Mono Marble.

w. L. Lindsey. the marble Prospecter OF
Mono county, California, was in town this
week. He says that company is to be
formed to work the marble ledge he has dis
covered and that it will be opened up in
great shape some day in the near future.
From tests that he has had made Of the
marble in San Francisco, it is shown that
this Mono marble sta nds the climate OF this
Coast better than either the Italian or Yer
mont marble, as the formation is harder and
firmer, and the marble does not crack when
exposed to the extreme cold weather, nor is
it affected by the hot dry weather, that pre-
walls in some sections of this country during
some portions OF the season. The ledge OF
marble is large one and extends from Mono
county, California, 10 Churchill canyon in
this county. Some day when it is thorough
" worked and the facilities for getting it to
market are better, this find will, no doubt,
prove bonanza to its owners.

A Valuable Medical Treatise.

The edition for 1880 of the sterling Med
cal Annual, known as Hottetter's Almanac,

ANNEXATION AND DIVISION.
Some Sound Suggestions by the "SiI
YER state"

A bill is now before Congress for the divi
sion of California into two States. 1t was
introduced by Representative Vandever, Of
the Los Angeles or Southern District, who
will doubtless press its passage, but without
success, at the present session of Congress,
as the Representatives from the central and
northern part of the State are opposed to it.
That California will ultimately be divided
there is no doubt as diversity Of interests
and the great distance from Siskiyou on the
north to San Diego on the south, will be
urged in favor of the measure. AS there is
now disposition to confer Statehood upon
all the Territories, and annexation is the or
der of the day, why not annex Arizona,
which alone has not sufficient population to
entitle it to admission nor sufficient taxable
property, TO support State Government, TO
Southern California, and all the territory Of
California east Of the summit of the Sierra
Nevada to Nevada2 This would make a
natural boundary between Nevada and Cali
fornia instead Of the artificial and unn atural
one created by law. In early days the opin-
ion was prevalent that the summit of the
great mountain range constituted the east
etn boundary of California, but later surveys
extended the line eastward SO as to include
territory whose climate, soil and products
are similar to those of Nevada. The inhab
itants of that portion Of California are more
closely related to Nevada than to California,
west of the mountains, from which they are
cut off during the Winter season by impassa-
bic barriers, which compel them to travel
north or south according to locality, hundreds
OF miles through Nevada to reach the Cen
trail Pacific Railroad, which furnishes the on
ly means Of communication between the
eastern and western part of the State. AS
the people of the territory which should be
annexed 10 Nevada favor the proposition and
this State should have more inhabitants,
determined effort should be made during the
present Winter, when the Legislatures Of
both States and Congress will be in session,
to make some amicable arrangement which
will result in the consumation of the measure.
California has enough territory and popula
ton for State, and with Arizona, for two
States, without what is known as the eastern
slope of the Sierra, while Nevada requires
more people and taxable property to maintain
respectable standing among its sister States.

The Silver Hill mine, Just above Silver
City, is to be started up at once. At meet
ing of the Directors, held Wednesday, in
San Francisco, A. c. Hamilton was appoint
ed Superintendent and instructed to leave at
once for the property and begin work.
Some years ago an ore strike was made in
this mine on which the stock sold up to $35,
and nothing further was ever done in the
matter. 1t is the intention of the present
management to prospect this find and oper
it up in conjunction with the other import
ant work now going on at that end of tbs

$1,000 in the redemption fund, and when
the bids were opened it made everybody
open their eyes. R. Sadler, of Eureka,
came in first with $I,952 20 which he sur
rendered at 80 cents on the dollar. Next
came an infant IN the script business from
Ely, who raked in 1851 Al at 59H cents
on the dollar. Then came Sol Hip, who
scooped in $6o3 at 90 cents. These two
last bids are the highest figures reached by
White Pine script in twelve years. But a
