Sas The , Daily Transcript “Thursday. gee 8, vai ‘Nevada County ne Gauge J Railroad Company. On Tuesday last the stockholders of the Nevada County Nartow Gauge “Railroad met at Grass Valley” The meeting went off with the usual deThe Union says: The men present were splendid reprerentatives of the enterprising, spirits of Nevada eounty. The fitst _ Dasiness in order was the election of seven Directors for the Company. A ballot was held which resulted in the choice of John ©. Coleman; E. Coleman; Jas~M. Lakenan and Wm.) Watt of Grass Valley, and Niles Searle,.?. W. Sigourney and R. W, _Tully,.of Nevada City, as Direetors. The gentlemen chosen as Directors are the same who have acted in that capacity fromthe first. After the election of Directors a. proposition from the stockholders was offered, . whieh advised thet the Dizestors+to-foree“the @hinamen out oF the om stestetie-thewaliding of this: kind should not enforce any forfeitureon account of delays in completing the road, against Mr. J. K, Byrne, the Contractor, The proposition was embodied in a resolution by Mr.» M. P. O'Connor, “which was carried unanimously,. A’ proposition was passed to the effect that all stock sold as delinquent. for assessments Nos. 9 and 10, ‘should be allowed to be redeemed by the owners of said stock, or their assigns, op the payment of the amounts for which said stock was delinquent and five per cont additional on said’ delinquent amount, the payment to be made within ten days. The five per cent was demanded im order to cover expenses of sale and other expenses ‘in the matter, On motion of Mr. M. P.O'Connor, the thanks of the Stockholders were tendered to: tha Directors, and the motion was carried with applause. — Since the: success of Sar Narrow of road im various parts of the State is being agitated. The pith ofthe: whole of tho railroad-matter is correct=' ly and lucidly described by the Stockton Herald, which we publish, showing exactly what was done hore; and what might be accomplished: elsewhere if men are wnitedi:and determined to go dhead. ‘The Heral@ says: ; The completion of the Nevada County Narrow-Gauge Railroad is an event of which that county may justly be proud, and one which other counties may profitably look at as’ __an example to follow, For the last “ten years a railroad has been considered a necessity to the permnence of the mining industries. of that county, but until less than three years ago it seemed impossible to careselond that county, carried no,subsidy but only'the privilege of building’. with their own meats. Fora month the road has been in active operation two-thirds of its length, to the beavtiful: village of 4 Grass Valloy,.and the redeipts have been sufficient to pay expenses, interest on the investment and a small dividend. The enterprise is. proving more renunerative than.was expected by its projectors, and it thoroughly proves the utility of natrowgaugeroads*for developing such a country as ours, They asked for no outside aid, took in no outside partners, It is a*home made road, and presents-an example from which the projeetors of the Stockton and Ione-¢an perhaps draw useful information. . Hostilities . Commenced, : A large seoret.anti-Chinese meet‘ing was held at Carson City on Monday last, No one was allowed to enter unless he signified his intention ‘to -become-# member—of-the—anti=} Chinese: League. Determined. resolations.were passed by the meeting the work through. They asked for. Over a Thousand Shots a Minute. The history of the Gatling. gun is familiar to all, buta sfck company . is now being organized in Indianapmarkets of the worl’ military machine that is capable of firing over a thousand shots per minute, and can sweep a field from right to’ left or tion of the carriage shifted: There are six barrels (as with the Gatling gun) but they revolve and are discharged by. the turning of a crank .which propels the hammer.

Early on Tues day morning the mob, numbering, about 200; armed with pistols, clisbs and knives, were scattered along the line of the Truckee Railroad, but the Chinamen did not come out to work, and after waiting until after 8 a. m. they marched into Carson, A few minutes elapsed, when they ‘again concentrated their forces and marchéd out to the Lumber Company’s flume, and drove out the Chinamen who were at work there, The Sheriff deputized citizens to assist in arresting the ‘leaders ‘when they returned totown. Large crowds were in the streets discussing the course the mph was. pursuing, and waiting their return, but they got information of. the Sheriff's determination -to-arrest the leaders, and they switéhed off and marched in the direction “\of Empire, where it is understood they will increase their numbers and return. Afterwards the mob discoveved.a ballast train runuing up the Railroad, containing about — fifty Chinamen,and they made them scatter for their lives. The Reno Gazette, . in speaking ofthe mob, says: “We are not imfavor of the Chinese, but we are emphatically in favor of justice. "And we fail to see why the Chinaman has not rights as well as those of other nationalities, We are -willing to ensure all their rights,and we are also heartily in favor of guaranteeing them punishment when ‘they disobey the laws, That man. _who takes advantage of. power to in. jure an unprotected foreigner is: not quite. as good as the Chinaman whom he persecutes. We have laws; let them be enforeed against white as well as yellow.”* secure one; After“ much “agitation . by the local. papers, and when the project was almost forgotten, the Nevada Zhenseript, on its own authority, salled a meeting of the business men of Nevada county to take the matter into consideration, A few assembled notwithstanding « furious storn. This. meeting called another which was-more largely attended, The importance of the enterprise was fully discussed, aud u committee of six of the leadiag men of the county was appoinied to draught a bill for the Legislature of 73.and ’74, The bill passed nobwithstanding the strong anti-railroad feeling, Its provisions allowed ten cents per mile for passengers and twenty cents per ton for freight for all distances more than seven niles, for distanees.less than seven miles, an addition of twenty-five per cent. eould be made to the freight.
