THE STATE LEaISLATURE.
Proceedings In Both Houses Yes.


bFAbAAL ~
CARSON, Jan. 30.-The Senate began bus
mess an hour earlier than usual, q motion
by Foley having been carried, fixing the
hour OF meeting at 10 instead Of II A. M.
In the Assembly Hamill moved to fix the
hour Of meeting OF that body at 1880 A. M.
but was brought into contempt by a mo-
ton OF Pike, to amend it 80 as to make the
lime $50 A. M. Both amendment and mo-
ton we're lost.
A crazy quilt fever had evidently at.
tackled the systems Of the members. Bills
worded precisely alike had been introduced
in each house, appropriating $500 to aid
the Woman's Art and Industrial Associa-
ton OF Nevada. The money was to be ex-
pended to defray the cost OF exhibiting
specimens Of Nevada needlework at New
Orleans, and the surplus to be returned to
the State Treasury. The Senate wrangled
over the proposition all the afternoon, and
listened TO q spread eagle speech from the
Young Senator from Lincoln, and was car
ried away by his ~eloquence and passed the
bill, The Assembly made considerable
sport ont OF the proposition, and finally
sauelched il by indefinitely postponing 1t.
Allen introduced 8 bill for the organizs-
ton OF a Nevada Mining Bureau. 1t calls
for an appropriation OF 81, 900 to defray the
expenses. 1t names the Lieutenant Gov
ernor a. President, and associates with
him az officers OF the Bureau, the Surveyor
General, Controller. superintendent OF
Schools and Secretary Of State This Min
Ing Bureau, if it should materialiZe, Will
have the peculiar distinction of not having
a miner connected with 1t.
Gallagher introduced q bill TO amend the
Militia law. Its principal points are TO
provide for swearing in the men upon
their enlistment, as is customary with all
military organizations, and TO compel the
comnanies TO drill at least one night in
each month, failing in which the monthly
allowance for armory rent shall be denied
Foley introduced a bill organizing tine
State into one Judicial District, with three
Judges. the State 20 pay all salaries mile
age and expenses. The idea is that the
Judges appoint one Of their number as pre-
siding Judge. who shall assign all the
work. The Judges are to proceed to any
comfy where their services are needed.
This salary to be Sc, 900 a year each. They
NAV sit in banc when required, as IL
liable TO be the case in important mining
suits. One Judge must reside at virginia
or Carson; one at Reno or Winnemucca'
and one at Eureka or Austin, they to de-
eide the location among themselves. This
bill seems to have the merit OF all others
combined. and will very likely command
the approval OF the Legislature: :
Folsom of Ormsby introduced a bill IN
the Assembly amending the law providing
for the methods of taxation.

IMPORTANT.

To the People OF Eureka and Vicinity:
We wish to state a few facts which we
hope will place us in q true business
light and on q sound commercial standing
in this community.
First-We say it without fear of success
full contradiction, that we are selling (and
propose to continue to do sol frst-class
dry goods, carpets and gents furnishing
goods as cheap as they are being sold to-
day in San Francisco or any place on this
coast.
second-We have no old and shelf-worn
goods which we offer, but all CLEAN.
NEW, STYLISH materials, selected with
great care from the finest and largest
stocks of goods just opened from the East
by direct importers. We have completed
our arrangements with one of the largest
wholesale houses in the world, to con-
s.antly secure for US the best Of bargains
and the first selection Of new goods in
every instance.
Third-We propose adding q small liv-
ing profit to every article we sell. WE
OFFER NO BATS. OR QUOTE FlC-
TICIOUS PRICES in order to In
duce people to buy, but place our
goods side by side with any and all
competitors, knowing that upon examina-
ton we will come out ahead. we
have one price, and mark every ar
ticle in plain figures, so that every
man, woman or child can see for
themselves just what every article sells
for. Since opening, u store has been
crowded constantly, and each buyer has
left with the verdict that they had been
squarely treated, and served good goods at
low prices. By SPECIAL FAVOR we
have been given inducements by O'Connor,
Moffatt & Co., of San Francisco, in the way
of obtaining goods from their house.
Should any Of the ladies in the community
wish to send away, we keep on hand q
full stock of their samples from every de-
partment to select from, which can be
seen at any time in our store.
Remember, one price to all. square deal,
ing, no bats offered, goods obtained
strictly from first hands, entire satisfac-
ton given or money refunded, and an
earnest desire to please all and obtain a
reasonable share Of your patronage. we
remain respectfully yours,

Expenditures ON Unpatented Mines

Eek penditures on Cnpatente0 Mines.
The Senate Committee on Mines re-
ported favorsbly last Tuesday on Mr..
Maute's memorial and joint resolution
relative to annual expenditures on unpat-
ented mines, a fair synopsis Of which is
embodied in the following. II Is ex-
pressed that our Senators in Congress be
instructed and our Representative be re-
quested to use all honorable efforts to So
cure the enactment Of q law embodying
the same: 1.-The annual expenditure re-
quired by the Act OF Congress, even If
honestly applied in the scientific working
and development of the mine, becomes Of
but little benefit at the expiration Of an
other year by virtue OF tunnels caving,
shafts filling up and atmospheric action,
tending to render the previous years ex-
penditure Of but little benefit to the min
ing industry Of the State; therefore, in
order that mining titles may be protected
and no hsrdships imposed, your memorial
lists most respectfully ask that the owner
or owners of such unpatented mine be re-
quired to perform 500 worth OF labor
upon such u~npatented mine annually, or
he be required to pay annually into the
County Treasury, on or before the 3lst day
Of December, the sun OF $50, TO be cred
tied to the School Fund Of the respective
counties"

the producers 80 cents per pound. There
is q fair profit on the business at the present

The Lake Valley mines in New Mexico
have attained a depth Of only 500 feet, and
have yielded 81, 900, 900 in bullion in the
past three years. The mines at Kingston,
in Sierra county, have 30 far been pros

Several other parties Subsequently
made efforts to get into the section
Of country near Fort Casper for

The Dark Days Of M0ntanS,


The famous "Lost Bonanza. "ol
winch every one in the Territory
taking any interest in mining mat
tcrs has heard 50 much talk, and
the ASSAYS from which, running
1000 ounces 10 the ton. are still fin
e1istance, must, from all indica-
tions, lay somewhere in this sec
ton Of Carbon County. When
this ls discovered, and there seems
to be no room to doubt it's exist
ence, we shall see boom in silver
mining that will leave Lcadville in
the shade Parties who were tor
nerlv in that section and have since
been to Leadville are convinced
from what they have since seen
that Carbon County contains car
donates sn no small quantity, and
several have expressed their ds-
termination to 60 back there and
secure what they believe is in their
grasp.
The history of the Lost Bonnn-
~ is "a follows: it appears that
sometime about the year 1862 a
party Of emigrants, who were on
their way to California, crossed
the Platte River just below what
is known as Fort Casper, on old
John Richards bridge, made one
days drive and c&nped for the
night. Daring the night the
cattle strayed away, and one of
the man while out in the hills hunt
ing them, happened upon pecu
ier appearing ledge Of rock, hav-
i.e a bright metalic luster, a piece
of which he broke eh, took INTO
camp and showed t9 his friends.
.hy piece Of rock was greatly ad-
miced By tasm all, and was carefal-
.i5 sorcd away in one Of the
wago and soon forgotten.
Some time after Noir arrival in
/ California the Piec Of ro.k was
brought forth, .akcu 10 San Fran
cisco and assayed. The return
was a large one, making the orc
fabulously richin silver. The assa,
VIZ soon noised about and large
amounts O.. money offered to the
perty VII. would find and show
the IeaG The first expedition

/ 1868, when two men, q. A. Payne
and James a. Bronan, came down
from Nevada, oatensibly to look
after the oil cprings near Red But.
les but really to try and find the
Lost Bonanza, which they sup
posed was located somewhere near
Independence Rock, on Sweet
water. Ties remained couple
ofweeks, so we are informed by
Colonel John Iricu3, OF the RawI-
ins journal, prospecting in that
vicinity, but failing to find any
tht.ng Payne returned to Nevada,
and Brennan went to Fort Laramie,
where he secured a situation as
guide under old Jim Bridger, the
famous border scout, and was sub
sequently killed by the indians
while out with a scouting party OF
soldiers on Tongue River, near
where tie town OF Big Horn is
now located.
During the summer OF 1868
another party ofthrec men whose
names we now fail TO call to mem
Ory, came out from San Francisco,
organized an expedition at South
Pass and started down the Sweet
water TO try their luck. They told
fabulous stories about the extent
and riches OF the yo.n, stated they
were backed b. Ral.ton, then oi
the Bank Of California, and pro-
tesscl to be ID poeess'on Of certain
data py which they ooald 20 Iiroct
