On Sunpay evening many young boys were engagedin the pastime of sliding down the steep walks of the town, there being sufficient snow to make good coasting. People on their way to church did not seem pleased to be compelled to get off the walks to accommodate youngsters who were violating the fourth commandment. Tue Placer Herald says, that after many drawbacks, Wm.

New Year’s holiday goods are offered by many of our dealers at remarkably low prices. They do ‘not desire to carry them over another year, and therefore offer ‘them at greatly reduced rates. Foreman Pearp says there is no truth in the report that a box of rich specimens were recently found in an old drift-that was being reopened at the Wyoming mine. E. J. Raymonn, who is sojourning in Penn Valley for the benefit of his health, is spending the holidays in this city as the guest of his cousin, E. M. Preston.

Newhall, who is .considered well THE DAILY. TRANSCRIPT «. Yersed in matters around the Bay, recently did this thing in New York, the ocvasion being when he was asked by a reporter. as to the cause of the dull times on the PaHe replied: ginning with the farmer, who is hoarding his grain for higher prices, the dullness extends to the small tradesman who will not increase his stock, and so on to the wholesaler and manufacturer and those whom they employ. Hydraulic mining, after working incalculable injury to the farming lands of the State, has been put anend to by the statute. But. that alone used to yield $20,000,000 annually and employ an army Mr. Newhall was simply guilty ofa false statement when he told the reporter that “hydraulic mining has worked an incalculable injury to the farming cific Coast. of laborers.’’ CALIFORNIA BY COMPARISON. pire of the Pacific. California is 770 miles long, being bounded its entire length on the west by the Pacific ocean. Its greatest width is 330 miles,and it contains 183,981 square miles, or 129,987,840 square acres of land. Compared to other States of the Union, it is four times the size of New York; it is twenty-four times as large as Massachusetts; it is 144 times as large as Rhode Island. Compared with European countries, it is four-fifths the size of Austria,and lacks but a fraction of equaling the whole area of France. It is nearly twice the size of Italy, and one-half times greater than the whole British Isles constituting Great Britain. California contains 80,000,000 acres of land suited to cultivation and profitable agricultural purposes. The population of California in 1880—the last census—including nese and Japanese, was 789,617. It now has a much larger popularitory,New York had a population of 5,000,000 in 1880, or over six times the population of California. With one-twenty-fourth of the territory, Massachusetts had a population of 1,500,000, or nearly twice Good Little Truckee. Even that great and good man e columns of the Grass Valley Tidings points out the way of righteousness and lights the entrance to it with the benign truths that flow from his able pen, has not been accused of shedding a tear over Truckee’s waywardness for many months. The people down this way were beginning to wonder whether he had lowered his standard of what constitutes good behavior in a community, or whether it was possible that Truckee was no longer amenable to criticism. publican of last Saturday settles this question which has so deeply agitated the public mind. Itsays: “Our justices, constables and lawyers have shut up shop and are rustling for a living on the outside.

The town is How. odd it ‘. debris has destroyed, at least so as devoid ‘of understanding of this lands of the State.’’ The mining it is reported, about ten thousand acres of land in all,’and only afSutter and Colusa counties. We believe the disturbance and consequent washing off of the soil by agriculturists and horticulturists to have brought about as much injury of this character as mining has. If Mr. Newhall had informed himself on the subject he would have learned that this year’s grain yield in the counties has been greater than that of any previous year. Again, if Mr. Newhall had investigated for himthe anti-mining liars for it, he would have ascertained that in no possible contingency can ninetynine per cent. of the farming lands ofthe State be reached by the washings of hydraulic mines. Such'an exhibition of ignorance was hardly to be expected from a man of his acquirements in most respects, but when we take into consideration the fact that he never invested a dollar ina California mine, never has seen any kind of a mine, and relies upon the anti-mining papers for his information, we cannot reasonbly expect a correct opinion of the situation to emanate from him.We can understand how when the reporter proceeded to interview him ance upon any of the great interests of the State of which he is a York acquaintances who regard for him to do was to give “an take the chances of being correct. when he said that “hydraulic and he a man who got his start in are always ready to bow to the truth.

But. that alone used to yield $20,000,000 annually and employ an army Mr. Newhall was simply guilty ofa false statement when he told the reporter that “hydraulic mining has worked an incalculable injury to the farming cific Coast. of laborers.’’ CALIFORNIA BY COMPARISON. pire of the Pacific. California is 770 miles long, being bounded its entire length on the west by the Pacific ocean. Its greatest width is 330 miles,and it contains 183,981 square miles, or 129,987,840 square acres of land. Compared to other States of the Union, it is four times the size of New York; it is twenty-four times as large as Massachusetts; it is 144 times as large as Rhode Island. Compared with European countries, it is four-fifths the size of Austria,and lacks but a fraction of equaling the whole area of France. It is nearly twice the size of Italy, and one-half times greater than the whole British Isles constituting Great Britain. California contains 80,000,000 acres of land suited to cultivation and profitable agricultural purposes. The population of California in 1880—the last census—including nese and Japanese, was 789,617. It now has a much larger popularitory,New York had a population of 5,000,000 in 1880, or over six times the population of California. With one-twenty-fourth of the territory, Massachusetts had a population of 1,500,000, or nearly twice Good Little Truckee. Even that great and good man e columns of the Grass Valley Tidings points out the way of righteousness and lights the entrance to it with the benign truths that flow from his able pen, has not been accused of shedding a tear over Truckee’s waywardness for many months. The people down this way were beginning to wonder whether he had lowered his standard of what constitutes good behavior in a community, or whether it was possible that Truckee was no longer amenable to criticism. publican of last Saturday settles this question which has so deeply agitated the public mind.

We believe the disturbance and consequent washing off of the soil by agriculturists and horticulturists to have brought about as much injury of this character as mining has. If Mr. Newhall had informed himself on the subject he would have learned that this year’s grain yield in the counties has been greater than that of any previous year. Again, if Mr. Newhall had investigated for himthe anti-mining liars for it, he would have ascertained that in no possible contingency can ninetynine per cent. of the farming lands ofthe State be reached by the washings of hydraulic mines. Such'an exhibition of ignorance was hardly to be expected from a man of his acquirements in most respects, but when we take into consideration the fact that he never invested a dollar ina California mine, never has seen any kind of a mine, and relies upon the anti-mining papers for his information, we cannot reasonbly expect a correct opinion of the situation to emanate from him.We can understand how when the reporter proceeded to interview him ance upon any of the great interests of the State of which he is a York acquaintances who regard for him to do was to give “an take the chances of being correct. when he said that “hydraulic and he a man who got his start in are always ready to bow to the truth.
