An old fashioned snow storm set in
here hast evening, and III few hours
about Eve or six inches of snow fell in
the valley and probably twice that
depth in the mountains 1t is gener-
ally believed that this storm settles the
water question for next Summer, and
that there win be plenty OF that essen
tial fluid for irrigating and other pur-
poses during the season. As the
weather is not very cold, and the snow
is not likely to remain bong in the val
leys, it is not probable that cattle run
ming at large will suffer much from the
storm, but it is better that few should
perish now than that whole herds
SHOULD suffer next Summer from scar

TAc Amendment To tlse Congressional
Mining Law.


Prior to the passage by Congress, of
what is known as the mining law Of
1852, the miners OF the several districts
made rules and regulations for locating,
recording and doing assessment work
on the mines of the respective districts.
The Congressional law made it obliga-
tory OH all mine owners to perform
certain amount of labor annually on
each claim located, but omitted to state
when the assessment year began. This
caused disputes among miners and re-
suited in litigation, when the mines in
dispute were supposed to be valuable.
Some held that on claims located prior
to the passage of the Act of 1862, the
assessment year expired on the 3lst day
OF December of each year, and that on
claims located since the passage Of that
Act, the year expired twelve months
from the date of their location. The
law OF Congress specified no particular
time after the date OF the location when
the claim should be recorded or work
done. Now all disputes as to the time
the assessment year ends are settled by
an amendment to section 1924 of the
devised Statutes of the United States.
That amendment provides, THAT the
period within which the work required
to be done annually On all unpatented
mineral claims shall commence ON the
LIST day Of January succeeding the date
of location of such claim, and this Sec
ton shall apply to all claims located
since the 10th day of May, A. ID. 1872"
The amendment evidently means that
if a mining claim is located at any time
after the LIST Of January of each year,
the locators have until the LIST of Janu-
airy, following, to make the expenditure
on the claim required by the Act Of
1852. The local laws Of many mining
districts require certain amount OF
work to be done on newly located
claims within thirty Or sixty days from
the date of location, and probably the
Courts will have TO determine whether
such laws are in conflict with the Act
just passed by Congress-.

A company named the Central Ne
vada Live Stock and Land Company has
been incorporated in California. The
capital stock is $500, 600, divided in
5000 shares of the par value Of 500
each. The directors are, Il. N. Graves,
T. Fl. Parkinson, w. s. Wood, Joseph
NJ. Quay and James i. Walsh. The
object Of this organization is to improve
and cultivate the land owned by T.
Ii. Parkinson, ON Kelly Creek, in the
eastern part of this county, and buy,
sell and raise, live stock. Mr.. Park
inson purchased the land some three
years ago, and has since been engaged in
building dams and bitches for irrigating
purposes and improving and culsivatsng
the land. He has sown several hun
dred acres of alfalfa, and demonstrated
the fact that that grass can be raised
to great advantage on the sagebrush
lands of Nevada wherever water can be
procured for irrigating the soil for a
short time in the Spring season. AL
faifa hay is said to be excellent feed for
beef cattle in the Fall and Winter, and
it is probable that the company will
use it on the ground where it grows
for that purpose.

German Syrup is the special prescrip-

German physician, and is acknowledged
to be one of the most fortunate discov-
cries in medicine. It quickly cures
coughs, colds, and all lung troubles OF
the severest nature, removing, as it
does, the canse OF tine affection and
leaving the parts in a strong and
healthy condition. 1t is not an expert
mental medicine, but has stood the test
Of years, giving satisfaction IN every
case, which it's rapidly increasing sale
every season confirms. Two million
bottles sold annually. Beware of med

TEXT sooKsIN PUBLIC SCHOOLS


Education.
The State Board OF Education has issued
the following circular, which is self-ex-
p~lanatory
OFFICE STATE BOARD OF EDUCATION,
CARSON. New, Feb. 10, 1880.
To the Teachers and School Officers of
the State: The matter Of The proposed
changes in the text books at present used
in the public schools Of the State, especially
as regards the readers and arithmetics. has
been examined by the State Board of Edu-
cation with the utmost care in all its bear
ings. 1t is o to be denied that some
Of the books that we have considered are
superior to those of similar kind now in
use but we have been unable to devise
any plan for the introduction Of new books
that will not subject parents to such adj
ditional expense as they seem hardly able
to afford, owing to the present depressed
condition of business affairs throughout
the State.
We feel confident, moreover. that our
efficient corps of teachers will employ sue
cessfully in the future the readers and
arithmetics that they have proitably used
during the last four years. and that they
will cheerfully await the arrival Of q more
auspicious season for making the changes
desired.
In order to bridge over the gap be-
tween the small and large arithmetics
of Robinson's series, Of which some
teachers complain, we have recon-
mended Robinson's Rudiments, which
may be used together with the other
two books of the series, or to the exclusion
of the First Book. or not at all, as may be
deemed best in the discretion Of the teacher.
The Rudiments will be retailed by deal
ers at So cents per copy. The First Book
of Robinson's series will be retailed here
after at 40 cents, and the Complete Arith-
metic at 81 15-a reduction on the former Of
10 cents, and on the latter of % cents. 1t
will be understood that no books have
been readopted. and that the text books
now in use in the public schools will be re-
tanned until otherwise ordered by the
Board.

about fifty-ive thousand (55, 00O) tons Of
ore in reserve. ready to be extracted and
reduced. This will give three years. steady
work for a mill reducing from so to 60 tons
OF ore per day Of twenty-four hours.
GROSS ASSAY VALUE IN SIGHT.
The average assay value of the ore in the
reserves is about $50 per ton. The present
mill workings show a gross assay value Of
more than the above amount, but assuming
that $50 per ton will be the average value
OF the fifty-fve thousand (55, OOO) tons in
reserve. it gives US q gross assay value Of
one million six hundred and fifty thousand
(sl, $50. 00O) dollars actually explored and
in sight in the Two @ mine alone.
Professor Clayton next devotes a chapter
to the Bunker Hill and Lafayette mines of
the company. Both ale promising proper
ties in themselves, but we rave not the
space to follow him in his consideration OF
their respective merits. Suffice it TO say,
that he estimates the ore in sight in the
former at 5000 tons, and in the latter at
1000 tons.
ACTUAL n PROSPECTIVE VALUE OF THE
MINES.
The Professor then reaches these de-
ductiens The prospective value Of the
Two lode, including the Bunker Hill and
Lafayett claims, are very large. For every
one hundred feet additional depth under
the present workings, you will nave a run
Of ore three thousand feet long by three
feet thick. If we allow one-third for waste, it
will still leave US thirty thousand $50, 000)
tons Of ore available in each successive one
hundred feet of additional depth opened.
That is to say, il the lodes continue to the
depth as large as they are o in the low
est workings, each block Of ground three
thousand feet long by one hundred feet
deep, will yield thirty Thousand tons of
workable ore at the lowest estimate.
In true assure veins Of this character
that have been explored so extensively, /
consider it perfectly safe to estimate the
ore in the lode one hundred feet below the
present workings. This will add to our
estimate of the ore cut and nder run at
least thirty thousand GO, 000) tons Of good
ore. These estimates of ore available in the
Two q, Bunker and Lafayette claims, are
as follows

There is a pretty well authenticated re-

the Comstock it would be selling to-day
for $500 per share. The change to New
York. if it goes. will probably insure .
boom commensursts with its great merit.
