The Legislature of this State, at its session of 1864-5, passed s law making it obligatory on mining com panies to publish their advertise ments in tho county in which the mines are situated, and if no paper be published in the county, “ then in the newspaper nearest to said principal place of business in tho State. This law can be found in the “Statutes of Nevada,” 1864-5, page 361, or in the “Compiled Laws of Nevada,” 1873, vol. II, page 275. We specially oall the attention at this time to this law, having noticed the assessment notice of at least two companies—the Quinn Mining Com pany, location of works. Spring Val iev, Lyon county, Nevada; and the Avalanche Gold and Silver Mining Company, location of works, Silver City, Lyon county, Nevada;—being printed in papers outside the county and not in the paper assigned by law for tbe purpose. The publication of the two Companies above named arc 1 not legal, and any stock sold to pay j assessment can be recovered by due process of law. We caution our readers irom purchasing such stock, as they are sure to have trouble by j so doing. Tbe Times is the proper paper in which to publish all legal advertisements for Lyon county, and we wish it to be understood that it will be our aim to protect the miners of this county. This law was passed for the purpose of guarding the in terests ol tho miners, who have too , often been swindled by publication similar to the ones enumerated. We ! reproduce, from our columns of Aug. 6th, tbe Section particularly setting iorth the law in relation to ■ mining advertisements, which is as follows : Section 10. The stockholders of any corporation formed under this Act may, in the by-laws of the com- i pany, prescribe the times, manner and amount in which the payment of the sums subscribed by them j respectively shall be made; but i» j case the same shall not be so pre scribed, the Trustees shall have j power to demaud and call in from the stockholders the sums by them subscribed, at such times and in such manner, payments or install ments as they may deem proper. In all oases notices of each assess ment shall be given to the stock holder, personally or by publication, once a week for at least four weeks, i in some newspaper published in the county in which the principal place of the company u located, and if none be published in such county, then in the newspaper nearest to said principal place of business in the State. If,’after such notice has been given, any stockholder, shall make default in the payment of the assessment upon the shares held by him, so many of such shares 1 may be sold as will be uecessary for ' the payment of the assessment upon all the shares held by 1dm, her or them. The sale of said shares shall be made as prescribed in the by-laws of the company, but shall in all cases be made at the office ol the company. No sale shall be made except at public auction, to the high est bidder, after a notice of four weeks published as above directed in this section; and at such sale the person who shall pay the asssess rnent due, together with the expen ses of advertising and sale, for the smallest number of shares or portion of a share, as the case may be, shall be deemed the highest bidder. Atrocious Murder.—A telegram from St. Panl, Minn., says an atro cious murder was committed in that place on Sunday night last. Joseph Lyck and wife were assailed in their own yard at about 10 o’clock, as they ware returning home from a visit, by George Rapp and wife and ' George Lanchtenslager, who were lying in wait for them. Mrs. Lyck | was murdered on the spot with a hatchet and horribly mutilated. Rapp and wife attacked Lyck—the former with a soldering-iron, and the woman with a knife—and Anally be was thrown, face down, into a small creek in the yard, and Rapp stood upon the back of his neck to J bold bis iace in the'water until stran gulation should ensue. Rapp was frightened by the approach of foot steps, and Lyck was picked up in sensible, but will die from his wounds. The Coroner’s jury re turned a verdict oi willful murder against tbs assassins, who are in custody. Stabbed.—Sunday night a man named John M oGilvany was severely stabbed in Gold Hill by a man named Johnson. The Lewis Brothers are to be at Armory Hall Friday and Saturday nights.

Special to the Tri-Weekly Times [ByWestekn Chios Teleubaph Linsi.J San Francisco, Nov. 3.—The po lice have not yet been able to find the man who shot and killed Ah Suey last night.

The celebrated buggy robe, which Rice is accused of having appropriated to his own use from the effects of a sui cide, is spread over the rail before His Honor, and experts are to be called to identify it. No new facts have been developed in the case be yond those already made public. Counsel are arguing the case of C’lias. H. Osborne, accused of the murder of William H. Homer, in the Fifteenth District Court, and the case will be submitted to the jury this afternoon. The city papers having severely criticised Chief Cockrill for neglect of duty in the matter of suppressing gambling, he will otlei*-a reward of $100 in each case for evidence which shall lead to the conviction of any person or persons engaged in play ing faro or any other gambling game.

Howard invested over 1300,000 in Government bonds, and used the interest received from such bonds in payment of bona fide claims, jn order to make up the de ficit In public funds caused by pay ment of fraudulent claims. Attorney General Williams, to trtiom was sub mitted certain questions in regard to | the responsibility of Generals How ard and Bullock lor such use of pula ' lie moneys, states that criminal pros edition against them is barred by limitations and opposed by statutes, but they still remain civilly liable, and suits may bo begun against them to recover, and whatever money may be recovered should be turned into the Treasury in the same manner as money recovered from delinquent officers in other cases.

Notwithstanding the splendid performance of Occident on Saturday, his friends are a little nervous about him for the coming race. The jury in the Osborne nitmler ease, after lieirig out all night, eame into court this morning and stated that it was impossible to agree on a verdict, and were discharged. They stood nine for acquittal and three for conviction. The trial will he re sumed at 11 A. M. to-day, belore an other jury. A slight shower of rain fell last night.

It is reported that the revenue officers made a seizure at the Cuca monga wftio vineyard distillery, for a contravention of the excise laws. A gentleman just ill from l’aua niint reports rich discoveries. There is great excitement. The mines are developed sufficiently to warrant the belief that they will excel the fa mous Comstock mines. He says the camp naw contains 700 miners, and more are arriving every day, some from Bakersfield; but the most come from San Bernardino, as it is the cheapest and quickest. Meals can be purchased for 75 cents. The town is tilled with saloons, and gamblers are doing a splendid business. He says he saw $2,000 in one pot—pretty good indication of good times—so old Californians say. Building lots command a high figure—from $">00 to $1,000, and a considerable number change hands at that figure. New buildings are going up rapidly.

Close Contest.—The contest in this county was particularly close between Hazlett ami Bradley, for Governor, and Morrill and Kennedy for the Assembly. Five votes would change the result in either ease, but it transpires that the Re publicans carried the day, thereby saving the reputation of Lvon county as a Republican county’. We have a right to crow, even though “ old broadhorns” gets olf with his man in tlio State. Piper's Opeba House.-The new season commences this evening at this popular place of amusement.

The Returns.—Up to a late hour last night the returns of the State were meagre, but it is conceded that the Republican Legislative ticket is elected, ensuring the election of a Republican United States Senator; also, that Wm. Woodburn, the Re publican candidate, will fill the seat to be made vacant by Mr. Kendall. Further than this no one man is able to say, only conjecture. It is feared that Gov. Bradley is ro-elect ed, Dr. Hazlett not having carried Storey county sufficiently large to counteract the Democratic majority of- the eastern counties. Ormsby county did gloriously, yet it was thought that county should leave iven three hundred for the Doctor. The returns will all t>e in so that we will be enabled to give them in full on Sunday. Biggest Work on Record.—Du ring the month of October the work men in the Sutro Tunnel have been very successful in pushing it for ward. During the week ending October 8th, 83 feet of 10x14 tunnel were made; October 15th, SO feet; October 22d, 81 feet. From October 22d to November 1st, 116 feet, mak ing a total of 360 feet in a single month. This is not only tho largest result yet accomplished, says the Independent, but the greatest month’s work on record in the history of tunnel making. The whole length of tunnel now completed is 7,792 foet. A vein of water has been struck and Tuesday it was some three inches deep in the tunnel. It is, however, tast flowing out and the vein will soon be exhausted, Painfui. Rumor.—It was report ed yesterday morning that Judge Will Campbell had died after a very short illness of pneumonia.
