chee Shh Se oe ca eae Pe NEVADA CITY; CALIFORNIA. = = EDNESDAY, APRIL 8th, 1868. ADDITIONAL TAXABLE Property.— It is well known that ina case before the Supreme Court recently, the law .> exempting certain classes of property from taxation was declared. unconstitutonal and-the list.of taxable _ property _ Aslargely increased. Mining claims,posOdd Fellows and other halls, Church property, and the property.of Benevo Jent Institutions will now be taxed.— All property except that belonging to the United States, State or county, and __ designated as public property must pay _ taxes. In calculating the basis of taxation for the present year the Committee On Ways and Means estimated the total value of mining claims in the State : at $9,815,000, distributed as follows in . . the several counties: Alpine, $175,000; *~ Amador, $1,000,000; Butte, $500,000 ; Caldveras; $500,000; Del Norte, $150,000; El Dorado, $240,000 ; Fresno, $50,~ 000 ; Inyo, $100,000 ; Klamath, $150,000 ; Kern, $500,000; Mono, $50,000 ; Mariposa, $800,000:; Nevada; 2,000,000; 2. Placer $1,500,000; Plumas, $250,000 ; Trinity, $100,000 ; Tuolumne, $500,000; Tulare, $100,000 ; Yuba, $500,000, In many of the counties the estimates are much too low. In Yuba, for instance, ‘Ville is probably as niuch as the estimates of the value given for the whole county. The Revenue Law provides that property shall be assessed for its full cash value, and under this rule mining claims should be assessed for what they will bring in the market. It would not be fair to base the assessment of min. . ing claims upon the value a year before, because many mines which were then valuable may be worthless, and it ~_ Would not be just to tax mines which have never yielded a dollar to the owners, for until a mine pays itis of no real value, Some uniform rule should be established for the assessment of mines, in order that they may be taxed equally throughout the mining coun__ ties. In. the absence of any regulation by statute, we think that it would be welj for Mr. Watt, the State Controller, who is an experienced miner, to establish _ Some regulations to guide county As_.. Sessors in making assessments of min" ing claims. In the assessment of all -* other property there isa fixed and taxablé basis upon which to make a just . and equitable valuation. Asa general thing all property is assessed too high in the mining counties. Real estate and improvements are in nine cases out __ Of ten assessed for more than it will bring in the market. Such a systeni imposes unjust burdens upon the people because it makes the taxes heavier “than other sections of the State pay. 2 From Nrcarnacva—Mr. A. Delano, on Saturday, received a chocolate serVice, as a present from Mr. H.

The whole set is decidedly unique and ornamental, and Old Block says toa Chocolate drinker it is invaluable, sin the bevarage tastes from these cups as ft can from no other kind. “The cups usedonly a pén-knife, and she has exe_ tures of churches, and a view of a volano with wonderful skill, Another .

They really hope-to rival the . . big city in commerce. The papers of Union men of North Blobmfield have organized the first Union Club of the mpaign inthe county. A correspondent writing from that place, informs us that a permanent organization was effected on last Saturday evening. The following officers were chosen: President, James Marriott.; Vice Presidents, W. A. Johnson, L. K. Reasoner and Thos. Cary; Secretary, C. A. Tilton; Treasurer, R.D, Skidmore. ‘The following resolutions were unanimously Werks, In peace as in war we firmly believe that “in union there is strength,” therefore we, the citizens of North Bloomfield and vicinity, representing the:-loyal element thereof, do hereby form ourselves into an association. the better to know our strength, and =i therefore be it ; ~ Resolved, That we unreservedly ~indorse the Congressional policy of reconstruction of the late rebellious States; and pray for an early triumph of the. same. ane Resolved, That we heartily indorse the bold and manly action of Congress in im hing Andrew Johnson, believing him to be a stumbling-block in the way of reconstruction, recreant to all pledges of loyalty, treacherous and dangerous to the Nation. 2 Resolved, That while we firmly lieve in the steadfast and unflinching loyalty of Géneral U. 8. Grant, and sincerely wish ‘that he may receive the nomination for ‘the Presidency at the hands of the National Republican Convention, we, nevertlieless, pledge ourselves to support the nominee, whoever he may be, if made in honor and good The loyal men of Bloomfield are wide increased vote at the next election. THE BoRER.—Many fine -fruit trees are destroyed by the borer. The eggs from whieh this troublesome worm is hatched are deposited by a brown beetle in early Summer, which makes a smal} hole in the bark, and lays the egg, trusting to Nature to hatch it. young worm feeds first upon the tender the body of the tree, frequently destroying the roots entirely. The pest is said to:be particularly fond of apple and quince trees. The surest remedy is the knife anda pointed implement to’ impale the worm in its hole. Ashes have been tried asa preventive, but} they are injurious to the trees. A piece of oil-cloth tied tightly to the trunk of the tree a few inches above the ground, drawn tightly ‘and the lower edge tied below the surface is a sure pteventive against the insect reaching the bark. GRAFTING grapes is often successfally done, says the Agricultural Report, when the root is large, by boring scions with the bark upon them. _ It is difficult to graft grapes by the ordinary method as the bark is thin and the wood very porous. Se Sie INCORPORATED. — The -Smartaville Consolidated Hydraulic Mining Company hag filed in the office of the County Clerk, Yuba county, their certificate of incorporation. The object of the incorporation, says the Appeal,is to carry on the business of mining on a large consolidation of mining ground at Sucker Flat. Capital stock $150,000, divided into-1,500 shares of $100 each. The Trustees to conduct the business of the Company for the first three months are R. L. Crary; Lambeth Snelt, and James O’Brien. Jostan Mitchell, who was ‘so badly Hill mine, Grass Valley, died a day or health for sonie_time, and the shock . produced by her hushand’s misfortune, and her anxiety, were sa_severe that she died ina few hours afterhim.
