BROWN & CALKINS, Proprietors,
FRIDAY, FEB. 17, 1882.
THAT'S JUST IT.
Nevada TransoniPT advocates
“ht of Page’s so-called Debrie bill, and makes the confident
assertion ‘“‘that gold mining is too
important an industry, and our gold
are too vast to have such ap
idaty closed by litigation.” Down .
this way, Mr, Transcrirt, there are
‘who are weak-ininded enough
ve that there is a law which
will prevent one citizen from deng the property of another.—
Maryeville Appeal.
We thank the Appeal for its frank
admission. The law it speaks of is
the precise one that the hydraulic
miners propose to preserve their

at least one hundred million dollars’
worth of property that will be made
yalueless if the cause of the. antislickensites-is-successful. They purchased their mines from the United
States, paying an exorbitant price
for them in order to secure the attendant right to dump their tailings
into the water-ways below them.For more than a quarter of a century
they have been exercising the privileges they paid for, and the Nation
has been enriched by the results of
their labor. Up this way, Mr. Ap____ peal, there are people shrewd enough
l
to see that the Government will not
permit this great legitimate wealthproducing industry to be sacrificed in order to quiet the
howls of the ‘owners of a
few hundred acres of swampland
who are under the vile influence of a
gang of fee-hunting lawyers, hoggish
landgrabbers, unprincipled politic.
ians and fanatical local newspapers.

THE marriage insurance folly is
creeping out in this direction, and it
is well to known that the bubble appears to have begun a general collapse, in Richmond, Indiana. The
, inducements to policyholders to get
married fora dowry of $500, upon
the expenditure ot a few hundred
dollars, appear tu have been too great
for the ‘United States: Marriage
Dowry Association to stand, and the;
company was obliged to stop for the
want of fands to pay the benefits
due to members who rushed: into
matrimony to reap the promised
financial-reward. The officers of the
association retained twenty per cent.
of all moneys received for running
expenses and their own use, They
paid dowries to begin with, but their
policy-holders got married too fast.
Now suits have been begun against
the managers, and some of them have
~ -béen decided against the officers of
the company, some of whom are responsible men. Suits will therefore
be brought as fast as marriages mature among the insured.
THE annual encampment of the
Grand Army of the Republic takes
place at San Jose on the 17th and
18th insts. The whole coast is ineluded in this ‘Department, and as
important matters are to be attended
to, a large attendance is _ expected.
A glee club-will accompany the San
’ Francisco delegation. Many of the
G. A. R. posts of California have
passed a vote of thanks to Senator
Miller, General Rosecrans and Senator Ingalls of Kansas for their zealous defence of the Pension Arrears
Act.
Onu of the wealthy and fashionable women of Zanesville, Ohio, astonished a large company of keno
gamblers by walking coolly into the
room where they avere at play, accompanied bya policeman. She was
in quest of a young brother, who had
become possessed of an uncontrollable mania for gambling; and she not
only took’ him away, but secured
enough evidence to convict the proPrietors of the place, which was shen

teh: latter would be very strong.”

A PLEA FOR REFORM.
(8. F. Daily Exchange.]
Let us suppress the Chinese lotteries and save our children from the
terrible lust of gambling, and tell
them what a demoralizing tasce it
is, as we start for the club to play
poker until the rattle of the milk
cans break up the game.
en A BROKEN HEART.
[S. F. Alta.) :
* Little Hart had—an—insane— idea
that he was the State, when he degraded his office to make war-on the
miners, He has found out his mistake. The Board of Examiners have
kicked out his bills) The Republican party—will kick out little Hart.
A GREAT MAN’S MIST4 KE.
{Peck’s Sun.}
Judge Folger, the ‘new Secretary
of the Treasury, recently paid forty
dollars for a cow he had killed while
shooting snipe in NewJersey. It does
not seem as though a man who could
and a snipe, could manage the
finances of this glorious republic. We
should think he coud tell the difference by the bill—for killing the
cow.
A MQSS-COVERED OPINION.
{S. F. Chronicle.]
~A St, Louis dentist is on the high
road to fortune. He recently sned
a man in that city for $21.50 for replacing several of his mother-in-law’s
teeth. The lady herself swore in
court that the tecth were so big that
when they were in her moath she
could neither eat nor talk. The
dentist felt aggrieved because the
Court allowed him only $5.50, but a
bystander was eager to engage his
services if he could guarantee to put
that kind of teeth in his mother-inlaw’s jaw.
soe _
Lead Ores.
The Union says: William Gay,
who is interested in ‘a mining location called the Mammoth, which is
about one mile north-west of Spenceville, brought to Grass Valley, Wednesday, a number of pieces of ore
from the'claim which were remarkably heavy in lead. This was taken
out within four feet of the surface of
the ground. There were no assdyers.or experts around to prove whether the ore contained silver, but appearances favored the belief of the
presence of that valuable metal. The
great copper belt rans through the
foot-hills at Spenceville and vicinity,
and these lead ores are in the same
geological formation. Some of the
veins prospect in gold,, but are not
rich in that precious metal. The region to the north and south of
Spenceville is rich in copper ores,
and lead and silver may yet be
found in quantity to prove profitable
for working, as the specimens above
seem to indicate.
What Hallenbeck Says.
Mr. Hallenbeck, the temperance
revivalist who recently laboredwith
our Grass. Valley brothersand sisters,
is now in San Francisco. The other
night he hit the moderate drinkers
there a pretty hard rap in the following fashion: ‘‘Moderate drinkers
are the curse of this community, especially so -are those cool-headed
driukers who can carry a full load
without staggering, and who say to
the temperance people, ‘look at
us; we drink but can attend to our:
business, and drink does not get the
best of us.’ The moderate drinker
is ruinng the young men of San
Francisco. It is easy to convince a
drunkard that drink is his ruin, but
a moderate drink is beyond all help,
except the power of God.”
A memBeEr of the Kentucky Legislature recently introduced a bill
making it an offense punishable by
finé to tell a lie. The!-other members thought of the evenings when
they would have to sit around the
stove in country groceries and enter<
tain their constituents with stories of
official.life in the State capital, and
the bill was tabled by an overwhelming majority.
