But they suffice to show why hydraulic mining 1s at a premum this year, and is constantly. growing in favor with the shrewdest tinanwiers of the age. : Mr. Leahy’s Theery. “Mr. Leahy, having made a con‘tract with J. E. Brown, is p cking over the waste dimp at the Banner mine which is-the result of six or seven years’ working, and is finding ‘considerable good milling ore, that _ he estimates wi l.pay as high as_$35_ per ton. Mr. L. has been prospecting by a tunnel on Canada Hill re“cently, and claims as aresult of his'. researches to have become satisfied that the ledve on which the Merri_ field mine.is situated extends across the country in an-easterly direction, passing in the vicinity of the Banner ‘and Pittsburg mines, He says that ‘this particular lead has not yet been found in either claim, both of them “having opened on lesser ; deposits. His theory has, we believe, been en‘tertaitied by former prospectors, but there have ever as yet been any practi@al developments to substanti‘ate it. If his ideas should prove correct, the section lying east of this city would bea worthy competitor with the western part of the district. ee mee yWhen Work mast be done. Congtessman gives the following interpretation of the law recently enacted relating to the annual assesment work on mining locations. He says: ee “After consulting with the Land Commissioner, I find that he has formally decided that the work ou a claim may be done at any time within the twe ve months beginning with the lst of January, ‘after’ the locatiou has been made, Consequently locators have an entire year, together with the fraction of a year preceding the first of January following the date of ocation, todo their first annual work, Hence, a claim located now(May 15th, 1880) would hold without work until, January, 1882, but some time between January 1, 1881, and January 1, 1882, the work mast be done. This-is the interpretation given by the Attorney General, and may be accepted as the law.’ : Mining Men im New York, _ The corridors of the Fifth Avenue ‘Hotel, says the Wall Street Daily News, are not so crowded as they ‘were a couple of weeks ago. The arrival ef mining men are: few, and most of those who were here during the winter have left for their re--sepective localities. Many of those who came here from Culiforaia with the expsctation of making a fortunes, seem to Wish they had stayed at home, and sv.ne of the papers which ~were svarted to take advauigge of ‘the ~ boom exhibit sfth ptoms of jcollapse. ‘The fact is that the: public) interest in mining -continusa, but there ae tuo many ‘‘wiid-cats” in the market, waich the public is right in’ declining to gouutvasics, Wie: the exwuus, and cinders soon became a fied of much activity. Scores of treasure hunters, including white men and boys, Digger Indians, Chinese and Spaniards, worked industriously, a ey and other valuables, the remain+} der-having-‘‘fisherman’s luck.” —_ -When-it-was-kuowa—that—China-+ town could not be saved, two of the principal merchants thereii hurried. a portion of their stocks into the cellarsunder their stores,and closing the hatchways shoveled several feet of dirt on top. In both instances™ the plan succeeded, for when the next . morning came the goods were found . intact. Ah Moon thus saved most of his, removing three wagon loads during the day. Quong Hee Kee did not have time to protect so large a portion of his stock, and as a result lost $2,000-worth. The fire did not penetrate the cellar, and the TrancrirT reporter*found him. in ‘there Sunday morning,sitting on a box and %. 4 surrounded bya few. hundred dollars’ worth of goods—all that remained of the earnings of many years, he claimed. His face was resting between his hands, and his sorrow . found vent in low, piteous groans, -and a-fixed gaze-through the opening at the clear sky which seemed to mock hissmisery. He was a heavy loser in the fire of 1863, And neither then nor now had any_ insurance, Before Sunday was half gone he erected a canvass covering over the ntrance to. the cellar, and again commenced business. ‘‘Me. no welly good store,” he said to the reporter, who went dewn the stairs, with asad smile and in a tone of, apology; then he brightened up and added, ‘‘but it allee the same when Hee Kee go die.” : J. H. Harrison’s cellar with its contents was not injured. He saved . some clothing, but a”portion of it waa afterwards stolen. Parties who have lost or found articles that were scattered about during the conflagration can advertise the same in the Transcrrer free of charge, by calling at this office. The Chinese are nearly all .of the opinion that the fire was the work of incendiaries intent upon driving them from the city. The boartlers’ at the NewYork Hotel lost clothing and other prop-erty, varying in amount from $20 io $60 apiece. a Thos.

He says the houses brought in enough rent to pay a good interest on $10,000. He will not rebuild at present.

TOTICE is hereby given, That in pursu: ance of an order of the Superior Court in aid for the county ot Nevada, State of California, made on-the 14th day of Februa, 1880, in the matter of the Estate of Wm. a Cummings deceased, the undersigned, admir istrator of said Estate, will, on and after July 7th, 1880, sell at private’ sale, for cash, to the highest bidder, in se te parcels, and subjeet to confirmation by the Superior ' Court, all the right, title, interest and estate of the said intestate at thetime of his death, and all the right, title and interest that the said estate has by operation of law or otherwi ired,other than or in addition to that of the said intestate at the time of his death, in and to those certain lets, piecés-or, parcels ing to the New York Hotel and the one adjoining; across Commercial street, and-tapping Pine street at or pear the lot owned by Wm. Scott. The President of the Board says that Frank Aumer will purchase © the ground between his house and the proposed street, which is to be fifty feet wide on the upper side. The County is already making arrangements to obtain the lots lying on the lower side of the street and extending as far down as Lones’ block at the corner of Commercial and Pine. This will remove any doubt as to the future safety of the Court House, . which has always heretofore been in jeopardy during great fires. At the same time, the pests of all pests, the hotises of -ill-fame that ‘have in the . past disgraced Pine street, will be wiped out permanently. . The Trustees, wi'l probably be compelled to levy a tax of seventy cents on the one hundred dollars (the full limit) in order to carry out the improvements suggested by the fire. The tax-payers will, we_ believe, cheerfully submit to'this bueden under the circumstances. ORIGIN OF THE FIRE. John White, the upholsterer, had been heating some glue with a spirit lamp, and without extinguishing the flame began to stuffa lounge with ‘‘sxcelsior,” a bale of which lay at He says a brick fell from a rickety chimaey Overhead and upset the lamp, Before he could get out of the door, the whele mass of ae his side, excelsior” wag in flames, and nearly all the hair was burned from his head.

There should be a gang of hook and ladder men connected-with the Fire Department. Had one been in existence Saturday, many think the fire conld have been checked long before it was. The city should have two or three hundred buckets, and a large number of new ladders, all marked so that they would not be likely to be stolen, or bo rowed and notreturned. . Shade trees played an important part in aiding the firemen to prevent the spread of the flames. ‘Had it not . been for the row jn front-of the New York Hotel, there is every probability that the Armory wonald have gone, and with it that whole side of the city. In 1864 John I. Caldwell, Esq., tried to get the Board of Trustees to pass a shade-tree ordinance, asa fire precaution, but they laughed at the idea. He then went along Broad street, and urged most of the property owners to plant t in front of their places. Mrs. pe who kept the New York Hotel then, was wiling to do her part in that direction, but said that she could. not afford it. Mr, Caldwell purchased six trees at 25 cents each, presented them to her, and they were planted. It: was those trees that in the opinion of many saved the town from almost complete destruction. Why not pass a shade-tree ordinance for the sake of future satety, Measrs. ‘Trustees ? The —present. maia pipe leadifig from the reservoir over the hill, and feeding the city mains, should be supplemented by another one equa!ly as large. The water siipply of the city should not be limited to the extent it now is during fires, There ought to be enough force to feed not uijy ten or twelve firemen’s hose, all the sinall hose that private iidividuals may use in wetting the sides and roofs of their houses and stores all over the city, if such course is rendered necessary by sp rks and cinders filling the air,—_———<e ——-—— i s To ull who are suffering from the errors ana indiveretions of youth, nervous weakness, early decay, loss of manhood, &e., I wil send a: OF CHARGE.

He says: ee “After consulting with the Land Commissioner, I find that he has formally decided that the work ou a claim may be done at any time within the twe ve months beginning with the lst of January, ‘after’ the locatiou has been made, Consequently locators have an entire year, together with the fraction of a year preceding the first of January following the date of ocation, todo their first annual work, Hence, a claim located now(May 15th, 1880) would hold without work until, January, 1882, but some time between January 1, 1881, and January 1, 1882, the work mast be done. This-is the interpretation given by the Attorney General, and may be accepted as the law.’ : Mining Men im New York, _ The corridors of the Fifth Avenue ‘Hotel, says the Wall Street Daily News, are not so crowded as they ‘were a couple of weeks ago. The arrival ef mining men are: few, and most of those who were here during the winter have left for their re--sepective localities. Many of those who came here from Culiforaia with the expsctation of making a fortunes, seem to Wish they had stayed at home, and sv.ne of the papers which ~were svarted to take advauigge of ‘the ~ boom exhibit sfth ptoms of jcollapse. ‘The fact is that the: public) interest in mining -continusa, but there ae tuo many ‘‘wiid-cats” in the market, waich the public is right in’ declining to gouutvasics, Wie: the exwuus, and cinders soon became a fied of much activity.

In both instances™ the plan succeeded, for when the next . morning came the goods were found . intact. Ah Moon thus saved most of his, removing three wagon loads during the day. Quong Hee Kee did not have time to protect so large a portion of his stock, and as a result lost $2,000-worth. The fire did not penetrate the cellar, and the TrancrirT reporter*found him. in ‘there Sunday morning,sitting on a box and %. 4 surrounded bya few. hundred dollars’ worth of goods—all that remained of the earnings of many years, he claimed. His face was resting between his hands, and his sorrow . found vent in low, piteous groans, -and a-fixed gaze-through the opening at the clear sky which seemed to mock hissmisery. He was a heavy loser in the fire of 1863, And neither then nor now had any_ insurance, Before Sunday was half gone he erected a canvass covering over the ntrance to. the cellar, and again commenced business. ‘‘Me. no welly good store,” he said to the reporter, who went dewn the stairs, with asad smile and in a tone of, apology; then he brightened up and added, ‘‘but it allee the same when Hee Kee go die.” : J. H. Harrison’s cellar with its contents was not injured. He saved . some clothing, but a”portion of it waa afterwards stolen. Parties who have lost or found articles that were scattered about during the conflagration can advertise the same in the Transcrrer free of charge, by calling at this office. The Chinese are nearly all .of the opinion that the fire was the work of incendiaries intent upon driving them from the city.

TOTICE is hereby given, That in pursu: ance of an order of the Superior Court in aid for the county ot Nevada, State of California, made on-the 14th day of Februa, 1880, in the matter of the Estate of Wm. a Cummings deceased, the undersigned, admir istrator of said Estate, will, on and after July 7th, 1880, sell at private’ sale, for cash, to the highest bidder, in se te parcels, and subjeet to confirmation by the Superior ' Court, all the right, title, interest and estate of the said intestate at thetime of his death, and all the right, title and interest that the said estate has by operation of law or otherwi ired,other than or in addition to that of the said intestate at the time of his death, in and to those certain lets, piecés-or, parcels ing to the New York Hotel and the one adjoining; across Commercial street, and-tapping Pine street at or pear the lot owned by Wm. Scott. The President of the Board says that Frank Aumer will purchase © the ground between his house and the proposed street, which is to be fifty feet wide on the upper side. The County is already making arrangements to obtain the lots lying on the lower side of the street and extending as far down as Lones’ block at the corner of Commercial and Pine. This will remove any doubt as to the future safety of the Court House, . which has always heretofore been in jeopardy during great fires. At the same time, the pests of all pests, the hotises of -ill-fame that ‘have in the . past disgraced Pine street, will be wiped out permanently. . The Trustees, wi'l probably be compelled to levy a tax of seventy cents on the one hundred dollars (the full limit) in order to carry out the improvements suggested by the fire. The tax-payers will, we_ believe, cheerfully submit to'this bueden under the circumstances. ORIGIN OF THE FIRE. John White, the upholsterer, had been heating some glue with a spirit lamp, and without extinguishing the flame began to stuffa lounge with ‘‘sxcelsior,” a bale of which lay at He says a brick fell from a rickety chimaey Overhead and upset the lamp, Before he could get out of the door, the whele mass of ae his side, excelsior” wag in flames, and nearly all the hair was burned from his head.

There should be a gang of hook and ladder men connected-with the Fire Department. Had one been in existence Saturday, many think the fire conld have been checked long before it was. The city should have two or three hundred buckets, and a large number of new ladders, all marked so that they would not be likely to be stolen, or bo rowed and notreturned. . Shade trees played an important part in aiding the firemen to prevent the spread of the flames. ‘Had it not . been for the row jn front-of the New York Hotel, there is every probability that the Armory wonald have gone, and with it that whole side of the city. In 1864 John I. Caldwell, Esq., tried to get the Board of Trustees to pass a shade-tree ordinance, asa fire precaution, but they laughed at the idea. He then went along Broad street, and urged most of the property owners to plant t in front of their places. Mrs. pe who kept the New York Hotel then, was wiling to do her part in that direction, but said that she could. not afford it. Mr, Caldwell purchased six trees at 25 cents each, presented them to her, and they were planted. It: was those trees that in the opinion of many saved the town from almost complete destruction. Why not pass a shade-tree ordinance for the sake of future satety, Measrs. ‘Trustees ? The —present. maia pipe leadifig from the reservoir over the hill, and feeding the city mains, should be supplemented by another one equa!ly as large. The water siipply of the city should not be limited to the extent it now is during fires, There ought to be enough force to feed not uijy ten or twelve firemen’s hose, all the sinall hose that private iidividuals may use in wetting the sides and roofs of their houses and stores all over the city, if such course is rendered necessary by sp rks and cinders filling the air,—_———<e ——-—— i s To ull who are suffering from the errors ana indiveretions of youth, nervous weakness, early decay, loss of manhood, &e., I wil send a: OF CHARGE.
