progressed, and in failing to inform the
Board, when the bill was presented for

appropriation. Such inattention to duty
might lead to very evil results, and as q
safeguard against trouble in the future it
was recommended that committees be held
to strict performance of their duties, and
in addition thereto, that the CLERK of this
Board, when any bill shall be presented for
payment which has not been previously
ordered by the Board, or the amount of
which exceeds the amount appropriated for
such purposes, to notify in writing the
Committee ON Claims of such fact, where
upon said committee shall report the same
to this Board for such action a it may
deem proper in the premises.

LAND OFFlCE,
Washington, D. c., April 10, 1880.
Registers and Receivers, L. $. District Land
Offices
GENTLEMEN-It has from time to time
been represented to me by credible parties,
and through Official sources, that the rates
charged by various newspapers for the publ
cation of notices of application for patents to
mineral lands have been and are, in many
instances, excessive.
Section 1926, U. S. Revised Statutes, pro-
yides that the Register of the Land Office
"shall publish a notice that such application
has been made, for the period of sixty days,
in a newspaper to be by bin designated as
published nearest to such claim" Hence it
follows that the Register must, under said
Section 1926, designate the newspaper pub
lished nearest the claim, and that the appli-
cant for patent (who under section 1884 must
pay the cost of publication) is compelled to
pay whatever price is charged by the publisher
or relinquish his proceedings for patent.
Being forced to conclude that exorbitant
charges are thus frequently made in different
localities, to the manifest oppression of ap-
pllcants for patents to mineral lands, | am
convinced that it is my official duty to estab-
lish the maximum charges for publication of
said notices, as authorized by Section 1894,
Revised Statutes.
BY virtue of said authority | therefore lii
rect that the maximum charges for publication
of notices Of application for patent to mineral
lands shall not exceed fifteen (lJ) dollars;
and for publication Of citations in contests
or hearings involving the character of lands,
ten (1o) dollars.
You are hereby instructed to promulgate
this order by mailing u copy of this circular
to each of the newspapers published within
your land district, and you will report to me
all cases in which it shall come to your know
ledge that an excess in said rates shall have
been charged.
| am not inclined to unnecessarily inter
pose official authority in matters which can
properly be otherwise arranged, and make
this order with reluctance. | have fixed the
said rates al precisely the figures which for
several years last past have controlled like
publications in the Stockton and Sacramento
land districts in California.
In the event of excessive charges in the fl.
ture | shall be compelled to exercise the fur
Their authority vested in me by said Section
1884, Revised Statutes, and designate some
one newspaper IN each land district where
such excessive charges are made for the pub
LEGATION of all mining notices, and fix the
rates to be charged by such paper.
In the performance If the duty OF desisnat'
ing the newspaper as that published nearest
the claim, You are not expected to make a
Discrimination, on account OF the distance OF
the place of publication from The claim, be-
tween different newspapers published IN the
same town or city. Any one Of several news
papers so situated may he designated.
Very respectfully,
: j. A. WILLIAMSON, Com'r.

On Saturday night Prof. Lewis made his
debut in B, tie to An overlooking house, and
81 those who were fortunate enough to gain
admission were held entranced considerably
over two hours and a half, the oft repeated
applause e~vincing the pleasure Of the audi
snces
The programme was = varied one, interest
ing to both old and young, and calculated to
crafty the curiosity Of all. The Professor
starts out with the assurance to his audience
that his entertainment is All illustration Of
the art OF deception, and that everything pre-
sented by him personally is q humbug, with
the exception OF his juggling, and that he de-
sirss his auditors to place the most implicit
confidence in his remarks, but must not
believe a word he says. His hSmor
and sharp hits ingratiatsd him into
the good will of ali. The initiation into the
Changers was a melange of ROPE tying, mag
netism and mysterious deception that cen,
yulsed The vast audience 50 that roar upon
roar greeted each act, and manuvering the
candidates who were part Of the time uncon-
ciously taking part in it. In magnetism the
Professor seems to handle his subjects at will,
causing them to hug, fondle, feed, kiss and
play with rag dolls, also to fish and do other
inumerable acts; running pins in their
cheeks and Introducing surgicaltests in which
Dr. Thompson was appointed by the audience
to investigate.
The sack mystery, in which Miss Ida May
Lewis took = prominent part, elected wonder
and admiration. This act, il presented in q
spiritual seance could be palmed off on the
incredulous IS being done through the agency
OF supernatural power. Other performances
were alike ~ wonderful.
The entertainment closed with fairy scene.

which were introduced in q manner that len

Regular Correspondence OF the MINER.
Since my last, transportation on wheels and
general communication with lower attitudes
has been opened to this thriving town and
prosperous mining district. The two cross
ings Of Wood river between this point and the
old emigrant road to BOISE have been sub
stantially bridged, and the welcome sight Of
heavy freight wagon trains unloading mer-
chandise a. the various business houses on
Main street wa an event rather unexpected,
a month since, totake place so soon. But to-
day the long teams Of mules with trail wag-
ons rolling in reminds us of the busy life OF
Butte in the month Of June, 10. With the
vehicles of various kinds appeared also, some
containing families, men, women and child
ren, poultry, etc., others vendors of various
kinds Of commodities with their stocks
aboard, mechanics with their outfits, dairy
men with their cows and calves made their
first appearance in town to-day. Town lots
took = general rise, and our gentlemanly
| town recorder, John Sterling, obliging as he
is, was scarcely able to fill the bill.
DR.. George L. Lucas, a prominent physi-
clan whs visited Helena and Butte City last
fall, secured lots and permanently located
here to-day. He will erect a residence and
an office at once. A tri-weekly mail has been
established and arrives regularly by coach
from Blackfoot, via Big Lost river. The hills
are full Of never-tiring prospecsors. Several

made within the last two or three weeks

quality, but the purchasing and shipping o.

WASHINGTON July S.-TheTe are now about 800

and Detroit have something more than 800
each, and the one at Allegheny has 200 Lattoriy

cents day. The authorities Of the Auburn prison
are applicants for Government prisoners on equally
favorable terms. Baltimore also wants some OF
