There were eighty of them originally, but: so far as is known the only survivors residing in this county are Wm. Scott, W. 8. Bradley and Geo. Gray, who lives at the county seat, and Hon. 8. L. Blackwell of Snow Point. It is believed that the veterans are entitled to draw $5 apiece for each day they served, also $& a day for the use of each horse, besides nay for saddles, blankets, etc., provid-ed they can get. their claims properly presented to’ Congress through the State Board of Examiners of Nevada. _ Wm. Scott and W. 8. Bradley, whose postoffice address. is Nevada City, want to immediately get t!.e names of all survivors, soas attend to having the claims pushed. That “Quicksilver Mine."’. ‘Professor’. Tilton, as he styles himself, and his son, George Washington Tilton, are having a rocky time trying to open up their ‘quicksilver mine’’ near Edwards Bridge. The Professor still bas faith in its value notwithstanding the Transcript, and says he wouldn’t sell out for a cool millicn. He had all his arrangements made to borrow from @ San Francigco widow the money to carry on its de. velopment, when this paper’s remarks on the property met her eye and she put up her purse. Just before the Fourth the new house on the claim was attached for the lumber in it. George W., the son, has gone to San Francisco, to endeavor to enlist capital in the enterprise. He rode to this city on the boot of the stage, and from here started afoot saying that it made him sick at the stomach to ride over the Narrow Gauge railroad. The Coming Sta te Fair. The. exhibit of Nevada county products made at the State Fair in Sacramento last year proved an unqualified success as an advertisement, and by reason of the’liberal premium it earned about paid for itself. The collection was made hurriedly, but brief notice having been given of the ins tention to take it down. This year the fair will begin on September 3d. Now is the time for our people to begin making preparations for it. Articles worth exhibiting should be carefully preserved. The Supervisors have been asked to make a reasonable appropriation of funds with which to help along the work. The committee which did such excellent work last Fall should by alt-means—be—reappointed and immediately get to work. Set the ball rolling. For Congress. Hon, J. v.

San Francisco, July 6th, 1888. The last firecracker has mournfully exploded, and the 112th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence is a thing of the past. The national birthday was celebrated with becoming: patriotism. For 24 hours there were no Democrits, no Republicans. Everybody was’ “an American citizen, glorying in the land of his birth or adoption, and realizing that although: foreign powers may prate and their subjects proclaim, there’s no place under the limitless dome of Heaven that can compare with ‘the land of the free and ‘the home of the brave’’—where the humblest artisan has the same voice in the administration of the government as the millionaire, and merit, not. birth, proclaims the man, As I sit at my desk and half sleepily pen these lines, I cannot but exult over the progress of the land af my nativity. But a little over a century ago, our forefathers gave to the world the grandest example of bravery known. to history, beside which the most glorious feats of valour-are but infantile. Realizing fully that it was a case of life or death, of liberty or slavery, of progression or passive inactivity, the signers of the documents on which this great, nation has been builded, eolemnly and fearlessly, with trust in God and a belief in their own countrymen, dipped their old quill pens into the ink and wrote their names. Years have come and gene since that eventful day. The country has been. drenched .in gore. Homes and hearts alike have been shattered. Poverty has taken the place of affluence upon more than one occasion, and the skeleton hand of misery has plucked at our attenuated throat frequently. Yethave we been strong in our trust and valorous of our deeds, and ‘many a day has passed since the sun of prosperity burst through the clouds of adversity, and bathed our people in the warmth ot its refulgent rays. Honored and respected by all the nations of the earth; opulent inthe illimitable vastness of our resources ; happy in our. domestic relations, and comfortable with the good things which Heaven has Bhowered upon us, weshould indeed, exult not vain-gloriously, but in a spirit of gratitude and thanksgiving. :In the morning there was a procession, which was more than usually attractive owing tothe preseace of the regiments comprising the Second Brigour National Gua: dsmen have scen fit to go offen.little junketing expeditions nor Waterman very properly ordered fesult of eminent satisfaction to the citizens and country visitors. In the afternoon the Frances Scott Key monument was unveiled in Golden Gate Park, and in the evening there was a display of fireworks at the Haight street baseball grouncs, and literary exercises at the Grand, Qpera House. The number of fires was, as usmnal, usually small. * * * * * * * * Apropos of the exercises in the afternoon, thousands of peopie witnessed the unveiling of the nionument. erected hy the trustees of James Lick’s estate to the memory of the author of the “Star Spangled Banner,’”? which was accomplished amid patriotic speeches by General R.

Story, who to-day ranks with the leading artists of the world, It was to have been originally placed onthe summit of Strawberry Hill, an eminenee towards the western end of the pavk, but Mr. Story desired its location at some more accessible point. Comsequently a site was selected nearly opposite the Haight street entrance, in the center of a materal amphitheatre, where it dtands a lasting tribute to one of the brightest of lawyers, bravést of soldiers, sweetest of poets and triiest of meu. Of the many who have come to California poor in pocket and sick at heart, and filled the one and cured the other, few are they who have rememtered the State of their adoption. Of the many who have amassed fortunes few have given any of their wealth to the community in which they made it all. Of those few none will ever be remembered longer than James Lick. In lifetime, looked upon by most people as a close-fisted, hard-hearted miser, the bad that he did has been interred with his bones, and the good is living after him, The old pioneer timne,as those who knew hiin will attest. He made a vast amount of money and keptit; and it was not until he had done with life, that thoue who had reviled him most realized . that he loved California as we do who =. were bora here. Inthe years to come, which now promise so much prosperity for the Golden State, the Lick Observatory, the free publi¢ baths uf this city, lhe Key Monument, the new City Hall statnary, for which he left $100,000, and numerous vther bequegts will always shine out as bright examples of whatone man did do for the pleasure of his fellow men. ‘Of the things I have enumerated, the observatory and the Key monu~ ment have been completed; plans for the new City Hull statuary are in the hands of the trustees, whoare giving idence aeeere croere “3 Cone : 3." ade, N.G.C.

Talking of baths the mania for bathing has again siezed upon everybody —young and old, bigand small. I don’t mean that the people of San Francisco are not in the habit of washing themselves. Agood portion certainly do that, although I’ll admit I’ve seen some urchins of whose faces corn might be planted with fair prospects of goodly returns. I reter to swimming, bathingand laving in the waters of the bay, eitherat the baths at Alameda under the open sky, or at North Beach, in this city, in the enclosed bathhouses. I strolled over to one of them not long ago and saw the most motley gathering of people I have seen for a longtime. There were about twenty in all, half old and half young. Some of the girls were plump and alluring; others were scrawney and repulsive. One young lady, well known in socjety circles, who lives‘on Golden Gate avenue, has the most ample of proportions, and it was with some considerable expectation that I awaited ‘her entrance into the water, for I had been told that she_ had but just arrived. My friend Bell was with me, and his anxiety was something pairiful to watch. First he stood on one foot and then on the other, and finally fortified himself with a brandy and soda. At. last Miss A.’s door opened and she. emerged. Horror of . horrors! But there she was the cynosure of all eyes, for she was clad in a black knit bathing costume, made in one piece, which was about ten sizes too small; for the bottoms of the dainty trousers, intended to reach to thé knee, only came halfway, where they were met by long black stockings. The sleeves were pinned up so as to display her plump white arms. She poised for a moment and then, with an. affected toss of her head:at her-gentleman escort,dived in. There was a tear, and— well, she retired to her dressing room without her bath. I subsequently learned that she had borrowed the costume from a very diminutive lidy friend. Whence the moral. Don’t borrow your friend’s clothes, for if you do, disasters may follow! Bathing parties are quitethe proper caper and most any warm evening a number are made up. All seem to enjoy themselves and none more than the gentle uan escorts whose services are. called into requisition so frequentiTy by dainty screams of maidenly eowardice. JONATHAN WILDE.

Environ Transcrirt—I have celebrated the Fourth amid the impressive and historical surronndings of old Independence Hall, Valley Forge and other noted scenes where our nationality was indelibly printed with leaden bullets, and hewn out with the bayonet and the sword; and} with pride I write that yesterday’s celebration in this: mountain town, nestling like our proud American eagle high up in our justly famed ity and patriotism of the people generally, and in“particular to the energetic committee who.-had charye of the ar rangements. There was much hard work to be done, and they did it with a vim. A pavilion forty by eighty feet, beautifully decorated with evergreens, flags and mottoes, -with an airy awning covering all, also side booths where refreshments were dispensed, were built. Business houses and private residences were profusely decorated with flags. On the evening of the third mirthful, happy visitors commenced to ar* rive; came happy, welcome like the first smiling flowers Of spring. Soon all the hotels were filled to ovorflowing, and then the private houses were but too glad to throw open their doors and give hearty welcome to the happy young visitors—mostly native’ sons and fascinating daughters of the Golden West. Moore’s Flat manhood and beauty sent an admirable delegation, as also did Columbia Hill, Relief Hill, North Bloomfield, Derbec, Washington and Minnesota; and from San Francisco Mrs. Dearborn and Mrs. Marshal, formerly of Moore's Flat, came to pass the Fourth amid the dear scenes of their happy girlhood. The Columbia Hill band discoursed sweet and patriotic music, “while booming anvils rolled their thunder among the mountains, deep, canyons and winding ravines. A few hundred feet from Allison’s and Mannix’s hotels, where’ the pavilion was erected, the waters of Bowman’s Dam come tumbling down in snowy foam over the cliffs. A little to the north the watersof French Lake come roaring down the sides of Bald mountain over a descent of nine hundred feet. The air is laden with the aroma of balsam, pine, spruce and cedar. Gentle readers of the hot valleys and plains, please take in the situation and the occasion; see the happy, gayly attired school children under the guidance of Miss Davis, their .loved and -efficient teacher. Over one hundred couple are now. in the pavilion, many others being outside, when in unison the little ones ner,” “Columbia,” ‘‘America,” Do you wonder that the old time fire lights up the genial countenance of Mr. Blackwell of Moore’s Flat, President of the Day, that the first: flush of a future hope is perceptible in: the young reader, Henry Fitter, and that John Austin, the young’ and modest orator, gathers inspiration from the himselt with much credit by this, his first oration ? At the conclusion of the exercises, a bountiful dinner, substantial and luxurious, was spread out on long tables free so\all, with barrels of ice cald lemonade. After dinner ‘came foot racing, jumping, and other atheletic sports. ,Charles’ Morrow won the 100 yard tite : me SUR Jack Gibvins and Will Moyle of Rocky Glen and Charles Morrow entered for a four mile race, Gibbins ‘winning. Aout $300 was up on this race. A young ladies’ race was nicely won by Miss Aggie Skahaen. A little girl’s race was won by Mise Brock of the Derbec, I could not repress a pang of compaasi on at the disappointed. look of the other little girl, Miss Munro, at baving lost the race, but the generous miners soon made the little femininity happy by a liberal donation. ‘ As athletes, Charles Morrow and Andy Fitzgerald are over thy average and with training would be hard to beat, In the evening music by the band, fireworks and salutes; during the day the men old and young hid their betting, running, athletic sports and triumphs, and I need scarce men: tion, ‘‘patriotic drinks.’”’ j The ladies could but look on and smile their approval, and in a: few cases where too much of the putriotic mixture had been imbibed could not repress a little merrimont at the ludicrous episodes of the masculines. Scarce had the shade: of evening spread ber mellow light o’er all wher a mischevious and witching twinkle sparkled in the eyes.of Evo’y fair daughters, seeming to say, Now you men have had your fun and triumph-, We being bit the passive spectitir: tonight we will try our power and have our triamphs. So beware! Fair woman knows her power. And triumph they did, It was a spectacle long to be remembered—auel an ar‘ray of purity, modesty, womanly beauty ; and don’t-be surprised if the .

Boards of Supervisors thereof, &c.''’—Stat*, 1885, p. 95. : If such rates have not=been establishe:! by the Supervisors, all that any person need do is to tender to the ditch owner, a person or corporation, tbe rates established by such owner and demand the amount of water wanted, while rates, ‘‘as to each class, (mining, irrigating, mechanical, mantifacturing and domestic,) shall be equal and uniform,” saya the law—and such ditch owner is, compelled to furnish the water as demanded, under penalties provided for by the Statute, to the extent of its reasonable ability so to do.’’ Tho rates so established, when fixed. by the Board of Supervisors, can be changed annually or amended, on petition of taxpayers, after notice. And it seems to me that if the rates established by'a ditch. owner are: exorbitant, or the conditions oppressive, a petition could easily be filled by the requisite number of taxpayers, twentyfive, to-bring such ditch owner under control of the Board of Supervisors, and lot him know, even if he thinks “there is no God of Israel,’’ that there is law in the land, If the “Close list’? company has “1,000 inches to.sell at eizht cents per inch, just tell them to send an extension of its ditch down our way, and we will be glad to get it at the price named. We are paying sixteen cents per inch, or $5.00 per acre for the season, and, like Oiiver Twist, our farmers ure crying for more at’ the same rates. I think it would be a good idea for you to publish the whole law. referred to, a8 a matter of news to the people, ALFALBA, ee @ee at 105 Years, Died James Scott, aged 105 years, died a week ago at Moonshine, a Yuba county village situated” five miles from San Juan.

There were eighty of them originally, but: so far as is known the only survivors residing in this county are Wm. Scott, W. 8. Bradley and Geo. Gray, who lives at the county seat, and Hon. 8. L. Blackwell of Snow Point. It is believed that the veterans are entitled to draw $5 apiece for each day they served, also $& a day for the use of each horse, besides nay for saddles, blankets, etc., provid-ed they can get. their claims properly presented to’ Congress through the State Board of Examiners of Nevada. _ Wm.

He had all his arrangements made to borrow from @ San Francigco widow the money to carry on its de. velopment, when this paper’s remarks on the property met her eye and she put up her purse. Just before the Fourth the new house on the claim was attached for the lumber in it. George W., the son, has gone to San Francisco, to endeavor to enlist capital in the enterprise. He rode to this city on the boot of the stage, and from here started afoot saying that it made him sick at the stomach to ride over the Narrow Gauge railroad. The Coming Sta te Fair.

Now is the time for our people to begin making preparations for it. Articles worth exhibiting should be carefully preserved.

San Francisco, July 6th, 1888. The last firecracker has mournfully exploded, and the 112th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence is a thing of the past. The national birthday was celebrated with becoming: patriotism. For 24 hours there were no Democrits, no Republicans. Everybody was’ “an American citizen, glorying in the land of his birth or adoption, and realizing that although: foreign powers may prate and their subjects proclaim, there’s no place under the limitless dome of Heaven that can compare with ‘the land of the free and ‘the home of the brave’’—where the humblest artisan has the same voice in the administration of the government as the millionaire, and merit, not. birth, proclaims the man, As I sit at my desk and half sleepily pen these lines, I cannot but exult over the progress of the land af my nativity. But a little over a century ago, our forefathers gave to the world the grandest example of bravery known. to history, beside which the most glorious feats of valour-are but infantile. Realizing fully that it was a case of life or death, of liberty or slavery, of progression or passive inactivity, the signers of the documents on which this great, nation has been builded, eolemnly and fearlessly, with trust in God and a belief in their own countrymen, dipped their old quill pens into the ink and wrote their names. Years have come and gene since that eventful day. The country has been. drenched .in gore. Homes and hearts alike have been shattered. Poverty has taken the place of affluence upon more than one occasion, and the skeleton hand of misery has plucked at our attenuated throat frequently. Yethave we been strong in our trust and valorous of our deeds, and ‘many a day has passed since the sun of prosperity burst through the clouds of adversity, and bathed our people in the warmth ot its refulgent rays. Honored and respected by all the nations of the earth; opulent inthe illimitable vastness of our resources ; happy in our. domestic relations, and comfortable with the good things which Heaven has Bhowered upon us, weshould indeed, exult not vain-gloriously, but in a spirit of gratitude and thanksgiving. :In the morning there was a procession, which was more than usually attractive owing tothe preseace of the regiments comprising the Second Brigour National Gua: dsmen have scen fit to go offen.little junketing expeditions nor Waterman very properly ordered fesult of eminent satisfaction to the citizens and country visitors. In the afternoon the Frances Scott Key monument was unveiled in Golden Gate Park, and in the evening there was a display of fireworks at the Haight street baseball grouncs, and literary exercises at the Grand, Qpera House. The number of fires was, as usmnal, usually small. * * * * * * * * Apropos of the exercises in the afternoon, thousands of peopie witnessed the unveiling of the nionument. erected hy the trustees of James Lick’s estate to the memory of the author of the “Star Spangled Banner,’”? which was accomplished amid patriotic speeches by General R.

Of the many who have come to California poor in pocket and sick at heart, and filled the one and cured the other, few are they who have rememtered the State of their adoption. Of the many who have amassed fortunes few have given any of their wealth to the community in which they made it all. Of those few none will ever be remembered longer than James Lick. In lifetime, looked upon by most people as a close-fisted, hard-hearted miser, the bad that he did has been interred with his bones, and the good is living after him, The old pioneer timne,as those who knew hiin will attest. He made a vast amount of money and keptit; and it was not until he had done with life, that thoue who had reviled him most realized . that he loved California as we do who =. were bora here.

Talking of baths the mania for bathing has again siezed upon everybody —young and old, bigand small. I don’t mean that the people of San Francisco are not in the habit of washing themselves. Agood portion certainly do that, although I’ll admit I’ve seen some urchins of whose faces corn might be planted with fair prospects of goodly returns. I reter to swimming, bathingand laving in the waters of the bay, eitherat the baths at Alameda under the open sky, or at North Beach, in this city, in the enclosed bathhouses. I strolled over to one of them not long ago and saw the most motley gathering of people I have seen for a longtime. There were about twenty in all, half old and half young. Some of the girls were plump and alluring; others were scrawney and repulsive. One young lady, well known in socjety circles, who lives‘on Golden Gate avenue, has the most ample of proportions, and it was with some considerable expectation that I awaited ‘her entrance into the water, for I had been told that she_ had but just arrived. My friend Bell was with me, and his anxiety was something pairiful to watch. First he stood on one foot and then on the other, and finally fortified himself with a brandy and soda. At. last Miss A.’s door opened and she. emerged. Horror of . horrors! But there she was the cynosure of all eyes, for she was clad in a black knit bathing costume, made in one piece, which was about ten sizes too small; for the bottoms of the dainty trousers, intended to reach to thé knee, only came halfway, where they were met by long black stockings. The sleeves were pinned up so as to display her plump white arms. She poised for a moment and then, with an. affected toss of her head:at her-gentleman escort,dived in. There was a tear, and— well, she retired to her dressing room without her bath. I subsequently learned that she had borrowed the costume from a very diminutive lidy friend. Whence the moral. Don’t borrow your friend’s clothes, for if you do, disasters may follow! Bathing parties are quitethe proper caper and most any warm evening a number are made up. All seem to enjoy themselves and none more than the gentle uan escorts whose services are. called into requisition so frequentiTy by dainty screams of maidenly eowardice. JONATHAN WILDE.

Environ Transcrirt—I have celebrated the Fourth amid the impressive and historical surronndings of old Independence Hall, Valley Forge and other noted scenes where our nationality was indelibly printed with leaden bullets, and hewn out with the bayonet and the sword; and} with pride I write that yesterday’s celebration in this: mountain town, nestling like our proud American eagle high up in our justly famed ity and patriotism of the people generally, and in“particular to the energetic committee who.-had charye of the ar rangements. There was much hard work to be done, and they did it with a vim. A pavilion forty by eighty feet, beautifully decorated with evergreens, flags and mottoes, -with an airy awning covering all, also side booths where refreshments were dispensed, were built. Business houses and private residences were profusely decorated with flags. On the evening of the third mirthful, happy visitors commenced to ar* rive; came happy, welcome like the first smiling flowers Of spring. Soon all the hotels were filled to ovorflowing, and then the private houses were but too glad to throw open their doors and give hearty welcome to the happy young visitors—mostly native’ sons and fascinating daughters of the Golden West. Moore’s Flat manhood and beauty sent an admirable delegation, as also did Columbia Hill, Relief Hill, North Bloomfield, Derbec, Washington and Minnesota; and from San Francisco Mrs. Dearborn and Mrs. Marshal, formerly of Moore's Flat, came to pass the Fourth amid the dear scenes of their happy girlhood. The Columbia Hill band discoursed sweet and patriotic music, “while booming anvils rolled their thunder among the mountains, deep, canyons and winding ravines. A few hundred feet from Allison’s and Mannix’s hotels, where’ the pavilion was erected, the waters of Bowman’s Dam come tumbling down in snowy foam over the cliffs. A little to the north the watersof French Lake come roaring down the sides of Bald mountain over a descent of nine hundred feet. The air is laden with the aroma of balsam, pine, spruce and cedar. Gentle readers of the hot valleys and plains, please take in the situation and the occasion; see the happy, gayly attired school children under the guidance of Miss Davis, their .loved and -efficient teacher. Over one hundred couple are now. in the pavilion, many others being outside, when in unison the little ones ner,” “Columbia,” ‘‘America,” Do you wonder that the old time fire lights up the genial countenance of Mr. Blackwell of Moore’s Flat, President of the Day, that the first: flush of a future hope is perceptible in: the young reader, Henry Fitter, and that John Austin, the young’ and modest orator, gathers inspiration from the himselt with much credit by this, his first oration ?

A Correspondent Takes Issue With Hie Statements, Grass VA.iey, June 29th, 1888, Eprror'Trawrcrivr:—I would suge gest that your correspondent ‘Squid’ in his earnest complaint, and well ; written communication, against a seeming. great hardship, is laboring under. a misapprehension of facts from a want of information as to what isthe law, The Legislature of this State has éxercised “‘its right of eminent domain,” as he expresses it, and has declared that ‘‘the use of all water now appropriated, or that may bereafter be. appropriated for’ irrigation, sale, rental or distribution, is a public use, and the right to collect rates or compensation for use of such water ina franchise, * * * and shall be regulated controlled in the several counties of this State by the. Boards of Supervisors thereof, &c.''’—Stat*, 1885, p. 95. : If such rates have not=been establishe:! by the Supervisors, all that any person need do is to tender to the ditch owner, a person or corporation, tbe rates established by such owner and demand the amount of water wanted, while rates, ‘‘as to each class, (mining, irrigating, mechanical, mantifacturing and domestic,) shall be equal and uniform,” saya the law—and such ditch owner is, compelled to furnish the water as demanded, under penalties provided for by the Statute, to the extent of its reasonable ability so to do.’’ Tho rates so established, when fixed. by the Board of Supervisors, can be changed annually or amended, on petition of taxpayers, after notice. And it seems to me that if the rates established by'a ditch. owner are: exorbitant, or the conditions oppressive, a petition could easily be filled by the requisite number of taxpayers, twentyfive, to-bring such ditch owner under control of the Board of Supervisors, and lot him know, even if he thinks “there is no God of Israel,’’ that there is law in the land, If the “Close list’? company has “1,000 inches to.sell at eizht cents per inch, just tell them to send an extension of its ditch down our way, and we will be glad to get it at the price named. We are paying sixteen cents per inch, or $5.00 per acre for the season, and, like Oiiver Twist, our farmers ure crying for more at’ the same rates. I think it would be a good idea for you to publish the whole law. referred to, a8 a matter of news to the people, ALFALBA, ee @ee at 105 Years, Died James Scott, aged 105 years, died a week ago at Moonshine, a Yuba county village situated” five miles from San Juan.
