SHOULD HAVE A TOWN GOVERN
MENT.

Phoebe is conceded to be the second
town in the State in Point of population
and wealth, and yet its inhabitants have,
so far, been content to get on without
town government. Whether it is the
fear of mourning additional taxation, or
from a general apathy on the subject,
that our citizens have not moved in the
matter since the passage of the bill by
the last Legislature authorizing all towns
in the State to incorporate, we are not
prepared to say; but are inclined to the
latter belief. At the time we called pub
lie attention to the subject last summer,
the movement was objected to on the
ground that as no tax had been levied
for the support OF a town Government
at the time the taxes were levied for
State and county purposes, as the law
requires, and would therefore have to be
abandoned until another year. Unless
it is desired that the matter be post
ponei for another year, or indefinitely,
steps should be taken at once to inaugur-
ate town government.
There is probably no town in the State
where the streets and alleys need the APP
pIication OF a strong and vigorous local
authority to put them in even passable
condition, as those of Phoebe, and yet
without some such powers as are vested
in town governments the present condl,
ton of affairs will continue through an
other season as they were the last. The
town law gives the Board of County Com
missioners complete authority over the
regulation OF streets and alleys; power to
condemn property for town purposes
control over the Fire Department and fire
apparatus; power to regulate the storage
of powder; to abate nui5ances, and to dc
and perform many other acts which
would tend to promote the general wei
fare OF the inhabitants OF the town which
are at present totally and wholly neg
lected for want OF competent authority
anywhere vested,
In addition to the many local adyant
ages to be derived from a town govern
ment, the fact that such action had beef
taken would tend to give increased con
fidence abroad, as it would show that the
citizens of Phoebe, who ought to be the
b,St judges Of the future prospects Of thu
place had an abiding faith in the perma
hence OF the camp. If anything is to b'
done the present year, movement should
be made at an early day so, that the tint
for levying tsx for town purposes will
not be allowed to pass this year as it dit
last.

A New MINING LAW PRoposED.-Hon.
j. d. Ward, member of Congress from
Chicago, introduced bill in the House
OF Representatives, December 10, which,
if it should become law, will be of the
utmost Importance to all mining COM
munities on the Pacific coast 1t pro-
vides that all persons who have located
mines upon the public domain, whether
lode or placer claims, shall within one
year from the passage OF the Act apply
for patent for such claim. and if no ad-
verse claim be filed, shall within three
months from the date Of such application
make proof and payment at the rate of
$40 per acre for the surface lands en-
braced in the claim. 1t also provides
that whore applications have already
been made for patents, and no adverse
claim has been filed, final proof and pay
ment must be made within six months
from the date of the passage of the Act.
A failure to comply with the above con-
ditions, will work a forfeiture of the
claim, which will become subject to re-
location. The first result of the passage
of this law would be to plunge the mill
ing districts of this coast in extensive
and costly litigation, as wherever appli-
cation was made for a patent, it would
compel all adverse claimants to come
into court at once and assert their claim,
or forever after hold their peace
This disadvantage, however, would be
but temporary, as once the disputes
about present locations were adjusted
in the courts, future litigation would be
avoided and additional security given to
titles to mining propert!. In making
future locations with the necessity of OBJ
tanning patents pressing the locators,
proper precauton would be taken to so
fix and maintain the landmarks and mon
uments on the ground that but little risk
would be run of adverse claims appear
ing before patent was obtained. The
chief object of the passage of this law
seems to be to raise additional revenue
for the support Of the Government.

TIE BREATH OF THE NEVADA
UPAS.

Billy Anderson, of White Pine county,
was over in Virginia City few days ago,
and while there furnished the Virginia
Enterprise with the following remarka.
able statement concerning the mineral
poisons which load the air of Eureka,
from the fumes of furnaces in that yicin-
ity. The Enterprise says.
Billy Anderson, the well-known law
yer, who is now in this city and who for
some years (since 1861 has been resi-
dent of Eastern Nevada, gives a startling
account of the effects of the poisonous
fumes from the smelling furnaces there
in use. He speaks particularly Of the
town Of Eureka, where these furnaces are
very numerous, and are scattered through
out the village. He says that in APP
preaching the place smell resembling
that of garlic can be detected at dis
lance of at least three miles. Often the
smoke and fumes hang over the town in
clouds so dense as to resemble London
fog, and the smell of the poisonous gases
is almost uncomfortable. Kittens and
puppies die soon after coming into the
world, and it is found impossible TO rear
these animals in the place. A sheet of
white paper laid in the open air and left
over night will be covered by a thick
white crust. The arsenical fumes,
mingled with those of lead and other
minerals, more or less effect the health
of all who reside in the town. Some are
but slightly affected, while others suffer
severely. The poisonous atmosphere OF
the place not only effects the physical
but also the mental health OF many,
causing them to become morose, nervous
and, in some instances, wandering in
mind.
To this the Eureka Sentinel makes the
following response in which the distin-
guished Granger is handled rather rough
ly, as we think he deserves to be.
The above remarkable story is from the
Virginia Enterprise of recent date. II
Billy Anderson actually made that state
ment, we are of the opinion that his
"mental health" about that time was not
exactly what it should have been. A
more insane Islander never found its way
into the columns Of newspaper. The
general health of Eureka is as good as
that of any other town in the State. An
occasional case of lead collie, )" seldom
proving fatal, among the men employed
around the furnaces, is reported; but az
a rule, the people who reside in Eureka
enjoy excellent health. Our physicians
complain that it is distressingly healthy
at all seasons Of the year. @
