NEW MINING BILL.-An important meeting
was held at the residence of Senator Jones in
Washington on Thursday evening to discuss
the features of proposed new mining bill.
There were present Senator Jones and Con-
gresham Daggett of Nevada, Campbell of
Arizona, Maginnis of Montana, Bedford Of
Colorado and Mr.. Berry of California. The
members, will be introduced in the House.
Following is the amendment offered: "And
in all cases where the mean dip of the lode
does not exceed twenty five degrees from the
hori ION the right to follow the mineral shall
not extend beyond the side lines of the loca-
ton drawn downward vertically, and on any
mineral land where there is no outcrop of a
vein or lode on the surface of the ground.
The party seeking to make a discovery is au-
thorized to locate a prospecting claim of the
same sizs as the claims now allowed BY law,
and he shall have the exclusive possession of
said claim so long as he shall expend 5000
worth of work each in exploring for mineral
and when vein or lode is found patent may
be obtained as is now provided by law. In
case locator fails to perform the annual la
Dor required, the claim shall be forfeited and
shall be open to relocation the same as though
it has never been located; provided that the
original lscators, their heirs, assignees or legal
representatives have not resumed work upon
the claim after failure and before such loca-
ton.

A SURPRISED MoNoPoLY-The Central Pa

Reno and Immediately fled the following rea-
sons for a new trial:
Excessive damages appearing to have been
given under the influence of passion and
prejudice.
Irregularlty in the proceedings of the jury,
by which defendants were prevented from
having fair trial.
Misconduct of the jury.
Insuficiency of the evidence.
The verdict is against the law.
Errors of law occurring at the trial and ex-
oepted to by the defendants.
The Railroad Com pany have not been in the
habit of losing their suits as rule Whenever
the big monopoly loses suit in court where
they cannot intimidate tho Judge or purchase
the jury, they Immediately conclude that
there has been q grave case of "miscondact"
on the part of the jury, or that their verdict
has been infusnced by ''passion or prejudice. :"
The easiest way to remove any prejudice
which may exist in Nevada is to deal Is fairly
by this State as by California.

Mr.. Tilden was credited with the remark
prior to the assembling OF the National
conventions that whichever party might
win the contest 1t would hold power for
the next twenty years. For, said he,
times are going to be Sood-the panic will
be thing OF the psst-and the people are
&verse to voting out OF power party that
is identified wi h their prosperity. There
was 4 great deal Of Sagacity in this remark.
II was based on knowledge both OF poll
tics aud OF men. The scope OF 1t Is ei
oven wider significance than the simple
g,stem snt itself. The tendency Of a sue
ressIul psrty identified with good times, Ia
no. only to retain power, but to gather
into its fold the opposition to 1t. Hence
we do not look upon the prediction that:
West Virginia will be gathered into the
Republican fold at an early day as very
venturesome prophecy. Look how nearly
the Fret district has been gathered into 1t.
Who will say, taking the large gains made
In this district since 1878 as an indication,
that she will not elect Republican In
1882 by good sized majority? We look
upon such result as almost assured. The
Solid South business Is bound to play out,
aud VI est Virginia, squeezed as she Is so
tightly by Two great Republican States, is
bound to be Republicauizsd at an early
day. B1th her geographical position and
her material interests are operating in that
direction.
