Please take notice that Philip Geyer and
George Foote were. on the 18th day of January

town Mining District, Lyon County, Nevada
said claim Containing Is, linear feet of which
Philip Geyer then owned and his Estate ever
since his death has owned and still owns two
fiiteenths and George Foote thirteen-hfteenths
until the 9Th day of De. ember 1888. at which
date George Foote assigned his interest in said
claim to VIM. James, who is now the owner
thereof.
That said George Foote has annually from the
18th day of January 1875 to the first day of Jan
uary 1889 at his sole expense expended in work
ing and developing said Mining Claim the sum
of 800 in labor and improvements thereon,
That neither said Geyer, deceased nor his

to their action in the Payne matter may have
been true-it probably was-and that is the
reason the Senators were SO bitterly opposed
to him. But, as before said, he should
have expected nothing else. 1t was their
turn to play the high card and they did SO.

WILL PROBABLY SUE.

At the meeting of the Board OF Commits.
siouers last Monday no action was taken in
regard to the notification from the State that
the special election expenses had been cut
down about IS per cent. although it was
stated by the Chairman that the County Com.
missioners of Storey county would probably
bring suit 10 recover the full amount from
the State that was allowed by them for cleo
ton services. 1t was also suggested by Mr..
Shaw that if suit was to be brought against
the State that il be done jointly by the sew
eral counties. This, it seems, would be u
good idea, as it is evident that none Of the
counties like the reductions made for the
reason that each coonty will be bound to pay
the bills contracted. In Lyon county the re
duc,ion was lighter than in other counties.
The Commissioners acted in good faith; ap.
pointed inspectors, and made preparations
for the election as provided by the law, and
were bound t" foot the bulls. We do not be
lieve that the law contemplales that the State
Board of Examiners shall have any more
power in this matter than to examine the bills
of the several different counties and vouch
for the correctness Of the bills as certified to
by the Commissioners. The heaviest cut in
the expense bills in almost every county was
against the newspapers for advertising, OF
course. The State Board says the law con-
templated that only one publication should
be made Of the election proclamation. This
is not so, nor does the law thus provide.
What it does say is that notice shall be given
FIVE days previous to said election. In this
case, il the paper in which the publication
was made is daily. and the Commissioners
in that county saw fit to publish the notice
each day, we hold they could do SO. In
weekly papers, most all of which are pub
lished on Saturdays, in this State, FIVE days
notice could not be given by publishing the
Saturday hefor. the election, as the election
was held on Monday. 1t therefore required
the Commissioners to have the notice pub.
lished nine days before the election. This
was done IN this county, and the bill allowed
for two insertions. The other reductions
were made in the Clerks fees, Sherf1's fees
and the compensation allowed inspectors. and
mileage allowed messengers. As before
stated, it is no doubt right that the Board Of
Examiners should examine the bills allowed
by each county, and see that they were cor
rectly figured on by the Commissioners, but
that they have the power to adjust these bills
over the Commissioners is very doubtful. l.
is hoped that the suggestion Of the Chairman
Of our Board will be considered. 1t will be
less expensive for each county to try the
matter in this manner than any other way.

The b. 4 O.'s Successful Experiment
With Coke.

PHILADELPHIA, August 23.-The
Baltimore & Ohio limited express
was drawn from Washington to Phil
adelphia to-day by an engine which
used coke for its heating and steam
generating purposes. The train
leaves Washington every morning at
s O'Clock, making the run to Phila-
delphia in three hours. The train
left with 145 pounds of steam in the
boiler Toward the end of the run,
it began to run down, and in spite of
this, the train landed in Philadelphia
three minutes ahead of time. The
officials were highly pleased with
the trial. For long time they have
been trying to devise some method
to do away with the SCOT and cinders
and think they have found it now.
