timely and sensible article to the Vest

IN conducting these ceremonies, al
though few persons have the courage to
break away from the conyentionalities
Of the day.
The reform most vital in regard TO
funerals, of course. is in the matter of
expense. They are habitually more
costly than they should be. An ex-
pensive funeral 10 not necessary to show
respect to the dead. although that has
become the common opinion among
people of little education. There is

THE SOURCE or A DIFFIcULTY---The

are scores and hundreds of such men

But Mr.. Harrison has set himself

THE NEW MINING LAW,

We observe that Senator Stewart has
undertaken a complete revision Of the
United States mining laws. The bill has
been favorably reported from the Com.
mittee on Mines and Mining and is now
in q fair way to pass. We regard some
Of the new features as excellent, while
some others are not demanded by the
necessities of the case. The changing of
the time for the performances of assess.
ment work from mid winter to mid.sum.
mel is especially proper and desirable.
But all changes should be shorn as much
as possible Of ambiguity and mistifica-
tion. The simpler the law the better.
Our present system of laws has been adj
Indicated in pretty much all phases.
Radical innovations, unless there shall
appear q pressing necessity for them, will
not be received with favor by the miners
of the West. We do not critioise the
features OF Senator Stewards new bill,
because we have not seen them set out in
full, but we do urge upon his attention
extreme caution In any change from the
present law. We find no embarrassment
In saying, however, that the Senator Is
well equipped to deal with the subject
as any man in public life, having been
the author of u present code.

HARQUA
The Arizona Ell Dorado and what
IL said of it.

We wrote in the SENTINEL a few
weeks ago that ex-Sherif Bob Stein
was reported to have found a great
bonanza in Arizona, not far from the
Needles, on the Colorado river. We
have since seen a good many accounts
in the newspapers concerning the new
district. Some writers say it is a rich
region, while others declare that there
is nothing of value in it except the
original claims located by the Stein
party. All agree that there r at
least two good mines in the place.
The claim called the "Bob Stein,"
named in honor of the discoverer, is
said to yield gold quartz worth from
one to five thousand dollars to the ton.
The quartz is described to be of the
rotten decomposed variety. The
mountains have been located for five
miles in all directions. The range in
which the mineral is found is called
the "Harqua Halla" mountains. A
town has already been laid out and
there were at latest advices 800 miners
in the new camp. Four tent saloons
have been started. "Harqua Halla"
has already enjoyed its man for break
fast, the result of a shooting scrape.
The miners jury held the killing to
have been done in self-defense. The new
camp is attracting wide attention and
the rush has set in from every part OF
the compass. A half dozen rich claims
would serve to draw a great crowd, as
people all over the coast are eager for
Just one more old-fashioned mining
excitement. There is nothing that
will make an old timer prick up his
ears so sharply as reports of new and
rich mining discoveries. He is ready
to pack his blankets and frying pan
and hasten to the front. This latest
reported find is in a good locality.
The climate is genial and the district
is easy of access. Taking the Santa
Fe road from Los Angeles or Yuma a
person may go within forty miles Of it
by rail. There is said to be plenty of
timber on the mountains near by.
Water is not so plentiful, but it may
be had in abundance three miles from
the mines. Ii the published stories
are correct the conditions are all IA
vorable for a good big excitement.
One correspondent predicts that there
will be 5000 people on the ground in
90 days. We hope that those who go
may not meet with disappointment.
But there is no occasion for a STAN
pede. People had as well wait until
the rose-tinted reports are fully veri-
fed by the logic of events. If there is
a great mineral belt in the "Harqua
Halla" range it cannot be exhausted
in a day or a year. 1t will keep until
all hands a get good and ready to
put in an appearance.

PRODUCTION OF LEAD IN 1sss.

The New York Engineering and Min.
ing Journal, in q review on the produc.
ton of lead in the United States, says
that the outlook for the coming year is
not encouraging. 1t shows that the pro.
duction in 1887 was 100. 900, and in 1888
it was ls9, 900 net tons. OF this Colorado
produced 65, 900 net tons; Utah, 80. 1000;
Idaho and Montana, (being chiefly from
Idaho,) 5000 tons. The production Of
soft lead from Missouri and Kansas is
given by John VAIL & Co., of st. Louis,
at 20, 900 tons. Other States and Mex.
leo, 3 10000 tons. From Mexican ores,
probably not over 20, 900 tons. or q little
more than ten per cent Of our production.
The quantity from this source is not u.
pecte1 to increase much, even II it be
admitted free, but if o tariff of II per
cent is levied, none whatever could come
in. Idaho is developing into the great
lead district Of this country. The lead
ing mines of Cour d'Alene have been pro-
ducing about IS tons of lead per day, and
the capacity of the district is much be.
yond this if the price of lead should stim.
ulate il.
The Journal estimates the stocks of
lead held in the hands Of dealers and
smelters, December 81, 1883, 1.-THE latter
being unrefined, J at 80, 000@42. 500 tons;
or, say 81 per cent of the years produc.
tion, and says that while stocks are not
excessive as yet, they are sufficient to
depress the market, which, once relieved
from the artificial support which II now
has, would be likely to decline.

JACKSON BOSS OF THE RING.

Pugilism is occupying the largest share
Of the attention Of the daily press these
days. None Of the great journals of the
country think Of appearing without a
column devoted to pugilistic news. The
SENTINEL feels constrained to make an
effort to keep up with the procession, to
the extent, at least, Of noting the more
important transpirings of the Ring, and
especially of the movements of the heavy
weights Of the profession. As matters
look at this writing, Jackson, the colored
Australian hard-hitter, is to-day in com.
mand Of the best muscle on American
soil. This Is made certain from the fact
that Mitchell and Kilrain have recently
departed for England. while our W glo.
rious John L. Sullivan has gone on a big
spree among She dives of Boston, which
will most probably finish him as a cham.
pion fighter. II is known that his friends
have had great trouble for years in pre-.
venting him from destroying himself with
strong drink. 1t will be almost a miracle
if he retains sufficient will power to re-
cover from his relapse and again put him
self in condition to enter the ring. Per-
sons who know the man and bis prone
ness to throw himself away, predict that
his present debauch will end his fighting
days. And they all go that way. The
excitement and the temptation Is too
much for most men to Withstand. Jack.
son is yet a sober man, but a little in.
clined to be bibulous and %jovial. While
he ia at this moment the best man Of his
calling on the North American continent,
King Alcohol may be implicitly relied
upon to knock him out completely in a
year or two if he continues to spar with
him. The odds are on the King.

Presidential Electors Of that State in not
signing their names on the envelope con.
tanning the vote of Texas, and the conse-
quent noncompliance Of it by Acting
Vice President Ingalls,, says: Governor
Ross Immediately telegraphed all the
electors to meet in Austin at once and
prepare another return. There is some
chance of not being able to do this in
time, as some of the electors live in re-
mote parts of the State. If there is a
delay on their part or a loss of even two
hours time on the part of the messenger,
the count will have to be made without

prps.r WE Toll you 10

The SENTISEL recently devoted . brief
editorial article to the then pending cleo
tiou Of a United States Senator in Colo.
RADIO. We gave = list Of the aspirants
with comments on their qualifications.
Among other things we stated il for a
certainty that +. o. wolcott would carry
off the prize. We based this conclusion
upon two we'll established facts. First,
that the Republican party in Colorado
belonged to the railroads, just as il did
in Nevada and California, and secondly,
that wolcott was a railroad attorney and
the railroad candidate for Senator. All
that we then said has since came to pass.
wolcott was elected without serious OPP
position and now holds the certificate for
the next six years, giving the railroad
power another voice in the Senate for
that length Of time. Teller, the osher
Colorado Senator, is also q creature OF
the Union Pacific Railroad and the West
ern Union Telegraph Company. Plumb
and Ingalls,, Of Kansas. wear collars OF
the same brand. From the Pacific Ocean
to the Missouri River. the railroads, with
interests TO serve at Washington. have a
solid delegation in Congress at their COM
mand. No others need apply.

TITLE Given the Legislature BIZ .
Four.Tfme Loser.

"The present Legislature more strongly
resembles q gamblers convention than
anything l can compare it WITH" re-
marked a veteran member Of the frater-
nifty. First among the schemes lobby.
lists are seeking to legalize is the estsb-
lishment Of a State Lottery. The prime
object Of the promoters Of this object is
TO sell out to the Louisiana Company
when its franchise in that State expires.
"Then the proprietors Of faro games
on the Comstock have . little fight Of
their own, one wing lobbying to have q
bill passed to allow the games to be dealt
ON the first floors Of buildings, and the
other fighting against it.
This contest Is due to the down stairs
party being anxious to have q bill passed
TO allow the games to run on the hrst
aoor to improve their whisky trade, which
laneuishes under the present law. The
upstairs contingent is furnishing free
whisky and not interested in saloons, has
mouopolized the patronage Of players.
"Before the date OF Adjournment /
should not be surprised to see q bill
passed legalizing thimble'rig, bunko md
confidence swindlers, thus opening . fine
field for operators like Big Bertha" was
the concluding sentence Of the discourse
Of the four.time loser.
The promoters Of the above mentioned
gambling enterprises have q cloud OF lob
6yists in attendance, striving to get their
measures through by a liberal distribu-
ton Of booze, supplemented by promises
Of large coin subsidies in the future.
It is dogmatically asserted that the
promoters Of the bill petitioning for the
abandonment OF the Indian Reservations
in the Stats have already had surveys
made Of all the valuable land, and appli'
cations made out ready to file the mo-
ment the scheme is ~consumated, the pro
moters Of which can be counted on the

no neduce s.ate raxa.ion.

A bill has been introduced in the Leg.
i~slature by Assemblymsn Pouisde Of Lin
coin county, to reduce State taxation.
1t provides that for the fiscal year com
mencing January l. 1889, and annually
thereafter, an ad valorum tax of IS cents
on each 500 of taxable property shall
be levied. This reduces the State rate
of taxation from 80 cents to rs cents on
each 500 valuation, and is directly in
opposition to the recommendation Of the
State Controller. who thinks the rate
should not be reduced unless the Legisla.
ture can discover some compromising
source of revenue, or enact some law by
which a just valuation of property for
taxable purposes can be secured. Silver

NATURES BOUNDARY.

There is no question as to what should
constitute the boundary line between
Nevada and California. Nature has es-
tablished the Sierra Nevada range as the
proper dividing line. Why the line was
ever placed away over on the eastern
foothills of the great chain, and then
veered off into the valleys as it ran south
ward through the Owens River country,
IL something that we have never under
stood. We once made an effort to inves-
tigate the survey, as defined by law, but
failing to get the proper bearings aban-
doned the undertaking. We had a pretty
we'll defined opinion, however, that the
line originally had been run in the inter.
est Of California, and that Nevada had
been cheated out of valuable territory
which properly belonged to her.
An old question is now being re.opened.
California is being asked to cede us all Of
the territory east of the range, and a
committee Of our Legislature is to 20
over and interview the California Leeis-
Iature on the subject. These steps were
taken once before, and they were met
with a tremendous howl of opposition
from the California press and people. AT
the time to which we refer Mr.. Cassidy
had introduced a bill in Congress asking
Congressional concurrence for the annex.
alton to Nevada of the counties of AL
pine, Mono and Inyo. The California
Legislature would not hear to it. Under
the Constitution of the United States
the assent of Congress and the Legisla-
lures Of both States must be had before
territory can be taken from one State
and given to another. We shall be most
agreeably disappointed if the present
move results in anything tangible. We
have no faith in it, for the reason that it
is simply an effort to thresh over old
straw. But it will give some Of Nevada's
statesmen an opportunityto exhibit them.
selves and sealskins at public expense.
