The réply was, “Damn your dams.” Hydraulic mining was stopped, and if this storm keeps up its lick a few days longer it will be demonstrated who was right.

Turner returned Thursday evening from San Francisco. . THE Christmas rush at the post The Great Rain storm a Blessing (in a Horn) to Miners—Why It Will Not Revive Drooping San Francisco. : It is decidedly amusing to: read the comments of such great metropolitan journals as the San Francisco Chronicle on the present storm and its probable effects. They are remarking that such a rainfall is of incalculable benefit to the miners as well as to the farmers. They claim to be not only leaders of public opinion, but to educate the public in all matters of general interest and to educate them aright. There are several thousand people in this neighborhood who will be much obliged if they will please explain what they mean in saying that the storm is good for the mining industry. Have those papers been so busily engaged in assisting to destroy one of the most important industries of the State, that they forget things have come to a pass where the miners pray for dry weather itistead of wet? Will they please tell us what use we have for such storms when Judge Sawyer tells us no hydraulic mining can be carried on—a decision that the Chronicle and other papers applaud as being the very essence of justice? The cold and unpleasant truth is that a heavy fall of rain: or snow serves simply to retard and render more expensive working in uartz, which is about the only kind of mining now in progress. It is the hight of humbuggery to tell the people of San Francisco, as those papers do, that the rain now drenching us will make business better with them. There can be no improvement so long as the stream of gold bullion from the hydraulic mines, amounting from $11,090,000 to $16,000,000, is kept back by thedam the courts have built in its path. In times past, before the anti-debris crusaders were on top, such a storm as we are protesting against was worth forty or more thousand dollars a day to the miners of this county, and whatenriched them enriched the State and nation just as much. A few hundred . acres of valley land was being covered by slickens however, (a treatment that we maintain is beneficial to such land as it is), and the miners had togo. If the North Bloomfield were permitted to run by the hy-, draulic process for a period of thirty days, it would take out enough gold to pay for all damage done in the State by mining debris since 1849. Most of those newspaper men at the, Bay have not the faintest conception of the magnitude or profitableness of the industry assailed in that contest, nor can they learn to appreciate it without visiting the mining portion of the State. If they would come up here into the foothills and mountains and see for themselves and with their own eyes the situation as it is, they would, we warrant, experience a decided change of sentiment. At Any rate, they would not go back to their sanctums and write about the good that this rainstorm is doing the miners. The Injured Miner. Donald McEwen, the man who on Thursday last was run over by a car in the Derbec mine and received such injuries to one of his feet that the doctor found am putation necessary, is well known through this part of the county. He worked awhile at Voss’ mill, but has recently for some time made his headquarters around North Bloomfield. He is a widower, and his eight year old son has been boarding with Mrs. Oates at this city. The very day that McEwen was hurt the little fellow took the stage for Derbec to visit with his father during the holiday vacation. Died of His Hurts. .

The Adventists Preparing to Leave Next Month for Kingdom Come. The Adventists have been notified that the world will end two weeks from next Sunday, or on January 4, 1885, and some of the Nevada City believers are reportported to be getting their ascension robes ready. so as to step off instyle. The “Last Message to the House of Israel, or the Advent Church,” has been issued. The message begins with a reference to previous incorrect prophecies as to the date of the J udgment, and explains the causes of the errors. The corrected calculation is then given, based upon -the prophecy of Haggai (chapter ii, verses 21 and 22), that in 2,300 years from the foundation of the Temple,God will shake the heavens and the earth, and overthrow the kingdoms. ‘The taking of the sacrifice from the altar’»—J uly 5, 71— is given as the Starting point, three and a half years, “the measure of the worshippers, being first added, which ‘gives the date J anuary 5, 75. The 490 years which were “cut off’ from the Jews are then subtracted from the 2,300 years, leaying 1,810. This remainder is then added to the date already obtained, January 5, 75, giving as a result January 5, 1885, or, according to the Advent system of calculation,. January 4, 1885, one day sooner, which date is therefore declared the Day of J udgment. Numerous other prophecies are given, with calculations based thereon, all tending to substantiate the first, and the people of the “House of Israel’’ are exhorted to prepare themselves, that they be not found among the lost. ey Died at Bartlett Springs. Jacob Stumpf, of Sierra Lodge, 1.0.0. F., at Downieville, died at Bartlett Springs last Tuesday of consumption. _ His wife arrived here yesterday noon with the remains which were taken charge of by Oustomah Lodge and forwarded in the. afternoon to Downieville by private conveyance. Marvelously Rich Ore. A considerable quantity of the richest free gold ore ever found in that locality has recently been coming out of the Alaska mine at Pike City. Col. E. P. Bates and J. H.

Good Strike at the Champion. —— On Thursday last what is considered a rich strike was made in the Champion mine just below this city. A winze was being sunk in the tunnel about three hundred feet from the mouth, when a ledge over two feet thick and very rich in sulphurets and galena was found. We know of no company more deserving of success than the Champion. They have shown a pertinacity in hunting for the valuable mineral deposits known to be in their claim that is bound to bring its reward sooner or later. When they once they will we believe have a property second in permanent value to none in this district, 2. A Rail ocader’s Narrow Escape.

With the confidence of his many escapes he endeavored to pass before a moving train and slipped on the track in front of the Truckee Hotel. Fortunately, and his long service gave him a knowledge of what to do, he raised his legs which lay across the track, and the pilot hitting him swung him around on the platform and saved his life.
