Tue County CoLLEcToR.—It may
have been the intention of the Legisla_. ture to provide for the collection of .
~~ taxes in Nevada county by the County .
Treasurer, but they entirely failed to
make either the Treasurer or Sheriff
ex-officio Collector, as will be seen from
a reading of the law. The section of
. the “act to regulate salaries and fix
the compensation of certain county officers,” which it is claimed makes the
Treasurer ex-officio County Collector, is
found on. page 452, statutes of 1867-8
and reads as follows: S5Ee
» Sec. 8. County Treasurers shall re~
ceive salaries as follows :
1. In the counties of Alpine, Del
Norte, Klamath;-Lake, Lassen, Mono,
San Bernardino, Inyo and San Diego,
the sum of four hundred dollars.each.
. 2. In the counties of Fresno, Kern,
‘Santa Barbara, San Louis O , San
Mateo and Trinity; the sum of six hun~

it is thought his sight is not injured.

tors of taxes in their respective coun»
ties ; but for making such collections,
or for making out delinquent tax lists,
or performing any other other duty re~
quired of them by law, they shall re~
ceive no other compensation than is
preacribed in this section. :
We have inserted the figures at each
paragraph, showing the sub-divisions,
and by reference it will be seen that
Nevada county is not in the sixth,
seventh, or cighth aub~division, but 7s
in the fifth. The statute thus clearly
makes no provision for the collection of
revenue by the Treasurer, Let us look
at the provision relative to the duty of
Shoriff as tax collector.
page 45i, under section 7, and reads as
follows : ; '
And in the counties of Alpine, Amador, Calaveras, Colusa, Del Norte, Fresno, Humboldt, Inyo, Klamath, Kern,
dake, Lassen, Marin, Mariposa, Merced,
Mono, Monterey, Plumas, San Bernar“dino, San Diego, Santa Barbara, Santa
Cruz, San Luis Obispo, San Mateo,
Shasta; Sierra, Siskiyou, Stanislaus,
Sutter, Tehama, Trinity, Tulare, Tuolumno and Yolo, the Slieriff shall be exofficio collector of taxes.
Nevada county is evidently not included in this, and we do not believe
that the Legislature intended to abolish the office or change the salary of
that office. -By reference to the first
section quoted it will be seen that the
Treasurerof these cofinties, where he
is ex-officio County Collector, gets a sal~
ary of $2,500 in counties classed with
_, Alameda, and $3,000 in counties classed
with Santa Clara. It certainly could
not have been the intention of intelligent legislators to pay such salaries in
and the territory less, while in Nevada
the Treasurer is required to perform
more arduous duties tor $1,500.
Since no provision is made by the
new law, how does the matter stand?
The repeal clause of the salary, law,
page 455, section 24, reads :
All acts and parts of acts in conflict
with the provisions of this act are repealed, so far as they affect the provisions of this act, to take effect from’ the
first Monday of March, eighteen hundred and seventy, when tbis act shal)
go into operation. A
This clause certéinly is explicit
enough and effects former statutes only
so far as they-are affected by its provisions. ‘The old law relating to Collector, and fixing his salary is therefore
sti] im full force. The: counties of}.
‘Butte, Contra Costa, El Dorado, Los
Angeles, Mendocino, Placer and Yuba
are in the same class with Nevada. —

Minino ITEMs.—At Allison Ranch,
says the Grass Valley Union of Tuesday,
pumping is still the order of the day,
together with crushing the old dump
pile. The dump is paying well, and
soon we expect to hear of new ore
coming out of the old ranch. The company are putting: in a new separator,
invented by Major Hough, and itis
thought this machine will prove a success. It has some of the principles of
the buddle. :
Perrin’s-mine_is—a-notable one, being
the cheapéstwerked-mine in the district. The pumping and milling are
done-with water power, and very little
powder has yet been used in the mine,
the rock being easily picked. This
mine pays steadily a good profit.
At the Empire we saw a safe full of
rich specimens,and a platform on which
was piled a large amount of splendid
rock.. This mine has now aboutthirtyone hands at work, more having joined
the working force Monday morning.
The North Star is pumping to keep
the water free. We hope in a few days
to be able to say that it has started up
full handed.
THE First BAaRLEY.—The Marysville Appeal says: W. P. Harkey, one
of the most. enterprising farmers of
Sutter county, was the first to bring
new barley into this market. Harkey
came in yesterday with a load of
12,000 1bs., which sold at $150 per
hundred.

Schnell & Bennetts, agents for the
