In March, 1883, the State Board of Equalization addressed'a circular to the assessors of the several counties, ‘‘for the purpose thereby to incite them to,a more faithful discharge of their duties, both in respect to discovering and assessing property which heretofore had escaped assessment, and also to the assessment of al! property at its full cash value.” The circular contained the following’ mandatory remarks : “The assessment of property below its full cash value must cease. It is the firm purpose of this. Board, so far as it lies in its power, to-effect a just, equal, and full cash-value assessment of property, and where any Assessor has not performed his duty, and has under-assessed the property of his county, the Board will unhesitatingly exercjse the~ power conferred by the Constitution, and increase the total assessment of the county.” Another circular, dated February 20th, last, which has just been forwarded to Assessors, repeats these instructions, The position of county assessors in their attitude toward the public is thus unequivocally established.

Notwithstanding the Sawyer decision at first was a surprise to the miners throughout California and they felt’ somewhat discouraged for atime, yet now they are feeling hopeful and confident; and the rich mining proprietors about Gold Run and Dutch Flat, he believes, will yet furnish their millions for the commercial uses of our: growing country. >_< Correspondence tnvited.

San Franct-co, Marth 5, 1884, Eprior Transcript: In a recent issue of your paper I read an account of a meoting held at North Bluomfield, where resolutions were adopted. asking the Board of Sapervisors of your county to make an appropriation asa contribution to the expense of an appeal of ‘the Woodruff case. It is to be hoped that Sierra and Placer counties will follow this example, as they are likewise affected by Sawyer’s decree,’ The defendant companies are not ina position to Perfect an appeal without aid from the mining counties. Qur enemies have set us thé example of appropriations from their county treasuries. The total amount appropriated by Yuba, Sutter, Colusa and Sacramento will, I am informed, aggreyate $16,000. The enjoined companies are socrippled that it is doubtful whether they can raise the necessary funds for an appeal. The Bloomfield, notwithstanding its large pro‘duction of last year (nearly $500,000), has a large amount of outstanding bonds which -must be re‘deemed. The Milton Company lost their water supply carly in the sea-son by the malicious destruction of the English dam—which not only prevented them from realizing their usual gold product, but subjected them to claims for damages, many of which have been compromised at greatoutlay. The Manzanita and Sailor Flat companies have labored under great disadvantages pendiog the litigation in the Circuit Court. The Excelsior is not able to assist and the Omega-has not much ground left. The payment of the vill of costs alone taxed against them in the Woodruff case will under present circumstances strain their resources. Hence the necessity of manot only by the Boards of Supervisors, but by ditch owners, mine owners and business men, In the present condition of affairs the working miners.are no longer in a condition to contribute, for, like Othello, “their occupation is gone,” Ex-NEVADAN, a a ee The Storm. A heavy snow storm fell here yesterday by way of variety, and although most of the ‘‘white ‘mantle” quickly melted from the ground_in the valley where the city, is the sur-. rounding hills loom up in unspotted white. The raingauge at the South Yuba office showed a precipitation of .68 of an inch for the 24 hours ending at 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon, which gives 4.68 inches for the storm anda total of 33.19 forthe season, Weather sharps say the end is not yet. .

May I}* ask where this liberal concern holds forth 2?” : “Certainly, sir; certainly, Titusville, Pa, sir, You see the. gas comes out of a hole in. the ground, and costs the company nary a cent.

Notwithstanding the Sawyer decision at first was a surprise to the miners throughout California and they felt’ somewhat discouraged for atime, yet now they are feeling hopeful and confident; and the rich mining proprietors about Gold Run and Dutch Flat, he believes, will yet furnish their millions for the commercial uses of our: growing country. >_< Correspondence tnvited.

The construction of the wag: on road [from Grass Valley to Sav Juan], as has been surmised, has no connection with this change in the railroad, -but is an enterprise of the citizens to make a good road counection from Grass Valley to the upper country, by which to secure a share of the freighting and travel which a road of easy giades will be certain to obtain.” :

San Franct-co, Marth 5, 1884, Eprior Transcript: In a recent issue of your paper I read an account of a meoting held at North Bluomfield, where resolutions were adopted. asking the Board of Sapervisors of your county to make an appropriation asa contribution to the expense of an appeal of ‘the Woodruff case. It is to be hoped that Sierra and Placer counties will follow this example, as they are likewise affected by Sawyer’s decree,’ The defendant companies are not ina position to Perfect an appeal without aid from the mining counties. Qur enemies have set us thé example of appropriations from their county treasuries. The total amount appropriated by Yuba, Sutter, Colusa and Sacramento will, I am informed, aggreyate $16,000. The enjoined companies are socrippled that it is doubtful whether they can raise the necessary funds for an appeal. The Bloomfield, notwithstanding its large pro‘duction of last year (nearly $500,000), has a large amount of outstanding bonds which -must be re‘deemed. The Milton Company lost their water supply carly in the sea-son by the malicious destruction of the English dam—which not only prevented them from realizing their usual gold product, but subjected them to claims for damages, many of which have been compromised at greatoutlay. The Manzanita and Sailor Flat companies have labored under great disadvantages pendiog the litigation in the Circuit Court. The Excelsior is not able to assist and the Omega-has not much ground left. The payment of the vill of costs alone taxed against them in the Woodruff case will under present circumstances strain their resources. Hence the necessity of manot only by the Boards of Supervisors, but by ditch owners, mine owners and business men, In the present condition of affairs the working miners.are no longer in a condition to contribute, for, like Othello, “their occupation is gone,” Ex-NEVADAN, a a ee The Storm.
