the following brief sketches of Silver
City and Dayton:
Silver City.-Lics in Gold Canyon,
short distance below Gold Hill.
The DEVILS Gate, narrow pass be-
tween two rugged cliffs, separates
the two towns. Silver City is older,
as a mining camp, than Virginia
City, but for lack Of capital, the
mines have been explored to no great
depth, though many OF them were
very 'ich 10 gold on the surface. The
LYON COUNTY TINES, an enterprising
paper, is published there. The town
contains fine school house. church,
several mills aud many handsome
private residences aud substantial
business houses. Population, 1900.
Dayton.-ls a small town On the
Carson river, ut the mouth Of Gold
Canyon, and is the place where gold
WAS first discovered, in 1853, the min
ing and following up Of which by
placer miners finally led to the dis
covery Of tie Comstock silver lode,
six years later. by men who were
mining in surface ground for free
gold. The population Of the town is
about 1000. Dayton is the county

place of importance, bu: is now rath-

MAYO ut Pliers.

Frank Mayo opened to a good
house at Piper's Opera House on
Monday evening, appearing in his
famous character Of "Davy Crock

thusiastic applause showed that the
play has not lost its power to please
although it has beeu produced here
quite number of times. Mr.. Mayo's
efforts we're ably seconded by the
California Theater Company strength
ened by Miss George Woodthorpe.
This and tomorrow evening "Man

boards. On Friday evening Mr..
Mayo takes u benefit, when his new
piece, "The Virginian," will he pro-
duced-which piece will also be
played at the matinee of Saturday.

A PROPOSED NEW MINING LAW.

Judge Belford, of Denver, will en-.
deavor to have the following new
mining law passed at the next session
Of Congress:
Be it enacted by the Senate and
House of Representatives of the
United States of America in Con-
gress assembled:
That hereafter any person DESTROYS
of prospecting and exploring the pub
lie domain of the United States for
tie discovery of deposits of gold and
silver bearing ore, which do not out.
crop or appear on the surface, may
locate mining claim fifteen hundred
feet in length and six hundred feet
in width, which location shall be
made by marking the boundaries of
the same on the surface Of the ground
by at least six substantial stakes, one
at each corner Of the claim and one
at the center of each side.li
After the making of said location,
the party making the same shall
have ninety days within which to
expose and define the mineral depos-
1t, which may be done either BY the
sinking of discovered shaft, or by
an open cut, CROSSE cut, or tunnel. II,
within said period of ninety days, he
shall fail to expose said mineral de-
post, his location shall be void, and
the claim so located shall be open to
relocation in the same manner as If
no location of the same had ever been
made.
No person discovering a mineral
deposit under this act shall have the
right to follow it beyond the point
where it is intersected by the exterior
lines of the claim; nor shall any per-
son under this act be allowed to To-
cate second claim in the same min
ing district, until he has perfected
his title to the first,located claim by
an exposure Of the mineral deposit
therein, in the manner above set forth,
any by recording the same as re-
quired by law.
Provided, this act shall not apply
to mining claims on veins or lodes
Of quartz found between well.dcfined
walls or rock in place. Fh

BRIEF MENTION.

County commissioner Mackenzie
left yesterday for visit to the Red
Canyon mines. He intends to be
gone about a week.
The Bacon mill, in this city, is
about to be torn down. This will ad-
nit of the exploration OF the ore.vein
discovered in Cherokee ground about
"a year ago.
An extensive display of meteors is
predicted for tomorrow, the 18th in
slant, at about 1 o'clock in the MORN
ing. 1t is alleged that it will be one
of the grandest heavenly sights ever
witnessed.
Congressman Daggett will leave
for the East tomorrow or next day.
He will be accompanied, as far as
Chicago, by Judge Strother and his
wife, who go to spend most of the
winter in Wisconsin. --
There is trouble In the air" at Co.
mo. Some parties claim the town
site, while others claim that they
have right to squat wherever they
please in the district. 1t is not un.
likely that when the rush comes
there will be many conflicts about
titles. ~
During the quarter ending Septem-
Der 30, 1879, 6,733 tons of tailings
were worked in this county. The
total yield Of the same was 1874.

A new shaft has been started on
the Quinn mine, in Spring Valley. 1t

feet before IT strikes the ledge. The
Quinn is controlled by DIR. Bronson
and Fr,uk Osbiston, who own &c.
900 shares. he ledge is about ten
feet vide. and quite rich.
The public school Of this city was
closed yesterday, out of respect to the
memory of T. B. James, superintcnd.
ent Of schools In Storey county, who
died of consumption at Reno, at
2:45 o'clock last Monday morning.
MIR. James was Principal of the pub
lie schools in this city for year and
half, he having superseded Mr..
Cromwell.
j. d. Sims, tax collector, will be
in town to-day and morrow, to
give all resident taxpayers an oppor-
tunity of paying their taxes before
they become delinquent. Taxes will
become delinquent on Monday next,
the 18th instant, and all remaining
unpaid after that date, will be sub
ject to the ten per cent. penalty for
delinquency.
William Jones, of this city. who
has been In Bodie for some months
past, has returned. He says that he
was doing pretty well, but the night
before he left six men who lodged in
the same house as he fell sick Of
pneumonia and died before morning.
This led him 20 start for home. b.
die is very pleasant place and quite
healthy ia the summer.
Colonel Woods, a gentleman who
has been clerk of the Committee on
Public Lands Of the House Of Repre-
sentstives for a number of years, was
In town last Monday. Colonel Woods
came To examine the Grant and

Whipping Post,

The whipping post is said to have
worked we'll in Virginia. Cases OF
petty larceny and the criminal
charges Of the State have sensibly
fallen off since it's adoption, and the
Senate stands by the lash by de-
cided mss ssjority, on q motion TO repeal
the law sancti0ning its use. A colony
Of 900 negroes working in Pender
county, N, c., quarry, hsyc volunta-
rily adopted the whippiAes post to
suppress thieving among themSelves.
The jury of their own choice finds tbs
guilty out every time, and the plan
seems to be success in keeping
things straight. Missouri and several
other States are now considering the
advisability Of employing the same
meaus to punish the petty thieves
and other scamps who fear no penalty
as much, and just now the tide seems
to set toward the whipping post as
more effective with petty criminals
than confinement or fines.

Female Masons,

Speaking of female Free Niasons,
the Montpelier, VT, argus says !:
ave see it stated that only two fe-
males we're ever initiated into Free
Mason's lodge, one Mrs. Aldsworth,
in North Carolina, eud the other a
Mrs. j. B. Babington, in Kentucky.
We opine this is mistake, for tradi-
ton has it that during the war of
1912, or thereabouts, a Miss Hatha-
way was initiated into one Of the
lodges on the northern, frontier of
Vermont. The lodge was held in an
upper room, which was lathed, but
not plastered, overhead, and Miss
Hathaway, with the curiosity pecu-
liar to her sex, determined to find out
the secrets of Masonry, and 80, pre-
Yious to the opening of the lodge,
quietly assembled into the attic of the
lodge-room to take advantage of the
erevices to listen to and observe the
scenes enacted below. Whether
frightened at the antics of the goat or
hoFrliied by the hot grid-iron applica-
ton, or not, we are not informed,
but by some mishap she missed her
foothold and came down through the
lathing in the midst Of the ceremo-
n!ies, to the utter astopishmcnt and
dlsmay OF the actors. Deeming dis
cretion the better part Of valor, they
thoug ht it wise to shut her mouth by
a solemn obligation, which she kept
to the close of her life."

a Good One.I

| During the first year Of the war,
says Vermont paper, when change
was scarce and come large firms were
issuing currency of their OWE, far
mer went to store in a neighhoripg
town and bought some gootis. and
gave the merchant five dollar bill,
OF which he wanted seventy-fivc cents
back. The merchant counted it out
and handed it over to the farmer,
who looked ut it moment and in
quirtd;
"Whatis this?" ~
'1ts my currency said tue mer-
chant. {.
"Wall, taint good for anything
where live," said the farmer.
Every WE'LL" said the merchant,
"keep it until you get a dollars
worth. and bring it to my store. and
/ will give you o dollar for it,
The farmer pocketcd the change
and departed. A few days after he
went 10 the same store, and bought
goods to the amount of one dollar,
and after. paying over the identical
seventy-five cents he took out hand
ful of pumpkin seeds, and counted
ont twenty-five of them and paased
them over to the merchant.
"Why," said the merchant, "what's
this?"
"Wal," said the farmer, ",his is
my currency, and when you gel Q dol
lars worth bring it to my PLACE, and
/ will give you dollar for it,"
