The hounds of Luther Clark still
the center OF attraction for all
those gentry who delight in the pleas.
of the chase. We yesterday no.
ticed a little knot of devotees who were
amusing themselves by sounding the
winding notes Of a horn, to which the
hounds answered with their mellow
voices, giving tongue as Justify as if in
full chase. The sound was too much
for Dan Immel, and he threw up bust
ness and came rushing over the street
to enjoy the music. We expect that
the coming summer will lind the
sportsmen ''over the hills and far
away" ia full cry liter the antlered
deer or cunning fox, and in the dearth
OF that noble game, the brave coyote
and nimble rabbit can be substituted.
An ardent imagination will supply
any detect in the quality of the game.
In the meantime the mighty hunters
are recalling former experiences and
drawing the long bow in their efforts
TO rival each other in "reminiscences OF
the field.

Official from the Mines.

Adams Hill-March 2: The Macon
City mine has followed a small vein o!
rich ore to within three feet of the
west line of Wide West patent. Forces
are at work in the line to see if the
vein extends inside of the Wide West
patent. 1t will not require but a few
days to ascertain if the ore still con
tinues, as the vein is lear the surface
of Macon City mine. Should the vein
extend on to the Wide West we will
have trouble working it. Forces are
at work on the west line of the Adams
hill and within three feet from where
the Macon City has a good vein of ore
about three feet wide, which will assay
500 per ton.
Steptoe-Ward District: Letter from
Ward, OF the 9th ult.. says: OurReady
Cash mine is constantly improving
both in quality and quantity of its ore,
and there is no doubt but what it will
in a short time, be the best producing
mine in the district. We have men at
work also upon the Cow mine. and are
taking out some very good ore from
the Emily. All three of these mines
are very promising, and in a short
time We shall be able to send some
most fattering reports.

a Welcome.

Quite a crowd assembled at the de-
pot on Thursday evening, awaiting the
arrival of friends, and among those
present was a Cornish glee club, who
whiled the time away until the arrival
of the train with glees and songs. As
the train neared the depot, our friend
Atkinson, who was a passenger on
the train, naturally mistook the dem
onstration as an ovation of his fellow
citizens in honor of his return, and
cleared his throat to reply to the hon
or, but before he could preface the &C.
casion by a few remarks he was in
continently hustled off the platform
by some ardent Mexican ladies who
also had friends on the train, and were
in a hurry to greet them. The assem-
bled crowd missed a burst of elo-
quence, but the hearty reception that
Atch. met with around town consoled
him for his lost opportunity.

Travis M. Johnson, Appellant, Is.
Eureka County, Respondent.

[OPINIoN BY HAwLEY, G. il
On the 18th day of May, A. ID. 1873,
the Board ofCounty Commissioners OF
Eureka county, upon the presentation
ola petition p%urporting to be a petit
ton of a majority of the citizens of the
town of Eureka. praying that the
provisions Of an act of the Legislature
of this State, entitled: "An act to pro-
vide policemen in unincorporated
cities, towns and villages" approved
March IL, 1865, (Stat. lS64-5, 1861 be
extended to the town of Eureka, and
requesting the appointment of two
policemen for said town and the levy
ing of a tax as provided for in said act,
made the following order, viz: cor
dered, that the petition of the citizens
OF Eureka, asking the appointment of
two policemen, be granted, and a tax
be levied upon the assessed value of
the property in said town forthe main
tenance of such police force in accord
ance with the statute, to-wit: ca one
quarter of one per cent, and that the
Assessor be directed to make such as
sessment."
The plaintiff, Johnson. having been
appointed a policeman by the Sheriff
of Eureka county, in pursuance of
said order, brings suit to o the
sum of 81 $50, amount alleged to be
due him for services as such police
man.
The Court below dismissed The action
upon the ground that the Commission
ers had no jurisdiction to make the
order, it not appearing from the
records of said Board that any evil
dence was offered to show that the
signers of said petition were resident
electors of said town of Eureka, or
that it contained the names OF a ma
jority of the resident electors of said
town of Eureka; nor do the records of
said County Commissioners show that
they found as a fact hat the names
signed to said petition were the names
of resident electors of the town of Eu-
reka. or that a majority of the resident
electors had signed said petition"
We think the Court did not err in
dism issing the action.
This Court has frequently decided
that the Board of County Commission
ers is of special and limited jurisdic-
ton; that nothing in regard to its pro-
ceedings is to be presumed in its favor,
and hat its records must a~firmatively
show the necessary ,urisdictional facts.
Whenever the jurisdiction of the
Board depends upon certain facts, to be
ascertained and determined by it, its
records should show that they acted
upon the evidence presented and adj
judged the facts to be sufficient.
The judgment of the District Court
is affirmed. HAwLEY, G. j.
We concur: BEATTY, j..

The Hamburg Mining Company
will, in a few days, award the contract
for erecting the hosting works and
putting up machinery on its mining
property situated on Peel Stick Hill.
The machinery for the works was or
dered some time ago, and will COM
mence TO arrive here in about two
weeks. a plan of the new works and
diagrams of the engine and machin-
cry, drawn by Jim Montgomery, Of
White Pine county, are in Superin-
tendent Poweii's office. The propo-
were to have been opened to-day,
but 1t necoming necessary to make a
change in the construction of the gall
frame, the time has been deferred
a few days, aud the contract will be
awarded some time next week. Sew
eral parties have bids in for the work.

Arrivals.

Every train that arrives at the de-
pot numbers among its passengers
miners from Virginia City, who have
left that place in search of work. In
conversation with n of the new ar
rivals we were informed that a num-
Der of the unemployed of that region
contemplated %emigrating to Eureka,
and he also states that the idea pre-
walls that there will be plenty of work
in this section of the country this sea-
o n. All seem surprised at the state
of affairs prevailing here, and disap-
pointed in proportion. Any large in
lux of laboring men at the present
time will only intensity the prevailing
dullness, and we earnestly advise
those who contemplate coming here to
stay away until after the settlement of
the pending mining litigation.

From COrtcx.

James Jenkins, head machinist and
blacksmith at Wenban's Garrison
mine. i'm Cortez District, arrived here
Yesterday. MIR. Jenkins has devel'
oped great genius rs an inventor OF
useful tools and implements In his
line Of BUSINESS; he has produced an
excellent style of wrench, capable of
heing adjusted to any size of bolt or
pipe. and it is withal convenient and
f~urable; he has also introduced an
Improvement in anvils, which ought
to come into general use. For this
last invention he has secured a United
States patent. Should any of our
mining superintendents want a first
class machinist or blacksmith, they
can procure the services of a man that
thoroughly understands his business
by making application at this office.

lille Men.

A stranger coming into town now
and seeing the number of men con-
gregated on Main street, would think
we had a lively town AZ present. Yes
terday. aud the preceding night, a
large number Of miners from Ruby
Hill, who have been thrown out OF
employment ty the mining litigation,
were in town canvas sing the general sit
uation of affairs and the probabilities
Of work being resumed. The recent
arrivals from Virginia City, who
came i'm the hope of securing employ
ment, find themselves badly mistaken,
and ii anything worse off than when
there. Another draft has been made
at the Richmond mine, and but few
men will be luckily enough tn retain
their places during the suspension of
work at tie two mines.

An ARROGANT PRISONER.

The Reno Gazette says: This morn
ing we received a note from James w.
Rover, the new prisoner from Hum
boldt, requesting us to call and see
him. This afternoon we were ush-
cred into his u~nimposing presence and
were introduced to some 500 pages of
MSS. He said that several facts,
which had not appeared in his trials
had been made known to him, and
some new phases of the case had re-
Gently come to light. These matters
he desired 10 place before the public
prior to his trial in April. We, of
course, could not accede to his wish
and publish matters which would, in
all probability, be brought up during
his pending trial. Because we refused
to give publicity to an immense
amount of dubious matter, he was
very much enraged, and swore that it
should be published; that he had been
bounded long enough in this iniqui-
tous case, and that his aus should be
heard.
He says that the whole proceeding
is a Contemplated design" to take
his mine from him, and that the man
who was then Sheriff vas a party to
the design. From our conversation
with him, which was brief, we plainly
say that we could place but little con-
tidence in these statements, and that
be was a maj wanting in sense of pro-
priety; n who when aDgered has but
little control over his actions.
THE THIEF, NELsoN.-The thief,
Nelson, who turned in to assist Har-
rington in his murderous assault on
the jail keeper yesterday morning, and
was subsequently put in extra heavy
irons, was yesterday marched through
the streets to the new Jail, with his
iron ornaments all adjoining his per-
son, and was placed in one of the dun
geons of the new Jail, which is set
apart for his sole and exclusive use.
The Jail authorities will take pleasure
in giving this ambitious desperate
special attention. H%arrington's con-
duct they can look upon with consid-
Grafton, as he was fighting for his life,
but Nelson had no sufficient induce
ment to tempt him to assist in a muir
der, unless he was willing to murder
for money. Virginia Chronicle.
