P.R. R. et al. was resumed at 10 a.-m. Wednesday before Special Examiner 'A.L. Coombs in the United States Circuit Court at San Francisco. The first witness called was R. Neville, who lives at French Corral. Said he was acquainted with all the mines in the vicinity of Lowell Hill. For the past ten years he had owned two-thirds of what is called the Lowell Hill mining property. He was owner in the mine at the time application was made for a patent. He had taken all the necessary legal steps to acquire such patent, and in order to quiet title stood three lawsuits, Said he was induced to purchase Lowell Hill from the excellent showing of the Golden Bull and adjoining mines lying to the southward. Lowell Hill is what they call in mining parlance a drift. mine. Did not succeed in acquiring a patent: They told me at the Land Office that a patent had already been’ issued to the railroad company. This was long after I made my ‘surveys and y application. On. section ere are some spots susceptible. of Itivation, but no legal subdivision n be said to be agricultural land. On Cross-examination, witness said that the way he became possessed of two thirds of the Lowell Hill mine was this: M, Skeahan, its owner, owed -him $200, and he took the mine in payment. He was to give Skeahan more if he ever took anything out of it, but as he had not done so, Skeahan had never received anything more than a receipt for his indebtedness. He admitted: to a question -by . Senator Sargent that the soil and climate of this section was specially well adapted to apple culture. He also stated that section 7 was heavily timbered originally. None of the workings of the Lowell Hill mine are.on section 7, On redirect examination witness said he had not worked the mine. for several reasons, chief among which were the suits against the hydraulic miners by the valley people, and the fact that the land had been patented by the railroad company. On recross examination the witness said that neither the Towle Bros. nor the railroad company had ever stopped his working the mine or cutting timber. M. Skeahan, the prosecuting witness, wasrecalled and. gave a history of his experience of 27 years as a drift miner, 25 of which was in that section. He said section 7 contained gravel deposits of value. THE OTHER SIDE, The first witness for the respondents was Charles E. Uren, County Surveyor of Nevada county. The geological character of the northern portion so far as visible is that of a serpentine formation, which extends as far south as McGuire & Patterson’s ditch. The north hillside of Steep Hollow creek is a serpentine rock, more or less @xposed to view. South of this formation, the county for some distance is. covered with a lava deposit or cap, and again is this formation found near the southern border of the section, The southeast corner of the section is a bare slate point. North of this is found serpentine rock. Witness assisted_in surveying the Golden Bull tunnel in order to locate the air shaft, which is on section 12, There are to be found at the mouth of the shaft-no gold-bearing earth or other debris taken out while sinking that would indicate a gravel deposit. Witness said he had assisted in surveys made at different times in the Golden Bull, Planet, East New York and the Dewey Tunnel. Had run some of the: lines on the Lowell Hill mine. He had observed that the course of the channel in all these mines indicated that it comes from Democrat Hill and~the Wide West mine on section 6, thenve goes southeast to the Knight Boys’ claim, then is cut off by Steep Hollow creek from Lowell Hill, from which it extends down’ through : Golden Bull, Swanip Angel, East New York and down into Liberty Hill. All. these points are weat of the west line of section 7. Witness examined the character of the gravel west of this section, and found that it contained quartz. That: to the. eastward containg no quartz. The inference from that is that ‘the channel was cut off by Steep: Hollow-creek and it all lies west of seven, The grade of the channel in the Golden Bull is three or four feet to tlie hundred. The levels ‘in the different mines indicate this course. Witness said that the air shaft in Golden Bull mine is in section 7, about one hundred feet inside.the west line, and ‘in the extreme east rim rock of the channel. He had. visited. the Mammoth Spring tunnel; examined the gravel atthe dump. It was fine, and such as did not. indicate an ancient river channel. On the! Bear River hills, 600 feet above the bed of the stream, these benches of gravel aré sometimes found, but which do not indicate a river channel. si On cross-examination, witness was closely questioned as to his experience as a civil engineer in the field. He was employed for four years in the Surveyor-General’s office, and had thade a sturdy of geology to familiarize ‘. himself with the gravel and quartz formations .in Placer and Nevada counties. He understood the. principles of drift mining ; Was raised in a hydraulic camp, where‘ an excellent opportunity was afforded to study the geological formations of these sections, He was subjected to a very severe examination as to his theory that the ancient river channel passed westward of and-not: through section 7, His ideas were very clear upon this point. General Carey dwelt upon the fact that as these mining surveys extended into section 7 the miners evidently had adifferent theory as to the location and direction of the gold-bearing gravel channel from that of witness. On redirect testimony witness said it was no unusual thingfor applicants for mineral patents to include in their survey valuable timber and agricultural lands and lands known not to contain mineral, but to be used as dumping places. Senator Sargent said this was undoubtedly the case in this instance,for one of the witnesses on the part of the Government in this case had admitted that he would give $10 per acre for a certain portion of section 7 for agricultural purposes. Allen Towle, the next witness,is one of the firm of Towle Bros; He said they purchased this land from the railroad company in April, 1875. Witness had followed lumbering and mining for many’years and that was his business at present. The south half of the section is good svil; the north half is steep, rough and rocky ,especially so along the course of Steep Hollow creek. On the south half fruit of all kinds can be raised, especially apples and pears. When we bought this section we knew the Government had patented it to the railroad company. We relied upon their patent, believing the Government had acted justly and intelligently, and on that faith we purchased it. He did not know of any one mining on the section at the time of their purchase, and was not aware of any one’s mining on it since. Witness had been mining in that section for the past thirty years. His first mining was done in Steep . Hollow creek, on its north fork. Prospected some on its south fork in section 7 but found nothing that would pay. He considered Steep Hollow and its branches pretty well worked out at that time. I‘could find gold, but not enough to pay expenses, and I left in debt to the trading post. There was no prospecting on section 7 at that time, that I was aware of. I was there again in 1861, and found the place abandoned. I never interfered with anyone mining upon that section. He went to Thompson Hill in 1857, run a tunnel into it and kept drifting in that mine for two years. Am now interested in mines at Dutch Flat, Gold Run and Alta. He never knew of the existence of a gravel channel upon section 7 and did not believe tiieré was one. On cross‘examination, witness said his impression was that they paid $5 per acre for all of section 7. Nearly all of the valuable timber on the south half had been cut off. When the land was bought he did not consider it valuable for mineral and does not now. He knew of the Mammoth Spring tunnel, but never considered the gravel there is gold bearing or indicative of a pay channel. Mr. Skeahan, the prosecuting witness, he was not sure whether he knew him or not. They.had been trying to scrape an acquaintance at the noon recess. He did not know who he was by sight . terial until the commencement of this trial. He had a fine’ garden and orchard at Towles, another at Dutch Flat, and had demonstrated tat lands similar in every respect to those on section 7 were fertile, and good for thé cultivation of fruit. The land, however, they had bought more particularly for the timber. When General Carey pressed the witness to know the extent of his mining experience, the latter replied that he was a big miner until the Sacramento people objected and J udge Sawyer interposed-an objeetion. Why the “Royal’’ is the Best. The improved method by which it has been made possible to produce pure cream of tartar, has had an important bearing upon the manufacture of baking powder. By_ the process heretofore generally employed, it has been found impossible to remove all impurities, more particularly the tartrate of lime, Which remained to such an extent as to greatly impair the quality of the cream of tartar, and to interfere seriously with the strength and wholesomeness of baking powders into which it entered. , In the new process, which is owned by, the Royal Baking Powder Company of New York, and exclusively employed in its extensive tartar works, the imported crude grape acid is 80 treated as to remove all vestige of tartrate of lime or other impurities, giving a product before unknown—a chemically pure cream of tartar. By the employment of these superior facilities,the Royal Baking Powder Company has made the Royal Baking Powder,as the chemists all certify, of the highest possible degree of strength, ‘absolutely pure” and wholesome, and with an always uniform leavening power. It is for these reasons that the ‘Royal’ never fails to produce bread, biscuit, cakes, etc., that are light, sweet, dizestible, and wholesome; the eating of which is never followel by indigestion, or any of those physical discomforts attendant upon the partaking of improperly prepared food. In rendering possible the production of a baking powder possessed of these qualifications, the improved method of refining cream of tartar becomes at once a matter of maimportance to: the culinary world, © Bucklen’s Arnica Salve. @ The best Salve in the world for Cuts, Bruises, Sores, Ulcers, Salt Rheum, Fever Sores, Tetter, Chapped Hands, Chilblains, Corns; ‘and all Skin: Eruptions, and positively cures Piles. or no pay required.

(Grass Valley Tidings of Thursday. . “Go tothe Peabody mine and protect the property from the men,” read a note received by Constable Townsend about noon to-day. The name of a large owner and di rector was signed to the epistle. The constable did as requested. Moral suasion induced the men to appoint a committee to confer with the lessees and endeavor to adjust their differences by arbitration. The Tidings reporter, as a matter of course, got wind of the ruction and investigated. The subjoined tells the story as near as we could learn: Chas. Mills of Grass Valley, Wm. Sleep and two gentlemen named Shurtleff, of Nevada City, are lessees of the Peabody. They have worked the mine for several months under difficulties, and consequently with indifferent financial success. : A-day or so ago a clean-up of ten loads of ore was made, and it yielded over $400. The gold was attached in payment of a debt. The lessees have--recently employed from twelve ‘to twenty men and the men were not paid their wages. The different accounts range as high as $100. > To-day the miners demanded their back pay and were told that there were no.funds to comply with.the demand. ‘Only Wm. Sleep of the lesseés was present, and after .some. parley he stated that the water—motive power of the machinery—had been paid for until Sunday night, and that the men might go to work in the mine and extract ore, crush it and keep the proceeds. . This scheme would not work. It is alleged ominous threats were made. One man said, ‘Hang the he Others expressed themselves as desirous of sending the car down the shaft without the rope attached. Again it was suggested that the machinery be destroyed. At about this juncture the peaceenforcer appeared on the scene. The men were finally persuaded not toendanger life or property, but to seek to amicably arrange matters. A committee of three was appointed to goto Nevada City this afternoon and confer with the Messrs. Shurtleff. Such’ is the condition of affairs at this writing. The Peabody now shows a good ledge which is steadily improving in size. The lessees have a quantity of supplies on hand, and it is thought that an arrangement will be entered into by which the unpaid employes will be given these supplies and the right to extract ore until the amount of wages due each man is realized. LATER, The matter has been satisfactorily arranged between the lessees and the miners. The latter will work the claim on their own hook until they have taken out enough gold to pay the amount due for wages. Then the control of the property will revert to the lessees. aeitnheeaceiln gies Gone to Sacramento. The Sacramento-Bee Says—concerning a worthless fellow who is wanted by Sheriff Lord on a charge-of vagrancy: “Harry Rhodes is now loafing in Sacramento. He is a clever ‘piano pounder,’ and has followed that profession for years, but his talents never take him higher than the beer hall dives. Perhaps his nature keeps him chained to these resorts. Besides being a manipulator of the musical ivories, he prides himself upon being a ‘iover’ and always has with him a female companion who.can assist him in making aliving. He struts about the streets of the Capital City in the nattiest clothing—Prince Albert coat, white pantaloons and dainty gaiters, and on his head shines a silk hat. The Sacramento police would do a good thing to send him back to Nevada City. ; “But Rhodes is not the only bird of his ilk that infests Sacramento. The city is filled with them. This is the Mecca . of all the opium-smoking pilgrims driven from the neighboring cities and towns. The police never interfere with them. The vagrancy law appears to be a dead letter, and the loafers congregate about the numerots melodeons: which infest the city.” Heroes and Heroines, There are few who endure bodily troubles without complaint. Did you ever meet among the heroes or heroines of your acquaintance—if any such there have been—one with a yellowish cast of countenance and that jaundiced aspect generally, which the most unpractised eye recognizes as the product of a disordered liver, who did not complain, and peevishly too, of the soreness of the recalcitrant or, an, of pains beneath the right shou der blade,_of dyspeptic symptoms, constipation and headache?.

The Late Examination. \ There are afloat some ugly rumors in connection with the late teachers’ examination held in this city by the, County Board of Education. It is not only charged that one of the members of the Board had, for some time previous to the examination, been ‘‘coaching”’ persons who intended to write, which is in itself good cause for his removal from the Board according to the judgment of the State Superintendent of Public Instruction, but—that-in—the process of “coaching” certain text) books were used from which many of the questions submitted to. the applicants at the examination were taken almost if not quite ‘‘verbatim et. literatim.”” As Mr. Stone of Grass Valley is the only member of the Board who is said to have specially trained ‘persons for the examination, he should,in case these rumors are not well based, make a statement tothat eect. There is no desire on the part of the Transcript to dohim any injustice. On the contrary, this paper hopes the circumstances were really such that he will be able tounequivovally and emphatically deny the rumors and thus put on them a quietus.

The El Dorado claim, owned by Nevada City men, is making a good showing considering the small amount of work done on it. The vein is in slate and the walls six feet apart. There is a six-inch streak of ochre accompanying the ledge. Taking the ore on and near the surface just as it comes, it would mill about $6 a ton ; but by selecting the best a little lower déwn a result of $40 or $50 a ton could doubtless be realized. The croppings can be traced a distance of 1,500 feet, and it is claimed that by a series of tunnels backs of 200 feet can be obtained. This claim has such excellent natural working advantages that $4 a ton ore ought to pay if found in the quantities that apparently exist. The El Dorado lies a short. distance below the Delhi-mine, about the richness of which there can be no mistake. The Golden Rule claim up that way, prospected a little in 1871, might, be worth taking another trial at. It lies at the head of little Grass Valley, two miles southeast from the Delhi and-El orado. The old owners were J. C. Broderick, R. McMurray, Jas. Donnelly, Jerry Woods, Wm, and John Waldron, F., P. and M. Burns, Wm. Nichols, Thos. Gershon, David Tarbox, John Cary, Jas. Morgan, J. B. Murphy, A. P. Woodsides, Jas. Cragin, Jas. Lowe, A. B. Nixon, and, perhaps, two or three others. A shaft was put down 100 feet, the vein being five or six feet thick. Although some fair samples were obtained from the croppings there was no improvement with depth being attained, which was T quite contrary to expectations. Of course there was not ‘enough work done to prove that a paying mine could not be made of it. The belt in which the El Dorado, Delhi and neighboring claims exist. is fi outlined by a prospector who says he} 'U knows that part of the county like a tends north of the Middle Yuba (which stream it crosses near Jones’s Bar trail) at least as far as Pike City.

To the Dear People of Nevada City and surrounding country: ‘I adopted for my motto sixty-two years ago the ever blessed Scriptural command, “Thou shalt not lie,” and if at times my rigid adherence to this world-re-. vered divine injunction may seem to dim the resplendent glories of my unsurpassable exhibition, I know that eventually the public will discriminate between the solid, substantial, great, grand and costly character of my colossal show, and the loud-mouthed, brazen vaporings of a tribe of mountebanks who perambulate the country with a lot of cast-off, worn-out clap-trap rubbish, which they seek to palm upon the public. as worthy of its patronage.

The Marysville Appeal of Thursday says: Judge Caldwell; of Nevada City, was here yesterday and informally discussed with the Board of Supervisors & proposition in behalf of the Chinese lessees of the Omega mine, lately enjoined. The Chinamen desire to make @ clean-up, and claim that they can do it by ground sluicing without carrying any tailings into the river. One of the Chinamen appeared and spoke of the way in which it could be done, offering to pay the expenses of a man to examine into the matter, and if he reported they could do as they claimed, the expenses of paying men towatch them at the work would be also assumed by them. No-action was taken, but a man will probably be sent up there, under direction of District Attorney Forbes. Chance For a Libel Suit, A fellow signing himself EF. 8.

P.R. R. et al. was resumed at 10 a.-m. Wednesday before Special Examiner 'A.L. Coombs in the United States Circuit Court at San Francisco. The first witness called was R. Neville, who lives at French Corral. Said he was acquainted with all the mines in the vicinity of Lowell Hill. For the past ten years he had owned two-thirds of what is called the Lowell Hill mining property.. He was owner in the mine at the time application was made for a patent. He had taken all the necessary legal steps to acquire such patent, and in order to quiet title stood three lawsuits, Said he was induced to purchase Lowell Hill from the excellent showing of the Golden Bull and adjoining mines lying to the southward. Lowell Hill is what they call in mining parlance a drift. mine. Did not succeed in acquiring a patent: They told me at the Land Office that a patent had already been’ issued to the railroad company. This was long after I made my ‘surveys and y application. On. section ere are some spots susceptible. of Itivation, but no legal subdivision n be said to be agricultural land. On Cross-examination, witness said that the way he became possessed of two thirds of the Lowell Hill mine was this: M, Skeahan, its owner, owed -him $200, and he took the mine in payment. He was to give Skeahan more if he ever took anything out of it, but as he had not done so, Skeahan had never received anything more than a receipt for his indebtedness. He admitted: to a question -by . Senator Sargent that the soil and climate of this section was specially well adapted to apple culture. He also stated that section 7 was heavily timbered originally. None of the workings of the Lowell Hill mine are.on section 7, On redirect examination witness said he had not worked the mine. for several reasons, chief among which were the suits against the hydraulic miners by the valley people, and the fact that the land had been patented by the railroad company. On recross examination the witness said that neither the Towle Bros. nor the railroad company had ever stopped his working the mine or cutting timber. M. Skeahan, the prosecuting witness, wasrecalled and. gave a history of his experience of 27 years as a drift miner, 25 of which was in that section. He said section 7 contained gravel deposits of value. THE OTHER SIDE, The first witness for the respondents was Charles E. Uren, County Surveyor of Nevada county. The geological character of the northern portion so far as visible is that of a serpentine formation, which extends as far south as McGuire & Patterson’s ditch. The north hillside of Steep Hollow creek is a serpentine rock, more or less @xposed to view. South of this formation, the county for some distance is. covered with a lava deposit or cap, and again is this formation found near the southern border of the section, The southeast corner of the section is a bare slate point. North of this is found serpentine rock. Witness assisted_in surveying the Golden Bull tunnel in order to locate the air shaft, which is on section 12, There are to be found at the mouth of the shaft-no gold-bearing earth or other debris taken out while sinking that would indicate a gravel deposit. Witness said he had assisted in surveys made at different times in the Golden Bull, Planet, East New York and the Dewey Tunnel. Had run some of the: lines on the Lowell Hill mine. He had observed that the course of the channel in all these mines indicated that it comes from Democrat Hill and~the Wide West mine on section 6, thenve goes southeast to the Knight Boys’ claim, then is cut off by Steep Hollow creek from Lowell Hill, from which it extends down’ through : Golden Bull, Swanip Angel, East New York and down into Liberty Hill. All. these points are weat of the west line of section 7. Witness examined the character of the gravel west of this section, and found that it contained quartz. That: to the. eastward containg no quartz. The inference from that is that ‘the channel was cut off by Steep: Hollow-creek and it all lies west of seven, The grade of the channel in the Golden Bull is three or four feet to tlie hundred. The levels ‘in the different mines indicate this course. Witness said that the air shaft in Golden Bull mine is in section 7, about one hundred feet inside.the west line, and ‘in the extreme east rim rock of the channel.. He had. visited. the Mammoth Spring tunnel; examined the gravel atthe dump. It was fine, and such as did not. indicate an ancient river channel. On the! Bear River hills, 600 feet above the bed of the stream, these benches of gravel aré sometimes found, but which do not indicate a river channel. si On cross-examination, witness was closely questioned as to his experience as a civil engineer in the field. He was employed for four years in the Surveyor-General’s office, and had thade a sturdy of geology to familiarize ‘. himself with the gravel and quartz formations .in Placer and Nevada counties. He understood the. principles of drift mining ; Was raised in a hydraulic camp, where‘ an excellent opportunity was afforded to study the geological formations of these sections, He was subjected to a very severe examination as to his theory that the ancient river channel passed westward of and-not: through section 7, His ideas were very clear upon this point. General Carey dwelt upon the fact that as these mining surveys extended into section 7 the miners evidently had adifferent theory as to the location and direction of the gold-bearing gravel channel from that of witness. On redirect testimony witness said it was no unusual thingfor applicants for mineral patents to include in their survey valuable timber and agricultural lands and lands known not to contain mineral, but to be used as dumping places. Senator Sargent said this was undoubtedly the case in this instance,for one of the witnesses on the part of the Government in this case had admitted that he would give $10 per acre for a certain portion of section 7 for agricultural purposes. Allen Towle, the next witness,is one of the firm of Towle Bros; He said they purchased this land from the railroad company in April, 1875. Witness had followed lumbering and mining for many’years and that was his business at present. The south half of the section is good svil; the north half is steep, rough and rocky ,especially so along the course of Steep Hollow creek. On the south half fruit of all kinds can be raised, especially apples and pears. When we bought this section we knew the Government had patented it to the railroad company. We relied upon their patent, believing the Government had acted justly and intelligently, and on that faith we purchased it. He did not know of any one mining on the section at the time of their purchase, and was not aware of any one’s mining on it since. Witness had been mining in that section for the past thirty years. His first mining was done in Steep . Hollow creek, on its north fork. Prospected some on its south fork in section 7 but found nothing that would pay. He considered Steep Hollow and its branches pretty well worked out at that time. I‘could find gold, but not enough to pay expenses, and I left in debt to the trading post. There was no prospecting on section 7 at that time, that I was aware of. I was there again in 1861, and found the place abandoned. I never interfered with anyone mining upon that section. He went to Thompson Hill in 1857, run a tunnel into it and kept drifting in that mine for two years. Am now interested in mines at Dutch Flat, Gold Run and Alta. He never knew of the existence of a gravel channel upon section 7 and did not believe tiieré was one. On cross‘examination, witness said his impression was that they paid $5 per acre for all of section 7. Nearly all of the valuable timber on the south half had been cut off. When the land was bought he did not consider it valuable for mineral and does not now. He knew of the Mammoth Spring tunnel, but never considered the gravel there is gold bearing or indicative of a pay channel. Mr. Skeahan, the prosecuting witness, he was not sure whether he knew him or not. They.had been trying to scrape an acquaintance at the noon recess. He did not know who he was by sight . terial until the commencement of this trial. He had a fine’ garden and orchard at Towles, another at Dutch Flat, and had demonstrated tat lands similar in every respect to those on section 7 were fertile, and good for thé cultivation of fruit. The land, however, they had bought more particularly for the timber. When General Carey pressed the witness to know the extent of his mining experience, the latter replied that he was a big miner until the Sacramento people objected and J udge Sawyer interposed-an objeetion. Why the “Royal’’ is the Best. The improved method by which it has been made possible to produce pure cream of tartar, has had an important bearing upon the manufacture of baking powder. By_ the process heretofore generally employed, it has been found impossible to remove all impurities, more particularly the tartrate of lime, Which remained to such an extent as to greatly impair the quality of the cream of tartar, and to interfere seriously with the strength and wholesomeness of baking powders into which it entered. , In the new process, which is owned by, the Royal Baking Powder Company of New York, and exclusively employed in its extensive tartar works, the imported crude grape acid is 80 treated as to remove all vestige of tartrate of lime or other impurities, giving a product before unknown—a chemically pure cream of tartar. By the employment of these superior facilities,the Royal Baking Powder Company has made the Royal Baking Powder,as the chemists all certify, of the highest possible degree of strength, ‘absolutely pure” and wholesome, and with an always uniform leavening power. It is for these reasons that the ‘Royal’ never fails to produce bread, biscuit, cakes, etc., that are light, sweet, dizestible, and wholesome; the eating of which is never followel by indigestion, or any of those physical discomforts attendant upon the partaking of improperly prepared food.

(Grass Valley Tidings of Thursday. . “Go tothe Peabody mine and protect the property from the men,” read a note received by Constable Townsend about noon to-day. The name of a large owner and di rector was signed to the epistle. The constable did as requested. Moral suasion induced the men to appoint a committee to confer with the lessees and endeavor to adjust their differences by arbitration. The Tidings reporter, as a matter of course, got wind of the ruction and investigated. The subjoined tells the story as near as we could learn: Chas. Mills of Grass Valley, Wm. Sleep and two gentlemen named Shurtleff, of Nevada City, are lessees of the Peabody. They have worked the mine for several months under difficulties, and consequently with indifferent financial success. : A-day or so ago a clean-up of ten loads of ore was made, and it yielded over $400. The gold was attached in payment of a debt. The lessees have--recently employed from twelve ‘to twenty men and the men were not paid their wages. The different accounts range as high as $100. > To-day the miners demanded their back pay and were told that there were no.funds to comply with.the demand. ‘Only Wm. Sleep of the lesseés was present, and after .some. parley he stated that the water—motive power of the machinery—had been paid for until Sunday night, and that the men might go to work in the mine and extract ore, crush it and keep the proceeds. . This scheme would not work. It is alleged ominous threats were made. One man said, ‘Hang the he Others expressed themselves as desirous of sending the car down the shaft without the rope attached. Again it was suggested that the machinery be destroyed. At about this juncture the peaceenforcer appeared on the scene. The men were finally persuaded not toendanger life or property, but to seek to amicably arrange matters. A committee of three was appointed to goto Nevada City this afternoon and confer with the Messrs. Shurtleff. Such’ is the condition of affairs at this writing. The Peabody now shows a good ledge which is steadily improving in size. The lessees have a quantity of supplies on hand, and it is thought that an arrangement will be entered into by which the unpaid employes will be given these supplies and the right to extract ore until the amount of wages due each man is realized. LATER, The matter has been satisfactorily arranged between the lessees and the miners. The latter will work the claim on their own hook until they have taken out enough gold to pay the amount due for wages. Then the control of the property will revert to the lessees. aeitnheeaceiln gies Gone to Sacramento. The Sacramento-Bee Says—concerning a worthless fellow who is wanted by Sheriff Lord on a charge-of vagrancy: “Harry Rhodes is now loafing in Sacramento. He is a clever ‘piano pounder,’ and has followed that profession for years, but his talents never take him higher than the beer hall dives. Perhaps his nature keeps him chained to these resorts. Besides being a manipulator of the musical ivories, he prides himself upon being a ‘iover’ and always has with him a female companion who.can assist him in making aliving. He struts about the streets of the Capital City in the nattiest clothing—Prince Albert coat, white pantaloons and dainty gaiters, and on his head shines a silk hat. The Sacramento police would do a good thing to send him back to Nevada City. ; “But Rhodes is not the only bird of his ilk that infests Sacramento. The city is filled with them. This is the Mecca . of all the opium-smoking pilgrims driven from the neighboring cities and towns. The police never interfere with them. The vagrancy law appears to be a dead letter, and the loafers congregate about the numerots melodeons: which infest the city.” Heroes and Heroines, There are few who endure bodily troubles without complaint. Did you ever meet among the heroes or heroines of your acquaintance—if any such there have been—one with a yellowish cast of countenance and that jaundiced aspect generally, which the most unpractised eye recognizes as the product of a disordered liver, who did not complain, and peevishly too, of the soreness of the recalcitrant or, an, of pains beneath the right shou der blade,_of dyspeptic symptoms, constipation and headache?.

The Late Examination. \ There are afloat some ugly rumors in connection with the late teachers’ examination held in this city by the, County Board of Education. It is not only charged that one of the members of the Board had, for some time previous to the examination, been ‘‘coaching”’ persons who intended to write, which is in itself good cause for his removal from the Board according to the judgment of the State Superintendent of Public Instruction, but—that-in—the process of “coaching” certain text) books were used from which many of the questions submitted to. the applicants at the examination were taken almost if not quite ‘‘verbatim et. literatim.”” As Mr. Stone of Grass Valley is the only member of the Board who is said to have specially trained ‘persons for the examination, he should,in case these rumors are not well based, make a statement tothat eect. There is no desire on the part of the Transcript to dohim any injustice. On the contrary, this paper hopes the circumstances were really such that he will be able tounequivovally and emphatically deny the rumors and thus put on them a quietus.

The El Dorado claim, owned by Nevada City men, is making a good showing considering the small amount of work done on it. The vein is in slate and the walls six feet apart. There is a six-inch streak of ochre accompanying the ledge. Taking the ore on and near the surface just as it comes, it would mill about $6 a ton ; but by selecting the best a little lower déwn a result of $40 or $50 a ton could doubtless be realized. The croppings can be traced a distance of 1,500 feet, and it is claimed that by a series of tunnels backs of 200 feet can be obtained. This claim has such excellent natural working advantages that $4 a ton ore ought to pay if found in the quantities that apparently exist. The El Dorado lies a short. distance below the Delhi-mine, about the richness of which there can be no mistake. The Golden Rule claim up that way, prospected a little in 1871, might, be worth taking another trial at. It lies at the head of little Grass Valley, two miles southeast from the Delhi and-El orado. The old owners were J. C. Broderick, R. McMurray, Jas. Donnelly, Jerry Woods, Wm, and John Waldron, F., P. and M. Burns, Wm. Nichols, Thos. Gershon, David Tarbox, John Cary, Jas. Morgan, J. B. Murphy, A. P. Woodsides, Jas. Cragin, Jas. Lowe, A. B. Nixon, and, perhaps, two or three others. A shaft was put down 100 feet, the vein being five or six feet thick. Although some fair samples were obtained from the croppings there was no improvement with depth being attained, which was T quite contrary to expectations. Of course there was not ‘enough work done to prove that a paying mine could not be made of it. The belt in which the El Dorado, Delhi and neighboring claims exist. is fi outlined by a prospector who says he} 'U knows that part of the county like a tends north of the Middle Yuba (which stream it crosses near Jones’s Bar trail) at least as far as Pike City.

To the Dear People of Nevada City and surrounding country: ‘I adopted for my motto sixty-two years ago the ever blessed Scriptural command, “Thou shalt not lie,” and if at times my rigid adherence to this world-re-. vered divine injunction may seem to dim the resplendent glories of my unsurpassable exhibition, I know that eventually the public will discriminate between the solid, substantial, great, grand and costly character of my colossal show, and the loud-mouthed, brazen vaporings of a tribe of mountebanks who perambulate the country with a lot of cast-off, worn-out clap-trap rubbish, which they seek to palm upon the public. as worthy of its patronage.

The Marysville Appeal of Thursday says: Judge Caldwell; of Nevada City, was here yesterday and informally discussed with the Board of Supervisors & proposition in behalf of the Chinese lessees of the Omega mine, lately enjoined. The Chinamen desire to make @ clean-up, and claim that they can do it by ground sluicing without carrying any tailings into the river. One of the Chinamen appeared and spoke of the way in which it could be done, offering to pay the expenses of a man to examine into the matter, and if he reported they could do as they claimed, the expenses of paying men towatch them at the work would be also assumed by them. No-action was taken, but a man will probably be sent up there, under direction of District Attorney Forbes. Chance For a Libel Suit, A fellow signing himself EF. 8.
