CRoQUET. is a remarkable
winter. as every body is aware.
Recently We noticed the budding
out OF cottonwood trees, under the
delusion, as one might suppose, that
it was spring. AS fitting comport
To these conditions we yesterday saw
u party of ladies playing at croquet
on the grounds OF Mr.. J. NJ. Nc
Ginnis. And this, mind, at the very
close of the year, when we usually
have a snow visitation or its accom-
paniment or corallory ofinhospltable
rain and disagreeable mud. Here,
too, we have the roads more dusty
than in any preceding month OF
the year, and grass sprouting in
warm hooks and comfortable ravines.
We hear by telegraph that all indi-
cations of n storm have passed away
in California, and So we shall per-
haps have a continuance of the pres
ent clear sky and warm air till after
New Years, at least. Our climate is
always more or less in sympathy
with that of California.

Amending The Mining Laws.

A bill is now before Congress to
amend the mining laws. so that
when any person. association or
corporation may own adjoining or
adjacent claims in any mining dis
trict said owner or owners may in.
clude in the application for a patent
all of said claims, provided that the
amount expended for labor and i'm.
provements on any one or more of
said claims shall equal in the aggre.
gate the full amount now required
to be expended on each separately.
The bill further provides that after
an application for patent is filed.
and pending the issuance of the
patent, no further labor on said
claims ehall be required to hold
them. This is an important change,
and the passage of the bill will be
of great benefit to mine owners, at
least in outside districts. At pres
cnt the law requires that an ex-
penditure Of five hundred dollars
shall be made on each mining claim
of fifteen hundred feet or less before
. patent can be obtained for the
same, and that pending the issuance
of the patent not less than one hun.
dred dollars shall be expended an
nually in labor or improv -ments
IN each claim located since May,
1872. and on claims located prior to
that time an expenditure of ten
dollars for each one hundred feet
in length along the vein. Should
the present bill become q law 1t
will enable persons owning two or
more extensions adjoining each
other on vein. on which in the
aggregate five hundred dollars have
been expended in labor or improve
ments, to obtain patents for ALL
Silver State.

DIsTRIcT Court. - The case of
Smith VS.. Boisot was on trial before
Judge Seawell Of the Third District
Court on Wednesday. A decision
was not rendered. This case In
wolves the title to certain property on
Main street occupied by E. w. Gowen
and A. B. Stewart. We understand
that certain errors were found in
Smiths papers which the opposing
attorney used to the detriment of his
case. and that VIM. Rogan, a party
in some way to the action, is likely
to be greatly benefited by the same.
As to Boisot's prospects in the suit
We are uniformed.

Orville Bossermap, boy twelve
years of age, at Vale de las Viejas,
California, was accustomed to exer-
else on II swing, and, standing on q
box, would turn the rope under his
armpits and throw himself forward
with all his strength SO as to make
the swing rise to the highest possible
height. A few days ago his mother
found him dead, hanging by the neck.
1t Is supposed tue ropes had slipped
from under his arms and caught him
by the neck.

SAGE BRUsH-The universal sage
brush. which fortunately grows
luxuriantly in nearly all the valleys
of the State, is now being brought
to town by the carload and sold by
the cord for fuel. In the vicinity
of Rose Creek. some twelve miles
southwest from town, on the rail-
road, the brush grows to o height
of five or six feet, and from four to
eight inches in diameter. This is
chopped close to the ground and
stripped of its branches. after which
it is loaded on the cars and brought
to town. where it ellis readily for
fuel. and is worth for that purpose
almost as much as cedar wood

All the boys and girls are now at
tracted by the vast display of toys
and holiday presents exhibited at
Governs. They are saving up money
for purchases for Christmas presents
and are already enthusiastic over what
they are to buy. This is due to the fact
that the great variety of holiday ar
ticles that appear in a perfect wilder
ness about Governs store attracts
general juvenile attention.

"A DAD hOAD.-A recent number OF
The Virginia Chronicle contained the
following with reference to the new
wagon road from Dayton south to
Columbus: "Some months ago the
citizens Of Lyon county, with u view
to secure the trade of that portion OF
Esmeralda county contiguous to the
mining districts of Walker River,
Teal's Marsh, Belleville and Colum-
bus, raised the sum of $4,000 by pri-
vate subscription and donated it to
one Holmes, who. In consideration
therefor, promised to open aud keep
in repair good wagon road from
Dayton To Mason's Valley; the Board
OF Commissioners of Lyon county
also erected. at an expense of s,me
5000, u Howe truss bridge over the
Carson river at Dayton. The road
above referred to WAS duly opened
for travel, but il has evidently not
been kept in good condition. since
the stages cannot pass over it: and
ahe citizens OF our eighboring coun-
ty are thus out of pocket in a pretty
round sum-" We have only to add
to this that the District Attorney of
Lyon county has been Instructed by
the Commissioners to commence suit
against the successor of Holmes he
having disposed of his interest in the
,road-to compel him to fulfill the re-
,qulrements of the charter with re-
.spect to maintaining Il good passahle
highway. The commissioners have
ample power iu the premises, and
they propose to exercise II.
A LAripARY.-We have heretofore
made brief reference to the doings OF
Mr.. Barrelett, the jeweler whose pace
of business is about opposite this
office, with reference to Improvements

aud already finished. These comprise
all the requirements Of lapiiary
and Nh accompanying arrangement
for reducing fragments of the stones
operated On that may contain valu-
able mixtures Of gold and silver. Re
Gently some quartz specimens from
the bonanza have been worked up
into sets aud rings, to order. for per-
sous who wanted them as souvenirs.
In getting the stones cut in San Fran
cisco, Mr.. Barrelett WAS Obliged to
suffer quite = loss, as all the broken
picces, ~ we'll as all the parts cut
away from the valuable specimens of
quartz, were retained by the lapida-
ries. These quartz specimens, being
generally the richest pieces the mi
ners can fluid, are worth often at the
rate Of many thousands nj dollars 4
ton. 1t is in order to work up REM
nants OF such pieces that An amalga-
mating pan has been put in. Silver
quartz, bearing black sulphurets and
pure gold, is not so pretty as gold
quartz, and is a good deal harder To
polish. So tar as our observation
goes, 1t is something new to use it in
the manufacture of jewelry.

New YEAR's SERMON We are
informed by Rev. Mr.. Jenvey that he
is going to deliver sermon on Sun
day evening next at Grace Church
prepared with reference to the be-
ginning of the new year. 1t will
unquestionsbly be worth going to
hear, as Mr.. Jenvey's ability is
generally recognized. He is also SO
far advanced in his views and has
had SO much experience with prac-
teal affairs that his sermons are
quite free from that Objectionable
rigidness too often found with the
clergy. The choir of Grace Church
has recently been reorganized, and
good singing may now be expected.

SrocKs.-The leading subject Of
conversation and anxiety in San
Francisco is the stock market aud
the probability as to what will be-
come of it. The bulls charge the
decline upon the bears as the result
of a grand preconcerted plan to
burst up marginal holders and
bring the control of the market into
their hands. The bears advance a
counter charge to the effect that the
bonanza is petering and it is i'm
possible to keep prices so high
above where intrinsic value would
place them as they have been.
Those who know all about the con-
dition of the bonanza are as silent
os Sphinxes. There ia o particular
significance to that silence that
holders Of shares may interpret
variously. The most plausible in
depreciation is that there has been
formed powerful union of forces
to depreciate values and reap the
benefit. This is the way it looks to
great many. Time. which proves
all things. will prove the truth or
falsity of this also, perhaps. Mean
while those who are lucky enough
to have their margins secure ought
to be happy. in view Of tbs many
wrecks about them.

An Unfortunate Creditor.

Mr.. John BENEFITS is an uufor-
tunate creditor. His misfortune
in that respect has more than once
been demonstrated. I.ately, how.
ever. 1t has appeared in more than
commonly convincing light. J. j.
Peters. an involuntary bankrupt,
was indebted to Mr.. Bennetts-or
rather to Benefits l. Bro.-in the
sum Of between five and six hun.
dred dollars After the Benefits
attachment was put on, San Fran
cisco liquor firm sent representa-
tive up who, seeing nothing left for
his claim, forced the estate into
bankruptcy. His claim was for DO
tween two and three thousand dol
lars Mr.. BENEFITS was appointed
assignee by the Register, and went
through the usual formalities of ad-
vertising, giving bonds for the
faithful performance of his duty,
etc. A few days ago he made u
hnal settlement with the Register
and was discharged. Upon figuring
up how he stood after the whole
routine had been gone through
with he found that, instead of having
a few dollars to apply toward liqui-
dating his claim, he was about fifty
dollars out of pocket. OF course
none of the other creditors got a
cent either. 1t was all consumed in
the costs of proceedings. The
property attached was the furniture
and fixtures Of the Bonanza Saloon.

RACE RIOT IN PENSACOLA.
Two NEen Said 10 Have Been
Killed.

From a gentleman who has just ar
rived in the city we learn that a serious
riot occurred in Pensacola, Fa., on Mon
day last, growing out of the election for
Mayor. 1t appears that matters pro-
gressed smoothly enough until the count
ing of the votes. Then, our informant
states, the negroes demanded that Com
missioner Dunkies should count anumber
of ballots which it had been decided must
be thrown out. This he refused to do,
when he was fired upon and almost in
stantly killed.
A negro who sided with Dunkies was
also killed.
Quite fight then ensued, the whites
ranging themselves on the side of order,
and doing everything to suppress the diff
ficulty. The Pensacola and Escambia
Guards were called out, but when oul
informant left, the trouble seemed tt
have been quieted.
