A seventh edition OF that much
praised book, "Copp's Hand Book
Of Mining Law" will soon he out:
to contain the State and Territorial
mining laws, and instructions how
to examine title, In addition to the
lists of Government patents, digest
Of decisions, and other good things
in previous editions. Its editor,
Henry N. Copp, Of Washington, D.
c., has an extensive work on the
same subject in prsss. It will give
in full the Land Office and C1nrt
decisions now In force, and be the
authority on United States mining
law without doubt.
J. M. Brooks deserves credit for
as plucky fight as ever was made
In this section. With a popular
majority In his District against
him of at least four hundred he
came within dfty votes Of his Oppo-
nent, and with a Republican ma.
jOrlty Of nearly one hundred in this
county, he was only beaten six
votes. Had it not been Presiden-
tisl and Senatorial year, there Is
little doubt he would have got away
with the election. Brooks obeys
the scripture in one respect, ut
least. whatsoever his hands find
to do. he does with all his might.
We don't believe another Demo-
crat IN either county would have
crowded Wason as clnssly as he did
Republicans! look out for him next
IL, if there is any
Democratic party left by that time.
