George Lord of Grass Valley is to~ day announced as ‘a Candidate for the . « Republican nomination of Sheriff. Mr. Lord has lived long ia the county, and has the good opinion of all who know him. For years he was the machinist at the Idako mine. Later he was Superintendent of the Yuba mine, at Washington. At present he is engaged in the livery business at Grass Valley. In the matter of politics his course has been such as to leave no doubt about the quality of his Republicanism. The Democrats admit that he is about as hard a man to make a fight against as any they know. Handsome is as Handsome Does. The Sacramento Bee appeared Monday evening in a new dress, and isnow truly a ‘“‘thing of beauty” from a typographical point of view. If the Bee had only thrown off its bad anti-slickens ways when it put on the handsome garb it now wears, it would be ‘‘just too sweet;” but the skull and cross-bones of its antagonism tothe great industry of gold getting (as practiced by the miners) gleam out like-a hideous of its artistic attire.

Downing has nial from New York a magnificent stock of cloths which he is prepared to make up in gents’ suits, in the lateat styles A ‘Citizen’s Wesscas “Why Buslness Men Make the Best Ones. Eprror Transcriet:—If a business man has a chimney to build he employs a brickmason. If he has a horse to shoe he sends him to a blacksmith. If his teakettle leaks it is sent tothe tinker, and if the road leading to or through his premises gets out of repair he employs a man that understands that kind of work and has his roads put in firstclass order. When he is from any cause unable to attend to his general business, involving the expenditure of hundreds of thousands of dollars, he does not seek a brickmason. just because a chimney may tumble down and need rebuilding, nor does he employ a roadbuilder so that if the road#'get out of orderhe can ‘repair them, but an agent is chosen for his general business capacity and well known honesty; and when an accounting is had, nine: times out of ten it is found that the agent has done for the proprietor as well as the proprietor could have done for himself. But if perchance the roadmaker is chosen the chances are that in trying to master the intricacies of a business far above his capacity. he will neglect the rodds and when an accounting is taken it will be found that all the bnsiness, including the roads, is sadly out of repair. Lam led to the foregoing moralizing. by reading the local newspapers. Year after year, in correspondence and editorial, appeara the stereotyped phrase, ‘‘Simpkins if elected will make a bully Supervisor; he is a roadbuilder by profession,” er, ᠠ᠀刀漀最最猀 never did anything in his life but-‘make roads; he is just the man for Supervisor,” or by way of variety, ‘‘Stubbs is uur man for Supervisor; hecan see a hole in the road a mile off,” and so on without end, Then year after year we see, “Simpkins, the champion roadist, has been elected Supervisor of the first district,” or, ‘‘We will have better roads in the Second District; Boggs has been elected Supervisor,” or, ‘‘A blind man can walk from Nevada to Washington on show shoes without being eaten up by mosquitoes, now that Stubbs has been elected Supervisor for the Fourth District.” Finally, when we get a full board of roadbuilders we are not happy. About all we can see ‘for our years’ exertions in this direction isa board of roadbuilders, a large county debt, dilapidated bridges and innumerable holes in the roads. Past or present experience teaches us, or should teach us, that it is “IN UNLON ts STRENGTA. The Republicans of Nevada Township Seamed for the Campaign. Although but a little prominence had been given to the fact that there would be a meeting held Monday evening to consider the best plan for the Republicans of this township to pursue in organizing for cthe Fall campaign, full fifty voters had assembled in the City Hall by eight o’clock when J.M. Walling called the meeting to order. For Semporary officers, L. Nihell was elected Chairman, Jas. H. Byrne and J. G. Hartwell being chosen as Secretaries, On motion it was declared to’ be the sense of the meeting that one or more Blaine and Logan’ Clubs be organized in Nevada City. The names of those who had already signed their names to rolls that had been circulated were read, and the Secretary announced that they aggregated 116. ‘The roll was then reopened, and between that time and the close of the meeting between 40 and 50 more names were put down. J. C. Dean moved that a committee of five be appointed to draft a constitution and by-laws for a permanent organization and report at the next meeting, and the motion prevailing the following gentlemen were named: J. M. Walling, J. &. Hartwell, J. C. Dean, J. A. Rapp and James H. Byrne. The above named were ‘also constituted a temporary executive committee to engage a hall, call the next meeting, and make such other arrangements for the same as they consider essential. On motion, the four gentlemen whose names fo!low were selected by the meeting to canvass among the voters of the township and report to the next meeting the names of those who are willing to enlist in uniformed Blaine and Logan companies: W.G. Richards, Geo, A. Gray, P. F. Simonds, J, G. Hartwell. E. M. Preston sbeing called for made a brief and excellent address on the issues of the campaign and the duties of the Republican hosts. Several others present also spoke to a similar effect. The meeting adjourned tothe call of the Executive Gom mittee, giving three ringing cheers for Blaine and Logan as it did so. Sc egecai When a Relocation is a Trespass. Miners making relocations of mining ground should be careful to find out that thesaid ground is legally . about time to elect our best business men to manage county affairs, and trust them to employ the best specialists to do special work for the county. Judge T. H. Rolfe made an excellent Supervisor, although he had been on the frontier so long that he believed a buffalo trail the best road in the world. Charles Marsh was a superior Supervisor. His strong suit was ditch buifding, and what he didn’t know abot roads would fill avery large book. Nevada county never had a better Supervisor than Frank Pauson, a dry goods and clothing dealer, whose home was in Truckee where roads were few and far between. He never. worked on a road in his life, but the roads in his district were kept in better condition than they are now, and the records will show that the annual cost to the county was not half. so much as it has been of late years. If you want our county affairs managed in an economical and business like manner, elect business men to do it, and if any candidate comes out hereafter just because he is a road digger or ‘‘understands roads,” shoot him on the spot. ». Nevada City, August 11th. How It Was. EpiTor Tompkins did not, as Felix Gillet asuse of the City Hall last week. merely suggested that we might, if we saw fit, ‘‘remember” the aged janitor by giving him a little money for clearing up whatever muss we made, and most of us were willing todoit. I am also informed that the Marshal did not charge the Firemen for the Hall when they held their election there. Mr. Gillet is altugether too quick to condemn our worthy Marshal. Oxp Hickory.

Wilas TRANSCRIPT — Marshal serts, charge the Democrats for the “He abandoned and open to relocation by failare to doassessment work, etc., before they take the trouble to claim it, The Supreme Court of Colorado has just re-affirmed its former decision that actual possession is prima facie evidence of title, and that entering upon premises in thé actual possession of another for the purpose of performing the acts necessary to constitute location and possession, amountstoa trespass, and cannot form the basis for the acquisition of title. Whether the location of party in possession be validor not, their possession is sufficient to defeat a recovery by the party entering to make a new location. In this decision the principle of ‘possession being nine points of the law” is maintained,and miners should bear this in mind when desiring to make relocations. The same court also decides that mine owner3 are not responsible for Recorders’ mistakes. A prior location of a mining claim is not invalidated by mistake of a Recorder in recording such location by a name somewhat different from that stated in the certificate of location. A Display of Strength. It was at a political meeting and one politician said to another : “Well, whatdo you think now ? Isn’t this a great display of strength?” “It certainly is,” was the faint reply, ‘tone of the greatest displays of stcength I ever experienced,” and then with a superhuman effort he shouted : r= ‘For Great Scott’s sake, will’ somebody open one of the windows?” i A Self-Sacrificing Patriot. “What are you drinking with this crowd for?” aske1 a Democrat of a thirsty Republican. ‘‘This's a drink over Cleveland’s nomination.” “Ob, well, I’m a patriot ; drink over anything.” —_—_-_o—<—> -—__——_— Ir 1s to be hoped that the dust the French are kicking upin China will not make the inhabitants of the’ Flowery Kingéom more anxious to go abroad.

A correspondent asks the law de: partment of the Chicago Mining Review ‘‘why mining law is so complicated that not onlyminers, but the lawyers and the courts, are puzzled in respect to miners’ rights ?” The answer is, that legislation in general is liable to uncertainty, as all the work of fallible man is apt to be more or less imperfect. And particularly is. this the case with regard to mining law, for two chief reasons : Ist, Because Congressmen have tinkered with mining law when, in most instances, they were wholly ignoraut both of the nature of mines, and of the requirements of miners for the protection and enforcement of their righte under the liberal enactments, intended by Congress to atimulate the development of the mining regions of the country. And, 2od. Because of the diversity of the laws and regulations controlling this great industry. The Federal law, the State law, and the District regulations. all combine to determine the miners’ rights, and originating from three totally differing sources— Congress, the State Legislature, and the miners’ meetings—there must, of necessity, result some degree of conflict and eomplication in such manyheaded _ legislation. But the miners have themelves to blame in most instancss for the controversies in which they become involved. The practice of ‘‘jumping” or ‘‘relocating” mines is fruitful of numberless disputes, and of the most expensive and vexatious law suits which not only exhaust the purses and the patience of the miners invelved, but also occasion incalculable injury to mining generally. In no other pursuit of life, in no other department of human industry, is there such incessant effort to take advant age of a neighbor’s blunder or shortcoming to deprive him of his property, or of the fruits of his toil, Even where there is legitimate ground for dispute, miners rarely ever resort to arbitration, or submit their matters of controversy to the decision of disinterested neighbors. Such arbitration would in most cases be a far more expeditious, a greatly cheaper and more satisfactory submission than to the court, the latter recourse involving a loss of time, an amount of vexation, and an expenditure of money and of temper which few calculate in advance of plunging into litigation. Our counsel is :— Keep within the law, but out of the courts, if possible. The Way They Do It. The Grass Valley Union of yesterday says : The Medes and Persians posted their laws on trees so high that they could not be read by the people, who yet were punished if they failed to obey them. The Supervisors of Nevada county are required by law to make publication of their proceedings, and the way they do it is to post them in manuscript in some public place, but not one person in a hundred reads them. By reason of this crude mode of making public the proceedings, laws and edicts of our local legislators the people are punished. Most of the Democratic journals are urging Mr. Cleveland to make his letter of acceptance short; but the Brooklyn Eagle wants him to take up enough space tosay whether the Democratis tariff plank means protection or free trade. Tue Germans are enthusiastic for Blaine and Logan throughout the country, anda prominent German of St. Louis has wagered $5,000 that they will be elected. &é .

The Plan Hit on by the Supervisors to Force the Printers Down to Starvation Rates. (Grass Valley Tidings, Aug. 11.) The proceedings of the board of su. pervivors for the last term are tacked up to some bulletin boards in the. county, Grass Valley being honored with at least one copy. The proceedings are. writter out on legal cap paper and make 50 pages. This may be legal publication, buf it is fanny to see people try to read the manuscript. That which is put (0 a bulletin board is public property 9 far as reading 1s concerned, and n, 0st times the supervisor proceeding.® have had small boys for an audience, No one has a right to prevent the boys from monopolizing the board. The boys try to get through with the reading no matter how many interested grown men may bea standing back to take a look at public records, in this day of improvement, the boys get through, a tall man steps up and stoops over to the handwriting and begins to read. He gets through about a page and then he curses and walksaway. He remarks to bystanders, ‘‘who the h—1 can make out anything from that ?”— Another citizen who wades into the reading until he thinks he is about to get some meat, is sure to be interrupted by some one stepping up and saying, ‘‘hullo, what have you got here,” and the new comer pitchesin and tries to double it on the reading. Then two disgusted men quis the “manuscript and want to know ‘“‘what sort of way that is of doing business ?’ This plan of the supervisors is not a popular one. They ought to publish their proceedings in such a way that a tax-payer can sit down and read and understand those proceedings, This manuscript posting avoids the result intended to be reached when the law says publication shall be made. It looks as if blind publication suits supervisorial ideas and aims. The people want plain print, and if they dv not getit they are justified in suspesting that Denmark is somewhat rotten. . : The mystery has been solved at last; Our teeth no longer need decay, All troubles of the mouth are past, By SOZODONT they’re swept away; And young and old may smile secure With lips and teeth so bright aud pure, Republican County Convention, A T A MEETING OF THE REPUBLI.

George Lord of Grass Valley is to~ day announced as ‘a Candidate for the . « Republican nomination of Sheriff. Mr. Lord has lived long ia the county, and has the good opinion of all who know him. For years he was the machinist at the Idako mine. Later he was Superintendent of the Yuba mine, at Washington. At present he is engaged in the livery business at Grass Valley. In the matter of politics his course has been such as to leave no doubt about the quality of his Republicanism. The Democrats admit that he is about as hard a man to make a fight against as any they know. Handsome is as Handsome Does. The Sacramento Bee appeared Monday evening in a new dress, and isnow truly a ‘“‘thing of beauty” from a typographical point of view. If the Bee had only thrown off its bad anti-slickens ways when it put on the handsome garb it now wears, it would be ‘‘just too sweet;” but the skull and cross-bones of its antagonism tothe great industry of gold getting (as practiced by the miners) gleam out like-a hideous of its artistic attire.

If his teakettle leaks it is sent tothe tinker, and if the road leading to or through his premises gets out of repair he employs a man that understands that kind of work and has his roads put in firstclass order. When he is from any cause unable to attend to his general business, involving the expenditure of hundreds of thousands of dollars, he does not seek a brickmason. just because a chimney may tumble down and need rebuilding, nor does he employ a roadbuilder so that if the road#'get out of orderhe can ‘repair them, but an agent is chosen for his general business capacity and well known honesty; and when an accounting is had, nine: times out of ten it is found that the agent has done for the proprietor as well as the proprietor could have done for himself. But if perchance the roadmaker is chosen the chances are that in trying to master the intricacies of a business far above his capacity. he will neglect the rodds and when an accounting is taken it will be found that all the bnsiness, including the roads, is sadly out of repair.

About all we can see ‘for our years’ exertions in this direction isa board of roadbuilders, a large county debt, dilapidated bridges and innumerable holes in the roads.

Although but a little prominence had been given to the fact that there would be a meeting held Monday evening to consider the best plan for the Republicans of this township to pursue in organizing for cthe Fall campaign, full fifty voters had assembled in the City Hall by eight o’clock when J.M. Walling called the meeting to order. For Semporary officers, L. Nihell was elected Chairman, Jas. H. Byrne and J. G. Hartwell being chosen as Secretaries, On motion it was declared to’ be the sense of the meeting that one or more Blaine and Logan’ Clubs be organized in Nevada City. The names of those who had already signed their names to rolls that had been circulated were read, and the Secretary announced that they aggregated 116. ‘The roll was then reopened, and between that time and the close of the meeting between 40 and 50 more names were put down. J. C. Dean moved that a committee of five be appointed to draft a constitution and by-laws for a permanent organization and report at the next meeting, and the motion prevailing the following gentlemen were named: J. M. Walling, J. &. Hartwell, J. C. Dean, J. A. Rapp and James H. Byrne. The above named were ‘also constituted a temporary executive committee to engage a hall, call the next meeting, and make such other arrangements for the same as they consider essential. On motion, the four gentlemen whose names fo!low were selected by the meeting to canvass among the voters of the township and report to the next meeting the names of those who are willing to enlist in uniformed Blaine and Logan companies: W.G. Richards, Geo, A. Gray, P. F. Simonds, J, G. Hartwell. E. M. Preston sbeing called for made a brief and excellent address on the issues of the campaign and the duties of the Republican hosts. Several others present also spoke to a similar effect. The meeting adjourned tothe call of the Executive Gom mittee, giving three ringing cheers for Blaine and Logan as it did so. Sc egecai When a Relocation is a Trespass. Miners making relocations of mining ground should be careful to find out that thesaid ground is legally . about time to elect our best business men to manage county affairs, and trust them to employ the best specialists to do special work for the county. Judge T. H. Rolfe made an excellent Supervisor, although he had been on the frontier so long that he believed a buffalo trail the best road in the world. Charles Marsh was a superior Supervisor. His strong suit was ditch buifding, and what he didn’t know abot roads would fill avery large book. Nevada county never had a better Supervisor than Frank Pauson, a dry goods and clothing dealer, whose home was in Truckee where roads were few and far between. He never. worked on a road in his life, but the roads in his district were kept in better condition than they are now, and the records will show that the annual cost to the county was not half. so much as it has been of late years. If you want our county affairs managed in an economical and business like manner, elect business men to do it, and if any candidate comes out hereafter just because he is a road digger or ‘‘understands roads,” shoot him on the spot. ». Nevada City, August 11th. How It Was. EpiTor Tompkins did not, as Felix Gillet asuse of the City Hall last week. merely suggested that we might, if we saw fit, ‘‘remember” the aged janitor by giving him a little money for clearing up whatever muss we made, and most of us were willing todoit. I am also informed that the Marshal did not charge the Firemen for the Hall when they held their election there. Mr. Gillet is altugether too quick to condemn our worthy Marshal. Oxp Hickory.

Whether the location of party in possession be validor not, their possession is sufficient to defeat a recovery by the party entering to make a new location. In this decision the principle of ‘possession being nine points of the law” is maintained,and miners should bear this in mind when desiring to make relocations. The same court also decides that mine owner3 are not responsible for Recorders’ mistakes. A prior location of a mining claim is not invalidated by mistake of a Recorder in recording such location by a name somewhat different from that stated in the certificate of location. A Display of Strength. It was at a political meeting and one politician said to another : “Well, whatdo you think now ?

A correspondent asks the law de: partment of the Chicago Mining Review ‘‘why mining law is so complicated that not onlyminers, but the lawyers and the courts, are puzzled in respect to miners’ rights ?” The answer is, that legislation in general is liable to uncertainty, as all the work of fallible man is apt to be more or less imperfect. And particularly is. this the case with regard to mining law, for two chief reasons : Ist, Because Congressmen have tinkered with mining law when, in most instances, they were wholly ignoraut both of the nature of mines, and of the requirements of miners for the protection and enforcement of their righte under the liberal enactments, intended by Congress to atimulate the development of the mining regions of the country. And, 2od. Because of the diversity of the laws and regulations controlling this great industry. The Federal law, the State law, and the District regulations. all combine to determine the miners’ rights, and originating from three totally differing sources— Congress, the State Legislature, and the miners’ meetings—there must, of necessity, result some degree of conflict and eomplication in such manyheaded _ legislation. But the miners have themelves to blame in most instancss for the controversies in which they become involved. The practice of ‘‘jumping” or ‘‘relocating” mines is fruitful of numberless disputes, and of the most expensive and vexatious law suits which not only exhaust the purses and the patience of the miners invelved, but also occasion incalculable injury to mining generally. In no other pursuit of life, in no other department of human industry, is there such incessant effort to take advant age of a neighbor’s blunder or shortcoming to deprive him of his property, or of the fruits of his toil, Even where there is legitimate ground for dispute, miners rarely ever resort to arbitration, or submit their matters of controversy to the decision of disinterested neighbors. Such arbitration would in most cases be a far more expeditious, a greatly cheaper and more satisfactory submission than to the court, the latter recourse involving a loss of time, an amount of vexation, and an expenditure of money and of temper which few calculate in advance of plunging into litigation. Our counsel is :— Keep within the law, but out of the courts, if possible. The Way They Do It. The Grass Valley Union of yesterday says : The Medes and Persians posted their laws on trees so high that they could not be read by the people, who yet were punished if they failed to obey them. The Supervisors of Nevada county are required by law to make publication of their proceedings, and the way they do it is to post them in manuscript in some public place, but not one person in a hundred reads them. By reason of this crude mode of making public the proceedings, laws and edicts of our local legislators the people are punished. Most of the Democratic journals are urging Mr. Cleveland to make his letter of acceptance short; but the Brooklyn Eagle wants him to take up enough space tosay whether the Democratis tariff plank means protection or free trade. Tue Germans are enthusiastic for Blaine and Logan throughout the country, anda prominent German of St. Louis has wagered $5,000 that they will be elected. &é .

The Plan Hit on by the Supervisors to Force the Printers Down to Starvation Rates. (Grass Valley Tidings, Aug. 11.) The proceedings of the board of su. pervivors for the last term are tacked up to some bulletin boards in the. county, Grass Valley being honored with at least one copy. The proceedings are. writter out on legal cap paper and make 50 pages. This may be legal publication, buf it is fanny to see people try to read the manuscript. That which is put (0 a bulletin board is public property 9 far as reading 1s concerned, and n, 0st times the supervisor proceeding.® have had small boys for an audience, No one has a right to prevent the boys from monopolizing the board. The boys try to get through with the reading no matter how many interested grown men may bea standing back to take a look at public records, in this day of improvement, the boys get through, a tall man steps up and stoops over to the handwriting and begins to read. He gets through about a page and then he curses and walksaway. He remarks to bystanders, ‘‘who the h—1 can make out anything from that ?”— Another citizen who wades into the reading until he thinks he is about to get some meat, is sure to be interrupted by some one stepping up and saying, ‘‘hullo, what have you got here,” and the new comer pitchesin and tries to double it on the reading. Then two disgusted men quis the “manuscript and want to know ‘“‘what sort of way that is of doing business ?’ This plan of the supervisors is not a popular one. They ought to publish their proceedings in such a way that a tax-payer can sit down and read and understand those proceedings, This manuscript posting avoids the result intended to be reached when the law says publication shall be made. It looks as if blind publication suits supervisorial ideas and aims. The people want plain print, and if they dv not getit they are justified in suspesting that Denmark is somewhat rotten. . : The mystery has been solved at last; Our teeth no longer need decay, All troubles of the mouth are past, By SOZODONT they’re swept away; And young and old may smile secure With lips and teeth so bright aud pure, Republican County Convention, A T A MEETING OF THE REPUBLI.
