The Arkansas legislature, by a joint reso-
luton, declares that the proper way to pro.
nounce the name of their state is Arkansaw
accent on the last syllable. The next
simplest thing that has been done by a legis.
lature since the enactment of the old Con-
necticut Blue Laws by the general assembly
of that state, is the recent passage of a bill
by the Nebraska legislature, making it a
misdemeanor for one man to treat another
or to ask him to drink.

CHICAGO, March 9.-The 1ribune's Wash
ington special says: The extra interest to be
paid on account of the failure to pass a fund
ing bill before next winter will be about $1O,-
100000 on a 81 per cent. basis, or $l3,OOO,00O
on a 3 per cent. basis Of %refundlng. There
remains uRsold $lO4, 1852, 200 of 4 per cents,
which the secretary of the treasury may sell,
and with the proceeds purchase redeemable
5 per cents or 6 per cents. Whether he will
think it wise to do this may be regarded as
very doubtful.
The Inter-Ocean's Washington special says:
An intimate friend of the president said to-
day that he would probably tender Fred.
Douglass a mission in the place of The mar
shalship of the District of Columbia. The
colored question has been a serious one dur
ing the administration of Hayes, and it is
said at times to have made the situation ur-
pleasant for all concerned. The marshal
here is in a measure a part of the executive
household, and in the capacity of an equal,
which many who had been used to meet per-
sons OF Mr.. Douglass race only in the capac-

high official positions, and the place is one of
the most desirable in the gift Of the govern
ment. AS tar as the other places on this con-
LinenL are concerned, Gen. A. S. Hurlbut, of
illinois, is said to be working for the Mexican
mission; Gov. (nOW congressman PachecO.
Of California, will be strongly recommended
for a position. lie is of Mexican extraction.
while thoroughly American is also by birth
and education an orthodox republican. His
blood, and the fact that he speaks the Spanish
language as well as the English, will be urged
in his behalf as tending to give. him a higher
place IN the confidence of Mexicans than al
most any other mar who could be selected.
This, it is said, will have a peculiar weight at
this time when the attention of the business
men of this country is being turned upon
Mexico, and there is an inclination to atone
for past infringemPnts upon international
courtesy alleged to have been suffered by our
sister republic at our hands. One of the first
appointments. to the leading diplomatic
places ne continent, it is said, will be the
successor OF Munster Chgistiancy. 1t is also
rumered that billiard will not be retained in
the GILLIAN mission. MIR. E. V. Smalley is
said to be anticipating a foreign mission, and
Col. Joh1 Hay, it is said, will be rendered

the purpose of seeing the circus parade

Valley streets ought to be covered with

cards.

PATENT YOUR CLAIMS.

Canitalists and mining men generally.
saws The the Times. Review of Tuscarora,
are BEGINNING to look more closely into
the tifles Of the claims thew purchase
than thew have heretofore been in the
habit of doing. In fact even now. one
of the first questions thew ask is: "Haye
Won a United States patent to your
Claim ?" They have been caught so often
that they are verv cautious about invest.
ing in a mere location, but when they
purchase a Government title thew know
exactly what they are getting, and are
pefectly safe from having claims foated
upon their property. A striking example
Of the difficulty attending the sale of un.
patented mines is of every day occurrence.
While the titles to your mining claims
may be undisputed it is an undeniable
fact that MANY Of them might have been
sold wears ago and the owners ere this
made large fortunes by investments in
other properties from the proceeds of the
sale. The time has passed when an
ordinary location can be sold. An ordin-
ary claim, having a patent on it, can be
sold twice as readily as a much better
property with nothing but mining re-
corder's title. As d general thing East

MINING STATISTICS OF COUNTIES.

lsan Francisco Mining & Scientific pressl
The Mint Bureau of the Treasury De-
partment has authorized the Supcrintend-
emit of the Mint in San Francisco to col
lect statistics of the production OF the
precious metals in the States and Terri
tories of this coast. In accordance with
this authority, circulars asking for in
formation will be sent to every incorpor
ated and private mine; to Wells, Fargo Il
Co. S agents and to prominent merchants
in mining localities for estimates OF the
production of the Chinese, small produc-
ers by arastras, the pan, etc., by which
means it is hoped to receive returns Of the
entire production.
Circulars are sent from the Mint every
six months-January LIST and July LIST
the reason that the production OF the gov
eminent fiscal year which ends June SOth,
is six months each of two years.
The productions will be classified as to
the manner or mode of production
whether argentifcrous, lead ore, vein
quartz, drift, placer or hydraulic, etc.
But what will be of most advantage to
every county will be the publication for
each fiscal year Of the production of the
precious metals of each county-only,
however, in the aggregate or the totals.
Individual returns will not BIO published,
and are seen by no one but the Superin.
tendent and his assistant, the statisticar
in charge, and whom any communication
relative to the production Of mine will
be safely guarded.
This publication of the yield by counties
will be of benefit in attracting attention
of men of means WHO are each week ar
irving in San Francisco from all parts O
the world, and who are often imbuet
with the desire to invest in mining prop
erty-of which we have so much await
ing the advent Of capital-and who viii
naturally look for statistics of the pro
ducton Of gold and silver, and will il
many instances go to those localitie
known to be productive. They can b.
this means often be induced to invest, an
will thus help develop the main industr
which has been the means of making u
noted to the world.
1t is therefore hoped that every mimi
company, large or small, and every perso
receiving circular of inquiry from tn
Mint, will promptly and freely make r.
turns of productions, and impart sue
information as will give each county flu
credit for all it is entitled to, and by tn
means assist in aiding the mining industr
our country.

Beaver Ottoman" June 18th: A ssri-

81 NJ, on the new road to Milford, by
which four soldiers who were working
there were seriously injured 1t seems
that two men were blasting rock, and
having charged hole with giant powder,
were tan,ping it with edge-hammer,
when, as one would naturally suppose, it
exploded, SCATTERING not only the rock,
