The Nevada Land and Cattle mpanydemonstrating the practicability of storing water for irrigating ‘ It has built a rock'dam in a narrow defile of the hills which fills a basin of 2,000 acres to an average depth of thirteen feet, containing about 8,constructed during this year about 28 miles of irrigating ditches, the main canal having a capacity of about 25,000,000 gallons in 24 hours, has a thousand acres of alfalfa growing vigorously, besides grain — tables, and * engaged in -raising on a large scale. The capacity of this reser-. voiris sufficient to put twelve inches of water annually on 26,000 sres of land. That might not be ient artificial supply on-new ground unless assis by a considerable rainfall, but it has been discovered by the cOMmpany that on land irrigated last season, water or moisture now stands within a few feet of the surface, where it was never before found at less than eight or ten feet, establishing the fact which has been already observed in Southern California and the San Joaquin Valley, that the does not require so much _ surface water to produce crops. The'company is converting arid sage rush plains into grain-fields by its enterprise, and showing the citizens of Nevada the way toa better prosperity than they have enjoyed in the past flush mining days. : The foregoing editorial from the San Francisco Bulletin’ of May 29th illustrates the narrow mindedness of the San Francisco papers and people. When Judge Sawyer in the North Bloomfield. case said that dams for restraining Aailings were dangerous and a menace to everybody below, the Bulletin, the Call, the Chronicle, and the anti-hydraulic lesser lights throughout the State, cried as if with one voice, ‘“‘Amen.”’ When Sawyer referred to the English dam, and the havoc it created among the China wheels down on the Yuba, he” must have thought that that dam was filled with slickens, and none of his worshippers appear to have been any wiser thanthe learned Judge. Now for the information of the Judge and the grangers generally, . we will state as a fact that the English dam’ referred to was filled with ice cold snow water, clear as crystal; but_it was intended by the owners to make slickens with, hence the great danger of ‘‘storage dams.”’ Had it been intended to water old Hayseed’s hog ranch, it would never have brokPen— never, never! Or, if it had given away it would have done no harm. A few China pumps destroyed, one or two small bridges swept away; 4a few Chinamen drowned and swept down the stream to clog the suction. pipes of the” Marysville and Sacramento water works, and nothing more. This is the difference between water for mining and water for farmBut dams for water and dams for slickens also differ. A dam for ‘water gives away, and the effect (when the water is to be used for mining) is illustrated by the English dam, but had that dam been filled with slickens it would not have broken; or, —if it had, there would have been no torrent to scare Judge Sawyer or anybody else. To prove the last assertion, go up to the Hathaway Hydraulic G. M. Co. claims at Washington, this county. Several years since this company built a -dam in Scotchman’s Creek. The dam was about 75 feet high, and all tailings from the @mega Company’s hydraulic mines were dumped above it. It was several years before it became filled. When filled, the Hathaway company cut their dam away, expecting the tailing to run out, not with a rush as Judge Sawyer would anticipate, but quite rapidly so that in a year or two at mostthe debris would all run out and leave the concentrated gold and quicksilver, giving large returns for small labor. In this they were disappointed. They found that the pipe-clay and the sand and the gravel had become so mixed that it was more solid and immoyable than when in the original banks of the Omega mining company. For several years the Hathaway company have been hydraulicking and sluicing and blasting from the accumulated tailings, :and still they are not half removed. The Omega company were ten years hydraulicking the dam full, and now from all appearances it will take the Hathaway company at least ten fyears to hydraulic them empty again. . Still. Judge Sawyer and the Yuba county hogs insist that ‘Testraining dams are a. menace to everyone below them. ~ a ee Koom for Rent. © tocracry Hill, for lady or gentleaman.

Supreme Judges Admonished to Listen to the People’s Voice, or Step Down. . We print today extracts from three of the San Francisco papers —the Chronicle, Examiner and Alta, which show the present condition of the Virrigation movement. asi The State convention of the antiriparianists, which fairly represented the wealth and intelligence of the San Joaquin Valley and Southern California, presented a respectful petition to the Supreme Judges, as our readers know, asking that the case in which the irrigation problem was involved might be reheard. In the shortest time possible the Judges answer the petition by denying the pending motion for a new trial. This fact shouldbe kept in mind in reading the editorials w hich we give. The city papers have shown a keen appreciation of the importance of thismovement:This year two Judges will have to be elected to succed Myrick and McKee, and if Judge Ross _perseveres in resigning, as he has. declared he will ;do as soon as his suicessor can be elected, there Myrick was right on the riparian question, and he can safely be renominatec. Ross was also right, and if he resigns, care will have to be taken to replace him with.a man who is equally sound. McKee voted t6 apply the rules of a humid country like England to an arid country like California. The agriculturists of Southern California must see to it that he is succeeded by a Judge who can apply the dictates of common sense as well as the technical rules of law to legal controversies. * * * The people of the southern counties should experience no difficulty in effecting the desired change. There is_no division of opinion on the question of irrigation; Democrats and Republicans can easily combine on a candidate to succeed McKee, and if they choose a suitable man, the rest of the State will acquiesce, and will make. no nomination against him.—S. F. Chronicle, May 29. \ One incident of an elective judiciary is the necessary approximation of the Court and the people toward agreement upon legal propositions which involve great material interests. The Chronicle suggests this fact as a solution of the present situation respecting irrigation and riparian rigiits. The coming election permits this process of agreement to be freely operated, in the case of the Judges whose tenure expires. But one Judge, it is understood, will resign, for Judge Ross has only withheld that.intention to permit the election of his successor by the people, his reason being the notorious insufficiency of the judicial salary. Ifthe whole bench were , vacated by resignation the operation of putting the Court at one with public sentiment would be greatly simplified. There have been occasions when the most delyicate sense. of judicial propriety dictated just such action to secure just such result, since a service becomes finally intolerable, that is for along time concurrent with view, it might come to be regarded even by themselves as a misfortune that three of the Justices, whose conscientiously entertained views of the law are counter to the interests of a majority of the people, have yet many years to serve. Ofcourse the bench will be so changed as to reverse majorities on many questions long before their terms expire, so that the question is one worthy of consideration from the standpoint of their personal comfort merely.—S. F. Alta, May 30. The suggestion that Justices McKinney, Sharpstein, Thornton and McKee, who hold opinions so antiquated and at variance with common sense as to believe that a custom in England nine centuries ago, and which was in conflict with neither social nor agricultural interests, by reason of the physical and climatic conditions of that country, ought to prevail in California, where reason, common sense and public interests, civilization and progressive industry assail it, ought to resign and give place to men of more enlightened judgment and a better appreciation of the necessities of the country, will meet with general indorsement. They are outof place on the Supreme Bench of this State. They belong to another age and country. They run in a groove with the meal-bag man and the horseback traveler. Their learniny comes by rote, and to analyze a principle and apply it to logical conditions seems to be as far beyond them as are the mysteries of the locomotive to the savage and barbarian. Their eyes are blinded with the dust of forgotten centuries. They ought to get out of the way for men of the living age.—S. F. Examiner, May 31. A Disgraceful Neighborhood. A half-nude, female leaning from a window of the tenement house atthe corner of Pine and‘Commercial streets, was the obse.-ved of -all observers yesterday forenoon. The low women occupying the buildings in that vicinity have become unusually offensive in their actions of late, andif théy do not quit making such a pnblic parade citizens whose wives and children . have to pass through that nasty quarter of the city in going to and from their homes and the public, schools may také it ‘into their heads to try the “‘sluicing out plan” of abating the nuisance.

The Sacramento Bee of Tuesday has the following: A gang of patent medicine men have held forth on Fourth street, between J and K, du ring the last two nights. Last evening one of them captured and held the crowd by a very cute trick. In awagon near him the ‘*boy gladiator,” as he styles himself, harangued the assemblage alternately with the ‘‘medicine man,’”’ in whose employ he evidently is. The ‘‘boy, gladiator,” is a nobbily-dressed, rattlebrained young colored man, who preaches religion but atuses the churches and the ministers. He hired the Clunie Opera house here for two nights recently with money obtained by pawning a watch. He sent out-three-hundred invitations the first night, which read: You are cordially invited to witness the Great Bible Drama in two acts. Itis a drama and not a drama;a lecture and not a lecture. What is it? An enigma. If you cannot attend, give this ticket to a church member, or an agnostic who will attend. Respectfully, R. V. P. Chamberlain, the Boy Gladiator, viz: the young combatant against modern religion with the sword of the Spirit.— Eph. vi:17. The audience did not: assemble, so the gladiator went upon the street and now divides time with proud to ask for quarters and give than én one is tussed from a neighboring balcony. A few days ago in the Police Court the case of Henry A. Caulfield,who was arrested for disturbing the peace, was called and continued. One of the witnessess was the “boy gladiator,’”? who while the disturbance was in progress ran to astore a block away, purchased a 25-cent police whistle and was evidently disappointed over an arrest. being made before the whistle was used. The witness when he appeared in Court was dudishly dressed. It was necessary to continue the ‘trial of the case for a week or two and the Court so announced. The ‘‘boy gladiator’? was ready to make a speech, Throwing himself into a striking attitude, he shouted forth : “Your honor, my time is valuable. Butas this is a‘murder case I'll be here and——”’ = Just then Henry A. Caulfield, muttered: ‘‘Well, begorra, an’ it would be a murther case if that thing were to be around me long.” There was a general laugh, and when the Court ordered-quiet the “boy gladiator’ sank into a seat. _ome A Miner ‘‘stood Up.’’ Day before yesterday as S. O. Pease was returning to this city from a prospecting tour in the wilds of Shasta, and was traveling through Pleasant Valley, he came upon four suspicious looking individuals who were enjoying themselves around a campfire in the shadow of a tree, while near them stood horses, wagon and” a dog. He accosted them pleasantly when they sharply commanded him to throw up his lhands-and surrender his valuables,. which consisted principally of a prospector’s outfit, He was taken into camp, when his captors suddenly recognized him asan old acquaintance and invited him toshare their humble fare. They did not deprive him of any of his personal effects. His description of the suspicious quartette is said by the officers to exactly fit Captain Rapp, John Bacigalupi, Con. Seaman and Mark Shaeffer, who have béen down that way dove and snipe hunting, and returned yesterday with a whole wagon load of birds. The Sun mer Campaign. ‘‘Where can I get the best clothing for the least money?” is a query that frequently arises in every clear-headed man’s mind. It is not generally difficult to arrive at acorrect answer, if one goes about it rightly. In the first place, look over the leading newspaper of your community and see what the Various dealers have. to say for themselves. Then go and visit their stores to ascertain ifthey ‘practice what they preach.” If they do, you can at once make up your minds that they are good men to deal with. You can get better bargains from an enterprising and borest dealer than from any other kind.

A splendid audience greeted the San Francisco minstrels on the occasion of their appearance at this city Tuesday evening, and felt more than well repaid for being there. The performance was With all the load of years heaped upon their devoted heads, rare old Ben Cottonyand Billy Birch from ‘‘’Way Back’’ have lost none of the power to amuse that won for them so many years ago the reputation of being the princes of burnt cork comicalities. . Dick Jose, the Cornish lad with the falsetto tenor voice that is universally’ acknowledged to be the Sweetest ever exhibited on the coast by any man, sang as only he can sing: “Hush-a-bye baby, in the tree-top, When tie bongs cesar ie cradle will tall, And down, wil: come Rock-a-bye Baby no Jose is a nephew to.a soda water maker at Reno, Nevada, and lived there several years, winning a local fame by singing at home entertainments. Two years age Bob Morrow, who had taken an interest in the lad (he is now about 20) sent him to San Francisco to have his voice trained. He. yot homesick inside of a fortnight and went ‘back to Reno, swearing he would not again leave home. A few months ago the Charley Reed minstrel troupe picked him up, brought him before the public, and in less than no time his reputation was made. The other members of the troupe are likewise eminent in their respective lines. There was not an indifferent performance in the whole proWashington Township Items. MayBErRt, May 31, 1886.

A dam for ‘water gives away, and the effect (when the water is to be used for mining) is illustrated by the English dam, but had that dam been filled with slickens it would not have broken; or, —if it had, there would have been no torrent to scare Judge Sawyer or anybody else. To prove the last assertion, go up to the Hathaway Hydraulic G. M. Co. claims at Washington, this county. Several years since this company built a -dam in Scotchman’s Creek. The dam was about 75 feet high, and all tailings from the @mega Company’s hydraulic mines were dumped above it. It was several years before it became filled. When filled, the Hathaway company cut their dam away, expecting the tailing to run out, not with a rush as Judge Sawyer would anticipate, but quite rapidly so that in a year or two at mostthe debris would all run out and leave the concentrated gold and quicksilver, giving large returns for small labor. In this they were disappointed. They found that the pipe-clay and the sand and the gravel had become so mixed that it was more solid and immoyable than when in the original banks of the Omega mining company. For several years the Hathaway company have been hydraulicking and sluicing and blasting from the accumulated tailings, :and still they are not half removed. The Omega company were ten years hydraulicking the dam full, and now from all appearances it will take the Hathaway company at least ten fyears to hydraulic them empty again. . Still. Judge Sawyer and the Yuba county hogs insist that ‘Testraining dams are a. menace to everyone below them. ~ a ee Koom for Rent. © tocracry Hill, for lady or gentleaman.

Supreme Judges Admonished to Listen to the People’s Voice, or Step Down. . We print today extracts from three of the San Francisco papers —the Chronicle, Examiner and Alta, which show the present condition of the Virrigation movement. asi The State convention of the antiriparianists, which fairly represented the wealth and intelligence of the San Joaquin Valley and Southern California, presented a respectful petition to the Supreme Judges, as our readers know, asking that the case in which the irrigation problem was involved might be reheard. In the shortest time possible the Judges answer the petition by denying the pending motion for a new trial. This fact shouldbe kept in mind in reading the editorials w hich we give. The city papers have shown a keen appreciation of the importance of thismovement:This year two Judges will have to be elected to succed Myrick and McKee, and if Judge Ross _perseveres in resigning, as he has. declared he will ;do as soon as his suicessor can be elected, there Myrick was right on the riparian question, and he can safely be renominatec. Ross was also right, and if he resigns, care will have to be taken to replace him with.a man who is equally sound. McKee voted t6 apply the rules of a humid country like England to an arid country like California. The agriculturists of Southern California must see to it that he is succeeded by a Judge who can apply the dictates of common sense as well as the technical rules of law to legal controversies. * * * The people of the southern counties should experience no difficulty in effecting the desired change. There is_no division of opinion on the question of irrigation; Democrats and Republicans can easily combine on a candidate to succeed McKee, and if they choose a suitable man, the rest of the State will acquiesce, and will make. no nomination against him.—S. F. Chronicle, May 29. \ One incident of an elective judiciary is the necessary approximation of the Court and the people toward agreement upon legal propositions which involve great material interests. The Chronicle suggests this fact as a solution of the present situation respecting irrigation and riparian rigiits. The coming election permits this process of agreement to be freely operated, in the case of the Judges whose tenure expires. But one Judge, it is understood, will resign, for Judge Ross has only withheld that.intention to permit the election of his successor by the people, his reason being the notorious insufficiency of the judicial salary. Ifthe whole bench were , vacated by resignation the operation of putting the Court at one with public sentiment would be greatly simplified. There have been occasions when the most delyicate sense. of judicial propriety dictated just such action to secure just such result, since a service becomes finally intolerable, that is for along time concurrent with view, it might come to be regarded even by themselves as a misfortune that three of the Justices, whose conscientiously entertained views of the law are counter to the interests of a majority of the people, have yet many years to serve. Ofcourse the bench will be so changed as to reverse majorities on many questions long before their terms expire, so that the question is one worthy of consideration from the standpoint of their personal comfort merely.—S. F. Alta, May 30. The suggestion that Justices McKinney, Sharpstein, Thornton and McKee, who hold opinions so antiquated and at variance with common sense as to believe that a custom in England nine centuries ago, and which was in conflict with neither social nor agricultural interests, by reason of the physical and climatic conditions of that country, ought to prevail in California, where reason, common sense and public interests, civilization and progressive industry assail it, ought to resign and give place to men of more enlightened judgment and a better appreciation of the necessities of the country, will meet with general indorsement. They are outof place on the Supreme Bench of this State. They belong to another age and country. They run in a groove with the meal-bag man and the horseback traveler. Their learniny comes by rote, and to analyze a principle and apply it to logical conditions seems to be as far beyond them as are the mysteries of the locomotive to the savage and barbarian. Their eyes are blinded with the dust of forgotten centuries. They ought to get out of the way for men of the living age.—S. F. Examiner, May 31. A Disgraceful Neighborhood.

The Sacramento Bee of Tuesday has the following: A gang of patent medicine men have held forth on Fourth street, between J and K, du ring the last two nights. Last evening one of them captured and held the crowd by a very cute trick. In awagon near him the ‘*boy gladiator,” as he styles himself, harangued the assemblage alternately with the ‘‘medicine man,’”’ in whose employ he evidently is. The ‘‘boy, gladiator,” is a nobbily-dressed, rattlebrained young colored man, who preaches religion but atuses the churches and the ministers. He hired the Clunie Opera house here for two nights recently with money obtained by pawning a watch. He sent out-three-hundred invitations the first night, which read: You are cordially invited to witness the Great Bible Drama in two acts. Itis a drama and not a drama;a lecture and not a lecture. What is it? An enigma. If you cannot attend, give this ticket to a church member, or an agnostic who will attend. Respectfully, R. V. P. Chamberlain, the Boy Gladiator, viz: the young combatant against modern religion with the sword of the Spirit.— Eph. vi:17. The audience did not: assemble,

so the gladiator went upon the street and now divides time with proud to ask for quarters and give than én one is tussed from a neighboring balcony. A few days ago in the Police Court the case of Henry A. Caulfield,who was arrested for disturbing the peace, was called and continued. One of the witnessess was the “boy gladiator,’”? who while the disturbance was in progress ran to astore a block away, purchased a 25-cent police whistle and was evidently disappointed over an arrest. being made before the whistle was used. The witness when he appeared in Court was dudishly dressed. It was necessary to continue the ‘trial of the case for a week or two and the Court so announced. The ‘‘boy gladiator’? was ready to make a speech, Throwing himself into a striking attitude, he shouted forth : “Your honor, my time is valuable. Butas this is a‘murder case I'll be here and——”’ = Just then Henry A. Caulfield, muttered: ‘‘Well, begorra, an’ it would be a murther case if that thing were to be around me long.” There was a general laugh, and when the Court ordered-quiet the “boy gladiator’ sank into a seat. _ome A Miner ‘‘stood Up.’’ Day before yesterday as S. O. Pease was returning to this city from a prospecting tour in the wilds of Shasta, and was traveling through Pleasant Valley, he came upon four suspicious looking individuals who were enjoying themselves around a campfire in the shadow of a tree, while near them stood horses, wagon and” a dog. He accosted them pleasantly when they sharply commanded him to throw up his lhands-and surrender his valuables,. which consisted principally of a prospector’s outfit, He was taken into camp, when his captors suddenly recognized him asan old acquaintance and invited him toshare their humble fare. They did not deprive him of any of his personal effects. His description of the suspicious quartette is said by the officers to exactly fit Captain Rapp, John Bacigalupi, Con. Seaman and Mark Shaeffer, who have béen down that way dove and snipe hunting, and returned yesterday with a whole wagon load of birds. The Sun mer Campaign. ‘‘Where can I get the best clothing for the least money?” is a query that frequently arises in every clear-headed man’s mind. It is not generally difficult to arrive at acorrect answer, if one goes about it rightly. In the first place, look over the leading newspaper of your community and see what the Various dealers have. to say for themselves. Then go and visit their stores to ascertain ifthey ‘practice what they preach.” If they do, you can at once make up your minds that they are good men to deal with. You can get better bargains from an enterprising and borest dealer than from any other kind. For example, no man in California sells. clothing, gentlemen’s furnishing goods, etc., any cheaper than does K. Casper, the pioneer dealer, at the corner of Broad and Pine streets, this eity.

A splendid audience greeted the San Francisco minstrels on the occasion of their appearance at this city Tuesday evening, and felt more than well repaid for being there. The performance was With all the load of years heaped upon their devoted heads, rare old Ben Cottonyand Billy Birch from ‘‘’Way Back’’ have lost none of the power to amuse that won for them so many years ago the reputation of being the princes of burnt cork comicalities. .

He. yot homesick inside of a fortnight and went ‘back to Reno, swearing he would not again leave home. A few months ago the Charley Reed minstrel troupe picked him up, brought him before the public, and in less than no time his reputation was made. The other members of the troupe are likewise eminent in their respective lines. There was not an indifferent performance in the whole proWashington Township Items. MayBErRt, May 31, 1886.

In mining matters there is little torecord, except that the Eagle Bird mine continues in a very rich body of quartz in its south drifts on the third and fourth levels. Sorich is it in these drifts that it brings the average of the whole mine to something over $30 per ton. Asthe expense of mining and milling ranges from $2.50 to $2.75 per ton, the margin for . dividends will be seen to be quite handsome. C. Sy Iwas troubled with Catarrh.
