Notice to Inventors.

There was never a time In the his
tory of our country when the demand
for inventions and improvements in
the arts and sciences generally was so
great as now. The conveniences Of
mankind in the factory and Workshop,
the household, on the farm, and In Of
ncial life, require continual accessions
to the appurtenances and implements
of each in order to save labor, time
and expense. The political change in
the administration of governmentdoes
not affect the progress Of the Ameri-
can inventor, who being on the alert,
and ready to preceive the existing de-
flciences, does not permit the affairs
of government to deter him from
quickly conceivlng the remedy to over
come the existing discrepancies. Too
great care cannot be exercised in
choosing a competent and skillful at
torney to prepare and prosecute an
application for patent. Valuable in
forests have been lost and destroyed
in innumerable instances by the en-
ployment of incompetent counsel, and
especially is this advice applicable to
those who adopt the "No patent, no
pay" system. Inventors who intrust
their business to this class efattorneys
do so at imminent risk, as the breadth
and strength of the patent is never
considered in view of a quick endeayor
to get an allowance and obtain the fee
then due. THE PRESS CLAIMS

e. L. Foster, the receiver of the de-

does not propose to let a chance for
making a dime slip by. Occasionally
drafts will be sent to the bank, by mis-
take, for collection. Instead of cor
recting the evident mistake and turn
ing the collection over to the Deming
bank, he attempts to make the col
lection himself and gather in the fee
for doing it. Recently a business
house in L%ordSburg received Il letter
from the receiver of the defunct bank
saying he had 4 draft on them and
would they please remit. The house
drawn on immediately wrote to Mr..
Foster telling him to pay the draft
and charge it to its accoun with the

yet received the cancelled draft it
is fears that Mr.. Foster refused to pay
1t as requested.

Charlie Thomas, formerly a resident
of Stems Pass, was in the city this
week. Some years ago Charlie went
down TO the Yuma country hunting
for gold and says he was very success
full. He owns a one-third interest in
a property that is bonded for $3.50, 900.
There is a shaft on it sixty feet deep
and for the depth of the shaft the ore
is twelve feet wide and averages 500
to the ton Work is being pushed on the
property and a drift will soon be start
ed to show the extent of the chimney.
Charlie had some of the ore with him
which was very rich in gold. Charlie
still retains his interests at Stems
Pass aud came back to attend to the
assessment work on the Pashloky and
other mines in that camp. He is very
confident of the restoration Of silver
and says that when it is restored to
its proper place as q money metal
Stems Pass will he one of the best
camps in either territory.

Professor James Beresford Gregory
was in from Gold Hill this week. He
says things are coming his way by a
large majority. lie is now sinking for
water On the fiat north OF Gold Hill,
and as soon as he develops a sufficient
supply he will build several arrastras,
which he will connect and run by
steam power. He will also build n
or two arrastra basins, which will he
used with the cyanide process for ex-
tracing the last vestage Of the metal
from the ore. The Professor is ia
miliar with the arrastra process hay-
ing worked it very successfully in Col.
orado and is confident he will make a
grand success Of it at Gold Hill. lie
says the strong point Of the arrastras,
when they are properly built with all
joints cemented, as his will be, is that
they save practically all Of the metal
and there is no loss Ia the tailings as
there is at the mills. There is a great
deal OF ore at Gold Hill that will run
from SIS to $40, and the reasons that a
great deal Of money has not been
made out OF the mines there are that
the ore bodies are generally small so it
has been difficult for one mine to keep
a mill running and the loss in the tail
ings Of the ore worked. The profess
sor will overcome these difficulties as
he has several mines from which he
can draw ore and his arrastras will
save, practically, all the metal in the
ore.

our States. and the ease with which jury
service is avoided. Jury duty instead Of az

hardship, and the best men in every com
punity are promo TO take advantage OF

multiplied until now, especially In the
cities. It is with great difficulty that such
a jury as conforms to the spirit or the

not infrequently the gravest cases are
passed upon by professional Jurors-men
who. although in nowise corrupt. are
really incompetent by reason OF the fact
that their sense Of responsibility has be

"A Member Of the City Democratic
Committee" residing on Chureh HILL
writes us a letter arguing that no voter
can vote carelessly on the charter amend
men,s. because his ticket win be read out
IN his hearing. and he can then correct
1t II II is not right.
There our friend errs. The commit
tees plan does rot require that the part
OF tho ticket referring to charter amend
meu,s rhsil be read out on the con-
trary, after requiring the names OF 'he
candidates" voted for TO be read out IL
provides that tho ticket shail be fled 10 De
tailed.
In other words, the system adopted by
the committee II for viva-voce voting as
TO the candidates for the House. but not
as 10 the charter amendments.
We are quite ready &c believe that TINS
was not the purpose Of the CITY Coin-
mittee; nevertheless II was what they
have written in their plan. But ever"
should the plan be corrected in TINS re-
snect. IL will s.ill be ore-sided. ana give
m undue advantage to the advocates Oh
the amendments.
We concede that the making OF the
whole plan viya-voce would be an iih-
provement; but the committee shouio 10
still farther, and take yea and nay
vote on each amendment. Thus, the
voter would be made TO pick and choose
He could then vote for all OF the a''iehu-
ments. or for one. or for none.
Now. in support Of our contention 'hat
the plan does not require the votes on
the charter amendments TO be read OUT
we quote from II as follows:
4 Each person offering 10 vote shall
rreeent his ticket, 30 marked as TO con-
lain only the names OF the candidates
for whom he wishes 10 vote, to one or
the iudyes OF election, who shall receive
same and call aloud the name or the
voter n his name shall be found on
the regi.tration-book, the Judge shall call
aloud the candidates he votes for, anu
place the ballot on hle proviueu
for such purpose. whereupon the
name Of the voter shall be checked on the
registration book by one OF the Judges
and the other Judge shall make tal!y
under the name OF each candidate voted
for UPON the tally-sneet 20 be proVideu
for that purpose. and shall make a tally
under the titls Of each once upon SAID
tally-sheet, indicating whether the voter
voted Ave" or mo" as to filling salu
office by popular vote. The tally-sheet
shall be arranged so that affirmative
votes as to the election OF city oiheers
shor be recorded On one part OF Ihe
sheet and negative votes on another. Inc
clerk shall enter the name OF the voter
upon the poii-book. 20 be provided ior
tha; purpose. o
So. IT viii be seen that the plan pro-
vides that the names Of the candidates
voted for shall be "called aloud, ana
then It deliberately turns It's back upon
the v,va-voce system. and requires that
the ticket shall be filed SO that the cierk
may make a tally as TO the charter-vo'e
