She Duily Transetipt, HEVADA CITY, CALIFORNIA, The Debris Question. The Daily Stock Report, which has for some time now. ‘occupied «a . foremost position as an able advocate ' Thursday, August’ Gist, 1879. « Republican Victory Assurcd. There rio longer exists a shadow of reasonably founded doubt as to the sticdess of the Republican State ticket in Nevada county. For a time -at the very beginning of the campaign the prospects were rather murky, an opinion obtaining ™ that -gome of theinke-warm friends--of . that organization wouid suffer themsalves to’ be led astray, and. that there might possibly be—a sufficient ofection to jeopardize the result SA Sane ow Hower es ——ise Iaeeee. pen gg eas ao ae ees ee = —— Skists TOW, Seale inses the the Court was footishenough to fact that not only are all of the old . + 11. such acourse we do not believe standbys in the ranks of the party . 2 af progress, but that they are being daily reinforced by voter's who have for two or three -years until now been-regarded as members’ of opposing factions. within the camps of the H. B,’s and Kearneyites in hopes of flying from imagined evils; but finding their aew harbors to be hampered with demagogy the like of which they had never witnessed in the Repubitcan party, now return more truly convinced than ever that mushroom parties are conceived and fostered by selfish office seekers, whereas that class were but the mud on the wheels These hatter have been . of the rights of hydraulic miners, says of the case against the miners on Bear River, which -isnow before the Supreme Court: There is, im our mind, noxdoubt that the Keyser in. junction was used in a desperate ef: fort te squeeze a large sum, between is 25,000 and $30,000, as we are Informed, out of the miners and ditch owners on Bear River, for the wath. holding of the injunction for only The squeeze was too . three months. . large; the lawyers were too greedy. . The squeezed would—not stand it, and the Keyes’ lawyers’ were told . to do their worst. We do-not believe that our Supreme Court will issue its ______‘carefnl review of the situation: as 387 mandate-to-close_all our mines, and . specified will consume about 10 days. }, i there is power enough.in the State The whole } ; * L hd aes . i matter should be taken -6ué of the . to enforce the decree. . Courts, except in surts for damages, and turned over to the’ scientists.: The farmers and miners should join . together to seek a solution of the trouble, not through lawyers, who who will take a smail fee for the ulterior putpose of getting more in -the end-in some way or other. We do not hesitate to say that for all future depositsl from the mines in the river eanyons of the mountans. a remedy can be found which wilt prevent the material, or at least 95 per cent of it or more, from reaching the , of the chariot they rode in betore, sis to the feelmg of voters toward the Republican county tiekét;~it is decidedly Looking clown over the list of nominees put before them by the Convention, they tind no carpet-baygerg; no fossilliferous and sycophantic oiice seekers; no moss-backed politiciats; tio men with business records that stink to heaven; no capitalistic mouopolists; no. Chinese lovers; no vain aristoerats;no worthless fellows who will ~ be compelled to obtain an oflice or else inflict themselves upon the community as ohjects of charity. They ‘are from first to last worthy repreencouraging, sentatives of the classes that give eur county a wide-spread reputation for business prosperity and social excellence. It is such a thicket us any honest man can vote for with a clear conscience. Since the settlement of the country no party has presented as candidatcs a set of men thet one need be prouder of giving an open and hearty support to. We believe that most, and perhaps all, of them will be elected. Democrats believe it. A. large portion of the fusionists admit to the possession of “a fear to that effect. Let us pray that our hopes may be realized ; that tne fears of our opponents may prove to not have been unfounded, The Charges Against Mr. Thompson. , It is with regret that we hear of a . ‘fierce onslaught being made upon Mr. J. S. Thompson, candidate-for Supervisor, by some of the residents of Little York township. The charges that he is being assailed with are -of the most trivial character, and are unworthy the consideration of intelligent voters. ‘They were started to auswer the purpose that all campaign ligs of akindred character are trumped up for. Their authors do not «ome out and proclaim them in an xbove-board manner, but they are ¥ whispered about in the dark. We are not fully acquainted with their nature, but at the same time have sufficient confidence in Mr, Thomp" son as. a citizen and a public officer ‘to agree to disprove every one of them in the Transcript, if some one ‘of his condemners will send us a copy wf then.: We -wilt-even-go-farther than that, and establish the fact that they are malignant inventions, aaade out of whole cloth. The people of Truckee and Boca say that the Gs one of the best Supervisors they have ever existed under. It is toYee sincerely hoped that the citizens ‘of Little York township wili set seal of condemnation on dirty political tricks by re-electing him this dall. Recorder's @ftice Business. The following documents were fil‘ein ‘the County Recorder’s office for the week cuding yesterday: 4 satisfactions of mortgages; 4 marriage certificates; 23 mining notices; 2 attachments; 3 mortgages; ,1 satis*““¥action of lien; 19 deeds; 1 lease; 1 power ofattorney; . patent; fieate of sale. ; e 1 oerti-} plains, bnt it cannot be done by law-" The past cannot bé~ helped. The miners claim openly, and we yers. think they are right—and they ave a-ctear right and a vested one to carry_ontheir operations—that these rights have been in all ways, for thirty years past, recognized by the United States Government, as well! as by our State Government and our courts and by our community; they claim that working under these _rec-. ognized rights for 30 years their mining property has acquired great value, which cannot be destroyed by : lawyers ; that they .have expended millions of treasure aud years: of toil upon*their property; which cannot be totally destroyed bya few lawyers, and that it is too late for the farmers to undertake to despoil them. of their ‘property through the lawyers.— = Yet, while occupying, this position openly and firmly, ana-intending to maintain it at allhazards, they are. now, and have always been, willing to meet the farmers half way, for the purpose of devising ways and means to do as little injury as possible. _No better evidence of this disposition on the part of the miners can. be than the recent offer of the Hydranlic Miners’ Association to. the city of Marysville, to give $30,000 to aid in protecting the city from damage until after our next Legislature has met. No better evidence could be had of thespirit animating the other side than the refusal of that offer. The refusal of the Common Council of that city toeven receive a petition from alarge number of their citizens against the course pursued, and the contract between the-city and the lawyers, wherein’ the latter agreed, for a magnificent fee of $500; to un: dertake anc carry on the suit. We must think there was too much pas} sion exhibited in the affair by the city authorities and their lawyers, and believe that the people of Marysville will regret the non-acceptance of the munificeht antl voluntary. offer of the miners. injunction or no injunction, Marysville must now, at her own, expense, construct all preventitives against overtiow, and this expense will be a yearly oneso long as the mountains move towards the sea. It would have been much better to have joined hands, accepted the aid freely tendered, and have gone together to our Legislature and Congress for such aid as the joint interests night deem important. We still that the ‘‘sober second thought” will come to the council and people of that city, and they will discard litigation as useless and join with the miners to protect. ‘. themselves for the future. _ Sailer Flat Clean-up. . The owners of the Sailor Flat mine have just made a partial clean-up aftera month’srun., The result is very satisfactory. It is oneof the best managed and most profitable hydraulic claims in the county. >.

Republican: On Saturday. evening last, Geo. W.

It was short-_ ly after dark, and Mr. Giffen was.on his way to Truckee when aman acc sted him and asked the .time of night. Mr. Giffen replied it was so dark he could not tell by looking at his watch. The stranger then walked rapidly toward Mr. Giffen as but met with an unexpected reception in the shape of a well directed blow, which floored him. Just then the companion of the fallen man emerged from behind a building adjace 1#,.and made for the scene. Mr. Giffen, who-was unara el, thought they were piling it~en_a little too eluparock.

Union: A céntract for sinking 50 feet of the incline in. the Chavanne shaft has been completed, and another contract has been let to sink to the level of the drain tunnel which is being -rifn_ fromthe New-York Hill ground. It is estimated that it willtake about two months to make the through connection from the New York Hill to both the Chavanne and new shafts on the Rocky Bar ground, which will not oaly open up a considerable body of quartz, but will give a thorough pendicular. The ledge inthe stopes at the Chavanne shaft is of good size, and produces an excellent quality of rock. The same.may be said of the ledge in the new shaft, from which the largest part of tae rock from the mine is taken. he quartz yields qu teevenly, alwaysleaving ag fair margin of profit to the company. Can it be Possible? When the Transcript charges C. Senator from Nevada county, with being an unreconstructed. Rebel, and a nian _who was eithcr a nodel of or patterned after: Petroleum V. Nasby, are there none of his fellows on the ticket who will speak up in his defense, or dare not the hybrid partyorgan take up his side of the case? It looks very much as if even the men ognized the foolish mistake they made on that Satu rday afternoon, 4a” Ask: your Grocer for the Red Bluff New Process Flour. Try it. lm ——-~w oom How it is Done.
