In accordance with a petition of a
number of citizens of BeOwawe, Pals
ade School District was divided by the

JUMPING SrREETs.-We understand
that parties have located upon Silver
street at its intersection with Main from
the west, for the purpose of devoting
the same to building purpose. There
have been several attempts of this same
character the past season me it Is now
high time that the things was brought
to a close. All of our streets have been
declared public highwaysa All THAT they
should be maintained as such does not
admit of an argument. Persons have
precisely the same right to jump the
most frequented portions OF Main or
Buel streets a. TO locate upon n of
the less important cross streets. Every
thing of this character is in total viola
ton Of the law and the authorities owe
it tOthose whom they have been chosen
to serve to see that i~nterlopers are not
allowed to get away with another inch
of ground set apart for street purposes.
We understand that District At orney
Merrill will at once proceed against the
parties who have taken possession of
Silver street. This il right, and we
hope that he will keep his eyes open
for all similar trespassers in the fu-
ture. Our cross streets are none too
numerous as mapped out, and further
encroachments from wi atever source
must not be tolerated.
THE STERLING INCORPORATION. -
From Adam Hall, just returned from
San Francisco, We learn some particu.
lars concerning his new incorporation
under the name of the Sterling Mining
Company. The capital stock is fixed
at 5, 900 200, divided into $4,000 shares
OF the par value of 800 each. The
properly w five locations, to wit:
the Sterling, $40 feet; Elise, 800 feet;
Diligent, 500 feet; Lone Tree, 400 feet;
and the Tape. 400 feet. All OF these
claims are situated in close proximity
to each other and are supposed to he
about one and the same thing, the diff
erent locations being made on spurs of
the Elise, which is considered the
main vein of the group. Mr.. Hall
tells us that ne will go n little slow for
the present but expects to begin to
crowd operations in early Spring. The
property is favorabty situated on Pros
pect niountain, shows well in good ore
and bids fair under vigorous working
to assuine rank as one of the paying
mining ventures of the district.
GRAND JURY.-rhe grand Jury for
the present term Of the District Courl
WAS impaneled yesterday, and after

mittees adjourned until next Thursday

gated As fully as they should be will

that the new hoisting works erected
last Summer by the Eureka CONSOLE
dated Company at the Bell shaft, are to
be removed to the Lawton shaft, W where
they can be rendered more useful than
in their present position. Grading has
been commenced in the rear of the
