Grass Vatuey, August 6th, 1875.GENTLEMEN: —Your very kind letter was handed to me on my atrivul here to-day, and is another evidence, of which there have been so many, of the regard and confidence of my fellow citizens of Nevada County. I feel very proud of your endorsement and commendatior, coming from those who have intimately and whose interests are so directly involved in meusures of legislation which I have promoted, that, better than most of my constituents, you know the difficulties in tue way of satisfactory results, that legislation was needed and is beneficial. I know, from testimonials from the mining States and Territories generally, that the mining laws of 1870 and 1872 have been gladly hailed as giving necessary relief to those eng: ged in a great business interest. But no approval could be more intelligent-or-concla-4 sive than that of the principal miners .of this county, irrespective of party, whose names are signed to your letter, In the anxious and difficult progress of legislation, I often’ received valuable suggestions from some of the gentlemen whose-names are signed to this papes;.and owe to that fact largely the success of an experiment that changed the ‘shot gun-title’’ ofminers to afee, made mining investments safe, ‘mining more stable, and tended to make our mining population less nomadic and unseitied. I take great pleasure in accepting your generous invitation, and subscribe myself, with much respect, Truly Yours, A, A. Sancent. To Wa. Warr and others, Card ef Thanks.

Grass Vatuey, August 6th, 1875.GENTLEMEN: —Your very kind letter was handed to me on my atrivul here to-day, and is another evidence, of which there have been so many, of the regard and confidence of my fellow citizens of Nevada County. I feel very proud of your endorsement and commendatior, coming from those who have intimately and whose interests are so directly involved in meusures of legislation which I have promoted, that, better than most of my constituents, you know the difficulties in tue way of satisfactory results, that legislation was needed and is beneficial. I know, from testimonials from the mining States and Territories generally, that the mining laws of 1870 and 1872 have been gladly hailed as giving necessary relief to those eng: ged in a great business interest. But no approval could be more intelligent-or-concla-4 sive than that of the principal miners .of this county, irrespective of party, whose names are signed to your letter, In the anxious and difficult progress of legislation, I often’ received valuable suggestions from some of the gentlemen whose-names are signed to this papes;.and owe to that fact largely the success of an experiment that changed the ‘shot gun-title’’ ofminers to afee, made mining investments safe, ‘mining more stable, and tended to make our mining population less nomadic and unseitied.
