fused to give the House an excuse, and
said that he had not been in the habit
of playing the fool in attending night
sessions, whereupon some OF the mem

but the matter was smoothed over.

make the suggestion that each side OF the
House select five gentlemen who should
meet and agree upon some plan OF set.

and the House, as a mark Of respect 70
the memory Of the deceased, adjourned

HI MINING LAW.
When Annual Labor Shall Com
mence and End.

The act passed last January does not en-
large the amount of labor to be performed,
but merely fixes the time during which it
is to be done. The object in passing this
law was to establish a uniform time within
which the annual labor should be per-
formed. The law says 1.-THE period dur
ing which the annual labor shall be per-
formed shall commence on the first day Of
January succeeding the date of location"
etc. 1t must be observed that it is the Pc
riod of a term which begins on the first of
January, and not the work. In other
words, if a claim is located Sept. 20, 1880,
you have from the first day Of next Janu-
airy until the 31st day Of December, 1881,
in which to do your work. Instead OF
commencing your work on the first day OF
January, you may do it in May or June,
July or August. You have the whole year
in which to do it. Any one who will take
the trouble to read the law cannot go
wrong. 1t does not say you shall perform
your labor in January, but it says that the
year during which you shall do 1t shall
commence on the first Of January. Now
you can perform your work any time DUR
ing that year. Another Misrepresentation
which we find prevails in some portions OF
the State is founded on the sinking of a dis
covery shaft. The sinking Of q discovery
shaft is not annual labor. You are re-
quired to perform one hundred dollars
worth Of work each year on your mine.
Now you cannot have your mine without
first sinking your ~ten-foot discovery shaft.
After you have discovered the mine, located
and recorded it, then that mine becomes
subject to the requirements of annual Ia
Dor, and not before Mining Review.

American Lords.

The San Francisco Public Opinion says :
ave have in this city eight millionaires,
seventy-nine men who are reputed to be
worth nearly a million, n thousand who
make a living. and two hundred and sew
enty-fve thousand men who either live
upon each other or Upon their wits. Is it
not about time that the people should put
on their thinking caps and put an end to
American despotism2 Where is it written
that Stanford must be lord Of all he sur
veys, or that Croker must lord it even
over the undertaken? Give us a fresh deal
and a new pack of cards. and we will show
you how these Republican legislators will
have to dance to u tune As long as
money becomes more and more concen-
trated, so long will we have hard times and
an uneasy population, and the sooner we
get rid of our American lords the better
for the honest mechanic and the tiller OF
the SOIL"

The Result Of Ignorance,

The Alta finds an explanation in the
present depressed condition of stocks. 1t
is, it says, a pitiable sight to witness the
dizziness which prevails in our circles,
when the remedy for a change is both near
and easy to get. But it seems as il our
stock operators did not possess the ability
or the will to administer the remedy.
While stock speculation has been a boon to
the people of this Coast, in some small de-
tails it has been a positive injury. By it
mining has been given an impetus, and
hundreds Of f1ourishing towns built up,
which but for it would have had no exist
ence to-day. There are as equally good
mines seeking recognition from our stock
people as have ever been placed before
them but the latter seemed to be unable
to comprehend why, in other than their
own favorite districts. This blunder is
Gripping the stock business, impoverish-
ing those who stick to it, and deterring
others from going in to it. The present
situation has been brought about by the
folly, ignorance and infatuation of those of
our Stock Boards who appear to control
affairs there and in general speculation.

Business in $

Francisco Board of Trade was held re-

port stated that the benefits arising from
membership had ceased to be doubtful
The names enrolled in the organization
comprise the majority Of the wholesale
houses Of San Francisco. The general
conditions Of business, as viewed from the
standpoint of failures, have been better
during the year 1880 than for 1879. In
San Francisco during the past year the
failures were Ill, with 81, 795, 900 liabili-
ties, against 221 failures, with SIS, 317, 900 liza
bilities, previous year. In the balance Of
the State the failures were 1874, with ST.
1913, 900 liabilities, in place Of 25l failures,
with 1851, 900 liabilities, in 1879. While
Oregon, Washington Territory and Ne
vada had each a few more failures in 1880
than in 1879, they did not aggregate much
more in money.

THE LEGISLATIVE TICKET.
And the Fight Tom Wren Made for
Its Success.

Its Success.
1t was said after the Republican nomi.
mating convention that the Legislative
ticket was the only portion SLATED" be-
fore the convention met. This was for the
benefit of gudgeons, for old salters knew
better. The influences that carried Wren's
ticket through kept all opponents OF Wal
lace out of the field. There was a thor
ough understanding between Wren, Ho-
bart and Wallace, while Hank Donnelly
was made to believe that his wishes were
followed in everything. 1t is needless to
say that H. d. is a good miner, but in the
classical language Of John Jones, Esq, he
is a damned poor politician. Even jeff
Work was hoodwinked, and JEFF knows
something about politics, you bet.
Early in the fight it looked as though a
square set-to would be made between Wren
and Sharon, the one backed by the Rich
mond, the other by the Eureka Con. mine,
nor was the matter definitely settled until
after the primaries. The writer ran on the
Ruby Hill ticket as an avowed Sharon
man, and the Wrenites set about to defeat
him. The most popular Cornishman on
the Hill was pitted against him, the Rich
mondm mine was turned loose, and it was
currently reported that Tom Wren charged
$3.50 to his profit and loss account when
that days work closed. 1t proved unavail-
ing, however. Tom couldn't count us out,
because we roped too many in.
1t was after the primaries that Charley
Wallace's diplomacy came in. There is
M nan in a tura N uIa ~ ba aa;l 20 n1n-allr,
''let Wren have the delegation, with the
understanding that. Sharon shall have it
after Wren is out Of The fight. OF course"
said Charles, soothingly, "Wren stands
no show, and it is only a matter Of compli-
ment." The argument proved convincing
to Hank, and he accepted, with the proviso
that he should name a portion OF the
ticket. This led to another wrangle. and
the night before the convention the whole
thing came within an ace Of falling
through. B~urlingame, however, was &C.
cepted as the Sharon layout, and was bad
ly laid out. The slate ticket e through
slick as grease. Charley Murphy and Tom
Douglas were both shelved, although both
made a gallant fight in the face Of such
odds.
There was some difficulty in securing the
ticket. Foley was mentioned at one time
and dropped because Of his presumed un-
popularity in certain quarters. Why he
should be so regarded is not exactly clear,
for Of all the circle who have made money
in a way Of which we shall speak hereafter,
Foley is one of the few who have really
benefited the town. He stood aside, how
ever, with the understanding that he
would be the Senatorial nominee two years
hence and would step into the place now so
ably filled by Doolin.
Once in the field, the campaign was as
good as a circus. Wren's friends secuted
the idea of n agreement, tacit or other
wise, with the Sharonites, while the man
ayers of Sharon's fight in Virginia were
unremitting in their efforts to bring their
followers up to the support of the ticket.
Such patriotism was never witnessed in
any campaign in the %Sagebrush State be-
fore.

The Reno Gazette states that while there
were 19,547 voters registered in this State
last year, the number of poll taxes collected
was only 10, $40; indicating that the Asses
sors failed to collect 6,577 poll taxes, not
counting Chinese or aliens. The State
must have lost fully $4,000 by the neglect
Of Assessors, even making allowance for
much fraudulent registration. There is a

stop to this leak by requiring the payment
of poll tax previous to registration.
