Every year increases the POPULAR.
ty ofthis valuable Hair Preparation;
which is due to merit alone. We
can assure our old patrons that it is
kept fully up to its high standard;
and it is the only reliable and perfect
ed preparation for restoring GRAY
OR FADED HAIR to its youthful color,
making it soft, lustrous, and silken.
The scalp, by its use, becomes white
and clean. It removes all cruptions
and dandruff, and, by its tonic prop
critics, prevents the hair from falling
out, as il stimulates and nourishes
the hair-glands. BY its use, the hair
grows thicker and stronger. In
badness, it restores the capillary
glands to their normal vigor, and
will create a new growth, except in
extreme old age. 1t is the most eco.
nomiCal HAIR DRESSING ever used,
as it requires fewer applications,
and gives the hair a splendid, glossy
appearance. A. A. Hayes, MD,

1t seems that three hundred and eighty nine
dollars 1880 Of the above amount was
drawn by the County Commissioners and
District Attorney to pay their expenses to
California AID back, on pretense of county
tusiIess.
Wtije we are satisfied the above demands
were lust in point of fact, yet they are evil
IDENTIFY a violation Of Section II. Volume of
the Compiled Laws OF the State of Nevada,
which reads as follows:
1.-The State Treasurer and Controller. the
several county, city or town corporations,
officers of the State are hereby expressly pr,
hibited from purchasing or selling, or in any
manner receiving to their own use or benefit,
or to the use and benefit Of any person or per-
sons whatever, any state, county or city war
rants, script, md,rs. demands, claim or
claims. or other vidences Of indebtedness
against the Stat or any county, city or town
thereof. and all. such officer, for each and
every offense 30 convicted OF, shall be punish
ell by fine not less than five hundred nor more
than one thousand dollars, and shall be i'm
prisoned in the State Prison for term not
less than two months nor more than two
years. Duch conviction shall operate as for
fixture Of Office, and the party convicted shall
forever be disqualified from holding any Office
of honor, profit or trust in this State"
We also find that the County Commissioners
have awarded the County printing to Myers <
Hill. proprietors OF the SILVER STATE. at .
fraction over treble the amount that Waldo Il
Julien proprietOrs of the Humboldt Register
proposed to perform the same labor for: il
being equally true that the rates now received
by Myers Hill are lower than the county
printing has been done heretofore. This does
not warrant the County Com missioners in Civ.
ing the contract to the highest bidder.
We find that the Commissioners are in
the habit Of drawing nearly all their
years salary the first two terms Of
each year, thereby making themselves
preferred creditors Of the county. And
In case OF death or resignation their success
sors will be obliged to serve the remainder
of the unexpired term without pay. This sys-
tenn we do not deem for the best interests Of
the county to establish Us q precedent. We
also find for the present year. although but
little more than three months have passed,
tho present Commissioners have drawn the
following sums as per diem and mileage:
Commissioner Clark. $500 90
Commissioners Nichols ................ 1872 30
Commissioner Borland. 422 40
This is equally true in the acts Of our former
Commissi ,ners.

AN TO THE MINING
ACTS.

A clause in the Act of Congress to
encourage the development of the min
ing resources by the United States,
made it obligatory upon mine owners to
expend a certain amount in labor or
improvements annually upon lead to
maintain possessory title to the same.
This provision was considered as work
ing hardship to persons running tun-
nels to develop their leads, as no
amount of tunpeling performed off the
ledge complied with the requirements
of the Act TO remedy this difficulty
Congress amended the fifth section OF
the mining Act Of 1872. The amend
nent which was approved March ii,
1875, provides that when person or
company has or may run tunnel tor
the purpose of developing a lode or
lodes, owned by said person or COM
pany, the labor so performed shall be
considered as having been expended on
said lode or lodes, and such person or
company shall not be required to per-
form work on the surface in order to
hold the same as required by said Act.
The Commissioner of the General
Land Office in circular calling atten-
ton to the amendment, says that by
this legislation the provisions OF the
original mining act are SO modified in
regard to the expenditure on mining
claims, that money which has or may
be expended in running Tunnel for
the purpose of developing one or more
lodes shall be considered as expended
on such lodes. This ends d vexed
question, and is decided improve
ment on the original Act, which
through carelessness or ignorance COM
pallad mine owners to expend ten
dollars worth of labor annually on each
one hundred feet of their ledge', even
though they We're steadily running tun-
mel for them development.

c. A. Kingsbury writes as follows in
Forest and Stream of bath III the
Dead Sea: tt
Reaching at length this most re
markable of all seas and lakes on
our globe, we prepared to AXE a bath
and such o bath can hardly expect
ever to take again. / had previously
bathed in numerous seas, lakes aud
rivers, but never did I ENJOY such a
bath as this. The specific gravity of
the water is such. from its holding III
solution so large a portion of salts
(twenty-six and half per cent? that
one floats upon its surface like cork.
At the time there was only q gentle
ripple upon the sea. aud being q good
swimmer | at once struck out into deep
water soon found ont that could
not oulv swim and float with wonderful
ease, bat that / could actually walk in
the water. sinking only to the armpits.
Discovering this fact, made for the
shore, and taking Dr. G., one of our
party, who could not swim, 10y the
hand, led him into the sea where the
water was many fathcms deep. At
first he was. quite reluctant to follow
me, but he soon gained confidence on
finding there was 10 danger of sinking,
and he enjoyed the novel bath as much
rs if he bad been an expert swimmer.
Should the bsther allow the water to
get into his eyes or mouth he would
suffer considerable abatement in his en-.
joyment. on account of its extremely
salt, bitter and irritating nature. No
fish can live in this sea, but various
kinds of duck abound here at certain
seasons of the year. The water was
as clear as ordinary sea water, its tenn
perature was agreeable and it had an
oily feeling. and altogether its action
on the surface of the body was such as
to develop those pleasurable sensations
pertaining to the sense of touch. accom-
panied by the most delightful exhilara-
tion. OF all the baths in the world
give me bath in the Dead Sea.
