"The present year’ wus ushe
wit the sale of three of our sid.
pal mines. First, the Emma, being
sold for the light sum of $5,000,000.
This mine has seen many ups and
downs, pinch ins and pinch outs—
this last pinch being the last pinch of
its existence. Last’ Summer one

Next in order comes the Flag Staff,

the departure of its prop. ‘The most
remarkable feature of the article of
the Reporter, after the repeal, is that
stating that the Republicans proposed to get up a similar bill to make

This. was merely to frighten the Dem~ocrats in the Senate to another re_

not believe the Republicans have
thought of any such measure, and if

There is
one thing certain, every Republican
who votes for any such measure as
the litigant bill or the State. paper
— Jaw, will place himself in an unenviable position in the party, and he
should be denounced as unfit to represent the people. The principle of
legislation ‘which discriminates in
favor of one concern in the same
business, or which destroys free
competition in trade, is odious to
the people, and we are satisfied that
there is no foundation for the statement of the Reporter that any such
legislation is contemplated by Republicans. The Litigant and State
paper bills are dead forever, and we
do not believe similar measures will
ever be enacted in the State of California.
_Laprary Marrers.—The Grass
Valley Republican says: Nevada City
has one of the best public libraries
in the State,-containing, we believe,
between two and three thousand volumes from the best authors. Their
library room is large, well furnished,
~ and can accommodate several hundred persons, and is frequently used
for lectures, debates, and ‘other useFor the still further
improvemént of their library, we
learn that the members have made
_ Strangements for a course of public
“lectures upon interesting topics of
the day. The people of Grass Val‘ley have made a worthy beginning in
the matterof procuring-a public library, but on still remains to be
= ~done before their efforts can be called
a complete success. More books are
wanted, ag well as a larger. and better
furnished library room. The present
accommodations are cramped, and-do
not afford those facilities: for readings, heanyon.
lectures, and various attractions that
“are necessary to a well “regulated:
library. We presume the thembers,
and the Trustees, particularly, are
doing the best they can with' the
ited means at their command.
at they need is more members,
“more money, and a more general
' interest in the welfare of the library
among our citizens. A good public
library is one of the best antidotes
fordissipation, idleness and vice that
can be devised. Every person who
contributes to its support does
something that is of practical benefit
to the community.

The next, the Davenport mine, has
been sold—-figures not stated; but rumor says $500,000. This mine, last
September, was bonded for the sam
of $150,000 for sixty days. Their
time expired, when the purchasing
party obtained-a renewal ‘of the bond
for ninety days more, and in the
mean time effected the sale. ‘The
above mentioned sales were to English companies, ‘which argues very
well for this district. The boys who
have stakes can now return to their
various homes and tell the stories \of
their experience, trials ti bai cae ,

IDES,
» There have been several snow
slides since my last letter. On the
5th inst. seven occurred, catching in
the aggregate eleven men. © Three
lost their lives in one slide, which
occurred in Big Cottonwood. Eight
persons were caught in slides on the
Emma hill, in Little Cottonwood, but
being seen were immediately exhumed and saved from a fearful
death, 5
H. A. Fraser and myself were making our way from the Patsey mine to
the blacksmith shop, distant about
three hundred. yards, when we experienced the sensation of starting
on a snow slide, which came near
proving a longer and colder journey
than we had a desire for so early in
the morning. We started from the
shop with each four drills on our
shoulder, I taking the lead and Fraser about ten feetin the rear. We
had advanced about three hundred
feet, when I heard a slight “thud’’
and jar under our feet,but not knowing what it meant advanced about
ten feet further, when the sound and
jarjwas (repeated. With our hearts
up in our throats, we began torealize our—situation. We were on a
snow slide more than two hundred
feet in length. With blanched faces
we gazed at each other for a moment,
and with trembling limbs beat a hasty retreat. On turning to retrace our
steps we found the snow slide had
carried us down the hill three feet.
It then stopped, giving us time to
gain, a sure footing on the hard snow
before it was carried into the deep
beneath. Taking.a survey
of the whole thing we concluded we
did not wish to be lionized as martyrs in a. sow slide, neither did we
wish to be called two benmsita corpses
in the snow.
THE STORM =,
The weather is still holding. « out at
a fearful rate. Storm after storm,
blow after blow, snow after snow,and)
the end is not yet. There is no use
to shovel, for in one hour every excavation you make is refilled. Sunshine is quite a rarity in Little Cottonwood, although I had the pleasure
of enjoying it for about an hour, ~
the first time in six weeks.
Notwithstanding the bad siinaiiae.
work still goes on. Mines that have
remained idle for the last two months
are being opened with redoubled exertion. Everybody here anticipates
a lively time this Spring, and pre. dict that anything i in the form of gray
carbonate or chloride ore will sell at
high figures, hence the early activity.
