THE COURT DECIDED.
Eight-Hour Law is Constitutional

The Supreme Court of Neveda has
handed down decision in the
eight-hour law, sustaining its legal
ity. The opinion is writtea separ-
ately by the three judges Of the
court. Judge Talbot and Judge
Fitzgerald sustained the law, while
Judge Belknap dissents. The law
was passed during the session of the
legislature
1t provides that it shall be unlawful
for any party, company or corpora
ton to work men in mines, mills or
smelters for period of more than
eight hours in twenty-four. The law
was attempted at the legislature Of
the session before, but was beaten
by few votes. At the last session
it passed almost unanimously.
Shortly after its passage an arrest
was made in Gold Hill, the object
being to test the constitutionality of
the law. In the lower courts the
law was declared unconstitutional,
and was Immediately appealed to the
Supreme Court of the State. The
decision has been in the hands OF the
judges for over four months, and its
final decision meets the approval of
the unions of the State, who appeal
ed from the decision of the lower
court.
Attorneys on the other side state
that the law will now go to the Su-
preme Court of the United State.
They intend to push the issue to the
final judgment.

TO WHOM 1T MAY CONCERN.

The analysis of water throughout
the State has far some time back
engaged the attention of the Depart
ment OF Chemistry. As conse-
quence, the analysis of soil samples,
which was first delay by fire and
than by lack of prorer facilities for
their analysis, has been compelled
to suffer neglect, because of the al
most exclusive attention OF the
Department to the current work that
was sent into the laboratory. 1t is
desired now to complete the analy-
sis of the soil samples at the very
earliest opportunity and, therefore,
we take this method OF giving
notice to the friends in the State
that for few months they viii con-
fer favor by not sending any sample
for ,nalysis, unless it be in the case
of an epidemic of disease in some
portions OF the State.
Yours respectfully,
