A game was advertised to take place at

tween the Qnicksteps aud A. L. Lawrence
mines, both Of this city. Unfortunately
it rained slightly about noon. and both clubs
made this an excuse for not appearing on
the grounds. The real reason was however r,
that each club WAS miiaid OF defeat and
took this means OF staving it of a little
longer. A better Afternoon for wing will
not prevail Tor q month Of Sundays. The
ground was not very damp, while tile clouds
which obscuied the sun, and the cool breeze
which prevailed, rendered the afternoon
most delightful tor ball purposes.

WAsHINGTON advices state that Com.
missioner Drummond recently made a
very important ruling under the law
providing for the sale Of lands within the
mineral belt. The Constock lode is sit
uated in township II, north of range 81,
east OF Mount Diablo meridian. The
portions Of this township comprised in
sections ~, 20, q and IS were returned
by the Surveyor General as rocky, bar
rem and mineral i'll character. These
portions, however have been claimed by
the Central Pacific Railroad Company
and the State Of Nevada. In order to
procure their patents these parties have
filed evidence to prove that the lands do
not contain any known veins Of gold or
silver or other minerals, and that no val
liable minerals have been found therein.
The Commissioner, however, decides
that when lands have been returned as
mineral in character, it is required that
the burden Of proof shall rest on the
parties desiring to locate them as agri.
cultural lands, and it is not sufficient to
prove that there is no evidence that they
are mineral in character; the parties
must show clearly that the lands are ag.
ricnltural in character. in the case OF
the applications made by the Railroad
Company and the State of Nevada nc
such proof is given, and on the contrary
| it is shown that the lands are barren and
unit for cultivation; they are. therefore
reserved from entry and held as minera
lands Eureka Sentinel.
