The grape vine telegram received at Coifax Friday morning announcing that Sullivan had knocked Robinson out in the third round of the slogging match which took. place at San Francisco the night before, was not strictly correct. Robinson acted like a cur from the first, dropping to the floor every time the champion made a motion towards him, and thus avoided being struck with the pillow-like gloves. He did not strike a blow, and fell nearly sixty times to avoid being hit. In the fourth round the “‘fight” was awarded to Sullivan on the ground that the cowardly San Franciscan went down without even being struck at.

Yours respectfully, . Six TaXPaYERs. ter & Crawford’s, Main street. 3t ip pleasure that we write of Robert S. Ammén, the proprietor of the famous Ammen’s Congh Syrup. Mr. Ammen is a thorough business man, ‘and ‘has reduced the’ advertising of his ‘medicines ‘to an exact science. . He believes that his Cough Syrup is. “}'a public benefit, and advertises it in’ evening at 7 o'slock. ou Mes, Row e ‘of the most frompt n the country. — t bsg pater had abandoned the use of ‘water . : eee (iedhititnd oc Rubber Circulars at greatly reduced prices, at Mrs, LesIn is seldom we speak éditorially of a business man, bug, it is) with _ STREET Repares, oh to the Subject. _ Eptrore: Transonter:—In your’ isatt of thier 7th instant, T'notice the ollowing’' item: “A> resident on Broad street says that thoroughfare needs repairing very. .much between the junction of York street and the Methodist Church. He saya that in storms like the present one it is ‘alimpassable, as the water does ran off readily.” I am led to be© that the aaid resident on Broad street, owner probably of a lot fronting thereon, isnot acquainted with the working of the charter in regard to streotejas interpreted now-a-days; so I will try to enlighten him on that point, Section 19 of our: charter, which was lately published.in full in the chiens of-the TRaNsuRieT, says: “To the public: strecta laid. out . by lawful authority, open and graded within the limits of said city, or which shall hereafter be laid out, opened and graded, as: provided io this Act, the paving, planking, ‘draining and repairs of every kind, shall be assessed upon, and done at the equal expense of the adjacent lots on each side of said streets, etc.” Thus will the ‘‘resident on Broad strent” see ata glance that if he ‘wants to have that portion of our great thoroughfare, from YoR@ street to the Methodist Church, repaired, drained and graveled, allhe has to do is to apply to the Board of Trustees to-order the “necessary repairs; he, said resident, and the other property owners fronting on that street, having to pay for every cent of such improvements. . Under the new Municipal bill, the city is authorized to spend as much as $100 a year on any and each street, or order the work to be done by. the property owners fronting on skid streets, or. do the necessary repairs at both the city and property owners’ expenses, the share of the city, however, not being allowed to exceed $100 per year on one single street. But under the ‘old charter, carried ont to the letter, the whole expense has to be borne by the property fronting on the street where “repairs of any kind” are ordered to beidone. The only kind of improvement and repairs that the Trustees have a legal right to order at the expeuse of the City, it seems, being on, squares.and crossings, parks and bridges, That that part of Broad street, from the junction of York street to the Methodist Church needs _repairing of the worst kind, is admitted by every one, especially by the traveling public; but the expense of filling with rock that portion of our great thoroughfare, so as to raise the . crown toa proper hight, isa costly jo and Mr. Casper, who has had experience in that line, figured, if I aM oCurrevy, tks sach jut woulin,t cost less than from $500 to $600. The question. is therefore narrowed. to this: is the Board of Trustees willing to order such an improvementto be done; and is the property fronting on that portion of the street ready to foot the bill? So is it with all our other thoroughfares (Bowlder, Pine, Sacramento and Main) and all other streets, roads and alleys withia the limits of the city. Itisof no use to claim that the traveling public are a tenfold more benefitted by those improvements than the property fronting on said streets; the Charter, carried out to the letter, says that the ~~{-Trustees may “order” the work to be done, but that the property fronting thereon has to ‘‘pay”for the repairs, By the way, on the eve of our city election, the owners of property fronting on our public streets and roads may like to know what kind of improvements our future candidates for Trustees contemplate to have carried out on our steets, so that they will distinctly understand how much they will be out o their pockets the next two years for . repairing, draining and graveling that: portion of our streets and roads in frout of their property.

A Work at the Eureka mine is temporarily suspended, as the storm of the present week has made more water in the shaft than can be handled’ with buckets. A clean-up of 73 loads of quartz ‘from the Slate Ledge mine, at Forest Springs, has just been made ab Sotherns’. custom mill, which ‘gave a yield of $2,301, or about $30 10 per load. A rich body of ore has been found in the 800 level of the Magenta. Where the ledge has been stripped for a distance of 26 feet it shows iv tree gold the entire distance. The ledge is also widening, showing in placesa width of 18 inches. 1¢ is believed that the strike is going to be a valuable one, and that the Maain ve hiptatavthe Law inetéeing'. genta will soon take rank as one’ of ion, ie eR oe eet the best mines of the district—Un © Don's forget that J.

I believe as strongly as any one that railroad monopolies ought to be cinched every time we can get a whack at them, but when the corporations get the best of us in all the courts, there is.no use in our trying to make'the taxpayers think there is any real benefit to the. people to be deriyed from the extra session. They will simply curse us for extravagance, and instead of giving us credit for sincerity in trying to right.a wrong will charge us with making them bear the expense of trying to work upaboom for the Democracy, Stoneman saw this, and if left alone would have steered us us through the breakers ; but’ the Examiner and a few ld political hacks are pulling the house down around our ears. But we're in for it now, and the best thing we can do is to whistle as loud as we can and trust to Providence,” A Lunatic at Large. The Tidings says: On Wednesday morning, as the down train on the Narrow Gauge railroad stopped at You Bet station, a man emerged from one of the buildings at the sta. . tion and gave engineer Craig orders not to run fast, as the noise of the ears woke people up along the line. The party giving the orders had his blankets in the house, where he had been sleeping, and in conversing with him it was plain to see that the poor fellow was demented. The lunatic went into the house, armed higself with a club and refused to be ejected. Finally the railroad men persuaded him to come ont of the house (they were afraid that he might set it on fire), when he shouldered his blankets and started in the direction of Colfax. The conductor offered him a ride, when he gave a comical wink and said: “Not by a d—sight, you can’t get me to ride; I know what you fellows are up. to,” As he has not been seen since it is probable that he is wandering around the woods on Bear river. ———-o<>e Bold KMobbery. Yesterday afternoon was pay dav at the Providence mine, About 4:30 o'clock some twenty ot the men, having received their month’s wages, started home. Josiah Hawke ana ywuiinam Ulemo were about fifty yaids in advance of the others, On arriving at the top of the hill above the mill, two men on horseback and masked presented their revolvers and demanded mouey of the twominers. Hawke being nearest the robbers responded to the call, and shelled out $75, his munth’s wages. Clemoconcluded to take hs chances by running back down the hill, and succeeded in escaping urhart, although a ball from a revolver of one of the rebbers passed througb his clothing, yrazing his side, He immediately notified the other miners who were coming up the hill, and they provided themselves with an armfull of rocks each to give the robbers a warm reception. On arriviog at the top of the hill they could see the highwaymen galloping over the hill in the direction of Gold . Flat. PRESIDENT ARTHUR gave a ‘‘stag” dinner at Washingtun Wednesdsy night.

Mr. Ammen is a thorough business man, ‘and ‘has reduced the’ advertising of his ‘medicines ‘to an exact science. . He believes that his Cough Syrup is. “}'a public benefit, and advertises it in’ evening at 7 o'slock. ou Mes, Row e ‘of the most frompt n the country. — t bsg pater had abandoned the use of ‘water . : eee (iedhititnd oc Rubber Circulars at greatly reduced prices, at Mrs, LesIn is seldom we speak éditorially of a business man, bug, it is) with _ STREET Repares, oh to the Subject. _ Eptrore: Transonter:—In your’ isatt of thier 7th instant, T'notice the ollowing’' item: “A> resident on Broad street says that thoroughfare needs repairing very. .much between the junction of York street and the Methodist Church. He saya that in storms like the present one it is ‘alimpassable, as the water does ran off readily.” I am led to be© that the aaid resident on Broad street, owner probably of a lot fronting thereon, isnot acquainted with the working of the charter in regard to streotejas interpreted now-a-days; so I will try to enlighten him on that point, Section 19 of our: charter, which was lately published.in full in the chiens of-the TRaNsuRieT, says: “To the public: strecta laid. out . by lawful authority, open and graded within the limits of said city, or which shall hereafter be laid out, opened and graded, as: provided io this Act, the paving, planking, ‘draining and repairs of every kind, shall be assessed upon, and done at the equal expense of the adjacent lots on each side of said streets, etc.” Thus will the ‘‘resident on Broad strent” see ata glance that if he ‘wants to have that portion of our great thoroughfare, from YoR@ street to the Methodist Church, repaired, drained and graveled, allhe has to do is to apply to the Board of Trustees to-order the “necessary repairs; he, said resident, and the other property owners fronting on that street, having to pay for every cent of such improvements. . Under the new Municipal bill, the city is authorized to spend as much as $100 a year on any and each street, or order the work to be done by. the property owners fronting on skid streets, or. do the necessary repairs at both the city and property owners’ expenses, the share of the city, however, not being allowed to exceed $100 per year on one single street. But under the ‘old charter, carried ont to the letter, the whole expense has to be borne by the property fronting on the street where “repairs of any kind” are ordered to beidone. The only kind of improvement and repairs that the Trustees have a legal right to order at the expeuse of the City, it seems, being on, squares.and crossings, parks and bridges, That that part of Broad street, from the junction of York street to the Methodist Church needs _repairing of the worst kind, is admitted by every one, especially by the traveling public; but the expense of filling with rock that portion of our great thoroughfare, so as to raise the . crown toa proper hight, isa costly jo and Mr. Casper, who has had experience in that line, figured, if I aM oCurrevy, tks sach jut woulin,t cost less than from $500 to $600. The question. is therefore narrowed. to this: is the Board of Trustees willing to order such an improvementto be done; and is the property fronting on that portion of the street ready to foot the bill? So is it with all our other thoroughfares (Bowlder, Pine, Sacramento and Main) and all other streets, roads and alleys withia the limits of the city. Itisof no use to claim that the traveling public are a tenfold more benefitted by those improvements than the property fronting on said streets; the Charter, carried out to the letter, says that the ~~{-Trustees may “order” the work to be done, but that the property fronting thereon has to ‘‘pay”for the repairs, By the way, on the eve of our city election, the owners of property fronting on our public streets and roads may like to know what kind of improvements our future candidates for Trustees contemplate to have carried out on our steets, so that they will distinctly understand how much they will be out o their pockets the next two years for . repairing, draining and graveling that: portion of our streets and roads in frout of their property. Fe.ix GIuLer. Nevada City, March 7th, 1884. Grass Valicy Mining ttems. A Work at the Eureka mine is temporarily suspended, as the storm of the present week has made more water in the shaft than can be handled’ with buckets. A clean-up of 73 loads of quartz ‘from the Slate Ledge mine, at Forest Springs, has just been made ab Sotherns’. custom mill, which ‘gave a yield of $2,301, or about $30 10 per load. A rich body of ore has been found in the 800 level of the Magenta. Where the ledge has been stripped for a distance of 26 feet it shows iv tree gold the entire distance. The ledge is also widening, showing in placesa width of 18 inches. 1¢ is

I believe as strongly as any one that railroad monopolies ought to be cinched every time we can get a whack at them, but when the corporations get the best of us in all the courts, there is.no use in our trying to make'the taxpayers think there is any real benefit to the. people to be deriyed from the extra session. They will simply curse us for extravagance, and instead of giving us credit for sincerity in trying to right.a wrong will charge us with making them bear the expense of trying to work upaboom for the Democracy, Stoneman saw this, and if left alone would have steered us us through the breakers ; but’ the Examiner and a few ld political hacks are pulling the house down around our ears. But we're in for it now, and the best thing we can do is to whistle as loud as we can and trust to Providence,” A Lunatic at Large. The Tidings says: On Wednesday morning, as the down train on the Narrow Gauge railroad stopped at You Bet station, a man emerged from one of the buildings at the sta. . tion and gave engineer Craig orders not to run fast, as the noise of the ears woke people up along the line. The party giving the orders had his blankets in the house, where he had been sleeping, and in conversing with him it was plain to see that the poor fellow was demented. The lunatic went into the house, armed higself with a club and refused to be ejected. Finally the railroad men persuaded him to come ont of the house (they were afraid that he might set it on fire), when he shouldered his blankets and started in the direction of Colfax. The conductor offered him a ride, when he gave a comical wink and said: “Not by a d—sight, you can’t get me to ride; I know what you fellows are up. to,” As he has not been seen since it is probable that he is wandering around the woods on Bear river. ———-o<>e Bold KMobbery. Yesterday afternoon was pay dav at the Providence mine, About 4:30 o'clock some twenty ot the men, having received their month’s wages, started home. Josiah Hawke ana ywuiinam Ulemo were about fifty yaids in advance of the others, On arriving at the top of the hill above the mill, two men on horseback and masked presented their revolvers and demanded mouey of the twominers. Hawke being nearest the robbers responded to the call, and shelled out $75, his munth’s wages. Clemoconcluded to take hs chances by running back down the hill, and succeeded in escaping urhart, although a ball from a revolver of one of the rebbers passed througb his clothing, yrazing his side, He immediately notified the other miners who were coming up the hill, and they provided themselves with an armfull of rocks each to give the robbers a warm reception. On arriviog at the top of the hill they could see the highwaymen galloping over the hill in the direction of Gold . Flat. PRESIDENT ARTHUR gave a ‘‘stag” dinner at Washingtun Wednesdsy night.
