The Supreme Court on Location.

The Nevada Supreme Court, in the
case of the Golden Fleece Gold and
Silver Mining Company VS.. the Cable
Consolidated Gold and Silver Mining
Company, held that proper con-
structlon of the Act of Congress con-
fines the location to portion of the
ledge covered by the surface bouLd-
aries, so that if the ledge should be
found to cross the surface, the loca-
tor will be limited to the number of
feet actually within the location;
that is, if, in claim 600 feet wide
and 1900 long, the ledge should cross
the claim at right angles the claimant
will take only 600 feet, instead of
1900 feet. This view of the law ne
cessitates the locator desiring to ac-
quire a right to 1900 feet, to ascer-
tain, before making the location, the
exact direction of the ledge, and to
have his surface boundaries include
the ledge for the whole number of
feet, otherwise that portion of the
ledge not included will be lost to
him,

GALENA ORp.-Says the Carson
Tribune: We were shown ny Mr.. ia
cob TobIiner piece of galena ore,
taken from the Humboldt mine on
the opposite side of the Carson river
from Empire and near to the Bis
marck. 1t is the heaviest piece of
ore we ever lifted; in fact, it seems
as il 1t was all lead. The ore assays
from 60 to 70 per cent. in lead aud
from go to rs per cent. in silver. We
presume it cannot be worked by any
other method than smelling. There
is large body of the same metal in
that locality, as the operations in the
Bismarck have proven. We hope
that Mr.. Tobr:ner and the old c,ti.
zens who have stuck to the Bismarck
may be rewarded for their faith in
the future Of the mine.

BURNED FOR ADULTERY. - The
Reno Journal tells the sad fate Of a
squaw named Mary, who left her hus-
band, Sam, to live with a brave
named Jim. About fifty Piutes, Gin
GLIDING several squaws, escorted her
to the hills just back of Washoe Lake
last Saturday evening, where, safe
from Caucasian intrusion, they made
a huge pile of sagebrush, and after
tying her firmly in the middle of it,
set it on fire. Then they commenced
a war dance around the scene of Gre
nation in which all joined except
Jim-Sam being very fierce In his
leaps and yells. The screams of
Mary added to the zest of the dance.
Jim meantime sat quietly by and
seemed an Indifferent spectator to
what was gong on. When the body
of the unfortunate Mary had been re-
duccd to ashes Sam expressed him
self as satisfied and they dispersed.
The warriors threaten their squaws
with similar fate if they are not to Il
little more discrete in their conduct"

DDEN Deaf yesterday
morning the many friends of Patrick
Carroll were shocked at the news OF
his death. He visited Silver City
Oh Wednesday afternoon in apparent
good health. The cause Of death is
said to be cholera morbus. Mr.
Carroll has long resided in this
place, working for considerable
part of the time as amalgamaior at
the Trench mill. He was about to
accept a similar position at the Peta.
luna mill in lower Gold Hill. One
brother lives In this place.

To PRE-EMPToRs.-A notice from
one of the lend offices contains the
following: "The life time of filing
under the presumption law is thirty
three months from the date of settle
ment and the pre-emptor must prove
up his claim within that time. II
parties allow the legal time to expire
without making proof and paying 70.
their land they run the risk of for
feiting their claims. 1t is also pro.
vided under the law that person In
possession of a valid presumption
claim may, at any time within thirty
months from the filing of his pre-
emp,ion, change 1t into homestead
by making application at the land
office, and in so doing his right will
relate back to his settlement"

At present rate the capture of the
Nez Preces is harder question than
the old problem of the hare and the
tortoise. General Howard is still af-
ter them in hot pursuit. Unfortu-
nately he never gets there. Now, If
he would only start on tour round
the world by way of Yokohama,
Honakong, Bombay, Suez canal, etc,
he would probably surprise Messrs.
Joseph, Looking Glass and White Bird
by dropping IN on them unexpect-
eddy some time within eighty days
or so. The quickest way. Try it,

ton Of Grand Representative to the
Grand Lodge of the United States

key engine along an incline track till
the hight ofabout fifty feet is reached,
when it dumps itself into II chute
which empties out on the ground

AN IMPORTANT MEETING.
Satisfactory Settlement Between
the Miners Unions and the
Superintendent.

A special committee of the Mi.
ners' Unions held q conference with
the principal superintendent of the
Comstock mines Tuesday afternoon
in Virginia City. and q mutually
satisfactory settlement was arrived
at relative to miners not belonging
to the Unions working in the mines.
Those who are not mem bers of the
Unions will not find work under.
ground after the 10Th instant, aud
the few who have moi already done
so will doubtless join before that
date.
The compromise agreed upon ives
put in writing Wednesday after
noon by the Secretary Of the vir.
ginia Miners Union and Superin.
tendeni. 1t will be submitted to
the Unions for ratification at their
meetings next Tuesday evening.
By the terms Of the compromise
the Unions agree to protect their
members and to leave non members
to shift for themselves. In case of
accident or sickness. the Unions
will care for their members, or nav
them So per week during their in
ability to work. Heretofore the
companies have been to great
expense under this head. In con-
sideration of this and other mat
tiers, members OF the Unions only
will be employed in the mines after
the 10th instant.
All danger Of labor troubles on
the Comstock is by this amicable
understanding entirely obviated,
and VIC are glad to chronicle this
peaceful solution OF the matter.
The claim Of the miners is a just
one. and the action Of the superin-
tendents is highly commendable.
The great work Of developing and
extracting the immense wealth of
the CJmstock lode will go on unin-
terruptedly and with even grenter
efficiency than before.
The Miners Union is charitabl
as we'll as self-protective organiza-
ton. anu all who enjoy its advan
tages should be forced to assist in
paying its current expenses. Hith-
erto membership has not been com
pulsory and many, while reap
ing the harvest of wages fixed and
kept up by the Union, have not be-
longed to the organization, and
many members were negligent
about paying dues. thereby impair
ing the ability Of the Union to carry
out its benevolent works. Under
this new arrangement the drones
will be forced to aid the charities OF
the Union il they continue to enjoy
its protection, which is only proper
anil just.
The initiation fec for mem bersbip
in the Miners Unions is IS, and
the monthly dues so cents.
