NEWADA CITY, cAL. pe 9 a. LP eo amen eaten me eee tee The Daily Branscript Tharsday, December 21, 1871 The Sterm Elsewhere. ‘The storm, which commenced on Sunday evening, has extended over all parts of the State, and perhaps over the whole coast. Frem the accounts in the San Francisco and Sacramento papers, the gale of Monday, which reached here during the night, was the heaviest that has been known at the Bay or in the valleys for several years. The ‘Bay was so rough Monday « m that the ferry boats plying between the city and Oakland and Vallejo, did not venture to cross. Comparatively little damage was dene to the shipping in the harbor—the vessels, perhaps, in most cases having been placed in positions ef safety by the timely warning ef the Signal’ Bureau. The bark Scotlaad dragged her anchor and collided with the British war _ steamer Zealous, and had hér mizzen mast and main rigging carried away. ome other vessels were also slightly damaged. The full force of the gale reached Sacramento in the afternoon, and the wind blew at a terrific rate for several hours. Several houses were unroofed, fences blown down, and many shade trees uprooted. The noise of the wind was so great as to preclude the transaction of business in the Senate Chamber, and that bedy was compelled to adjourn an hour earlier than usual. The railread track in Yolo county was carried away, or so badly damaged that the trains were unable to pass over iton Monday, and the passengers and mails were brought up te Sacramento by steamer. The telegraph wires are down in every direc‘tion, so that we have no information as to the effect of the storm in the extreme northern and southern sections of the State. atin aa Act te Prevent Double Taxation. The following bill to prevent double taxation on promissory notes and real estate secured by mortgage ‘was introduced in the Assembly, by Assemblyman Barker, of this cc unty. Bec. 1. It shall be the duty of every County Assessor within the tate of California to assess all money loaned on real estate or otherwise, and on all promissory nutes secured by mortgage or other collaterals, and make a pe r return ef the same to to the oliector of the county in which ae assessments are returned. Sec. 2. Itshall be the duty of such Assessor to assess all real and per-. sonal property upon which such moneys have been loaned and secured by mo e or otherwise at the same time and in the same manner as othroperty assessments are made, pelt return the same to the County Collector in the usual manner of returning such assessments. Seo. 3. The Tax a shall give the person or paying need tax his receipt i fall therefor, which réceipt shall be lawful evidence of the ake eee thereof, which amount ro rata cng hap mo’ mortgagee, an the amount due on the m shall . ; be deducted therefrom applied as a partial payment thereof.

InrpanationaL Pazapeg m NEw Yorsr.—The parade of the Intérnationala in New York, on Sunday last, in memory of the Paris martyrs, is reported by telegraph to have been a suceess, ahd the report is substantially confirmed by the details furnished of the demonstration. The city authorities had attempted to snppress the parade, which caused a postponement for a week, and the opposition probably had the effect to swell the numbers that took part in the procession. As the demonstration was in honor of the: artisans, mechanics and workingmen of Paris, who wéreso unmercifully sleughtered . i by order of the Thiers Government, it was quite appropriate the services eens be held on the Sabbath; and. we are pleased to note that many of the workingmen’s societies of New York joined: inthe procession.

This being so, we claim the right to rejoice at the suceess of Sargent, her truest, noblest son. So, again E say, bless God and ‘the Republican party. OUR CITY Is somewhat quiet, owing in part to the terrible mud, and from the fact that this is the middle of the month, at which time money always grows scarce. ‘The “‘boys’’ somehow manage by hard and {faithful labor to spend all their loose change in about & week after pay day. Give our Virginia Christians but half a chance and they make things lively. € street. is the grand centre of attraction, and here the bulls and bears, the hardy miner and gay gambolier, the busy merchant and the dilapidated bummer congregate, pass and repass in bewildering variety and endless confusion. From over the heads of the crowds in saloons comes the auctioneer-like voice of the. ‘‘keno’”’ banker, ‘‘number 27,’’ ‘‘number 82,”’ and so on, followed. by the wild exhilerating cry of ‘keno!’ while the unlucky ones repeat in chorus the wierd legend of the game, the celebrated words of Cambronne at Waterloo. MINING. MATTERS. All of the companies located along the line of the Comstock are busily engaged in prospecting or extracting oreindmmense quantity. The Crown Point-and Belcher are now the leading mines of the lode, the Crown’ Point mine standing out in bold relief as_the richest and largest silver mine in thé world. ~Phis company now employs four hundred men, the main shaft hus been penetrated to the depth of 1,300 feet, and isstill going down at a rapid rate. At this great depth the ledge is nearly 90 feet wide, and the rock the entire width assays over one hundred dollars per ton. No waste is found, but the entire mags isa very mint of gold and silver. The Gould & Curry have gone down 1,500 fect, and are now running a drift to the eastwdrd. No ledge has as yet been developed, but as we used to say in olden times, they have ‘‘bully. indications." The Sutro tunnel is progressing favorably under the energétic “cuntrol of the great Adolph himself. This tunnel is to be‘ ran from a poiht near Dayton, and ata distance of five miles from its mouth it will pierce the Comstock vein, from and after which moment allthe mines pay to Sutro by an act of Congresd, two dollars per ton royalty. More than this; Sutro is now asking, and feels confident of getting a subsidy, or loan; or’ dottation of three million dollars from Congress at its present session. Of the ultimate benefit of this project contend that the tunnel is our only salvation as a mining commusity, while the mine owners are equally firm that it is wrong ‘for the Government to foster a monopoly which wuld rob ,private enterprises and benefit none save the owners of Sutre stock. Being an outsider, to these arguments I can only say, quin sabe. VIRGINIA AND TRUCKEE RAILZUAD, The erookedest railroad on the faotstool, and yet the busiest. “The traffic of the road is immense.

This law looks to the protection of native and imported . _ game from wholesale destruction by heartless pot: hunters.

The Acclimatizing Society has been highly successful in importing spawn for fish to . culture im this State, both from Lake Tahoe and the Eastern States. The spawn of the New York ‘speckled trout, sent to the Society last Winter, by Seth Green, the Fish Commissioner of that State, were hatched with remarkable sticcess—falty 90 per cent. of the 10,000 eggs coming to maturity. They are now from one to five inches it length, and ‘fut oxceed their growth in their . native water, and thereby proving the. advantages of transportation. About 200,000 Lake Tahoe éggs, taken from fle Lake Tahoesilver trout, were hatehed at the company’s fishery, in Hays’ Valley last Spring, ; with :eqnel auocess. These have reached a good size, and, together with the’ Eastern . . trout, will producé: spawn next year. ‘Phe society will} this Winter, introduce the black bass, and several varieties of game birds into the Btate.
