Patents for inventions.

In 1873 three hundred and thirty.
seven patents were, according TO the
Sciemise Press. issued to the residents
of the Pacific Coast, ani the entire
number Issued slnce ISIS to the coast
/. probably not less than 5000. The
Patent Office fees IN each patent are
Rs. the charge Of the solicitors from
$40 To kl0O-in most cases the smaller
sum-and tho average co,t OF models
not les, than $40. The expenses OF
each patent to the Inventor, without
counting the time and money devoted
70 IL before the final model Il CON-
msnced, Is not less than 800 Oh the
average. Besides the expenditure on
pstent., about one.fourth ~ much Is
spent In applications rejected by the
Patent office. The number OF Pacific
Inventors Ia probably q thousand. some
Of them having taken out ne many as a
dozen patents. 1t has been said BY
those who have had much experience
In that line OF business, that ono-thlrd
Of the patents issued are profitable.
and that another third repay the In
yentors for all the expenses; but our
estimate would be that u In twenty
ID profitable. and ono In flve pays ex-
penses. We Imagine IL would puzzle
any person to name ono hundred Pa
citlc Coast patents that have paid over
81 900 net profit each to the inventor /;
but perhaps there are thirty that have
yielded over SIS, 900 each.

the following:
In 1866 tho Comstock mines had been
worked only 400 TO 500 feet down, and
the surface ores were becoming ex-
hausted. aud In 1856 the stock market
attracted little attention; August. OF
that year, was the lowest point ;

Of di.solylng the Board. At the close
of that rear Hale It Norcross. for the

which the leader fought for 4 few

UNSATISFACTORY.

From recent u~tterances BY citizens
Of Carson, and numerous Items In one
OF the daily journals there published
We gather the Idea that the town gov
ernment adopted last Summer, under
the :" Act for the better Government
OF towns and cities,"is not regarded
A. all entirely successful experiment,
or a satisfactory change from the old
style. The citizens OF Eureka were
last summer also emulous OF Car
son In their desire for an approach
to city government. and therefore.
adopted the system provided by the
act aforesaid. They. too, are COM
planning. and = committee Is even nov
engaged In devising some method or
finding some flaw whereby the action
Of the Board OF Commissioners can be
set aside. One OF the things COM
planned Of by EurckanA rs We gather
IRON the Sentinel. 10 the tyranny Of
the Board Of County Commissioners,
In their enactment OF an ordinance
for protection against nro. This ordi-
nance, says tho Sentinei, relates to cyl
inders for stoveplpes. A certain pre-
.cribed form 10 required to be used, no
uatter how safe another style might
be ; there was no discretion LEFT. The
Sentinel sdds, as worthy Of remark,
that under the new arrangement three
fires from ~stovepipes have been report
ed, enc Of which came rear causing
wide spread destruction. The Sentinel
argues at some length against tho pres
ent system. and concludes that In Eu.
reks lt "cannot DO . success, from the
simple fact that IL Is opposed to the
wishes OF = largo majority Of the best
citizens Of the place." We have looked
upon the law under which these town
governments were instituted as a first
rate substitute for an incorporative act;
a, a means Of obtaining many Of the
advantages Of city system with much
less expense. but the experience OF
Car.on and Eureks, rs recently made
known. leads us to doubt the correct
nes OF first Impressions. Yet IL 10
hardly time for either Of the places
named to have fully tried the merits Of
the new System. SIX months Isl short
time for that purpose, and. perhaps al
ter 4 years trial, it will DO found to
work better, 81 least In that time
amendments can be prepared for sub
mission to our next Legislature which
will. po,iibly, correct all evils now
complained Of, or which may DO devel.
oped ere the Legislature meet. But,
Of course, the citizens OF each town best
know their own desires and interests.
