submitted the bill for the present year,
remarked that 1t was reduction on that
Of last year o million of dollars, and on
that Of 1871 five million.
Under the present appropriation, as
submitted BY the committee-S1,IS6,0 2e

constitutional law, the contingent ex-
penses Of all the officers being fully al
lowed, every item, however, being cut
down to its lowest limit.
Mr.. Allan stated that the labors of the
committee had been ardu0us, but he
hoped that they were fully repaid by
their knowledge that they had done their
work veil, and he hoped the Legislature
would not add any additional sums, as
in the opinion of the committee every
Just claim had been attended to.

ANOTHER MINERAL LAND BILL.

Congress seems disposed to legislate
still further at the present session
with reference to the mineral lands.
Senator Sargent has done a great deal
of tinkering in this direction and his
chief aim seems to be to throw all of
the mineral bearing lands into the
hands of the capitalists. He belong to
the monopolists. body and soul, and we
are not surprised that he should
attempt to so shape legislation as to
give the capitalists of the country eN-
elusive control of the mines. Poor
men have no rights, in the estimation
of some people, which the rich are
bound TO respect. \ Granger from the
Sucker State, who. perhaps, knows no
more about mining than Governor
Bradley knows about photography,
has introduced a bill which provides
that the miners shall immediately pay
the Government for their mines
through the usual mode of acquiring
patents to the anne This would be a
good thing for the Government, but it
would most certainly work a great
hardship, not to say injustice, to the
poor miner. No man should be COM
PEELED to take out a patent
for a piece of mining ground
until he is satisfied that it is
worth the money which he is re-
quired to pay for it. P~rospectors, the
pioneers of the wilderness, are seldom
in a condition to incur this expense
and under the bill in questisn the fail.
ure to procure a Government title
within a specified time-three months
We believe-works the forfeiture OF his
claim. The effect of the law would be
to give men of means and powerful
corporations a complete monopoly OF
the mineral-bearinS territory, as there
are no restrictions as to the number OF
mines an individual or an association
may purchase from the Government.
The bill is a bad one and should not be
enacted into law.

INFRACTION,

We call the attention of our friends
of the Gold Hill Netrs to the fact that
the Eureka Sentinel is publishing the
advertisement of the kentucky Libra
~ Lottery. We don't believe vet that
the publication car be legally pub
lished.-Measure for Measure.
While disavowing all intention of
being captious, or of attempting to eN-
ercise any censorship Overthe business
of contemporary journals, we firmly
believe that in publishing an adver-
tisement of any rattle or lottery. to be
drawn in or ont of the State, the Sehtf-
mel plainly violates the law of 1873, en-
titled An Act to prohibit Lotteries"
Eureka county is not, so to speak,
within our jurisdiction, the Sentinel Is
not in competition with the -NeWs in
business matters, but we believe it the
duty of the District Attorney Of that
county. as also of the States Attorney
General, to forbid such publications.
Gold HUI -NcWs.
The SENTINEL don't do anything of
the kind. The SENTINEL. under its
present management, has never admit
ted the advertisement of any lottery TO
its columns. While the Gold Hill
Ners and other papers in this State
were misleading tie people with refer
ence to the so-called Nevada State Lot
terry. the SENTINEL. on all occasions.
denounced the scheme as a bare-faced
swindle. Prior TO the late decision of
the Supreme Court of Nevada, the
SENTINEL gave place in its col
umns, for one issue, to the simple an
nouncement CT the postpOnement OF
the drawing of the kentucky Lottery.
and this was done as much in the way
of a news item as anything elSe-some
OF our local readers holding tickets in
the scheme. We have known a great
many people in u time to get rich by
attending strictly to their own business,
and we incline to the opinion that the
same rule may be beneticially invoked
in the case Of newspapers.
