jugal condition, place of birth, place OF
birth of parents, whether alien or ma

ural and artificial resources.
In July last | received an appoint
ment as Supervisor or Superintendent

which time have been engaged in ar
ranging and preparing for the active
work, which will commence June LIST,
and will continue to and including the

special branches will be collected as

territory to be covered placing over
each district an enumeration whose du.
tiss will be to collect and forward &c

ded by law. In the selection Of enum
orators, efficiency and ability will be
the controlling elements; political affil
iation will have no bearing whatever

tion and qualifications will be furnished
by addressing letter of inquiry to the
Supervisor at Eureka, Nevada.
