A Good Mine.

W. c. Wilson of Mojave has Ger.
tainly developed good mine near
the south line of the county. The
location is near the north side of
Indian Wells Valley about twenty
five miles northeast from Coyote
Hole station. 1t is in the Argus
range, where the chain ends on the
edge of the plain. The ledge was
well prospected and the extent and
value of the ore determined before
anything else was done. From an
average sample Selby & Co., of San
Francisco, gave Mr.. Wilson the fol-
lowing return per ton: Gold, 1874 IS;
silver, $l4 88; total, $l49 &C. A
small mill has been erected and is
now about ready for work. = Inyo

A TabuIated Compilation of the
Yield of the Comstock Lode.

Six or seven years ago, under in
struction from the Director of the
Mint at Washington, ALT Doten
compiled a tabulated statement and
narrative of the bullion yield of the
Comstock lode. 1t was given by
calendar years, from the discovery
in 1889, derived from the most
authentic and official sources, show
ing also the total assessments and
dividends and other items of interest.
Since the adjournment of the last
legislature Mr.. Doten, under the
same government official direction.
has revised and extended his report
down to the commencement of the
present year, and it will soon be
published by the Bureau of the Mint
in the Directors annual report,
being the only complete statement
ever given on the subject. 1t shows
the entire gold and silver product of
the Comstock to be over $500, 600, 600.
The discovery year, 1889, gave $30,-
600, 000-all gold. The greatest yield
was in 1877 about, $36, 900, 900. Last
year it was a little over 81, 900, 900.

state that the sampling works at

indefinite period. The manager
states IN his letter that lowing to

down of the mines, we are forced to

The United States Supreme Court
has given strict construction to the
eight hour law. Any work done on
Sunday, and all work done on other
days in excess of the eight-hour
limit, entities the worker to extra
pay. The deficit of one day cannot
be charged against the excess of
another day in order to make an av-
erage of eight hours. Each day must
be separately accounted for, and all
work in excess of eight hours entities
the employe to extra compensation.
The advocates of the eight-hour sys-
tenn could hardly ask for anything
more to their taste than this final
decision.

A Coincidence.

In speaking of the death of Father
Nix last week the Bodie Miner says:
A curious coincidence in connection
with his death is the fact that his
dog, to whom he was greatly attached,
died about five hours after his death.
The dog had been in apparent good
health, and was not poisoned or
taken off by other casualty; but
passed away calmly and peacefully
For the superstitious this incident
will afford fruitful theme for con-
versation.

All of Washington seems to be baskng
