If . the miners have not the legal right to . get rid of their refuse earth and . gravel by washing it into the streams! that drain the mining regions, then . it is clear that upon them devolves “the duty of impounding and: taking! care of that refuse._If they : ‘legal right, then the valleys affected ———by the debris-must take precautions against injury, and it will become a proper question whether the State shall continue to aid the work. The first thing to be done is to ascertain the legal rights of the miners. As the question will probably be carried to the appellate Courts, this will occupy cousiderable time. A final de___%erminstion of the poiné should be + i ' der favorably and not exceed ‘their legitimate powers. Section 4,046 of the Political Code, under the head of general and permanent powers of Boards of Sapervisors, says that Supervisors in their respective counties have jurisdiction and power ‘‘tomake * * * regulations for the protection of game, fish and shellfish * * *. When such regulations are made as provided in this section relating to game and fish, the lawa of the State for the protection thereof are suspended in that county.” “ The above was passed at the same time as the original game law. Subsequently a special law relating to the protection of game in Nevada county was also passed. This special law-and the-oe relating tothe powers of Supérvisors have never minute if it ever got a whack at it. over again, if any squabble arises, second-class counties was conceived in the Asssembly. The former bill was killed; while the, latter passed all right and is the one above quoted. . Nevada county is a first-class county, therefore would have nothing to do with that law for second-¢lass counties were it one which could be which it scannot. It* is special legislation, pure and unadulterated, and thé Supreme Court would sit down on it ina York euforced, So the taxpayers of Nevada City can proceed to make their deposits with Dan Collins or his gentlemanly Deputies the same as heretofore,and the. Transcriet and the Supreme } Court will see to it that the city don’t make them pay the amount ‘which is not probable, — een repealed, ‘and the question arises as to whether the new game law renders them inoperative, which . we do not, in spite of our respect for the Bee’s judgment on most subjects but ‘‘slickens,” believe is the case.

The injunction now put in force will, of course, work a great hardship on the mine-owners, and still more oft the men employed in the mines; but_ it will not. remain long it force, we presume, unless the Courts strongly incline to the legality of prohibition.” : The Transcript has, not at any time thought the Alta guilty of unfairness in its handling of the debris question, although we would not azree with it heretofore as to the advisability 6f abandoning the work begun under the direction of the Drainage Commission of this District, We have believed all: along, and still believe, the damming system faithfully and honestly carried out offers the only hope for the salvation of the valleys, regardless of the outcome of the present suits.

The local papers there appeared somewhat surprised at the disclosure, but not being prepared to verify or deny it said they would make an investigation.

A Boy's Opinion. aa boy being asked to express «his opinion on the subject of girls, wrote . the followingeomposition: = Girls are the most unaccountable beings in the world, except -women, Like the wicked fleas, when you have them they ain’tthere. I can cipher clean over to: improper fractions, and the teacher says [ do it first rate, but I can’t cipher out a girl either proper or improper, and you can’teither. Theonly rule’ in the arithmetic that hits their case is that double rule of two. They are as full of the Old Nick as ther sins can hold, and they'd ie ifth y couldn't torment somebody. When they tryto-be mean they are as mean as parsley, though they ain't ‘#0 mean as they let-on to be, except sometimes, and then they are a great deal meaner, The only way to get along with a girl when she comes with her nonsense is to give her tit for tat, and that will flummuxher. When you get a girl flummuxed she is as nice as & new pie. A girl can sow more wild oats in a day than a boycan im a year, but girls get their wild oats sowed after awhile, and then they settle down as calm as a mud puddle.

The first thing to be done is to ascertain the legal rights of the miners. As the question will probably be carried to the appellate Courts, this will occupy cousiderable time. A final de___%erminstion of the poiné should be + i ' der favorably and not exceed ‘their legitimate powers. Section 4,046 of the Political Code, under the head of general and permanent powers of Boards of Sapervisors, says that Supervisors in their respective counties have jurisdiction and power ‘‘tomake * * * regulations for the protection of game, fish and shellfish * * *. When such regulations are made as provided in this section relating to game and fish, the lawa of the State for the protection thereof are suspended in that county.” “ The above was passed at the same time as the original game law. Subsequently a special law relating to the protection of game in Nevada county was also passed. This special law-and the-oe relating tothe powers of Supérvisors have never minute if it ever got a whack at it. over again, if any squabble arises, second-class counties was conceived in the Asssembly.

Theonly rule’ in the arithmetic that hits their case is that double rule of two. They are as full of the Old Nick as ther sins can hold, and they'd ie ifth y couldn't torment somebody. When they tryto-be mean they are as mean as parsley, though they ain't ‘#0 mean as they let-on to be, except sometimes, and then they are a great deal meaner, The only way to get along with a girl when she comes with her nonsense is to give her tit for tat, and that will flummuxher. When you get a girl flummuxed she is as nice as & new pie. A girl can sow more wild oats in a day than a boycan im a year, but girls get their wild oats sowed after awhile, and then they settle down as calm as a mud puddle.
