We havo said many pleasant things Of
the Denman Troupe, and we are satisfied
that they have been endorsed by every per-
son who has attended the theater. Uncle
Josh has made himself as thoroughly
at home with us us he did his visitors from
Boston, and we shall miss him now that he
has gone. That the honest old Jackson
Democrat will find a place in every heart,
wherever he goes, none will doubt, and
there is nj one who makes his acquaint-
anco but will be the better for 1t. In this
connection we desire to add our mite to
the many compliments bestowed upon Mr..
Hill, the business manager. He is cour-
teous and accomplished, honorable in all
his dealings, cultivated and refined in his
intercourse with tho community. and a
thorough gentleman. We wish him and
the troupe afull measure Of success in their

MANY OF the residences OF Eureka are
buiIt close to the base Of the mountain
range on tho eastern side Of the canyon,
and the basalt rocks tower above and
almost overshadow tho houses in places.
This is especially true OF those built near
the spring from which the Consolidated
Company get their water supply. These
cliffs are covered with loose fragments,
and by the action Of the elements wear
away and break of. and great pieces come
tumbling down the declivity, imperiling
the safety Of the structures and occupants
thereof at the base. On Monday night
last, Mr.. Traverse, who lives i'll one of the
above mentioned residences, was awakened
by a loud noise, and springing from his
bed fastened to the door, where he found
that a huge boulder, as large as a barrel
IA small one), and weighing a ton-esti-
~mated-had fallen from the precipice and
crashed down into his door yard. 1t had
coursed through a p~assageway between his
and the adjoining house, an interval OF not
more than ten feet in width. Here the
doctrine Of chances was exemplified, and
the little word IF" figured largely in the
incident. II it had gone five feet either
way, if it had struck either house, if it had
happened when the children were playing
in the open space, and so on, ad libitun.
Our blonde compositor lives in one Of the
buildings, and in relating the occurrence,
he remarked: "H / had gone straight
home from work, and il the rock had
turned in its mad career, and if it had
struck my bed, you would have had a
chance to nave written my obituary"
When he reads this, he will contidentially
remark to the boys, "And If l ever give
him another item, may / be-blessed." We
forgot to state. that the exciting cause Of
the loosening Of that rock was goats.

THE PUBLIC SCHOOL.
No Suitable Ground TO be FOund ON
which to Build.


Mr.. A. W. Campbell, one Of the school
trustees, has devoted considerable time
during the last month prospecting for a
suitable locality for a new school-house.
1t is conceded that the present cramped
and confined quarters are unfit, there be-
ing no playground. and the building now
in use being hemmed in on all sides by
private residences. The crown of the hill
west Of the Hoosac furnace has been pro-
posed as an eligible site. but Mr.. Campbell
finds on inquiry that the ground is held at
very high figures, so high, in fact, that it
p~recludes all possibility Of purchasing.
Still further. he is satisfied that the prop
erty now occupied by the school-house
could not be sold except at a sacrifice. and
in consequence it is not probable that any
steps will be taken in the matter for a time.
There is an available fund Of 1000 that
can be used to build aad enlarge, but il
will not be utilized until some satisfactory
arrangements can be made. There Is an
urgent necessity for more room, and both
the intermediate and primary departments
are now crowded beyond their capacity.
1t is certain that some steps to remedy this
evil will have to be taken in the near
future.

Rossfter Raymond on the Eject Of
the Colorado Side Line Decision.

ROssfter Raymond on ire Eject OF
the Colorado Side Line Decision.
We find the following comments in the
last number Of the Mining and En9ineer-
ing Journal on the recent mining decision
of the Colorado Supreme Court:
An important decision Of the Supreme
Court of Colorado, which we publish in
another column, is worthy OF attention..
This clearly decides the question Of
"%swinging " a claim to fit a vein, and says
that the surface of a claim as located can
not be changed to cover any more OF the
vein than outcrops N the original loca-
ton. This is a point of great interest to
miners, and as the decision seems to re-
ceive the approval of eminent legal minds,
it will probably be established as the law
Of the land.
No doubt there is a certain satisfaction
in having the meaning Of our exceedingly
complex mining laws defined. In this
sense the Eureka-Richmond, and this Col
orado decision, are most important, for the
one explains what is meant by q vein or
lode, and defines the mining rights as linn
tied solely by the end lines; the other says
that the end lines are TO be drawn through
the points where the outcrop Of the vein
crosses the side lines and passes out Of the
claim. Important and satisfactory as
these decisions are in one seuse, In another
they merely demonstrate more clearly than
ever the absurdity Of our mining laws,
which "no fellah can understand" and
which make it all but certain that every
mine which proves OF value must pass
through the ordeal of one or more law
| suits.
What we want is a thorough revision
and simpli6cation of the mining code, and
the adoption of such clear and explicit
rules as will prevent those conflicts Of
titles which are now the curse OF most Of
our Western mining districts. The i'm
mense extension which the meaning of the
| term lode or vein " has received through
| the Eureka-Riehmond decision, and the
| great variety Of forms which wider expert
ence shows mineral deposits assume, rem
der it extremely desirable that the rights
Of mining companies should be bounded
by surface lines, and that every claim
should hold all the minerals found within
vertical planes drawn through all its
bounding surface lines, just as is now the
case with coal, rock salt, or other
mineral deposits recognized as stratifed in
character.
Naturally this would require mining
claims to have a larger area han is now
allowed. Perhaps the limits allowed by
the old Spanish law OF about 200 meters in
width might be considered too narrow,
but 500 meters in length by 800 meters in
width (say 1.500 by 900 feet would give
sufficient area in most cases. Then in no
case could a miner follow his vein beyond
his own lines, and he would, on the other
hand, be entitled to all minerals within
the limits of his claim. This law would
prevent most Of the litigation which now
so seriously interferes with the success of
many Of our best mines.

Lead is quoted in the New York market
at a very low figure. A sale of 500 tons
was made last week at SO % per hundred
pounds, and there was plenty more offered
at that price. That rate, when the allow
anee Tor dross in the crude bullion is
made, leaves but a slight margin over
freight charges from tins point to New

to allow S25 per ton for the lead contained
in the ores is a mystery to everybody but
themselves. 1t is not supposed, however,
