BOGUS LAND ENTRIES. Califor-
mia land-sharks have been sending out
agents through Southeastern Nevada TO
make claim under the State law to the
most valuable agricultural lands. In
some of the valleys north Of Piorhe-
Spring, Shoshone and White river val
leys-section after section has been
claimed in this bogus way. In some
instances the very tracts on which bona
fide settlers had been living for year or
two have been thus claimed. The
foreign land grabbers, knowing the
money advanced to the State would be
refunded if they were prevented from
acquiring title, have laid claim, through
the use of fictitious names, to entire set
Elements in the southern and eastern
portions Of White Pine county, hoping
they would b. allowed to make final
payment and get title before the occu-
pants would awaken to their danger.
Every one of these bogus entries can be
nuilified and cancelled. But the occu-
pants must not sleep on their rights;
they should send in their counter APP
plications without delay. Prominent
among the land-grabbers referred to, is
q well-known real estate man of Santa
Clara county, California.
PIocHE THEATER. - The theater will
tonight undoubtedly be VIII filled to
witness the performance of Messrs.
Lindsey, Mcguire, Lorraine and Miss
Maggie knight. The programme is
varied and attractive, the pieces selected
being THE MILDLY Ashore" and Yankee
Modesty." Miss Maggie will sing and
dance, and Lorraine appears in some of
his best Dutch pieces.
ARE PosTED.-The Shoshones around
Phoebe are well posted on the progress
of the Modoc war and take lively interest
in it. They are probably informed by
miscegenating white men. One dropped
into this Office yesterday afternoon and
enquired for ''the newspaper man," to
ascertain the latest news of Captain
Jack.
No WESTERN MAIL The Hamilton
stage came in yesterday on time, but
brought no mall We heard the snow
blockade on the railroad given as the
reason Of the failure, but how snow
storms east Of Salt Lake can affect the
mails between here aud San Francisco is
more than we can understand
MINING REVIEW. The evidence in the
Raymond Hermes case will probably be
all in next week, after which we shall
resume the publication of regular
Weekly Mining Review. In the mean
time, we will receive and publish with
pleasure all reliable mining items OF
interest.
FROM remarks made by the attorneys
in Court yesterday We are led to believe
the evidence for the defense in the Ray
moDdHermes case will close to-day, as
well as the rehutting testimony Of the
plaintiffs, and that the suit will termi-
nate next week.
