High Grade Ore in Nevada

longer the mine is worked the better It
looks and the more ore bodies are de.

The present system OF indexing transfers
OF real estate is good enough, SO far as il
goes, but it is almost impossible to find
from the records the ownership OF any par
tlcular piece OF land.
The law of the assessment of taxes
passed last winter provides that the clerk
shall make out and turn over to the County
Assessor on the first day OF February OF
each year, a list OF all the taxable property
IN the county, but as these books are in
the hands OF the assessor while he is max
ing the assessment and after that in the
County Treasurer's office they are not
readily accessible. The assessment is made
ON the individual owning the property and
the list is arranged alphabetically, so that
the ownership OF any particular piece can
only be found by looking through the list.
Besides, this list only CONTAINS the taxa
be property, and is not a complete index
to all LANDS transferred and claimed in the
county.
The clerk should keep another index book
showing all trans ers and the ownership of
each piece OF real property. Each township
should be indexed separately, commencing
with section l., and giving each section in
its ordei; then all surveyed mining claims
in the township should be listed in the
order Of their lot numbers, and following
'hese should be a list OF all unsurveyed
m ming claims, that can be located in the
proper township.
Id unsurVeJ ed townships all agricultural
claims should be listed.
This index book should show the date of
each transfer and the grantors and grantees
names ard should have sufficient blank
space to allow for at least ten transfers on
each piece OF property.
These books could he startad fron A.

and they would not interfere with anr ah''

Counting Manager W. 81. McGunnigle, the
Brooklyn club has eighteen men under con-
tract. The players are quiet, gentleinanly
fellows, and are well liked by all the patrons
of Washington park. 1t is a singular thing
about the team that not one of the men was
born or brought up in Brooklyn. In fact,
Terry and Bushong are the only men who re-
side permanently in Brooklyn. When it is
remembered that Long Island is the home of
some of the most famous players on the dia-
mond field today. the fact becomes even more
significant.
Som doubt is expressed whether W.. II.
McGunnigle will manage the Brooklyn team
for next year. He is generally looked upon
In the baseball professional ranks as a "mas-
cotn manager, and has been remarkably sue
cessful in handling every team he has ever
been connected with. Like most successful
managers, McGunnigle was a player himself,
and quite a good one, too. McGunnigle has
been connecte,. with the Brooklyn club for
two years, brought his club In second in the
race in his initial year, and captured the
p%ennant this year. McGunnigle has had a
various experience In the baseball world

game is meant here, Let A represent a
player in a match game, He makes a ten
strike with his first ball, and marks a double
cross on the slate, denoting ten towards the
score OF his first division, or inning, with
two balls to spare, B takes his turn now,
but, as AS playing will suffice to gain our
point, his score will be left out. A now plays
the first ball OF his second inning, and makes
another strike. Another double cross Is
marked below the first one. He Is now twenty
to the good on his first inning and ten on the
second, with two balls to spare. 1t seems
strange TO onlookers that he, while entitled
to six balls for the two innings, should have
used only two and counted nothing. There
must be something wrong.
He now plays the first ball of his third in

reached the point where he can put some
thing down on the slate. The last ball he
bowled completed his first inning, which now
gets scored thirty, leaving him twenty points
good towards his second inning, ten on the
third, and starts him on his fourth with two
balls to spare. Very simple II you under

any longer. He plays the first ball on his
fourth inning, knocking down eight pins.
This finishes his second inning with twenty
eight, which, when added to the previous
thirty, makes hfty-eight to score in his second

A good feat at walking was recently ac-

quite celebrated In this line. The London

time being Mr.. j.. B. Radcliffe, of Newcastle.
The weather during the morning was wet; In
fact, it was raining when Mr.. Smith com
menoed his task at 25 minutes past midday;
but the rain subsequently, ceased, and it re-
manned dry until just before the task was &C
complished- Mr.. Smith, against whom 2 to

The horse Loafer, who has a record below
$50, was sent out to trot against him. The
dog trotted as fair and square as any racer,
and he circied the half-mile track without a
break or skip in 1.52k, the quarter being
trotted in IS seconds The combined weight
of the boy and the sulky was eighty-one
pounds. The track was very rough and
heavy, and the exhibition was very creditable
to driver and dog. The dog is very intelli-
gent and knows just what is expected Of him
when on the track. He frequently looks back
over his shoulder to see II the horse is gain

CHICAGO, Nov. l6.-Business IN the
cattle market is slow with a slight down
grades are steady For The FRS; time il
two months really good natives have been
offered with some freedom, and for the
first time in many months the demand
for that class is a little slack Prominent
exporters are out of the market, leaving
only the regular shippers and dressed
beef operators to compete tor prime, fat
beeyAs. Late private cables quote refrig-
Grated beef steady but slow at I'D, or a
scant 50 per pound, and American live
cattle fc cheaper at 9s9llac, estimated
dead weight. Trade here lacks snap.
Even at this early date the liberal supply
of game and poultry is having a serious
effect on the beef trade and depression
from this cause will increase as the holi-
days approach. Receipts show some de-
crease, but the light run does not help
matters much. owing ID the fact that
wholesale and retail butchers here and all
over the country are heavily stocked up
With beef. aud are therefore not in the
market for usual quantities. A continual
ton Of the very moderate uns OF the
past week would doubtless result in a
general and decided upward movement
soon. but buyers claim the showing will
be in their favor again in n few weeks.
Hence there is plenty OF medium and
heavy fat stock that is hard to sell. Even
natives that are fat and useful are no

dentedly low prices Of the previous week
have been barely sustained.
Comparatively few sales have been
made at above 81. 65 and lesslthan a dozen

that have been fed on corn only thirty to
sixty days and such are not wanted at any
price except as feeders. Some country
shippers have recently bought half fatted

In the meantime canning qualities are
