that where goods are imported under

without appraisement, to an interior
port, they are liable to duty under the

an act passed subsequent thereto, but
before their arrival at the interior port.
This decision may involve change in
some important decisions heretofore
made under the act Of 1870.

THE FIRE QUESTION.

We promised our readers, in our last
issue, to make some suggestions tending
to protecting our town in case of sud-
den visit from that element which, but
a short time since, laid in ruins one of
the busiest marts of the State. In that
confagration, the great drawback was
an inadequate suppls of water. It's
related of the ship-wreekod mariner as
exclalming " Water, oceans of water,
but not drop to drink - Apply that
to ourselves, IN case of a fire, and we
could bitterly exclaim: Mountains with
water; river of water; not a drop for
the fire - Without a good supply OF
water, a fire, augmented by such winds
as at times visit US, would lay our thriv-
ing town in ashes in SO short time
that We could hardly realize it. The G.
2. r. Il. have, in Utah, pipes running
underground for four miles, conveying
water to three large tanks, furnishing
more than the Company required. The
citizens utelize6 the excess by laying
pipes from the tanks through the prin-
cipal streets, thereby obtaining supply
sufficient for all neceeities. Now, why
could we not make the same arrange
ments with the Q. P. r. r. Co. by which
We could build "a tank and catch all
the surplus water. Then. connecting
pipes with the tank, extend them down
the main street with plugs at intervals,
say one i'll front of the courthouse, one
i'll front of Huber IL Wiley's saloon or
Levy's corner, one below the postoffice
and another at the Winnemucca Hotel.
Either of these points could be reached
and prove most available. If our 60
ahead citizens were to take this matter
in hand they could make it success.
These suggestions are made for the
| public good. Not to discourage the
hook and ladder company, which has
our highest endorsement, but We fear
it would be case of brave men fighting
against fearful odds.

The death of ]. Ross Browne, at Oak
land, is announced by telegraph. His
illness was of short duration, termina-
ting fatally in few hours. Deceased
was at one time quite noted charac-
ter, particularly as a newspaper cor
respondent. His pen-picturesof life in
Washoe, away back in the early days
of the Comstock, were so extravaganza,
not to say graphic, as to win for him
great notoriety, especially on the Pa
citic Coast. In his palmiest days he
was perhaps above the average of de-
scriptive writers. though little given
10 the popular sin of all Eastern cor
respondents. of OVERRIDING everything
connected with border life in the " Far
West" He held. we believe, at one
time some sort of commission under
the Government relating to the min
eral lands, and travelled extensively
through the States and Territories west
of the Rrocky Mountains. We don't
know that his name was ever linked to
anything of especial benefit to man
kind. and yet it is possible that he ac-
complished quite as much good as evil
during his lifetime. His earthly pill
grimage is put down III the dispatches
at 81 years. and if he had never been
guilty of the objectionable abomina-
ton of parting his name in the middle
we would be prepared to say peace to
his ashes; but the man who deliber-
ately skaters our nerves in that dia-
bolical manner can never hope to get
frst-class " send off from this end of
the line. However. Browne, for ought
we know, may have been the prince of
good fellows and his death great pub
lie calamity; if so. and we find it ont,
we shall not hesitate to drop tear
along with the rest of the mourners.
1t is the :" j. Ross, and not the man,
that we decline to done the weeds for.

OREANA, December 8. 1875.
EDITOR SILVER STATE: In relation to an
article by Luther A. Buckner beg leave to
make the following statement: On the 2Oth Of
August, 1872, $50 feet Of the Montezuma Ledge,
in Arabia Mining District, was relocated on
account OF non compliance with the District
Mining Laws in regard to working ASSESS
ments, for each year since that time the
locators have faithfully W rked the required
amount OF assessment WORK, and have held
peaceabic possession until the month Of
November last. when, for consideration OF
5000 gold coin and verbal understanding of
further remuneration in case of a sale of the
ground to outside parties the locators sold
to NJ TORY the $50 feet of Montezuma ground
II now seems that l.. A. Buckaer does not
wish the ground to be owned by II TORY.
He consequently puts man 10 wofk, who
says work is not So much an object as cola,
and acknowledges that coin is not as much an
object as grub, and in less than one month
claims to have worked $500 worth Of assess.
ment work. III the first place the work ON the
ground referred to has been done every year,
while it is probable that General L. A. Buck.
ner may not have done the work required
by law on his own ground; and in the second
place would like to have any disinterosted
person go and see the work done by General
Buckner and state If it is not a little extravi-
CANT, to say the least in charging 5000 for the
work performed. ] will close this letter by
stating to General Buckner that his notice re-
fers to the ground now owned By NJ. Tory,
and that If there is any re-embulsing to be
done He must pay it to tins undersigned.
