The Timber Depreduations, The letter of Representative Page to Secretary Schurz, in regard to the timber depredations on the pubjie land in California, and the methad of compromise which he proposes lor getting rid of the indictments now held over several of the first, citizens of this State, will com‘mend itself to tie sense of justice of every. reasonable man, ‘There is no doubt that the Secretary of the Interior is proceeding upon good legal grounds inordering the prosecution of all who have taken timber from the public lands. There is also no doubt that the men now indicte?,and who are recognized as among the most honorable: citizens of California, were ignorant of the fact that they had no right to the timber whieh they were taking. It is a maxim that should not be strictly construed in all cases. We. venture the assertion that there is nota lawwith all the provisions inciaded: in that musty old volume kuown as the Revised Statutes, and ignorance in such a cusé as this, when no evil intent is even assumed, and certainly no evil has been done, should be held as an excuse, the legal maxim to the contrary notwithstanding. For generations, timber has been taken from the public lands, and as nobody has objected, the right has been tacitly assamed, These gentlemen now under indictment could all, at the nominal rate of $250 an that this was not necessary. Mr. Pago’s proposition js that they be allowed to settle the matter now by paying the . government for the land, and that when this is done the inquashed. This is a perfectlyejust method of compromise, and it is to be hoped that Secretary ‘Scharz will their. character. In all eases his tails in the vast business-over-which rmine started on Friday, yer in the land who is acquainted have purchased the land, timber and acre, bat they honestly “believed dictments pending against them be aud overwork. It-is-nodisparagement to Mr'Orton’s able associates nthe Western Union Company to soy that there is noue to fully fill the vacancy made by bis death. His was-a master mind in many respects. Without being atawyer, he corbined fine legal ‘instincts with broad" statesmen like qualities and unusually quick, shrewd business perceptions and knowledge of men and ‘purpose was to be just. His weakness was the-iilfense earnestness with which he devoted’ himself,to dehalter, said that, two of suffering, a light appeared, and across it a most beautiful avenue of trees. All agree thut the uneasiness is — quite-momentary, that a. pleasurable feeling immedic itely. ‘succeeds, that colors of various huesstart up before the: eyes, and thut these having been gazed” at for ‘a limited space, the rest is ‘oblivion. “Melancholy Case.— E.

Oathe tenth level, séveret hundred feet eastof tbe shaft, a large chamber is being scavated, in which a miss of Mr. Parker and his wife possess some feutares of melancholy interest, About three months ago . one Waller, indicted for murder, was . convicted of manslaughter and sen‘tenced to one year’s: imprisonment in the State Prison. Me, Parker, who was tne agent of the Santa ces of jury trial, for which there nev‘er will be any -reasonable account given, he was,convicted~ and sentenced to ten years in the State Prison, This result was caused by a deep local predjudice against Parker, growing out of the fact that the deceased man was'a brother of the Deputy Sheriff ofthe county. An appeal was taken and Parker releassteam engine, to~b ue run by com. pressed air, is to> ~be. Stationed. From this point a latge be sunk, through which t will hereafter be developed bel: w tenth level. As the ledge at the bottom is now showing larger than formerly, it is found necessary to inerease the crushing capacity of the Fmill, and in addition to the present 35 stamps, 15 more are to be added. Another cage will also be put in the large fore-compartment shaft, which will give three. cage compartments. More water will be required for tlie mill, which renders it necessary toenlarge the company’s ditch. All these improvements and enlargements are coasequent uj on the increased power and. productionof the mine,-and it will take about three months. before they are all completed. With the power the mine can be worked to the depth ‘of 2,000 feet or more; and with 50 stamps the reduction works will be ample for all purposes daring the life of the mine. More power drills will also be. used in order to stumps. It is California’s great gold mine, having paid 104 regular dividends amounting to over $2,300, 000. : <> Tss Eureka Sentinel notes a strange coincidence as follows: «The killing of Gas. Botto and the discussion indulged in over the affair has brought to light a coincidence, as some termit, in the matter. It will be remembered that.a few years ago he killed a mtn—Jack Brannau —and he was acquitted, threats against Botto’s life having been proven on the trial. The trouble originated ~ ever the same amount of coin involved in Saturday night’s tragedy, the shooting oceured .on the samé day of the week, a similar weapon was used, and the precise number of shots fired and wounds ‘received’in each instance.

The Timber Depreduations, The letter of Representative Page to Secretary Schurz, in regard to the timber depredations on the pubjie land in California, and the methad of compromise which he proposes lor getting rid of the indictments now held over several of the first, citizens of this State, will com‘mend itself to tie sense of justice of every. reasonable man, ‘There is no doubt that the Secretary of the Interior is proceeding upon good legal grounds inordering the prosecution of all who have taken timber from the public lands. There is also no doubt that the men now indicte?,and who are recognized as among the most honorable: citizens of California, were ignorant of the fact that they had no right to the timber whieh they were taking. It is a maxim that should not be strictly construed in all cases. We. venture the assertion that there is nota lawwith all the provisions inciaded: in that musty old volume kuown as the Revised Statutes, and ignorance in such a cusé as this, when no evil intent is even assumed, and certainly no evil has been done, should be held as an excuse, the legal maxim to the contrary notwithstanding. For generations, timber has been taken from the public lands, and as nobody has objected, the right has been tacitly assamed, These gentlemen now under indictment could all, at the nominal rate of $250 an that this was not necessary. Mr. Pago’s proposition js that they be allowed to settle the matter now by paying the . government for the land,

and that when this is done the inquashed. This is a perfectlyejust method of compromise, and it is to be hoped that Secretary ‘Scharz will their. character. In all eases his tails in the vast business-over-which rmine started on Friday, yer in the land who is acquainted have purchased the land, timber and acre, bat they honestly “believed dictments pending against them be aud overwork. It-is-nodisparagement to Mr'Orton’s able associates nthe Western Union Company to soy that there is noue to fully fill the vacancy made by bis death.. His was-a master mind in many respects. Without being atawyer, he corbined fine legal ‘instincts with broad" statesmen like qualities and unusually quick, shrewd business perceptions and knowledge of men and ‘purpose was to be just. His weakness was the-iilfense earnestness with which he devoted’ himself,to dehalter, said that, two of suffering, a light appeared, and across it a most beautiful avenue of trees. All agree thut the uneasiness is — quite-momentary, that a. pleasurable feeling immedic itely. ‘succeeds, that colors of various huesstart up before the: eyes, and thut these having been gazed” at for ‘a limited space, the rest is ‘oblivion. “Melancholy Case.— E.

The big compressor at the Idaho find the power drills, which have lain. idle while the new compressor was being )pu¥ in position to take the place of the old one,. are again ut work in the drifts and stopes,says the Union. Oathe tenth level, séveret hundred feet eastof tbe shaft, a large chamber is being scavated, in which a miss of Mr. Parker and his wife possess some feutares of melancholy interest, About three months ago . one Waller, indicted for murder, was . convicted of manslaughter and sen‘tenced to one year’s: imprisonment in the State Prison. Me, Parker, who was tne agent of the Santa ces of jury trial, for which there nev‘er will be any -reasonable account given, he was,convicted~ and sentenced to ten years in the State Prison, This result was caused by a deep local predjudice against Parker, growing out of the fact that the deceased man was'a brother of the Deputy Sheriff ofthe county.. An appeal was taken and Parker releassteam engine, to~b ue run by com. pressed air, is to> ~be. Stationed. From this point a latge be sunk, through which t will hereafter be developed bel: w tenth level. As the ledge at the bottom is now showing larger than formerly, it is found necessary to inerease the crushing capacity of the Fmill, and in addition to the present 35 stamps, 15 more are to be added. Another cage will also be put in the large fore-compartment shaft, which will give three. cage compartments. More water will be required for tlie mill, which renders it necessary toenlarge the company’s ditch. All these improvements and enlargements are coasequent uj on the increased power and. productionof the mine,-and it will take about three months. before they are all completed. With the power the mine can be worked to the depth ‘of 2,000 feet or more; and with 50 stamps the reduction works will be ample for all purposes daring the life of the mine. More power drills will also be. used in order to stumps. It is California’s great gold mine, having paid 104 regular dividends amounting to over $2,300, 000. : <> Tss Eureka Sentinel notes a strange coincidence as follows: «The killing of Gas. Botto and the discussion indulged in over the affair has brought to light a coincidence, as some termit, in the matter. It will be remembered that.a few years ago he killed a mtn—Jack Brannau —and he was acquitted, threats against Botto’s life having been proven on the trial. The trouble originated ~ ever the same amount of coin involved in Saturday night’s tragedy, the shooting oceured .on the samé day of the week, a similar weapon was used, and the precise number of shots fired and wounds ‘received’in each instance.
