The other day the TRrANscrirT published an extract from an article regarding the Smith case that appeared ithe San Jose Mereury. We unintentiona'ly negiected tostat : that “the Mercury expressed its opinions while laboring under an impression that the verdict was for manslaughter instead of murder in the second degree. a oe The Debris Commitssioxcers. Messrs, Searts, Parks and Knox, the Drainage ‘Commissioners, have been busily engaged et Sacramento for several days past conferring with \contractors, examining bills, reports, etc., and considering all matters af“fecting the object of the-cominission. It was thought they would conclude their business yesterday. 2 a . Tue Alta of Friday says: A letter has been received here from one of the ‘‘inside” men in Eastern politics, asserting that in all probabilities exGovernor Reuben E. Fenton, ‘of New York, will be offered the position of Secretary of the Tréasury in Presiden Garfield's Cabinet. Governor Fenton has many. aequaintanees in this State, having spent five months during the past year with us. He recently visited Gemeral Garfield at Mentor, by request of the Presidentelect. They have been close friends for years. a Tug San Francisco Daily Report makes this well-grounded suggeation: A subscription should be raised to present each one of the Eastern mining papers with a map of the Pac fic Coast States and Territories so that the editors may glance at the wall and see at aglance that Nevada is notin Arizona, that Califoriia” is not a part of Storey county (Nev.), “fad that Nevada county (Cal.) is mot in the State of Nevada, Tue Free Lance exposes its hand “every time it moves a muscle. We ean readily imagine how gladly it would like to help bring about a split among the Republican Assemblymen who are going to vote for 9 United States Senator soon, and thiis succeed in running in a Democrat “who would only lack ten votes of being eleeted if the Republicans wore kept solid. A‘ REMARKABLE suicide lately oc‘curred in New York, -A man was found hanging‘in his-room, who -had evidently destroyed himself to ‘avoid starvation, with an open Bible before him. « The struggle between faith and despair, hope and poverty, which the combinatiou of the Bible and halter iadicated, reminds one, of the old story @f Plate and ‘the «lngger. ‘ Tite ef Republican Itenss. — q Mrs. Wm. Hurd of this place has the very cheering prospect, if she ‘lives long enough, of obtaiiing geveral milliona of dollars as hér share of the Springer estate, -which property consists of some 187000 acres of jand on which is located the city of Wilmington, Delaware.Nine gangs of ®hinamen were paid off in town the other day. ‘TLey had $10,000 coming to them. We are informed tkat in less than a day over two thirds of the’ money had been shipped by express toa firm in San -Francisco, who are to forward % to China. That is where the money oes. : The ice ponds at Boca and Prosser Creek were nitely covered with ice previous to the storm, and we unstand the different companies were preparing to commence the harvest. The snow coming on necessitated the employment of men to sweep it off until clear weather _eomes agatn‘when the work of filliag the ice ouses will begin. »Ton. Robinson went to Tahoe City Wednesday, with an eight horse team. ‘Thursday morning be found the snow from fifteen to eighteen inches deep. John Hyslop was also liere with Moody’s two horse stage. ‘he two teams were started about nine o’clock, and:arrived here at 6. They found-the snow in places drift‘ed across the road to a depth of three or four feet. With shoveling and continued work they made the town, but declare it the roughest trip they ever mae. —_ og fan Net Get Through. Thestageetarted from Back Bone to Graniteville ~ ‘on Friday morning, but when it had gone runners snow became so deep that the driver had to‘leaveit,and barely succeeded the horses; ~-Friday morning several more hotses were secured. at Eereka and an_effort was made to break the road through to where the sled had been left. After the horses had floundered around for some time in snow that was up to their backs, the undertaking had to be abandoned. It was reported . that another attempt would be made yesterday to get the road open, abl though our informant thought, there: was but slight chance of getting through, Totally Wrecked, The dilapidated frame buildir g on te lower side of Sacramento street, midway betweenthe Plaza and the Narrow Gauge depot, which was formerly used as a machine shop, but has for several years been occupiéd only by tramps who could® secure a tiights’s lodging there on the soft side of plank without money or cost, has at last gone the way of all earthly things. Night before ‘ast, being unable longer to bear the weight of the snow on the roof, the old ruin collapsed, and the timbers went sliding down towards Deer ereek, It has been an eyesore for a long time, and nobody will mourn its downfall, Whe Suntth Case. To-morrow morning is the time set by the Superior Court of this county to sentence George W. Smith who killed T. W. Sigourney, It is generally believed that the prisoner's counsel will move fer his release on the grounds that the verdict was not properly recorded, The outcome of all this terrible trouble will be awaited with great interest. ‘ : —~— Y Had té Come Cut Piecemeal. R. Mc Murray, Superintendent of the Eureka Lake Company, went to Moore's Flat the other day with his horses and carriage, and when he was ready to leave Friday the snow had become so deep he could not drive out, The carriage was taken to pieces, laid on a sled, hauled through the deep snow, and then put together again, —--—— —+ + @ee@A Merited Compli@ent, ly of the Nevada Light Guard and the condition of the State property. in the company’s possession.

"the Union ¢laims that with the récent improvements the mill at the Rocky Bar mine is fot excelled for capagity by any in the'county, and then“describes it : The mill which contains tenstémps, is below the level of the heisting works, and all that is necessary on the part of the workmen is to keep the hoppers full of quartz and it will be fed into the batteries better than ! by hand. Galvanized plates are used in front of the batteries, and thé; sluices leading therefrom are lined with ‘the same. Below the sluices are two Eureka Rubbers, (a Grass Valley invention long in use in the district) through. which the sands pass, and obtaiv a rubbing process which has a tendency to free fine particles of gold and aid the amalgamatiow, Below the rubbers are seven Hendy settles, and beside them two Knox.pans, in which to ‘grind the sulphurets.

The wholecmachmery for working the sands and saving gold after the crushing ‘of the rock is about as perfect as it well can be, and the quartz is ‘worked for allit is worth. A new engine and boiler lately put in the mill gives all the power that will be required ander any circumstances, Vanderbilt Challenged by Grant that General Gratit was guilty” the other day of trying to yet up a horse race with W.
