Clssscs - Invest.
The american Exchange, . representa-
tive Wall street organ, says that never in
the history Of this country, not even in the
earlier days Of the discovery Of gold in
California, has there been . deeper, more
gepsine and more sapidly-growing interest
in gold and silver mines and mining than
that which has marked the history Of the
past three months. Never has the fever
more thoroughly permeated all classes Of
people. Tho capitalist, tho conservative
banker, the merchant, the careful business
man, the f~arrnef, the mechanic, the labor
er-all classes throughout the East are
seeking investments IN good, legitimate
and carefully.worked mines. They have
learned that most d the honestly-msnaged
gold and silver mines are paying dividends
Of from 81 to 81 so per share per month.
Some OF them pay from Is TO 50 cents per
share. while The Idaho Gold Mine, . little
California mine. with ore paying only SIT
per ton. but prudently and honestly man
aged, pays from 81 SO TO 81 50 per share
. month.
The interest in mining investments which
now exists differs from the speculative ex~
element which prevailed at the time of
the discovery Of gold in California, or
when oil was discovered in Pennsylvania.
The desire to invest in mining securities
is prompted by the hope Of finding . safe
and fairly profitable investment Of capital,
and is not wholly the mania for specula-
ton. The capitalist, either large or small,
has not o the many opportunities for
investment which formerly attracted him.
Real estate, which was at one time a desi-
rable investment, for those who wanted .
reliable security and . permanent income,
offers no inducement either to investor or
speculator, For the latter there is too lit
tie fluctuation in its value; for the former
its burdens Of taxation make it unprofit-
able to hold. Real estate mortgages have
long since been driven out Of the investors
market; the difficulty Of collecting inter-
est and the numerous attempts that have
been made to legislate q tax or mortgages
having mad this class OF securities unde-
sirable. Railroad stocks have been given
over TO the speculator, and are now serving
the purpose Of ships to the adept gambler
in stocks. And SO with other fields Of in
vestment, speculation, distrust or depres-
sion have driven away would-be investors.
In mining it is believed by many there is .
fair, promising field for those who desire
only q fair income from the amount OF
money invested, and it is that class Of peo-
pie who are inquiring every day for an OPP
portunity to puchase the stock Of some
well managed and regular dividend paying
mine.

The Runpus over h Recent Dis.
eovcry Csacermfag the Mines.
For some days past the owners Of Dodie
mining claims have been considerably ex-
crciscd by the discovery that q greater part,
if not all Of the mines which have lately
come into public notice in Bodie Mining
District, fall within = sixteenth section,
which, under the law Of Congress, passed
in 1853, was granted to California. These
lands were surveyed by James r. Glover,
under orders of tho Federal authorities,
on the 18th of January last, and then it
was found that Dodie District fell in the
sixteenth section Every mine in the vi
cinity comes within the section, and also .
small portion of the town of Bodie. More
than half of the section could not be sur
veyed, on account Of heavy SHOWS, but the
surveyor, in his field notes, returns Sec
lions 8, 3, Is and II of that township as
more valuable for minerals than for agri-
cultural purposes.
Until the 18th of June last, of course
the original locators Of the Bodie mines
were preferred purchasers under the State
laws, which extends their time to claim to
sig months; but failing to make application
before that time, other parties put in appli-
cations at the Land Office in Sacramento,
wiz AA1 AOkSoto w AAu0C III tuC ASa<AA
time patents for these lands will be issued
from the State Land Office on November
-, 1879. Aside from surveying the lands
and filing the plats in the Washington
Land Office, and with the United States
Survcyor-General in San Francisco, the
Federal authorities have had nothing to do
with these relocations. Among the adverse
claimants, who located under the Federal
laws, and occupied the ground at the time
these applications were made, were the fol-
lowing mining companies: Bodie, Stand
| ard, Summit, Chieftain. Savage, Belvidere,
Consolidated Pacific, Mono, Bulwer, Good
shaw, Defiance, Aurora, South Bodie, South
Standard, Red Cloud and Concordia.
Regarding the question whether these
claimants have acquired title by virtue OF
the Bodie mines being within the limits Of
section 16, township 4 north, range "a east,
which, under the Act OF Congress of 1853,
was granted for school purposes. together
with every other sixteenth and thirty-sixth
section, it is claimed that the Act Of 1853
excluded mineral lands from passing to the
State when they fell on the sixteenth and
thirty-sixth sections, and provided lands to
pass to the State in lieu thereof, popularity
known as lien lands. Judge Sawyer,
of the United States Circuit Court, at San
Francisco, is stated to have said that al.
though no case had ever come before him
involving this question, he was ware thai
the Supreme Court OF the State had de.
cided that INDICATED mineral lands on six
tenth and thirty-sixth sections do pass Ia
the State the same as agricultural lands,
and that the Act Of 1853 therefore. did moi
reserve them for Government purchase.

The attachment law Of Nevada contains
the following clause, in reference to busi-
ness contracts That such a contract was
made, OF is, by the terms hereof, made
payable in this State" In plain English,
.his clause prevents San Francisco mer-
chants from attaching, at any time they
may see fit, the effects of any merchant
who may have purchased a bill of goods
and who for any reason has failed TO make
payment in the time specified when the
goods we're purchased, unless o written
agreement complying with the statute, as
sbove quoted, is made. An effort will be
made by California merchants, during the
coming session OF the Legislature, to rave
the clause in question stricken out, and
the etf;rt will be vigorously opposed by
Nevada merchants. A petition opposing
such action will be circulated in Eureka in
q few days, md will doubtless secure the
signatures Of all our merchants.

bricks are said to be exceedingly durable
and moisture proof. They are also larger
used for making barrels. Straw pulp ia

The Trouble IL Caused In . Oncl
Happy Household.

The Trouble It Caused In y Once
Happy Household.
1t is a sad thing, says the Denver Ne,os.
for . man to lose his character for sobriety
and steadiness, after spending half q CEN
fury in acquiring it. But an amiable citi-
zen Of Denver, q gentle, peaceable man,
n who reads our paper every day and
goes to church on Sundays, unfortunately
finds himself in that predicament. About
. week agd q pimple commenced developing
on the tip of his nose, and to that soul
narrowing affection he owes all the
troubles Of his life. 1t has bereft him Of
the public confidence, converted his home
into q bowling wilderness, and made him
the miserable object Of Scorn to point her
slow, unmoving finger at. The origin OF
pimples is o curious phenomenon-they
develop slowly. The first indication Of
their presence, especially on the nose, is .
faint cardinal color delicately diffused over
the glutinous muscle on the tip Of the OIL
factory apparatus. Unless closely exam
ined, it might b. mistaken for q whisky
blossom, and it is with this very natural
mistake that the gentleman in question is
suffering 80 severely. 1t WAS first noticed
by his wife, who called his attention to il,
with the remark that q man who had q
helpless family and an amiable wife could
not afford to spend his time and money in
hanging around saloons and in beastly dis
sipation.
but. my dear, what are you talking
about?"
That's right, sir; got mad--fare up and
beat me-"
but, my DEAR"
sob, l knew it would come to this. l
was warned against you thirty years ago.
and if l had needed it then l should not
now be . drunkard's wife,"
"What is it you say. Confound it,
madam, / don't understand you at all |"
"That's it, Mr.. $50 on-complete
your cruelty at once-strike me down at
your feet smash the fur niturc-abuse the
children. Oh, I knew it would come to
this after . while," and the poor woman
gave herself over to an agony Of weeping.
Stunned, bewildered and half insane,
Mr.. s. seized his hat aud rushed out Of the
house. At the door he met the minister.
The good man was startled by the
spparition Of On angry man dashing
past, and heard a muttered curse, the
purport Of which he failed to distinguish.
1t might have been a groan Of despair, or
it might have been an oath. But he saw
the infiamed c~ountenance and the angry
nos and his suspicious took definite shape.
Proceeding with his call. he found the
weeping wife, who confirmed his worst
forebodings. Mr.. s. had been drinking to
excess of late, and had commenced to abuse
his family.
The minister at once convoked an as
scmbly Of deacons and laid the matter be-
fore them. It was all done in the s~trictest
confidence, but in an hour the news had
spread through the town. Mr.. 8. was o
marked man, and that awful nose growing
angrier in its crimson hue, confirmed the
rumor and sealed his fate.
That was q week ago, and ever since he
has been busily engaged in picking up the
stray threads Of his character and making
a public spectacle Of his nose, in proof that
it was only a pimple after all.

A Pretty Steep Bill.

A case wa tried before Justice Cromer
yesterday Of rather q novel character.

viduL named Stone for 500 SO, for board
and extras" Stone proved by numerous
witnesses that he had only been in town
some 4S hours at the tiae the bill was
charged to have been incurred, and the
Justice, evidently thinking that no man
could eat such an amount in that time,
extras included, decided in favor Of the
defendant The proceedings were enliv-
ened by the examination of Crazy Jane"
q witness for tho plaintiff, who rivaled
Mrs. jerks in some respects.

The CHINESE TRIMMING OuT.-Says the
Nevada (Cal.) Herald: The effect Of not
giving employment to Cinnamon about
town is plainly visible in the Chinatown Of
Nevada City. Those who are most ia
miliar with them say that there are not
more than half rs many Mongolians in our
city at present as there was n year ago.
To say the least there has been . large
thinning out. There are several causes
which have operated to drive them hence,
such as the influence Of the Caucasian or
ganization, the strenuous opposition Of the
Workingmen to their employment, and
other local causes; but the chief thing
which operates TO drive them away from
our midst is the difficulty which they en-
counter in securing employment. For
merly nearly all the jobs about town, such
as saving wood, etc., were given to Mon
golians: but now the boys and others have
succeeded in monopolizing this class Of
work. OF course they are still on the
coast somewhere. but il every place should
offer the same hindrance to them that ID
offered here by most Of our citizens, they
would be compelled to migrate to more
favorable localities. Probably this will be
about tho only way to settle the vexatious
question.
