Mining tn -* 2a The Mining awd Scientific ° says of hydraulic mining: With the perfection to which this method -of gold gathering has been brought, it stands now in the foremost rank of Press raat a Our Next Governor. i Califottia, the Stock Repert says .— We needa man at the helm who is of the people, a sturdy, independent, self-made man, whose éxperiencétRas comprehended the vicissitudes of a lomg and actiwe canéer inCalifornia. Such.a man is George C. Perkins. — He-was ‘born in Kennebunk Port, When about [2 years of age he ran away to sea and made several voyages as cabin boy .and sailor to. all our industriés, ‘a position it will ~ be able to hold-hereatter. .The depart. nent of the business does not, -howéver, offer avery wide field for investment, the unappropriated water’ at command being tnsufficent for any great increase of gravel washing. Properties furnished with water and containing material of the right kind, with good outlet and other favorable conditions, offer the very best openings for investment to be found in the entire range of mining enterprise, ° while those differently situated present few attractive features to-capital. Of our leading hydraulic companies it may be observed that the _ Nerth Bldomfield, the Milten and Eureka Lake companies, on the San Juan divide, are allrwnning to thetr fullest capacity and will.make large protits the present year. Ahout Quaker Hill, Little York, Dutch ¥lat and Gold Run, as many as 25 or 39 companir sare autively at work and will clean gold this The = Excelsior company at Smartsville are runuing off an immense quantity of graveb with fair returns, the exten. their main trunk diteh having been completed. “In Batte, Sierra, Plumas’. and :'Lrinity counties the hydraulic ~ doing extremely — well, claims there up season than ever before. more ‘sive repairs on mniners are some new . “having lately been brought into a productive condition, Along Slate creek and at La Porte there is mere gravel. washing being done than usual, while at Brandy City a very satisfactony state ef things is reported. ‘his extensive property has lately been put in good shape, some much-neeiled repairs on the ditches, flumes, ete., been effected. When the bedrock tunnel, now in progreas-there—with that projected and about to be comshall completion, . the production of this mine will be doubled, insuring for ita long and prosperous career, having meneeid, * reach Krom every hydraulic caunp on Forest ‘Hill divide We receive. good accounts — also choering news from minéseof Kl Dorado and Amaider. Quartz mining in California is making headway froin one end ef the State to the other. -Indeed, of. this. business it may be said that it was never in a more prosperous or promising than . at present. Drift mining is also making good rethe hydraulic condition turns and undergoing steady expansion, new shafts and tunnels being started, and those already under w pushed ahead all over the State. . Wing-damming will, be undertaken . at asyood many points along the California rivers this summer, a some of the dredging schetnes before augurated be again revived as as the water reaches a low stage. ins00n an name > SD Spe = The Saw Anita Mine. The San Anita quartz claim is~en the north side of Poorman’s creek, about six miles from Eureka, and belongs to Dr. Sprague & Co., af § Franciseo. Thomas Me(G hice. one of the owners, has just been investiga. . ting its prospects. He finds the ledge to be about nine feet thick, and of good ore, It has been previously prospected by a shaft and tunnel — He will :eturn to San Francisco today ‘and take steps to have mayhine. ry erected on the claim before; snow fila again, so that its development may ‘be’ pushed ahead with rapidity. Mr. McGlew has been epgaged in mining enterprises all over the coast for a quarter of a century past, and now states that in his opinion our section offers better inducements to operators than any other. He refers to many latge ledges that have never been worked, but which assay suiti--ciently high to warrant their development profitable. He says that aapitalists are beginning to realize this fact, and that the most sangvine of the people here’ will be surprised at the extent and number of mines saccessfully opened within the next tive yoare, Se mote it be, Mes SSS A ee £9 Jefferson Davis’ health is imnroving. Thix the Hawkeye thinks is jost wh -° one ev aleh gets the start * of Jefferson, an -he is still associated, . parts of the world. In’ 1855 he came te this Stateas a saibor, Leaving the ship he wént into the interior and settled in Butte county, near Oroville. Aiére he engaged in farraing and mining, and= became a-clerk, partner, and finally sole-owner of a store in that place. He stall eontinued his farming, and while in Oroville-built two flouring mills, which he run for-several years. About 1870 he was elected.to thé State Senate from the district which Butte connty. furmsa part. He served two years in the Senate and won golden. opinions from his associates and constituency. He was known as a ‘brainy He fought his own battles and did his oWn thinking. In, 1873 he became a member of the firm of Goodall, Nelson & Perkins, man, with which This. firm has since become thie Pacific Coast Steam: ship Company. It is an-wnincorported rival’ of.;the Southern -Pacific Rattroad Company inthe transportation busivess, Mr. Perkias is a man uf fine presence. He has a strong, well-knit frame, an intellectual face and winning mannere. His recerd is without a blemish, and. country and eity will alike rally to his support. We believe that Mr. Perkins will make one of the best Governors the State of California has éver known: He is competent to discriminate between right and wrong. He will use his discrimination,and, having marked out the true course, he will»do right in spite of personal ‘feeling or party dictation. Se Returned from RECTRRRCES. I. J. Rolfe, Sacramento where he had been. spending the . week as one of Nevada county's delThursday ev cning Fisq., retuined from . egates to the Republican State Convention, Speaking of fhe Convention, he says that never within the . history of California has a more har: met. Not an incident . transpired to jeopardize the interests . of the party by ‘creating turmoil within the ranks. The varieus.delnaturally’ used all honest means te secure the nomination of their respectivé friends. Still, when the votes Were counted, no matter who received the largest number, the issue was invariably accepted with a cheerfulnesa that was highly creditable. monious one egates The delegates were toa man sensible, practical and intellisent, and were conceded to constitute a’body Whose work could be accepted as having best advantage. Mr, Rolfe’ ‘thinks the entire ticket will be elected by an overwhelming majority, and puts forth substantial reasons for se belieying. The remainder of the Nevada county delegates are expected . to return Rome this evening. alien cal ~:~ Meant What She Said, A good atory has just leaked out, . atter a Rip Van Winkle sleep of two weeks. We will tell it, and the reader must decide who the joke is on, At the conclusion of one of the Re-union concerts, a fair damsel of this city was examining the curious ‘‘xylophone” which Alex, Kidd, Jr., had just been poun ling ‘such chartitig s music, from She went into eestacies over the ttovelty and simplicity of its construction, and her admiration found expression im Such terms as “awfully elegant,” “terribly queer,” ete, Suddenly she turned to the performer and said, “The music is exquisite.” «Ah, I thank you, mias, for the eompliment,” replied Mr. Kidd; looking quite flustrated, but Withal much pleased as he gazed full in the eyes of the speaker. She looked at him & moment in_an apparently perplexel manner, then suddenly aulded naively, ‘But I did not intend it for you, sir, It-was the xylophone I was referring to.” The musician's facial contortions for the next ‘five minutes were indescribable, , a #,000;000 baskets of peaches this year.

The petition for the “construction of a street “from Main to Broad streets, came up for consideration and .was laid on the table, as the Gity Treasury was not in a condition to permit of purchasingthe property. A. petition signed by 48 citmens was submitted in favor of putting the street through, and one by 58 opposing it. The latter petition was signed by anumber of parties who signed thefirst. It is claimed by many that the street would benefit but a few people. It was finally deoded by bof the street's construction, and report ata special meeting to be held Thursday night. Chas. ‘Kent, H. .Hyman‘and J. Naffziger appearéd before the Board asking the City to subscribe $100 to the 4th of-July Fund.
