A CASE FOR MR.. BERaH.

To THE EDITOR THE HERALD-
Why don't Mr. Bergh suggest to the Bleecker Street
Railroad Company the propriety Of having a second
horse stationed in Pearl street to assist the hard
worked animals to draw the bobta of the Canal
street branch up the steep grade from Peck slip to
Franklin square? 1t is painful spectacle, the pro-
longed struggle of the poor horse to pull the up
this steep incline. If the two-horse need third
horse grades. the onehorse cars, where the load
is proportionaely heavier, certainly stand in still
greater need Of assistance CLERK.

IMPORTANT TO MINERS.
What h District Judge OF IuTn

New Mining Law.

What the District Judge Of Hum
bOldt Holds with Reference to the
New Mining Law.
An important mining case was tried at
Winnemucca last week. The points de-
cided by Judge Bonniield are Of interest
to every miner. He CONSTITUTES the Act Of
Congress of May. 1879, as follows:
First-The ledge, or what is claimed to
be a ledge, must be discovered before =
location can be made.
Second That the lateral or side lines Of
he claim must not be more than 800 feet
from the middle Of the ledge or vein on the
surface.
Third-The location must be distinctly
marked on the ground, so that its bound
aries may be readily traced.
Fourth-Thc record, in order to have the
effect Of q record, must contain three
things, to-wit: The names of the locatora:
date Of location; such a description Of the
claim located by reference to som natural
object or permanent monument as will
identify the claim.
The conclusions Of the Court from these
premises are:
First-That there is not evidence that
plaintiffs ever made a location Of the
ground in controversy, because it does not
appear that at the date Of the location the
ledge, or what was claimed to be the ledge,
had not been discovered.
Second That there was no marking on
the ground Of the lateral or side lines of the
proposed location.
Third-That the record does not con tain
such a description of the claim, by refer
ence to any natural object or permanent
monument, as will identify it.
Fourth-That the writing Of a notice Of
location and placing the same in monu-
ment heretofore erected upon, and for the
purpose of marking the boundaries Of an
other claim, is not such a location Of the
ground sought to be located as is required
by the laws Of Congress.

We learn that d. Mannheim il about to 90
out Of the mercantile business in Eureka.
We shall regret to lose him from that pur-
suit, but are glad to know that in any
event he will still make Eureka his home.
San Francisco parties are understood to be
negotiating for his grocery business.
Uncle Dave is one Of our Oldest and most
esteemed business men. We found him
here in 1870, and through all of the years
that have since elapsed he has stood the
firm friend Of the district, with unbound
nency. No deserving poor man or worthy
object of charity ever appealed to Dave
Mannheim in vain. and there are hundreds
OF men in this district, and scattered all
over the State, who have been the recipi-
ents Of his generosity. He will be greatly
missed when he shall have retired from the
old stand and business. As mentioned a
few days ago in the SENTINEL, he is to ell
gage in the same line OF business at TEN
Pahute, in company with Mr.. James Nc
Birney. one of the most reliable and popu-
lar gentlemen in Eastern Nevada. The
TEN Pahute business, however, will be in
trusted almost wholly to the management
Of Mr.. McBirney, he being entirely com
petent to direct it. Uncle Dave talks of
turning his attention to mining when he
gets out of the mercantile harness here.
He will nave the best wishes of the SENrI-
MEL in whatever he may undertake.

Cherry Creeks outlook.

The independent says that at no time
since the formation of the mining camp of
Cherry Greek has that town awaited with
so much anxiety as at present the result of
developments on the lower levels. The
town is now situated with abandonment on
II side, and on the other side a condition
of life and prosperity such as its mineral
resources, that all believe it possesses, have
warranted long ago. AT the Star mine,
with each successive level downward, the
body of ore has been found to increase in
size, and now should it be found on the
600-foot level with this continued ratio of
increase, it will establish for a long time
to come the permanency and prosperity of
the camp, and will so establish a feeling Of
confidence in the minds of all capitalists
that other mining property here may then
be disposed of. A development of a large
body of ore on the next level Of the Star
will be everything for the camp, and q bar
rem level will indeed be a wet blanket.

that he has telesraphed to Bodie for 500
miners. His men are in gangs, and sta
toned 900 feet apart, each gang having it's
boss, its mule train Of three cars and .
driver. He has not yet succeeded in ar
ranging to have the debris raised from the
Comstock end. The miners want 81 per
ton, and fifty cents per ton can only be
afforded. No men will DO raised or low

be very convenient to send them in on the

who are competent and willing to work
no need for any fresh importations.
