THE PALISADE AND EUREk 4
NARROW.GAUGE.

The people of Phoebe cannot be silent
spectators of the efforts now making to
connect Palisade and Eureka by rail, for
by that connection our people will prac-
tically be brought nearer TO San Fran
cisco, the great center of business and
enterprise on the Pacific coast. 1t is I'M
doubtedly the interest oiPioche to encour-
age any enterprise which viii shorten the
time and lessen the expense of travel be-
tween this place and San Francisco. But
for the fact that nearly all the capital IN
vested in mines here came from san
Francisco the trade of Phoebe would have
gone to st. Louis or Chicago, and would
have been carried by the Utah Sou:hera
Railroad, which is stretching its arms to-
wards Phoebe, and then we would have
been only geographically portion OF the
Pacific coast--not commercially so. We
hope and believe, however, that the con-
struction of the Palisade and Eureka road
will not dampen the ardor OF the railroad
men OF Utah, for they will now compre-
bend the necessity Of pushing the Utah
Southern this way as fast As possible.
The narrow-gauge from Palisade, of
course, will not stop at Eureka; the adj
visibility of pushing it on to Phoebe will
suggest itself to capitalists. 1t will be
but few years then before the Utah
Southern and the Palisade road vii
form junction at or neal
Phoebe, which will give Us two
outlets by rail, and add vastly to th'
convenience of the people and the gener
al prosperity of this long-isolated anc
much neglected portion of country. Th'
White Pine News learns that the worl
on the Palisade road is being pushed en-
ergetically, and continues:
Mr.. Woodruff is ON the ground, de
voting himself to the undertaking, ant

By all means let US have that autobi-
ography which Boss Tweed threatens to
publish. The Boss is said to have kept
an account current with the politicians
who fawned upon him when he wore
purple and fine linen, and who now turn
up their Kickerbocker noses ut the felon
in striped clothes. The Boss book
would sell, and he owes it to posterity,
whom he has saddled with an enarmous
Indebtedness, to tell all about how he
robbed the rich city of New York, and
reduced its treasury to the condition of O

Boss pleanty of stationery, and leisure to

JOSIAH QuINcy's cheap transportation
association is preparing for the Con-
gressional campaign. 1t will make a
strong representation of the evils and
abuses of the present conduct of the rail-
roads, and will propose National freight
railway, to be built by the Government
and to be used ny whomsoever wishes at
fixed toll. This, it is claimed, will
secure economy of transportation. and
will remove from the State Legislatures
more corruption than it will occasion to
the General Government. The associa-
ton has called a convention to meet in
New York three days, beginning January
IA. The New York State auxiliary asso-
citation of the same'character has issued
an address demanding several reforms,
such as the establishment of railroad
commission, the enactment of general
law forbiddins determinations in rates,
consolidation of parallel lines, the giving
of passes, etc.

The circular Of Commissioner Drum
mond, issued lately, contains some in
structions which are of considerable in
terest to prospectors. We quote:
The Act of Congress of May 10, 1872,
expressly provides that the location
must be distinctly marked on the ground,
so that the boundaries can be readily
traced, and THAT all records of mining
claims hereafter made shall contain the
name or names Of the locators, the date
of the location, aud such description
of the claim or claims, located 10y some
natural object or permanent monument,
as will identify the claim"
These provisions OF the law must be
strictly complied with in each case to en-
title the claimant to survey and patent,
and therefore shonld n claimant under II
location made subsequent to the passage
of the Mining Act of May 10, 1872, who
has not complied with said requirements
in regard to making the location upon
the ground and recording the same, APP
ply for n survey, You will decline 10
make it.
The only relief for party under such
circumstances will be TO make IL new To-
cation in conformity to law and regula-
ton, as no case will be approved and
patented by this Office unless these and
all other provisions of law are suhstan-
tally complied with.

Hny 10 Drive.

There is a point of prime Importance in
driving any horse, but especially young one !;
II is the way you handle the reins. Most driv-
ers oyerdrive. They attempt too much and,
in so doing distract Or hamper the horse
Now and then you find horse with such a
vicious gait that his speed is got from him by
the most artificial processes, but such horses
are fortunately rare, and hence the style OF
manapement required cannot become general.
The true way is to let the horse drive himself,
the driver doing little but directing him, and
giving him that confidence which horse alone
eets Himself Wien he feels that guide and a
friend is back of him. The most vicious and
inexcusable style of driving is that which SO
many drivers adopt viz, Wrapping the lines
around either hand, and pulling the horse back
ward with all their might and main, so that
the horse, in point of fact pulls the weight
back of him with his mouth, and not with his
breast and shoulders. This they do under the
impression that such a dead pull is needed in
order to "steady" the horse. This method Of
driving regard as radically and superlatlvely
wrong. 1t would tax the ingenuity OF nun
dred fools to invent a worse one. Ihc TACT IS,
with rare exceptions there should never be any
pull put upon the horse at all. A steady pres
sure is allowable, probably advisable; but any
ching beyond this has no justification in nature
or reason; for nature suggests the utmost pos,
sible freedom of action of head, body, ana
limbs in order that the animal may attain lne
highest rate of speed; and reason certainly
forbids the supposition that by the bltS ana IioI
the breast collar, the horse is to draw lhe
weight attached to it. In speeding my norses
7 yery seldom grasp the lines with both hands
when the % road Is straight and free from obstruc-
tions. TONS The lines are rarely steadily taut but
held held in easy pliaucy, and used chiefly to shift
tho hit in the animals mouth and by this mo-
ton communicate courage and confidence to
him. I find that by this method my horses
break less and go much faster than when drly-
Ell by men who put the old-fashioncd steady
pull upon them-From Mr. Murrays Book on

A Home of Ones Own.

The following are the opening paragraphs
in new book, "The Home Guide" now in
press, and soon to be issued by the Beverly
Publishing Company, of Chicago. The work
is compendium of useful and practical infor.
nation, and will, no doubt meet with very
large sale.
"Human existence implies the necessity of
food, raiment and shelter. A habitation is
scarcely less important to life than the ques.
ton what shall ye eat and wherewithal shall
ye be clothed p Happiness, in civilized
countries largely depends upon the comforts
and conveniences with which home may be
invested.
"E"ery man in this country, especially if
he has family, should possess a home of his
own; and generally this may be secured IN
few years by industry, frugality and prudence.
In large towns and cities, the money expended
for rent by persons engaged in ordinary avoca-
tions will, in a few years, purchase modest
home To be dependent upon landlords year
after year for habitation is often inconvenent
and unpleasant besides being very poor econ
omy. There are many veXations and annoy
anccs, which few renters escape, attending their
experiences as tenants of other peoples houses
and tenements, while the burdens of taxation
for municipal purposes fall mainly upon the
tenants; as landlords charge the taxation I'M
posed for public Improvements on them TO the
rent-roll, and it therefore comes out OF the
pockets of the tenants.
"In house of his own, one feels not only
that he is less dependent than when occupy
ing tenement belonging to another, but there
IS an incentive to improve and bcautify homel
to make it attractive and thus add to its value
a motive not often present when man lives in
a rented tenement
"From every point of view it is advisable for
a man of family, when he has found a perma-
nent place of residence, to determine to pro-
vide a home for those dependent upon him.
Whether in town or the country, this is ad-
visable, and the reasons for it are so obvious
that it is scarcely necessary to refer to then.'
