Nevada County Oficial Press. Slickens aed the Barbor. The San Francisco Report of Tuesday says: At the meeting of the Board of Trade yesterday, the President in his report referred to the BROWN & CALKINS.FRIDAY, FEB. 8, 1884, smear arora a A GAFEGUARD TO THE VALLEYS, Yesterday we gave the capacity . in cubic feet.of some of the great reservoirs in this part of the State constructed by the hydraulic miners in order that they might have a source from which to derive a steady supply of water all the “year around for-earrying on their operations. Today we will again refer briefly to this same system of storing water in the mountains,and endeavor to‘ ahow that to it is in’a great measure due the comparative freedom from floods that the Sacramento V alley has been. blessed with during more than twenty years past, o1 since the:system was extensively iuaugurated. The reservoirs catch all the water from a watershed of 225 square miles in dimensions, where the rainfail averages aecording to the official records 20 per cent more than it does here at Nevada City, and about twice as much as it does in « similar area beginning just below Grass Valley and extending to the foothills, For instance, Lake For: dyce drains 90 equare miles, Bowman 60, Meadow Lake 10, Faucherie 20, Milton 30, and there are a pumbe: of smaller lakes having a drainage o! from’5 to 10 square miles each and bringing the aggregate to a atil: higher figure than we have named. Holding back, as they do, all th Water that is precipitated in great storms from a ‘line twenty ‘miles ' above this city tothe summit, the Yubas carry down to the Sacramento Valley at those times but a portion of what they would were 1 not for the barriera above; and the mining e¢ompanies in the dry -season gradually draw off in a stream what wonld otherwise: go down iv the hight of the storms. Thus th mainYuva, which: would otherwise have a rivulet of only two hundred inches or sO~in summer, carries about five thousand inches during all that time, the same-being the wa ter that the mines alung its banks are discharging into it ~(besides what evaporates and ir lost in other ways) in the Prosecution of their labors.— There has not been a great flood in the valleys since these dams were built, The question arises, during any winter when upward of fifty iuches fell at Nevada City (the av. erage for twenty years has been 56.876 inches) could levees have been built bigh oc strong enough to hav. kept within restraint ali the water thav would have flowed down frow the summit: of the Sierra, aud is more than double the amount that now reaches the luwer country in any storm? “We wish the Bee aud the Appeal could understand these matters aod appreciate their importance as well as the people up here do, They would not theo use as an argument why hydraulic mining had been a nuisance to the Stace the statemeot that the artiticial reserVoirs were a menace to the valleys, and ask that those reservoirs be done away with. _————__—_—______ A CANDIDATE’s BRUPES SLASTRED. Itis not hard to understand why the Tri-Weekly Herald should accuse Speaker Carlisle of being the original of the unlovely picture that found its way into thé TRaNscaipr celumns Suuday morniug, a8 we all know that Mr. Carlisle has aspirations for the Democratic nomination as President, and the Herald being of Republican proclivities would naturally enough bring its mighty influence to bear in knocking the political props from under him 80 a man less hard to vope with might Secure. the nominatiun, We caunot see, however, why the Grasy Valley Union, which has long been rédognized as one of the ablest and moat effective champions that the unterrified have in the United Siates, aud whose irresistible power extends so far and wide that uot, only county, but state and natignal gatherings of its party bow in obedience to its suggestions and trembleat its criticisms, should reiterate the serious charg: of the Herald and try to pull duwn the ambitious speaker as he is struggling bravely to reach the summit-ot his party's altar that ‘he may be sacrificed thereon. It is none of our business, we “suppose, how basely the great newspaper organs . treat their own partisans, and in fact we Supposeit is our duty as a Republican to encourage such internal dissensions among other fellows.— But the voice of. principle is louder than that of partisanship when things come to such a “pass as --bhey-have inthis particular case, _ aud we canvot help exclaiming trom the innermost recesses of cur shocked sensibiluies that the Union has displayed exceedingly bad taste, for which there is not the shadow of an excuse, Such conduct not only sur' prises, but deeply’pains ue, At tekes three members of the English House of Lords to make a quorum and several more to make a 1 Wuo'was the body-servant of the cont AS aK ¥ ae eae The valet of the Shadow of “Pshoaling ofthe bar outside the heads and, seemed to consider that it threatened.to cut us off from water communication with other cities This cry of alarm has been a favorite one for sume time and although it is a serious question, it is by no means as important as is supposed. Whether the slickens from the mines have assisted«materially in increasing the exteit of the bar or not, there can be little doubt that the bar has become wider and shoaler. The deposition of sand and mud at the mouth of a harbor can be readily accounted for by natural causes anu such deposition is bound to occur whether mining be practiced or not. All rivers and harbors have their tantly increasing bars, Yet th ee bars do not prevent other cities from being seaports. There was a time when the site of New. Orleans was miles out at sea, now that city ig a hundred miles from the gulf, and yet is the second seaport of importance in the country, Undeniably the shoaling of our bar is an important thing, but thers will always exist a ship channel even if portions of the bar finally become dry land The passage of the iinmense body of wat-" erin and out the bay twice every day will keep a channel clear, and when in the course of time the bay is filled with mud and becomes ‘dry land, as it undoubtedly will som: time in the future, San Fransisco will still be situated at the modth of broad, deep, navigable river, We used to hear a great deal of the ef. fect that a treatle bridge extending into the Bay from the Alameda shore would have on the tide-sweep and on the bar, Now the tide-sweep is actually impeded by a mole, and nothing is said of it. It probably does as much as the slickens in increasing the bar—perhaps more. But slick éns is the spasm just now; the railroad used to be. San Francisco is bound to have its periodical spasms. No Whiskey! Brown’s Iron BitTERS is One of the very few tonic medicines that are not composed mostly of alcohol or whiskey, thus»becoming a fruitful source of intemperance by promoting a desire for rum. Brown’s Iron Bittersis guaranteed to be a nonintoxicating stimulant, and it will, in nearly every case, take the place of all liquor, and at the same time absolutely kill the desire for whiskey and other intoxicating beverages, Rev. G. W. Rice, editor of the American Christ'an Rewiew, says of Browa's Ircn Bitters: Cin., O., Nov. 16, 1831, Gents :—The foolish wast ing of vital force in business, pleasure, and vicious indul gence of our people, makes your pereeien a necessity ; and if applied, will save hundreds who rescrt to saloons for temporary recuperation.

B. Lighthill, a noted physician of New York, who is specially engaged in the treatment of catarrh and diseases of the eye, throat, ear and nasal organs, In kis rooms we found a variety of delicate app.iances. used for reaching the affected organs and treating them mildly with proper and patties remedial liquids, vapors and powders, as the case may require. Varied and well adapted ihstruments for removing obstacles from the throat were shown, and the separate use of each explained. One portion of the apparatus contains a reflected light atrong which shows the cavity of the throat, or by. which any cavity oan be seen, and treated successfully, and by the aid of mirrors the vocal organs are plainly viewed. During the visit Dr. Lighthill was able to illustrate very successfully by operations upon two patients who declared they had been much relieved by the treatment. It is evident that the doctor loves the study to which he has devoted thirty years of his life, and that he is one in whom every confidence can be placed, for he is cer tainly a scientific specialist, DR.

B. Lighthill, a noted physician of New York, who is specially engaged in the treatment of catarrh and diseases of the eye, throat, ear and nasal organs, In kis rooms we found a variety of delicate app.iances. used for reaching the affected organs and treating them mildly with proper and patties remedial liquids, vapors and powders, as the case may require. Varied and well adapted ihstruments for removing obstacles from the throat were shown, and the separate use of each explained. One portion of the apparatus contains a reflected light atrong which shows the cavity of the throat, or by. which any cavity oan be seen, and treated successfully, and by the aid of mirrors the vocal organs are plainly viewed. During the visit Dr. Lighthill was able to illustrate very successfully by operations upon two patients who declared they had been much relieved by the treatment. It is evident that the doctor loves the study to which he has devoted thirty years of his life, and that he is one in whom every confidence can be placed, for he is cer tainly a scientific specialist, DR.
