickets to shows.
