NEVADA CITY, CAL, ~ Saturday, April 27, 1872. FOR PRESIDENT, Bubjcct to the décision of the National R2 publican Convention. A “Mining at Sweétiand. From all paris of the ridge we learn that more gold is being taken co emeryre more extensive than ever before _. known in that section. The Sweetland Creek Gold Mining Company, owned by English capitalists, under the superintendence of Geo. D. McLean, Esq., are working night and day, giving employment to 45 men, and using'750 inches of water. They clean up every six weeks upon an average of $30,000. The Creek claims owned by the same company clean up from’ $2,500 to $3,000 at .every run of six weeks. -The Buckeye Company are pushing their work ahead very rapidly. . ‘They are running a tunnel] 2,200 feet . in length to reach the bottom gravel, 900 feet being completed, and expeet to have it finished by next Fall. The company is considering the propriety of sinking-anew shaft in. order to put on additional men to rush ‘the \cwork through. The Manzanita Company are running off top dirt which is paying well. tunnel to enable them to reach the pay gravel. 3 The American company on Manzanita Hill, are running ‘night and day and using about 1100 inches of water. They clean up, every two or three weeks, from , $9,000 to $12;000. hel to get in lower to reach the gravel. Banks, Dennigen & °Co., on the same Hill are taking out considerable gold. ~The Yuba company have just startéd in with very bright prospects, Extensive Gravel Claims. From a gentleman who has recently visited Brandy City, in Sierra county, we learn full particulars of extensive mining operations which residents of this county are-engaged “in. Last season Marks & Co., of Moore’s Flat, purchased a gravel elaim ard two ditches, known as the Brandy City claims, for which they paid $75,000. J. M. Hickey, of this : .county,. was appointed superintendent, the claims were immediately put in-good order, and all the modérn appliances brought in use. Mr, Hickey is one ofthe best miners in the Statey and if diggings he has charge of don’t pay, it is almost certain that there is no pay inthem. Sixty days after commencement of work, this company cleaned up the vice little sum of thirty-two thousand and two hundred dollars. The company own two ditches which have a capacity of twelve hundred inches of water each, and they have sufficient ast them the year round. Our informant says they are the most extensive and.zichest gravel diggings on this coast, and it will take twenty years to work the ground out. They give employment to about twenty men. Arnott & Co. and the-Sharp , Bros, are also engaged in mining at Brandy City. They have good ground and their claims are paying them handsomely, ae es 4 Mining at Relief Hill. Work at Relief Hill, in this couns ty, is progressing finely, and nearly all the companies are at work, reaping a rich reward for their enterprise. The Eagle Company at this place is regarded as one of the best, although all the companies have the same character of graveli Some of them are more advanced in their work, and consequently the pay dirt is more -extensive. The Eagle Company is engaged in drifting, working eight men, and clean-up every thirty days. The last run they made yielded them at the rate of $47 to the hand, or in the aggregate of over $11,000 for the’ thirty days run. The Waukeshaw Company are poeta nely in their hydraulic claim. The prospect is, the ground wil)pay better this working a large number of fmen, and eir prospects of large clean ups ate oe good.

This celebrated machine,, invented by Frank H. Fisher, of this city, is gaining in popularity every day. It seems to be the favorite of all the ‘machines made for hydiaulic mining. Those who have.them in nse claim that there-is nothing in the world equal to the Hydraulic Chief for_hydraulic mining. They are made at Fisher’s foundry in this city. We visited the place yesterday, and-noticed he was completing six machines which-have recently been ordered. During the past-season-eight.of them have been put up in the Hydraulic Co’s. claims at La Grange, in Stanislaus county, and preparations are being made for four more. The Calaveras Company have ordered-two for their claims, The Spring Valley Mining Company, at Cherokee Flat, Butte county, have seven in use. Ashburn & Co., at Scott’s Flat, purchased one for their claims a few weeks ago. Sargent & -Jacobs, on Quaker Hill, have two, and Doolittle in Little York township, one. $5 Grand Roll of Honor. _ The following is the Grand Roll of Honor for scholarship and deportment in the Washington High School, Mr. Frank Power, teacher: Laura Ragon, Hattie Rolfe, Maria Mulry, Seraph Nilon,; Fannie Loring, Mary Gray, Katie Madigan, Abbie,Cornell, Lizzie Barker, Louisa Mau, Annie Joy, Louisa Cannon, Hattie Dickerman, Flora Stoakes, Louis Loring, Alfred Porter, Fred Searls, James Kitts. See County Indebtedness. According to the Auditor’s Book the outstanding warrants-of the county up to April Ist, 1872, amounted to $86,003 57; cash on hand, $20,256 09.

At tle forme y Second Intermediate, Miss Emma . has been proven to be superior to . pso Quack Doctors and Sham DiploNot long since a physician in this city, says the Virginia City Znterprise, and.a regular graduate, received a private circular from a medical college in the East, in which the offer. was madé to give any One a diploma as a competent physician or surgeon on the payment of acertain fee. That such diplomas are sold by the hundreds yearly, is quite probable, and some law should be enactéd to put a stop to the infamous practice. The London Saturday Review has a long item on the sale of diplomas by an thatthe University of Philadelphia and the University of Gottingen have -agents in England to sell degrees, with the appropriate hoods, to whoever will buy them. It seems that the pretty. scarlet and black hood of an Oxford M. A. is parccutarty—attractive, much more so than the white hoods or gloomy. black ones of Cambridge, and ‘hence the hoods accom. pahying the degrees issued by the Universities of Gottingen, Brooklyn and Philadelphia are made aftér the attractive pattern of the Oxford hood. The agent who sells the degrees furnishes these hoods, und one house in London has recently furnished.fifty very rich red and black hoods to as many customers. Theissue of sham‘. degrees has been traced to the University of ;Philadelphia, which, in Europé, is confounded with the University of Pennsylvania. The University of Brooklyn is reported to be ‘a myth, while that of Gottingen has Knowl} E 8 ~or bieg E ' grees to whgever will pay for them. The purchaser of these degrees add their titles to their names, and don the parti-colored hoods, and flaunt in society under their purchased plumes. The Review says: ‘‘It is certainly remarkable that the metropolis of transatlantic Quakerdom should have become a manufactory of clerical frippery for Europe.’’ ‘The purchasers of these sham degrees are mainly clergymen or ‘‘principals”’ of schools; and the Review cites various cases of persons of the latter class, keeping schools in;England, who are very ignorant, and who, by tbe aid of hired assistants who are-scholars, maintain and enjoy a credit which is purely fraudulent. It refers to the fact that the medical profession had become so infested with sham degrees that an_act_of Parliament was made. necessary to break up the fraud; and it suggests that perhaps it would not be going too far to prohibit clergymen from designating themselves as “Ph. D.” or “M. A.,” when they have simply bought the title, without either residence or examination at the university which confers it. -e A Woman, says the White Pine News of April 19th, reached this city last week by stage from Eureka, and putup at a lodging house on the lower end of Main street. She represented that she had paid the last money in her possession for passage to this place; and that she came here for the purpose of meeting a man named Scribner. It was ascertained by diligent inquiry that he had been ‘in the city two weeks ago, but is now . gone to the placer mines on the Colorado. Her. story is indeed a sad one: She was bornat_ Auburn, Placer county, California, where her parents are now living». She met Scribner, who was working as.a methanic for. the Central Pacific Railroad Company about'a year ago. He induced: her to leave her house under promise of marriage, and brought her #6 Winnemucca, where they lived” together, unmarried, for four~months, He then deserted hef, and soon after turned up under an assumed name in the employ of the Eureka Consoliyok ining Company at’ Eureka. utfive months after his flight a child was bern, She wrote to him for money, butreceived no answer. Leaving her child at. Winnemucca she went to Eureka in search of him. There she learned that afew days before he had left for Hamilton, and stated above.

Jesus THE Curisr.The author calls this the ‘work of his life. It is not a sectarian plea, but a christian book. He says: ‘‘I have undertaken to write a life of Jesus, the Christ, in the hope of inspiring a deeper interest in the Noble Personage, of whom those matchless histories, the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and’ John, are the chief authentic memorials.
