The Daily Transcript, NEVADA CITY, CALIFORNIA, —— WEDNESDAY, JUNE 9, 1869. Spe! SE SS Se 2 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~ dred dollars cach. . 3. In the counties of Mariposa, Mer~ ced, Plumas, Shasta, Siskiyou and Stanislaus, the sum of eight hundred dol~ lars each. 4.

MASONIC CELEBRATION.—A Masonic celebration will take place at Downieville, on the 24th of June. Judge Caswell, of this‘city, has accepted an invitation to deliver the oration on the occasion. a MAPLE SuGaR.—Shurtleff & Trish liave received from the East a large stock of splendid maple sugar direct. from the maple groves of the East. Al) 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. — We call attention of the Union press It is foundson + 42,000 acres. foot a ton and a half of rock is taken out. 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. ~~ "FHE JAPANESE SILK RaAisers.— Schnell & Bennetts, agents for the Japanese silk culturists, have purchased a ranch near Gold Hill, El Dorade county, paying $5,000 therefor. They express themselves highly pleased with‘ the loedtion for silk and tea culture. Théy design increasing their ranch to Deap.—William H. Fall, son of John C. Fall, formerly of Marysville, died of consumption last Tuesday evening, in Los Angeles, after a long illness. The deceased was well known all over the State, and at one time owned a large pack train running over the Sierra
Nevada. InJURED,—At White Pine, Nevada, lately, while Frank A. Martin was attempting to-start upa team of horses, he was kicked in the fage by one of the procure some of this sugar.
