The "Silver State" of the 10th, says r.
NJ. Daggett, Representative in Congress
from Nevada, passed through last evening,
homeward bound. The climate Of Wash
ington, and the lemonade which the
members Of the House indulged in seemed
to agree with him, as he looked like health
~personified. He says he likes the Briga-
valiant 'stalwaIt" as he could not be ex-
pected to coincide with them politically.
He does not expect to be called to Wash
ington again before the beginning of the
regular session Of Congress in December,
though he Is not positive that another
extra session may not be called in Septem-
Der. He intends to visit all the towns
along the railroad to collect facts relative
to the fares and freights in this State, to
present to Congress. By strategic move
ments on the works Of ''Erring Brother"
Key, Postmaster-General, he got that once
lannon's Confederate General but now stall
wart Republican, to make arrangements for
continuing the Postoffice at Mill City. In
ordinary conversation a more social, jolly,
good natured fellow than Dagge,t is sell
dom met with outside the rank of the
Democratic party, but put a pencil in his
hand and a sheet of paper before him, and
they change his nature as rays OF light do
the color Of the chameleon, and instantly
transform him into one of the most vim
detective sectionalists that can be found in
the ranks OF the stall warts.

MINING
Decision Of the United States SUI
presne Court.

HyGChSlOu OI INC NIItt1 SsNtCS 80
presne Court.
The Supreme Court of the United States
has, as a court Of last resort, decided the
case of the Flagstaff Silver Mining Compa-
ny of Utah VS.. Helen Tarbet, affirming the
Judgment of the Supreme Court Of Utah.
The following is the syllabus:
A location of q mining claim upon a lode
or vein of ore should be laid along the
same lengthwise Of the course OF its apex
at or near the surface. as well under the
Mining Act Of 1866 as under that of 1872.
II located otherwise, the location will only
secure so much of the lode or vein as it
actually covers.
Each locator is entitled to follow the dip
OF the lode or vein to an indfinite depth,
though it carries him outside the side lines
Of the location but this right is based on
| the hypothesis that the side lines substan-
TALLY correspond with the course of the
lode or vein at the surface, and it is bound
ed at each end by the end lines OF the loca-
| ton, crossing the lode or vein, aud ex-
tended perpendicularly downwards and in
definitely in their own direction.
If a location be laid crosswise Of a lode
or vein, so that its greatest length crosses
the same, Instead of following the course
thereof, it will secure only so much of the
vein as it actually crosses at the surface,
! and the side lines of the location will be-
come the end lines thereof, for the purpose
OF defining the rights of the owners.
A locator working subterraneously into
the dip of the vein belonging to another
| locator. who is in possession of his loca-
ton. is a trespasser, and liable to an action
for taking ore therefrom.

BONANZA CITY.


EorA NOumtFy.
Mr.. George w. Baker is in recent of a
letter from Mr.. J. s. Whitton, written from
Bonanza City, from which we have been
permitted to Gull the following informa-
ton
This is going to be a good country, and
its development is but a question Of time.
l am not positive as to how much longer I
shall remain, but will hardly be in Eureka
for two months yet. l want to remain
during the coming winter. and many do
so. Lots are scarcely so high now as when
1 first came. The county seat is now at
Salmon City, but will be moved here when
the next Legislature meets. which will lie a
year from the coming winter.
A man named Baxter sold one-third Of
the Custer mine. the other day. for $685.
900 to San Francisco parties. To be exact
/ believe he sold for that amount one-third
of Custer and one-half Of q mine called the
Unknown" The other two-thirds OF the
Custer are owned by San Francisco men,
and it is reported that they have also sold
to the same parties for $500, 900. am
inclined to believe that the men in San
Francisco who own the two-thirds have
bought the other one-third. There il no
doubt in my mind but there Is at least
500, 600 worth Of ore in sight on the Gus
ter. Many say there is a million and a
half in sight. The Charles Dickens-alias
the N~orton-is considered the best mine in
the district. The owners ask s375. 900 for
it. l am of the opinien that it will change
hands before next winter. even at that
price.
This country can not amount to any
thing until the present mine owners sell
out. All the mines here, except the Gus
ter and Unknown, have every appearance
of being well-detined and permanent. In
regard to the Custer and Unknown it is
difficult to form an opinion. They lie ON
a steep side hill, and are one and the same
thing. II looks to me as il the hanging
wall has been worn away, leaving the ledge
exposed for a long distance. Anderson and
others who have examined it carefully,
have no doubt about its-the Custer-go-
ing down, and say that where it enters the
earth it is eight feet wide.
This is not a fast country like Nevada,
but when it once gets opened up, ores that
will pay $40 per ton can be worked at a
profit. owing to the great abundance OF
wood and water.
There are the best openings here for q
man with a few thousand dollars to make
a raise in town property / ever saw, were it
not for the uncertainty where the main
Town will be. Sumo think that Custer
City will be the place.
Some of the principal mines are seven
miles from here, high up in the noun
tains.
1t is the hight of folly FOR any one to
come here this summer There is no work
for any one, and those who rave money to
invest in town properly, had better not
come here until late in the fall or winter,
as then most of these fellows who have lots
will be Obliged to sell. 1t will take years
before this country will be thoroughly
developed. The longer ! stay here the
more confidence | have in the prospects.
1t makes no difference to me how many re-
turn disgnsted to Eureka, fo- I am one OF
those unfortunate fellows that has an opin-
ion Of his own and not afraid to act.

The Phenix Wine.

The Daily Exchange" says the Direct
ors of the Phenix mine met in San Fran
cisco on Friday last and determined, in
view of recent developments. to make the
mine pay its running expenses instead Of
calling upon the stockholders again in the
shape of assessments. The superintendent
reports a large quantity of ore between
the fourth and sixth levels-more than
sufficient to pay the running expenses,
while experts who have recently visited
tho mine report over 1900 tons available
or in sight. This ore assays. in gold and
silver. from $40 to $93 per ton, with a
heavy percentage Of lead. At this juno
ture, WHEN assessments seem to oe the rule,
it is a pleasure to chaonicle their suspen-
sion in one case, at least. The directors
are now pushing for the seventh level. If
the body Of ore continues from the sixth
to the seventh level, the next certain move
will be the payment Of dividends. 1t will
take probably sixty or ninety days to de-
velop into certainty what now is almost an
assurance. The work will DO pursued with
energy, the directors realizing hat time
is money.

Determined Action Of the Coal
burners.

On Wednesday night some IS or 40 coal
burners are reported to haze stopped the
burning and loading Of coal at a ranch
some distance from town. The affair was
conducted in a quiet but determined man
ner, and no violence was resorted to.
Nearly If not all Of the burners are mem
bers OF the Association, and are determ-
lied to sell no coal for less than 80 cents
per busbel. They have, OF course, the
same right to ask Il certain price for their
coal az a merchant has for his goods, and
can refuse to give any to the teamsters if
they see fit. The Association disclaims
any intention Of resorting to violence, and
say there is no occasion to do so, as all Of
the burners are in active sympathy with
its objects. 1t would prove unfortunate
for the camp were any Of the furnaces to
shut down, but this is hardly probable,
and we hope in a few days to be able to
state that the matter has been adjusted to
the satisfaction Of all parties.

The SutrO scandal.

The Carson appeal wisely says: We
are no apolosist for Sutro, and no excuse
can or should be offered for the insult he
has given his wife and children. But our
home papers as a rule have treated a dis
graceful affair in an indicate, aye, an in
decent way, and in the treatment Of the
subject they do not appear to have been
influenced by "a desire to improve a COM
munity's moral tone, but rather to pander
to a taste for ~unclean domestic matters.

Remember, son, that the world is older
than you are, by several years that for
thousands Of years it has been SO full Of
smarter and better young men than your
self, that their feet stuck out of the dormer
window: that when they died the old
world vent whirling on, and not one mar
in ten million went to the funeral or seven
heard Of the death. Be as smart as you
can, Of course. Know as much as you can
without blowing the packing out Of your
cylinder heads; shed the light Of your
wisdom abroad in the world, but don't
dazzle people with it. And don't imagine
a thing is SO simply because you say it is.
Don't be sorry for your father because he
knows SO much less than you do; remem-
Der the reply of DR.. Waylsnd to the stu
dent of Brown University who said it was
an easy enough thing to make proverbs
such as Solomon wrote, MAKE a few"
tersely replied the old man. We
never heard that the young man made any.
Not more than two or three anyhow.
The world has great need Of young
men, but no greater need than the young
men have for it. Your clothes fit you bet
ter than your fathers fit him they cost
more money and are more stylish your
moustache lis neater, the cut Of your hair is
better, and you are prettier, oh, far pref
tier than pa" But, young man, the old
| gentleman gets the biggest salary, and his
homely. scrambling signature on the bust
ness end Of a check will drain more money
out of a bank in five minutes than you
could get with a ream of paper and a cop
per-plate signature in six months. Young
men are useful, son, and they are orna-
mental, and We all love them, and we
couldn't engineer a picnic successfully
without them but they are no novelties,
son. Oh, no, nothing of the kind they
have been here before. Don't be SO mod
est as to shut yourself clear out but don't
be so fresh that you will have to be put
away in the cool to keep from spelling.
Don't be afraid that your merit will be
discovered. People all over the world are
hunting for you, and if you are worth
finding they will find you.- Hawkeye.
