A Grand sight.

The "Silver State notes the arrival at
Winnemucca of a gentleman from the
Rabbit Hole sulphur mines, who says that
while working assessments, some two weeks
ago, on a bank in what is known as the
Devils Corral" the sulphur caught fire
from a blast and has continued to burn
steadily since that time. The burning
bank is about one hundred feet high, and
is composed of sulphur and earthly matter
resembling ashes, in about equal proper
tons. The whole face of the bank is ON
fire, and Mt night makes a grand and thrill
ing spectacle, which is almost worth a visit
to the sulphur mines to behold. The sui
phur does not Il off in a molten stream
as it did when a drift in pure sulphur,
in the McWorthy mine, caught fire some
two years Ago., as the dry ashy earth alb
serbs it, but the bank from base to summit
is at times a sheet of fame, and the whole
mountain appears like a huge fire. No
effort has been made to suppress the fire,
as the sulphur in the bank contains too
much dirt and ashes to be valuable.

Legislature.

tSiRtuEts
Assemblyman Smith, Of this county, is
the author of the law regulating the sale
or disposal of opium in this State, and
during the recent session Of the Legisla-
ture caused some important amendments
to be made, which we give below. Mr..
Smith has devoted a good deal OF attention
to the subject, and has proven fully COM
petent to handle it. The amendments ATE
as follows:
Section 2 is amended so as to provide
that il any person, unless they be apothe-
carries or druggists who did it IN physi-
clans prescriptions, sell, give away or dis
pose Of opium, as is mentioned in section
=, shall, on conviction, be fined not ex-
ceeding 81 900 (instead Of $500 as hereto
fore), or not exceeding two years lmpris-
onment (instead Of six months as hereto
forel, or both: provided, that where the
imprisonment is for a greater period than
six months, the Imprisonment shall be IN
the State Prison.
Section 4 is amended so as to make the
owner as well as the lessee amenable under
| the provisions of this Act for a violation OF
the Act, and specifies ''any preparation
containing opium"
The supplemental par: of the Act pro-
poses to inhibit the renting OF premises
knowingly by owners for such purposes by
rendering them liable to the penalty pre-
scribed in section 2, and makes a Judgment
rendered in such cases to be a lien on prop
erty Of owners.
The law takes effect on May |, 1879. The

There seems to be but little change in
the condition of affairs at Typo. Inc oW"
of last Saturday says: 1.-The mine ana
furnaces are yet running, but no one
knows how long they may continue 10 40
SO or when the men will get their money,
or rather no one did know when the men
would get their wages until Friday, when
the attaching creditors and the employees
of the Typo Company entered into an
agreement with N. S. Trowhridge q Co..,
permitting so, 900 pounds of the rehned
bullion to be taken by TrowbridSe TO Eu-
reka, there TO be converted into cash
T~rowbridge & Co. binding themselves 10
apply this money to the payment OF the
men, and, should there be any over, 10 sat
isfying a number of executions IN their
order, issued ont of the Justices Court
against the property of the company.
This will enable the men to get their
money at the end of the month and pay
Trowbridge a Co. their store bills, and
their board bills also. i.
This arrangement has done a good deal
toward restoring some degree of confidence
in our future, inducing many to hope that
the mines will steadily continue to run,
and the material prosperity of the camp
be u~nimpaired, while the majority OF our
people regard it, at least, as a temporary
Arrangement, which will tide us over the
immediate danger Of being left without
either work, money or grub.
But Notwithstanding that a somewhat
better feeling prevails than was the case
when we first learned that the Company's
checks were refused. our people know very
well that they are by no means out OF the
woods. and there is, and will be until some
thing definite is known, a general feeling
of distrust and uncertainty almost fatal to
business Of any kind.

Another Organization Added 10 a
Long List.
1t is questionable if any town in the
United States of the same size as Eureka
possesses so many organizations, secret and
otherwise, and no less than three have
been formed in the past two weeks. While
the Chinese meeting was in progress at the
Opera House a large gathering of native
born Americans was held at the National
Guard Armory under the Postoffice. Their
object can best be learned from the pre-
amble and resolutions adopted, which we
give herewith:
Whereas. The native-born citizens of
America have by their lack of union, in
ertia and apathy, and not by reason Of any
mental or moral inferiority, permitted a
monopoly of all the leading industries to
pass into the hands Of monopolies which
employ aliens, many Of whom are not far
removed from poems; and
Whereas, The restless and independent
spirit Of Americans has caused them to, at
all times desire to better their condition,
a desire which frequently causes them to
make an injudicious change Of home; and
Whereas, They have selected this locality
in large numbers, n whose wants seem
to be overlooked by those who have the
employment Of labor, and who m~onopolize
the industries of the country; and
Whereas, All labor being honorable, and
many Americans being here idle, and will
ing to labor at any kind Of legitimate work
or employment; therefore be it
D,IvnJ NNk.t ,., ,nr,t,al1v hand pur-
selves together in an organization to be
known as the
AMERICAN LABOR UNION.
The object OF this Union shall be the pro-
lection of American labor and industry,
helping the unemployed and aiding and
assisting its members to procure employ
ment, elevating the working classes, en-
couraging the discouraged and hopeless,
md maintaining the dignity Of labor, and,
above all, to inculcate in the young men
Of our country a supreme contempt for
idleness and dissipation. Any Caucasian
Torn on the North American Continent,
and who speaks our mother tongue, may
become a member of this Union. Any one
having resided continuously in the country
q years may become a member.
