_-bresk in that direction.
Hoodiums and thé Kathroad.
We have had occasion severbl
fimes to give Warning to the young
hoodtums that are growmg ap, awd
give them some goo@ advice, but it
is evident the seed we have endeav-.
ored to sow has not sprung up and
brought forth any good fruit that we
‘know of. Nevertheless, this shall
‘not deter us from making apotber
2 It is: evident to our mind that . ‘parents are .
almost wholly responsible*for this
AUC Ree
i
_ acte-andmaking them believe they .
“Hoodlum element. If they would
take the proper-course with their
boys, instead of countenancing their
are ‘powerful’ smart children, there
_ would-be. less cause for consplaint,
\and the child would be better for it.
Not long ago a man was hung in
Ohio, and on the gallows he state)
that his parents were; as much to
blame for his crimes as he was . himself; for, said he, ‘when young. I did
wrong, and owr neighbors would
‘make complaints,.but the only rep-.
rimanding that was ever done was to
« the informers. They were told that
I was the best boy in the world, and
iy parenis honestly thought so, as
thousands of other parents do of
their children, thereby ruining them.
Instead, if my. parents had given me
severe floggings and insisted that I
should do right,and’not attempted to
excuse my conduct, I would not
huve-become hardened to wrong de.
ing, aud would have led a better
tife.”’
~~ehild is perfection, and if be-fails to
ehey you, or does» wrong, punish
him in your own way and make him
do right, so that when he grows up
he will be am ornament and not a
disgrace to society, Wedo not be“lieve the boys of this county are any.
worse than those ef other counties,
but we do know that one of the contenctora of our railroad thinks so, for,
—gaid ho; “‘I have been building rail-. °
‘roads for many years, and the first
time I was insulted by a boy, was in
Nevada county.” What a shame!
Comment .on that is unnecessary.
' Our railroad is about completed, and
if the same daring spirit and—carelesaneés continues to prevail_ among}.
out boys as las been sbewn since
the railroad reached the vicinity of
this plaee and ‘Grass Valley, we may
expect te hear of several being killed.
~Purents should insist that when they
allow their boys to go out to see the
railrodd, they must keep off of the
track and-thecars. Our City Trustees have wisely paséed am ordinance
whieh we hope will be enforced:
Section second reads as follows:
~ “Tt shall be dalawful, and is hereby dédlared to be a nuisance, for any
minor child under the age of eighteen
_yeara, to play or loiter. about any
“\ pailroad depot or the ‘cars of any
railroad in this city, or to ride upon
~“any railroad ¢ar, engine, truck or
other vehicle, without the consent of
the owners or agents thereof, The
Marshal or Policeman are authorized and empowered, andit is made
their duty to admonish all minors
Vielating the provisions of the ordinance, and to conduct such minor
—to bis-home, or in-their-discretion to
arrest such minors, Any one guilty
of violating the ordinance, shall
_ ‘wpon conviction be fined in a sum
not exceeding oae hundred dollars,
or be imprisoned not exceeding forty
days, at the discretion of the court,"’
Tun Bee saya: If Piper, instead of
‘introducing a bill making the new
silver dollar yet to be coined a legal
tender for twenty. dollars, and half
dollars a legal tender for any sum, be
would.have served his constituents
and the public much better! Why
abould a dollar of silver’ be issued
that is not by reason of weight and
fineness equal in value to a gold dollar, and being so equal; why should
it not be a legal tender for'$100 or
$10,000? Then no one would be
cheated! Then there would be no
brokers shaving off the poor man's
earniags. Butit would seem as if
our entire currency system, like our
entire land system; were invented
for the sole purpose of injuring the
~ many for the benefit of the few.

with the grand larceny of three certificates of Gepusit on the Nevada}

\ Cave and Loss of Life,
News was brought to this city yesterday forenoon by a Chinaman, of a
cave having ocourred im*the Sailor
Flat diggings at Blue’ Tent, and a
number of persons were: ‘buried in it. .
The Chinaman came into town for
assistauce, and a namber of persons
went out to that place. The elaims.
where the cave occurred ate at Sailor
Flat, aboat one mile from the Blue
Tent House, and about six miles
from this city. They ute owned by
Campbell, Peck, Chadwick and Storey. It seems the owners of the
claims had been expecting @ portion
of the bank would cave, and gave
the warning to the Chinamen who
were there employed. At about 10
o'clock yesterday morning the cave
occurred, whilé four Chinamen were
at work, and they all saw it coming,
and tried to get out of the way,
‘Two of them were—baried ‘ alive_bythe cave, and, another was caught,
but im such a manner as to be enabled to get out without assistance.
He was, however, considerably
broised, and the other one escaped
without a scrateh. A large fores
of men went to werk to get out the
two Chivamen who were covered Up,
. Which they succeeding iu duing, bet
they were both dead.
Another Liquor Bill.
The fotlowing bill has been istroduced in the Legislature:
~The People of: the State of California, represented in Senate and
Assembly, do enact as follows:

or furnishes or causes to be sold or
furnished, intoxicating liquors “to
any habitual or commen drankard
ox Indian, or person under the age

‘alaable invention fof ‘having gold by
the @ry washing process: At the Belmont Foundry is to be geen a simple
contrivance for ‘Gry-washing and sav
idgigold aud other ores, .The machine is intended to uperate in places
where water in sufficient quantities
‘can not be had, viz; portions of this
Stute, Arizona and some. of the
southern.. counties ‘of _Culifurnia.
. This machine was invented by Dr.
George Ginn and G. H. Hateb of this:
town. It was tested the other day
. ininers, who speak bighly of the in‘. vention, Five bundred pounds “of
sand, vlay and gravel, into which was
mixed 141 grains of fine gold were. run through the machine in eight .
minutes; 100 grains or about 90 per
cent. of the gold was saved
_ the operation, which is cettainly
a good result for a first trial: . The
experiment suggested. some slight
itepyovemetits whereby the whole
orat least: ninety-five per cent., is
confidently expected to be suved.
With the machine'in its rude and
unfinished state twenty tons can be
-worked—in—ten hours, The power
required is bat trifling; a 4-horse

blast and run or three machines,
As the suecuaals make «pplication

description, but will say that the test
gave good satisfaction, and will in
all probubility opew theasands of
acres ‘of auriferous fields to the stardy miner which would otherwise re>
main, as at present, an unproductive
waste. The machine, exelusive of
the engine, can be furnished for
from $100 to $150, and can be workod.by steam, horse. or. hand_power.
