There are twenty men employed in the drift mine. Monday a tunnel twenty feet below’ the upper one was started. The daily output_of gravel is about» fifty tons. This is. breasted out, through the shaft, crushed and the whole process of working gone through with ata cost -of about $1 50_a tou. In spots the cement has p.id as high as twenty-five cents @ pound, and the general average has been of a satisfactéry character, Tris betieved that the newdrift wilt *~ disclose inuéh “richer gravel than does the one twenty feet above, as the latter evidently extends along a a beneh-or-bar-in-the-dead-river Lhe: Pe a — ing $4, 000, 000 as been expended inthe} _ the wayes resulary paid out support _-machinery is ail ran by Water.

Some trouble has been experienced by a slide 1m the road that prevents tim. ber being readily hauled to the working. An Unreliable Correspondent. ” An unknown correspondent writing from Sweetlaud to the New York Vribune classes the North Bioomfield and Milton Water & Mining Companies of this county as ‘‘alleged wildcats.” Pray, Mr. Correspondent, do you have evough faith in your -statements on this subject to endorse them over your own signature? Who “alieges” that these great hydraulic mines are ‘‘wildcats?” We are surprised beyond measure that a paper ike the ‘Iribune should peri.it you to ventilate your absurd propositions through its columns. Between $3,000,000~ and development of these two mines, and they justly rank among the greatest ‘_ and best of their kind in the world. Thousands of dollars worth of gold is taken from them annually, and couple of hundred of families or so, ‘There are no indivatious that their resourceswill be exhausted for many Fortunately L.

G. E.R. The State Board of Equalization has presented a statement showing their assessmeit of the. railroads in this State, when located in more than one county. ‘The total number of miles is given at 2,023 and a fraction and the value-at $31,174,140. The Nevada County Narrow Guage is 22} miles.in length; value of franchise por mile, $1,000; value of road-bed and rails per mile, $6,838; value of rol-ing stock per mile, $2,166; total val. ue per mile, $10,054; total assessed value, $226,230. The rate at»which this railroad is assessed’ is considered exorbitant. The Manzanita Claim. The placing of the old Manzanita hydraulic mine on the New York market creates considerable astonishment among local miners. No person here seemsto be posted as tp whether another attempt wil be made to work it extensively by the hydraulic process, or whether drifting will be inaugurated, although we have no idea*that the character of —the gravel willwarrant.the—latter, Thus far this season some washing has been cone when free water. was dbtainabl>, pe See eee Tug San Francisco Post records the tact that honey will be scarce phd dear this season, but we suppose taffy is as plentifus an . ascheap on the Pacific coast. as e sewhere.— N.

He says: “‘I am satisfied from what I know of the maké-up of the W. P.

Remember, my friends, that, at the last ‘election we polled 44,482 votes, while } the most popular man of the “Democratic ticket (B-own) polled only 32,163. We are therefore in a position to demand respectful and fair_ treatment, and to mete ‘out. punishment to those who attempt to insult or de[ yrade us.”. Inspite of the desire of unprincipled office-seekers the above is about the sentiment of the party in this.county. ‘‘Let no Kearneyite vote at our caucus,” is the understood rule among Nevada county Democrats. ‘‘Death to the Democratic party,” is the Workingmen’s defiant reply. Dan BWIFT. ; igase ee Mixing the Seasons. At eight o’clock yesterday morning, the rainstorm that had been prevailing for several hours took’ anothertack, and during the remainder of the day snow fell in large quantities. The flakes were extensive in proportions, and light. Here in the valley they meltedso rapid!y that only three or four inches covered~the ground at any time; in the higher regions they piled up to a depth of from -one to five feet-accerding to the altitude, A friend at our elbow wants to know ifthis freak on the part of the elementsisin further veri. fication of a prophécy made by Judge Searls a long time ago. “ In January, 1876, during the course of a speech he said that the last spike of the railroad would be driyen before the February, ~March and April passed away, and his friend’ asked the Judge hew long a winter he calculated on. In May the road was completed and the day the spike-driving came on the snow fell in clouds, brea ing down trees, bushes, and doing much damage. Mr. Searls made an address and called uvon the crowd to bear witness Nto the truthfulness; of his assertion that the work wéuld be done that winter>—It has been but two or three timesduring the last decade, say old residetts, that’ such storms as that ofiyester prevail so late in the season.

C, throughout the State, Isay to you let _pretended Democrats who. arg worse than Republicans, for they add hy-! pocrisy to theirimpudent arrogance aud rather than droop our flag in dishonor and humiliation we will fight it out to the bitter end, and thus preserve our self respect, at least, while we again show these silly men what they are without us. Remember, my friends, that, at the last ‘election we polled 44,482 votes, while } the most popular man of the “Democratic ticket (B-own) polled only 32,163. We are therefore in a position to demand respectful and fair_ treatment, and to mete ‘out. punishment to those who attempt to insult or de[ yrade us.”. Inspite of the desire of unprincipled office-seekers the above is about the sentiment of the party in this.county. ‘‘Let no Kearneyite vote at our caucus,” is the understood rule among Nevada county Democrats. ‘‘Death to the Democratic party,” is the Workingmen’s defiant reply. Dan BWIFT. ; igase ee Mixing the Seasons. At eight o’clock yesterday morning, the rainstorm that had been prevailing for several hours took’ anothertack, and during the remainder of the day snow fell in large quantities. The flakes were extensive in proportions, and light. Here in the valley they meltedso rapid!y that only three or four inches covered~the ground at any time; in the higher regions they piled up to a depth of from -one to five feet-accerding to the altitude, A friend at our elbow wants to know ifthis freak on the part of the elementsisin further veri. fication of a prophécy made by Judge Searls a long time ago. “ In January, 1876, during the course of a speech he said that the last spike of the railroad would be driyen before the February, ~March and April passed away, and his friend’ asked the Judge hew long a winter he calculated on. In May the road was completed and the day the spike-driving came on the snow fell in clouds, brea ing down trees, bushes, and doing much damage. Mr. Searls made an address and called uvon the crowd to bear witness Nto the truthfulness; of his assertion that the work wéuld be done that winter>—It has been but two or three timesduring the last decade, say old residetts, that’ such storms as that ofiyester prevail so late in the season.
