« 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 .

there might possibly be—a sufficient

The farmers and miners should join

do not hesitate to say that for all future depositsl from the mines in the

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

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

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

Bold Attempt at Robbery.
Republican: On Saturday. evening
last, Geo. W. Giffen, while walking
oti the railroad track just this side of
the round hease, had,quite an, interesting interview with « couple of
would be highwaymen. 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. The new comer paits-.
ed, hesitated, and ingloriously, fled.
———____—__ > e.@—-Rocky Bar Mine.
. 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.

When the Transcript charges C.

a nian _who was eithcr a nodel of or

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
