Of mechanism by which the passion OF

Gu a constantly recedins platform the

Not only are the movements Of the auto

the ashing OF the whips OF the soldiers

The scenes at the place Of execution and

Pacific Coast during the past year. is'7,
as far as obtaiaable. No small amount
OF time, labor and trouble was expended
in obtaining the necessary statistics for
the preparation Of this list. comprising
as il does two hundred and ifty-four
mines, located in California, Nevada.
Oregon, Utah. Idaho and Arizona.
Some Of these mines have levied as
many as 1--WE assessments during the
year. which is the full limit allowed by
law. as ii takes over two months to col.
lsct an assessment, and the second can
not be levied until the first n has all
been accounted for. Others levied only
four; q larger number levied only
three. aud a still larger number levied
emily two. In a majority OF cases only
one assessment was collected during the
year. just enough to keep the mine
open. Ths heaviest %leyies, OF course.

the Comstoek lode. the most noteworthy
being those Of Bslchsr. Crown Point.
