About Reforming Things.
Yesterdays Eastern mail brought the

OFFICE OF THE CIVIL SERVICE REFORM
ASSOCIATION.
NEW YORK, July 90, 1881.
Dear Sir: Recent occurrence have called
special attention to the evils connected
with the present method of appointment
to positions in the Civil Service. 1t is the
desire Of this association, so far as 5 may
be able, to furnish the public with a data
for an intelligent consideration of the
needs of the service, and of the means
which may be taken to make it more
efficient, and to remove the scandals prop
erly attaching to it under the spoils system.
should you desire to discuss the subject
in your columns, it will give our Secretary
great pleasure to furnish you with the pub
locations Of the association and such other
material as may be at his disposal.
Yours very truly,
GEORGE WILLIAM CURTIS, President,
E. p. WHEELER. Chairman Elk. Com.
WILLIAM PoTTs, Secretary.
We suspected before reading half through
the above absorbing epistle to find the
name of that sturdy old reformer, George
William Curtis. We are not much in love
with the professional reformer Of the loud
mouth type. Seldom knew one that
wouldn't steal anything in sight whenever
he got a chance. No, Mr.. Curtis,
we don't care anything about the data OF
your association. There is but one way to
improve the Civil Service. 1t is a simple
method. Turn out corrupt Republicanism
and install honest Democracy. That ii
the short and only way to get back to good
government.

News of Last Saturday.
During Mr.. O'Conor's recent visit to
Egan Canyon and upon his examination
OF the mine, it was decided to put the mill
in running order as soon as the necessary
repairs can be effected. 1t will probably
require several months to do this. A new
and improved roasting furnace will be put
in, and the stamps, pans and machinery
thoroughly o~verhauled. The company
have now on the dump 1900 tor Of $50
rock, and the several slopes in the mine
are yielding considerable high grade ore,
with the general appearance in all parts Of
the mine very favorable.
Three different parties of surveyors are
now 10 the field locating the Eureka & Col
orado Railroad. Grading has commenced
at Thirty-mile Springs and Robinson Can
yon, but the force is not large enough to
remove mountains within the balance Of
this century.
Henry Lyons and Pete Weber have re-
turned from the Base Range. We heard
they had secured the contract to grade the
Z. & C. road from the Diamond Range
clear through to Steptoe Valley. If the
managers don't look sharp they'll switch
her off via Hunter and Egan Canyon.
We learn that a Lodge of the l. o. o. F.
is soon to be organized here. The breth-
rem have sent East for their regalia and
other paraphernalia. They expect to rave
everything in readiness by the 18th or
Goth Of August, when the Lodge will be
instituted.
The mill at Silver Canyon was started
up last Monday. We are informed that a
long run is contemplated. The mines
over there are looking frst-class, and we
shall expect to be able to chronicle regular
bullion shipments from this on.

THE MOTHER LODE.
Captain Foiey's Theory of Two
Great LOdes Passing Through the
District.

Great Lodes Passing Through the
District.
Captain Foley. the ~well-known ~geologist
and scientist, has been talking a great deal
Of late about certain observations which
have led him to conclude that there are at
least two great lo1es passing through this
district from north to south. The Captain
was in town last night, and calling at the
SENTINEL Office, as is his custom, he fur
ther demonstrated his theory.
The miners Of the district have been in
the habit OF characterizing the mineral
belt stretching away from the Bullwhaeker
mine on the north to Secret Canyon OF the
south as one mineralized zone or ledge.
Captain Foley thinks there are certainly
two distinct lodges within the zone That
portion encased within the quartzite and
shale on Ruby Hill is unquestionably one
ledge. But there is another back of it,
conforming very closely to the general d.
rection Of the backbone of Prospect
Mountain. This ledge is separate and dis
tinct from the Ruby Hill vein. The form
atious are in no degree similar. The
prominent feature Of the back or westerly
vein is q ~porphyritic formation,
carrying a much higher grade OF
ore than has ever been found in the Rnby
Hill mines. 1t crosses from Secret Can-
yon along by the head Of New York Cam
yon, and thence down the ridge until it
disappears just west of Ruby Hill proper.
The Captain declares that it can be readily
traced every inch OF the way, and is a
mammoth ledge. He has no shadow Of
doubt that it is to be the scene of grand
mining operations 100 years hence. 1t
promises to be immensely rich in the heart
Of Prospect Mountain. Captain Foley is
working a claim on what he CALLS the
mother lode, which he reports to be look
ing we'll. He has IS feet of ore exposed,
and says the ledge will show a width of
100 feet before the walls are reached. Its
to be hoped the Captain is dead to
rights " ON his new theory.

THE SALARY LAW.
An Extra Session Of the Legisia.
lure Called fnr In ucnenl

suFt thtttu toE I'D eDeN ~.
The Board of County Commissioners Of
this county yesterday adopted a singular
string Of resolutions. Holding that the
salary law is ruinous in its operation, they
ask the Governor to call an extra session OF
the Legislature to repeal it. The remedy
they propose is worse than the disease.
The saving that might be worked In county
expenditures by the ~abrogation OF the law
would be more than offset by increased
revenue required by the State to cover the
cost of an extra session. Besides the State
Is already bordering on the verge Of bank
ruptcy. Whether we like it or not we
shall be compelled to worry along under
it until the meeting Of the Legislature in
1873. Following are the resolutions passed
by the Board:
Whereas: 1t has been fully demonstrated
that the Act Of the Legislature of the State
Of Nevada, commonly known as the Sal
airy Law" passed March IL, 1879, IL al
lowed to remain in force will inevitably
bankrupt a majority Of the counties of the
State; and,
Whereas: II appears from an examina-
ton Of the books OF the Auditor Of this
Will that 10 . oto1ib III tho rum Vi
$14, 1853 SO since the said Salary Law went
into effect. and,
Whereas: II is believed from advices re-
ceived from all points of the State. that the
general good demands a repeal Of that
law; therefore be it
Resolved, BY the Board of County Com
missioners of this county. that the Govern
or of this State be, and is hereby requested
to call an extra session OF the Legislature
for its considering the policy Of repeating
said law.
Resolved, That the several Boards Of
County Commissioners, of the various
counties Of this State be requested to take
action and cooperate in this matter.
Resolved, That the Clerk Of this Board
forward Immediately to lis Excellency. J..
II. Kinkead, Governor Of the State OF Ne
vada, a certified copy Of these resolutions,
and also a like copy to the several Boards
of County Commissioners Of the various
counties Of this State.
Ordered that these resolutions be spread
in full upon the minutes Of this Board, as
expressing the sense and wishes Of said
Board.

The Railroad.

Contractor Hansen mustered a stronger
force Of graders yesterday. There were
about 40 men on the line. Twenty-Five or
thirty more will go out this morning.
There is no doubt that all needed labor
will be obtained. 1t is asserted that no
contracts for grading will be let for two or
three weeks. The present work is being
conducted by the company on the daily
wages basis. The idea seems to be to get at
a fair estimate of the value Of work in this
section before letting contracts.

A cloud burst occurred down in Meadow
Valley Wash last Sunday. and did acme
little damage to the ranches. John Kier-
nan was on his way up the wash at the
time with a load Of melons, and the water
came rolling down with such force that it
washed his horses from off their feet.
Cellars were filed with water, and at
Coburn's place the water carried down
large boulders and deposited them around
the house and garden. The damage lone
by the water will not amount to much.
Pinto, Utah. was also visited by a cloud
burst on Sunday. 1t occurred about 4
o'clock in the afternoon. A couple Of resi-
dences we're washed away, sheds and
stables damaged considerably and a horse
and colt drowned. Notwithstanding that
Pinto is situated on a siding fiat above the
hollow, it is said that the water at one
time flowed through the village six feet
deep. Several persons came very near
being drowned.
At a meeting Of the Board Of Directors,

ITEMS.
Clipped from the Courier Of Last
Saturday.

From County Assessor Morgan we learn
that the grain crop on Currant Greek will
be very large this year. Not one grass
hopper has been seen in that section this
Summer.
Our Tybo correspondent writes that the
company is making regular bullion ship
ments, and that the ore body recently en-
countered in the Two G mine is getting
larger.
Work ON the Barcelona mine goes on as
usual. Superintendent Buford informs us
that one Of the new boilers is in place and
| will soon be ready for use.
Many Indians are gathering pine nuts in
| the eastern part Of the county. TIL crop
is said to be unusually large this season.
Joseph Cuhbins, who is chloriding in
Philadelphia District. says he has recently
encountered some very good ore.
The next term Of the District Court in
and for Nye county promises to be a lively
one.
Undoubtedly Nye county is one of the
most heavily mineralized counties in Ne
