A Theory Exploded.

The theory that leprosy can be inn
parted to a healthy person by injecting
the virus Of a leper into his body is in
a fair way OF being proved ~fallacious.
Ex-Minister Daggett says that four
years ago a Kanaka, sentenced to suf-
fer the death penalty for the murder
OF a Japanese on the Hawaiian ISL
ands, was given the alternative Of hav-
ing the virus of a leper injected into
his system, and. in Ease he contracted
the disease within a certain number of
years, he was was to be sent to the
leper colony at Molokai, but should he
escape incubation he was to be free at
the expiration of the time prescribed.
Although virus from the most loath-
some Of leprosy on the islands
has been injected into the condemned
criminal at intervals during the past
four years, no sign of the disease has
yet been developed.-Virginia Chroni-
Gle.

Why is it that respectable miners,
whose mouthings go to form public
opinion on mining matters, will go on
making misstatements regarding and
to the detriment Of mines which they
never saw the boundaries of which
they never had an opportunity to
know mines which they never we're
in and barely know the locality Of?
People should be careful about reiterat-
ing the statements of thoughtless men
whose sayings are injurious to others
who are striving to developtheir mines
by every legitimate means in their
power. Words of encouragement,
which go to retard the development Of
mines cannot easily be recalled. 1t
is but q few weeks ago that discourage
ing reports we're made by Eureka peo-
pie in San Francisco on some mines
that they never saw, but bad only
heard about from others. These re-
ports had a very serious effect; men
should therefore be careful not to re-
peat damaging statements, but if they
feel at all interested in a mine or pros
pect, go and examine it for themselves.

Sheriff Bassett started last Saturday
with China Jack for the State Prison
at Carson, where he will serve Is
months for selling whisky to Indians.
Jack got his deserts, because he was
unable to defeat Justice with the price
nat sets bad men and perjurers free.
Justice is represented as the blind
Goddess, and it is we'll she does see
the outrageous partiality exhibited
under her mantle. II is enough to
make the angels weep. We assert
again, without fear Of truthful con-
tradiction, that no conviction for
felony can be had in this county
where the criminals have friends and
means to defend them. But after all,
there is some recompense for the
heavy tribute we pay to have Justice
administered. While the blind God
less is often robbed OF her rights, the
public are never deceived, and will al
ways hold in proper esteem those who
are outside Of the State Prison, but
ought TO be within. Law and Justice
are represented as twin sisters, but
the former too often robs the latter OF
her most sacred rights.-White Pine

THERECLAMArroN APPRoPRrA.


The Board OF Reclamation created by
the Legislature 10 dispose Of the $780,
600 appropriated from the School Fund
met at Carson this week, and q synopsis
OF its proceedings is printed in the Silver
State. The questions submitted TO At
torney General Alexander are given in
full. 1t does not seem possible that the
School Fund can be constitutionally
robbed to benefit private enterprises, or
that the fundamental law OF the State
will permit the Legislature to appropri.
ate money to be expended under the d.
rection Of members who took an active
part in securing the passage Of the APP
preparation Act. Three OF the four
Commissioners appointed to determine
where, when and how the money shall
be expended were members Of the Leg.
i~slature and voted for the bill making the
appropriation and authorizing them TO
expend it. II acts Of that character are
constitutional, the Legislature can ap-
propriate every dollar in the School
Fund and in the State Treasury for pri.
vate purposes and authorize the mem
bers who supported the measure 10 ex.
pend it as they please.
The State now owes the School Fund
half . million dollars, $3S0.000 Of which
is in the shape Of 40 irredeemable bond,
which will never be paid. The act I'm.
der consideration increases the State in.
debtedness to the School Fund 500, 900,
and there is not the remotest probability
that the expenditure Of that amount on
the Carson river. as proposed, will bene-
6t the State or increase taxable property
one dollar.
Years ago q State Treasurer robbed
the School Fund Of 500, 900. Suit was
brought against the b%ondsmen, William
Sharon and others, to recover the sum.
When the courts were about to decide
against the bondsmen, q rascally Legis.
lature passed an Act TO release the
bondsmen over the veto Of honored and
honest Governor Bradley. A son Of that
Governor lie q member Of the Board Of
Reclamation, and IL is reasonable to
hope that, like his father, he will n
tion no act to plumber the School Fund.
II the robbery is to be perpetrated under
sanction Of law let the men who enacted
the law and appointed themselves to
carry il into effect, be responsible for it.

The decision of the United States
Supreme Court to the effect that
Notaries Public cannot administer
oaths in cases where United States
matters are involved, promises to lead
to a great deal of trouble. During the
last four years a large number of cases
under the general land laws have been
received for patent at the General
Land Office. Where final proof vas
made before the officer designated by
law for the purpose, and where no
other error was found, they were al
lowed to go to patent but when any
other informality has crept into a filing,
patents will not issue, and it promises
to end in endless litigation, as it affects
the status of more than 100 900 cases

Last Monday morning about 5 o'clock,

Hotel were still fercely smouldering.

lying in the ruins, was broken open
and robbed Of S95 and several articles Of

Of the safe had been left unlocked in the

fire, and the inner door was easily pried
open. The burglar called out to several
persons around, "Im doing this for Mr..
Cooper" and q scar faced confederate,
