Mining and Other Notes, Culied
from the Courier"
So far this winter we have had no case Of
pneumonia in Belmont.
The Highbridge mill started up on ore
from the Belmont C~ompany's mine last
Wednesday.
They say in Grantsville that the Nevada
Central Railway Company will probably
extend their road south.
Work in the ella mine is being pushed
energetieally ahead. and enough ore is
being extracted to keep the mill running
steadily.
The ladies OF Grantsville have organized
a Public School Aid Society. The Society
gave a ball or Thanksgiving night and took
in $3.50, and after paying all expenses there
remained S51 Is. which sum goes into the
school fund.

New YORK, December S.
The United States Mining Investment
Company is the name Of an organization
just announced here, the object Of which
is stated to be practically hat Of a bureau
to meet the pressing demand for reliable
information relative to gold and silver
mines. For this purpose a large corps Of
engineers will be employed to examine all
the best Of the Western mines, and agencies
will be established in mining districts.
Only dividend-paying mines will receive
the attention of the Company. The belief
of the organizers is that nearly 90 per cent.
of the mines, the stock Of which is offered
in the Eastern markets, is not worthy Of
Endorsement. The information of the
Company will be sold to regular subscrib-
ers or other applicants. The following are
the names Of the officers elected: Edward
Bates Dorsey, President; Henry Have
meyer, james D. Fish, Vim. d. Guion, A.

Rotary; John g. Bunker, Assistant Secre-
tary; s.. T. Jones. Treasurer. The capital

IL "a again announced that Mr.. Edison
has completed the invention of the electric
light. He will have his place, at Menlo
Park. illuminated on Christmas Eve, and
will invite the public generally to witness
his triumph. 1t may be doubted, how
ever, that this announcement. viii cause
another such tumble in gas stocks
as that which recently struck ter
ror 10 the soul OF the bloatel stock
holders. 1t has yet to be demonstrated
first. that the electric light will be p~racti-
| cable on a large scale, and next that it viii
| be cheaper than gas. The electric light Is
nothing new. 1t has been used for years
by chemists in their laboratories. 1t has a
brilliancy like the sun. The problem that
| Mr.. Edison has undertaken is to adapt it to
street and house illumination, and to do so
in a simple, cheap, practicable way; - make
a light that is pleasant to read and sew by,
and by the means Of apparatus that is not
! likely to set out Of order. Moreover, he
has to so divide and measure the electric
current that each person using the same
may be called on to pay for whas he uses
and no more. Mr.. Edison may have sue
ceeded. and we hope he has. but his sue
cess will not be demonstrated by a brilliant
display at Menlo Park, but by the substi-
tuition of the electric light for gas in the
streets and houses Of New York.
THE report Of the Life-Sayins Service
makes a very good showing. Since its
! establishment in 1871 the total number Of
marine disasters along the coast has been
1877, involving a loss Of $40, 722, 1873 in ship
ping and S5,92s, 2T4 in cargoes. OF this
| $50, 40S were saved and 7 100000 lost.
The service thus pretty well pays its own
expenses in the saving Of property, max
ing the saving of life a clear gaiL.

regret the proposition Of the President and

to be called up by Mr. Voorhees, hereafter.
