EDITORIAL INKLINGS.
Adjournment of the Legislature.
- The Legislature has adopted resolu-
ton to adjourn sine die on tomorrow, Friday,
26th instant. Since the legislature assembled
in November last, it will have been in session
seventy.eight days.
What is Bonanza!
- The word bonanza has been recently
added to our vernacular, and coming on about
the proper time, was not inappropriately ap.
piled to the bill "to liquidate the floating debt
of the State" vetoed last week by Governor
Chamberlain. This bill has been spoken of
and characterized as the "bonanza bill' from
its inception, and perhaps all our readers may
not know the meaning of the word. Literal
ly, the word bonanza means "boon" or "free
Gift" and in the mining districts Of Nevada,
it is used as illustrative Of the treasures of
silver with which her mountains abound.
When vein of remarkably rich ore is found
in unexpected places running not in the pre-.
dicted direction, but diagonally through sew
eral mines, or when the yield of "lode" is
unusually heavy, at comparatively little ex-
pense or trouble, it is called bonanza. And
that is why the word was applied to the bill
which the Governor vetoed.
