THE CONDITION OF THE COLORED
PEOPLE.

The NcrS and Courier has taken
the pains to send its travelling CORE
spondcnt to gather truthful informa
ton as to the condition of the color
ed people in all parts ofthc state. The
result Of the Investigation shows that
they are making material progress
everywhere, and there are many places
in which individuals Of them have
amasscd fortunes. They have tn C
same chances Of prosperity as the
white man, and there is no impedi-
ment to their reaching any state Of
elevation, material or intellectual to
to which their capacities cntitle them.
They have the same protection Of the
Courts and the right of trial nv Jury
as their white ncighbor. They have
better chances Of living than labor
ers ut The North or any where else on
the globe.
Col. Mcclure, the gifted corres-
pondcnt Of the Philadelp hia Times
who was snni South to find out the
true state Of things, admits that his
his observation veriiics this fact, and
even go,s further, and confesses to

The C. & C. r. II.

The track of the G. g. G. r. r. was
81 miles from the Mound House yes
Lerday. There are now only about
10 miles more track to lay to COM
plete the. road. The track Is about
10 miles down the lake. and will
probably cross the second poiut to-
day, and from thence to the lower
end will follow the beach.
Ties were being hauled yesterday
10 the grade made in the blue gravel
which extends some distance along
the lower end of Walker Lake.
he weather has been excellent
since the last snow storm, and work
has been progressing rapidly.
Fishing in the lake is very good,
and numbers Of very large trout are
being caught every day.
Tourists who visit the end of
track can surfeit their eyes with
sand and scenery, and by the aid of
good glass are now able to see
from the train the Bodie wagon
road which passes over the noun
tains on the southwest.

Walker Lake Indians.

The Indians on Walker Lake Res
ervation are at work upon an ex-
tensivs irrigating ditch. Severa Of
the Piutes belonging to this reserva-
ton have fenced in and are cultivat
ing small ranches. A few are doing
odd jobs for white people at the lower
end of the Lake, and there is reason
to hope that in few years enough
exceptional aborigines will be loca-
ted there to form quite an indstIi-
Gus and thriving community.

Como.

The shaft of the Mowhawk mine
in Palmyra District, neSr Como, is
now down ore hundred and twelve
feet. The ledge at this point is
about eight feet wide, and gives as
says ranging from $40 to something
over 500. Strong hopes are enter
tanned that it will be u good milling
proposition. There is a small guam
tity of water coming in, but it is
easily handled.
Adam Welter haa lately taken the
water from another spring to his
mill, aud will have plenty of water
for working purposes this year.
The road to Como is now fairly
passable.
As the season opens the miners
are preparing to resume work. fIot
much is being done as yet, however,
except cleaning out shafts and tun-
nels.

PROCEEDINGS OF THE GRAND

nH

Majority and Minority Reports
Rendered, and Jury Discharg.
ed.
The Grand Jury rendered MAORI
ty and minority reports on last Sat.
urday, and were discharged. The
following are the reports:
THE MAJORITY REPORT.
March 10Th, lSSl,-To the Hon.
VIM. M. Seawell, Judge of Third
Judicial District, Lyon County,
Nevada.
We, the Foreman and m embers of
the Grand Jury for this term, do re-
port rs follows, TO- wit:
That we have examined the books
Of the County Commissioners, the
County Auditor and County Treas
urer, also the script, vouchers
and other evidences OF indebted
ness of Lyon County; also
that we have examined number of
witnesses in reference thereto, aud
find that James X. Shaw, County
Commissioner of Lyon County, has
purchased script OF said county.
Second, that j. d. Sims, County
Treasurer of Lyon County, has pur-
chased script of said county.
1nlrd, that X. A. Cooke, Sheriff of
Lyon County, has purchased script
OF said county.
Fourth, that j. S. Dallas, County
Clerk of Lyon County, has pur-
chased script of said county.
fifth, that G. f. Brant, ex Asses
sor of Lyon County, has purchased
script of said county.
Sixth. We find that the minutes
OF the Board OF County Commission
ers of Lyon County are not full and
complete as they should be, and as
the law intends. Many bills have
been allowed and paid which are
not itemized, and do not mention
what the money was paid for; and,
furthermore, many articles are
charged for at exorbitant rates.
We do not deem it necessary to go
into an examination of the financial
affairs OF the county, as that work
was we'll done by the last Grand
Jury.
We would recommend that here
after the Board of County Commits
sioners do not allow any bills
against the county unless properly
itemIzed, as required by Section 8.

MINORITY REPORT.

Dayton, March 10, lSSl.-To the
Hon. VIM. NJ. Seawell, Judge of
the Third Judicial District of the
State of Nevada.
We, members Of the Grand Jury
for this term 40 report as follows:
We find no occasion TO examine
all the affairs OF the county in min
ute detail, frnn the fact that "A Grand
Jury Just discharged has made II
ve.y thorough and exhaustive re-
port covering all the general mat
ters usually looked into by a Grand
Jury.
We have, however, made full
examination of all the books and
accounts of the Board of County
Commissioners and the papers con-
nected Herewith, including bills,
script and warrants; also the County
AUDITORS books and vouchers, and
the Treasurer's books aud accounts,
and find the same correct.
We would also state that we
have examined the special matters
alluded TO in the instructions of
this Court to us, and find that
while several of the County officers
have indirectly handled County
script, yet, we can find no evidence
of their having handled the same
for the purpose of speculation or
profit to themselves. Neither can
we find that any of the County
Commissioner have furnished any
supplies to the county; nor can we
ascertain that they have been in
terested IN any contracts made by
or for the county.
We find that, in one instance, a
Commissioner sold supplies 10 a
third party, which supplies were
afterward used in construction tor
the county, but such articles were
furnished at the lowest available
market price, and so far from the
county being a sufferer by the trans
action, we find that by drawing
their supplies as above the work
was expedited and the supplies
furnished more cheaply than pro-
durable elsewhere.

Ball Tossing.

The last few days Of fine weather
have given start to the ball tossers
of the town, and every evening the
air is full of leather covered spheres
which are being passed from hand to
hand, and occasionally through a
window. 1t is matter to be noted
carefully by the tossers that q ball
usually goes through window
whether it is open or not, il the said
window happens to be in its path.
Already there have been loud calls
for the. "glass put in" man, and
many more may be expected unless
softer balls are used or different To-
cality chosen for the practice ground.

Out of Bounds.

During the ball play one day this
week teamster vas driving out of
town with an empty barrel in his
wagon. He was driving rapidly,
but not so fast as to prevent ball
sped from skillful batter overtak-
ing and lodging in the barrel. When
the ball lit in the barrel, it was with
in bonds, but before the scout could
oyertahe aud recover il it was away
beyond the limit, and much discus
sion resulted. The umpire took the
matter under advisement, TO the
great dissatisfaction of both sides, as
all were certain of having the law
with them. Local sporting autho-
rites have been called upon to de-
eide.

Danger.

Danger, the Office uog, was pois-
oned ON Tuesday evening by some
dog hater whose nature is more de
based than that of the meanest cur
upou which he ever vented his spite
Tuor Danger was a dog of more
than ordinary merit, possessing al
most human intelligence, be was
free from the wees of humanity. Ill
nature formed no part of his compo-
sition, and he could have lived a
thousand years and would not in
that time have injured any of his
human or canine companions. His
good humor was infnitet and his
loss is regretted by many more than
would mourn the death of his de-
stroyer should the tiend be discov-
cred. ReQuies- dog IN pace.

A Curiosity.

A few days ago Phil Bates, of
Long Valley, brought in newly
Matched out grasshopper to show his
friends, aud putting it in little box
carried it around in his pocket.
Three or tour days elapsed, and up
on opening the box, Phil was aston
ished to fluid the grasshopper giving
birth, so to speak, to worm. The
worm emitted was about half an
inch long, and as white as the driven
snow at first, but after lying in the
box while, turned to redish
color. But stranger still, few hours
passed by, when another worm was
found to be coming from the grass
hopper, and shortly after the grass
hopper died. The box containing
the dead grasshopper and the two
worms has been forwarded to Pre-
fessor j. G. Lennon, aud scien-
tific explanation of the subject is
looked for IN day or two.-Reno
Journal.
That hopper probably discovered
that early rising was better for birds
than grasshoppers.
