NEVADA CITY, CAL. \ ¥ @ Pe nor renee nomen * ‘Saturday, November 21, 1874. eis SEES SOE Our Fature._ Under the above heading the San ‘Jose Mereury hes a half column artigle showing the elements of growth, und the permanent prosperity of the valley in which that city -is located, It says that San Jose has at pris sent fifteen thousand population, whereas ten years ago it had. only five thousand, all of which speaks well for the valley. ‘The growth of that seetion is no'less a pride to the people wha reside there, than ait is to residents of the mountain counties. » “ay. “Every true Califorvian is prond. of ‘his adopted State, and witnesses with : pleasure its growth and prosperity. ry Tts industries are varied as its soi and climate, and therein lies. its at+tiactiveness. Euch region is also essential to the progress of ‘the other. “The valleys have heretofore attd. still “find a market for their produce ta. the mountains, while the mountains . , ia tarn furnish them and the whole world with hard money. It is not just the right way then for the valleys to decty the mining regions avith a view to build up themselves, In the articlo referredto, the writer . Aas this to say of the mountains: The decay of many of the once fa-’ mous mining towns of California, is} . as remarkable asis the growth and devolopment of the principal towns of the Coast valleys. Shasta, Nevada, Grass Valley, Anburn, Ophir, 2M. arysville, Meadow Lake, and numerous other mining towns—once the centers of large populations, and the hives of busy industry—are now -in the ‘‘sere and yellow leaf’’ of deWith the exhausted placers, their glory departed, ~ The honest miner shouldered his pick and shovel and struck out for pastures new. How different has been the career of the valley towns, Starting from small beginnings their growth has been steady aud of the most substantial and permanent characier. . Itis true maty of the mining towns are not as prosperous as they oneé were, from the simple fact that the money taken from the mines has gone to swell the vaults of towns in tho valleys. San Jose has been largely built up ty gold taken out of Nevada county, and its population cas received large additions from the *ssame place. ‘The heaviest capitalists there, the soundest banking. institutions and business houses, operate upon coin taken, from’ the ‘‘decayed mining towns of Grass Valley and Nevada.’’’ There has been a ‘constant stream of golden treasure flowing thitherward duing the ten years’ prosperous career mentioned ‘by the Mercury. Meantime what has that region produced towards its -own growth, Itis a delightful region it is true, and 1 has been sought -on that account asa good place for yuvestment, It has, or will sogn, reach a point beyond which it will not grow. Capital at present does not command a very high rate of interest there, and the accommodations are ample to do all the business at present and for years to come. Moneywwill.then seek a more _profitable place for investment, — Capitalists will not loan money for eight aud ten per cent per annum, when at other points it will command from one to. two. par cent per month, vas it will in the’ “mountains. Tt The . Mercury will also find upon visiting . ‘this section that there is not so much “‘decay’’ as it imagines, Nevada ‘City never had better prospects th it has to day. Its mining interests -mever looked as well, and the town never had a healthier appearance ‘than at the present time. Instead of the “honest miner’ shouldering his pick and shovel and striking for pastures. new,’’ he has been industriously delving into the bowels of the earth, and aga result, some of the best mines in the State have been developed during the past four years. Quartz mining is comparatively in its infancy, and there are hundreds ‘of miles of untouched . gravel leads . in thecounty, “A hundred years hence, if the Mercury man_ lives ‘that long, he will find towns bere . ‘ten times their present size, and in the height of prosperity. The hills will be covered with prosperous homes, and the miving and agricultural: interests will far exceed the auticipations of the most sanguine. It has been-this idea of the immediate decay of the mountain regions which has induced capitalists to leave with ‘their money and: build up other localities, The practice will son be at an end, however, Tnvestments hew even farming can be carried on as profitably as in the valleys.As a region for fruit, vegetable and nut culture, these foothills excel any. place in the State. The cheap Ignds, productive soil, delightfol climate, free from fog and exessive. heat, will ‘ere long be sought Ly thé emigrant, to thesé shores, and. then the mountains will again-assume more thai their oid time prosperity, -and.they will help to swell not only the -coffers, but the granaries of the world. They are not played ont, but have a prosperous career moped out fer the future. in The Last and Best. Prof. McDonald gives his-Jast and best lecture of the course this -evening. .

But *‘C."’, you see, wants to make out that the Institute costs $1,000, hence this effort to make it appear that the Trustees steal a Jarge portion of it, nnd that the teachers, by accepting the money, are equally crim. inal, We know, from observation and experience, however, that it is not the custom to pay, teachers fora longer term than during the session cratic ticket.

Postponed, The time for opening bids for contracts to build the ‘Colfax and Nevada Railroad has been postponed from to-day to Tuesday next on account ,of' the absence of two of the} Directors, We hope the Directors. will all be present at that time; that there will be lots of bids at low figures; that they will be ‘accepted and work commenced at the earliest, possitle ‘moment. In other words, we hope the matter of deciding what is to be done.and in what manner, will not require another adjournment, » : bic ter John Watkins, a native of the West Indies, who imagines he has} enemies who'are seeking to destroy him, hes been declared insane by a of the Institute. “C.”’ professes to be horror-stricken at the idea of an Institute in the Fall costing a trifle more than were it held in the Spring; yet he has, according to hiniself,no scruples against robbing ‘his District of double the amount to which he is entitled; and Mutimates that any teacher who can’t pull the wool over his Trustees’ eyes and secure his double pay, is green. “©.” further says: ‘‘The Institute should be held when most Districts have vacation, so that teachers would receive no pay for attending. And then contradicting himself as usual, he says: ‘‘A teacher should be paid more while attending an Institute than when teaching, &¢."’ We callthat -‘contradictory logic,’ and yet assure hii that though those two quotations are diametrically. opposed to each: other, that both are wrong. The Iustitute should bé held when mast sghools are in session, so that teachers would receive pay for attending, and so that they could immediately put in practice the good ideas they glean there. “A teacher who is teaghing while the Institute is held should not reeeive double pay; for why should he, while the poor fellow who is out of a job has to attend ‘without receiving a cent and pay his own expenses too. For our part, we don’t propose attending an Institute unless it is held when we are teaching; for should our Trustees give usa week's vacation, we intend having a vacation and not cramming ourselves up in the everlasting school-room eternally. “C."* makes, as is the custom with all old fogies, an onslaught upo:. Teachers Institutes, and upon the highest educators in the State. Doubtless ‘‘O,”’ is plodding along in the same old grooves which were in vogue in his great grandfather's day, and, as a matter of caurse, any innovations upon ancient customs grate harshly upon his stand-stillness and he looks with.a malignant scowl upon Institutes, and ‘those, to him, incomprehensibly big educators who come up from the Bay, with their, to him, new-fangled notions about teaching. A spirit somewhat akin to this was manifested in his attack upon Prof. Carr, and Supt. Bolander, We hardly need remind the in-. ; Commission at San Jose. telligent public that Prof. Carr did share of the spoils without any'con. . scientious scraples whatever. haps, of 'C.”, do we think there is} accept money from any person or . . : leeture before two sessions of. our In. stitute and, we are sure they will “bear us out’’ in informing ‘‘U.”’ that the Prof. did not deliver the same lecture up casions. We say}'G’’ is agaia, as usual, wrong. ‘The ‘Professor did not deliver the same lecttre twice. +#C,’' again tries to create w false iiipression by saying that Prof. Gare lectured ‘upon “Woman's Rights.” He did no suth thing. His lecture was upon the ‘‘Educational Rights of Women,”’ and evéry man, woman . and sensible child indorsed his ideas upon that as upon every other subject upon which he lectured. « Bolander’s methods. of presenting the {study of Grammar were good, but were perhaps a little too deep to be . appreciated by ‘'C. a Since our last communication we have discovered who “C.” is, and were we only to mention his name, the animus of his opposition to the Institute would at once be seen antl appreciated by the public. We don't blame “‘C.’’ for opposing an Institute this Fall with all his ‘‘might and main;’’ were we in the same fix we shonld do likewise. We shall only assure the community that “O's.’”’ attendance during thé last. session of our. Institute “was a very sorry fraction indeed, of the time for which he assures us he pockets. his double pay. Along with ‘‘O’s’’ many other sius.we bave to charge him with ungallantry;tor he has no business to know that a lady has a foot, much less speculate upon the size of her boots, Carin: JOSEPHINE.

The saloon-keepers of Rockford, Illinois, have adopted a plan of keeping a list of all habitual drunkards, and they are, when foundjon the list, . reftibed liquor.’ ‘We--believe a similar list is S kept by saloon-keepers in this city. The list i is kept on a slate, and represents, besides a ntimber of names; a large amoubt of money. . If all such lists: were settled, most . of the proprietors could retire from business with acompetency. SCO a A REN Wuo was Sue?—An item is traveling the the rounds of the Eastern papers to the effect that a wasber‘woman of Sacramento had about $3,000 deposited with Harry Meiggs when he failed and fled the. couutry. Not long since, hearing that he had acquired great wealth, and was disdisposed to do “the fair thing,’’ she went to Peru, called upon him, es-. tablished her identity, and received from. Meiggs the amount of her deposit and interest in full.

NEVADA CITY, CAL. \ ¥ @ Pe nor renee nomen * ‘Saturday, November 21, 1874. eis SEES SOE Our Fature._ Under the above heading the San ‘Jose Mereury hes a half column artigle showing the elements of growth, und the permanent prosperity of the valley in which that city -is located, It says that San Jose has at pris sent fifteen thousand population, whereas ten years ago it had. only five thousand, all of which speaks well for the valley. ‘The growth of that seetion is no'less a pride to the people wha reside there, than ait is to residents of the mountain counties. » “ay. “Every true Califorvian is prond. of ‘his adopted State, and witnesses with : pleasure its growth and prosperity. ry Tts industries are varied as its soi and climate, and therein lies. its at+tiactiveness. Euch region is also essential to the progress of ‘the other. “The valleys have heretofore attd. still “find a market for their produce ta. the mountains, while the mountains . , ia tarn furnish them and the whole world with hard money. It is not just the right way then for the valleys to decty the mining regions avith a view to build up themselves, In the articlo referredto, the writer . Aas this to say of the mountains: The decay of many of the once fa-’ mous mining towns of California, is} . as remarkable asis the growth and devolopment of the principal towns of the Coast valleys. Shasta, Nevada, Grass Valley, Anburn, Ophir, 2M. arysville, Meadow Lake, and numerous other mining towns—once the centers of large populations, and the hives of busy industry—are now -in the ‘‘sere and yellow leaf’’ of deWith the exhausted placers, their glory departed, ~ The honest miner shouldered his pick and shovel and struck out for pastures new. How different has been the career of the valley towns, Starting from small beginnings their growth has been steady aud of the most substantial and permanent characier. . Itis true maty of the mining towns are not as prosperous as they oneé were, from the simple fact that the money taken from the mines has gone to swell the vaults of towns in tho valleys. San Jose has been largely built up ty gold taken out of Nevada county, and its population cas received large additions from the *ssame place. ‘The heaviest capitalists there, the soundest banking. institutions and business houses, operate upon coin taken, from’ the ‘‘decayed mining towns of Grass Valley and Nevada.’’’ There has been a ‘constant stream of golden treasure flowing thitherward duing the ten years’ prosperous career mentioned ‘by the Mercury. Meantime what has that region produced towards its -own growth, Itis a delightful region it is true, and 1 has been sought -on that account asa good place for yuvestment, It has, or will sogn, reach a point beyond which it will not grow. Capital at present does not command a very high rate of interest there, and the accommodations are ample to do all the business at present and for years to come. Moneywwill.then seek a more _profitable place for investment, — Capitalists will not loan money for eight aud ten per cent per annum, when at other points it will command from one to. two. par cent per month, vas it will in the’ “mountains. Tt The . Mercury will also find upon visiting . ‘this section that there is not so much “‘decay’’ as it imagines, Nevada ‘City never had better prospects th it has to day. Its mining interests -mever looked as well, and the town never had a healthier appearance ‘than at the present time. Instead of the “honest miner’ shouldering his pick and shovel and striking for pastures. new,’’ he has been industriously delving into the bowels of the earth, and aga result, some of the best mines in the State have been developed during the past four years. Quartz mining is comparatively in its infancy, and there are hundreds ‘of miles of untouched . gravel leads . in thecounty, “A hundred years hence, if the Mercury man_ lives ‘that long, he will find towns bere . ‘ten times their present size, and in the height of prosperity. The hills will be covered with prosperous homes, and the miving and agricultural: interests will far exceed the auticipations of the most sanguine. It has been-this idea of the immediate decay of the mountain regions which has induced capitalists to leave with ‘their money and: build up other localities, The practice will son be at an end, however, Tnvestments hew even farming can be carried on as profitably as in the valleys..As a region for fruit, vegetable and nut culture, these foothills excel any. place in the State. The cheap Ignds, productive soil, delightfol climate, free from fog and exessive. heat, will ‘ere long be sought Ly thé emigrant, to thesé shores, and. then the mountains will again-assume more thai their oid time prosperity, -and.they will help to swell not only the -coffers, but the granaries of the world. They are not played ont, but have a prosperous career moped out fer the future. in The Last and Best. Prof. McDonald gives his-Jast and best lecture of the course this -evening. .

Postponed, The time for opening bids for contracts to build the ‘Colfax and Nevada Railroad has been postponed from to-day to Tuesday next on account ,of' the absence of two of the} Directors, We hope the Directors. will all be present at that time; that there will be lots of bids at low figures; that they will be ‘accepted and work commenced at the earliest, possitle ‘moment. In other words, we hope the matter of deciding what is to be done.and in what manner, will not require another adjournment, » : bic ter John Watkins, a native of the West Indies, who imagines he has} enemies who'are seeking to destroy him, hes been declared insane by a of the Institute. “C.”’ professes to be horror-stricken at the idea of an Institute in the Fall costing a trifle more than were it held in the Spring; yet he has, according to hiniself,no scruples against robbing ‘his District of double the amount to which he is entitled; and Mutimates that any teacher who can’t pull the wool over his Trustees’ eyes and secure his double pay, is green. “©.” further says: ‘‘The Institute should be held when most Districts have vacation, so that teachers would receive no pay for attending. And then contradicting himself as usual, he says: ‘‘A teacher should be paid more while attending an Institute than when teaching, &¢."’ We callthat -‘contradictory logic,’ and yet assure hii that though those two quotations are diametrically. opposed to each: other, that both are wrong. The Iustitute should bé held when mast sghools are in session, so that teachers would receive pay for attending, and so that they could immediately put in practice the good ideas they glean there. “A teacher who is teaghing while the Institute is held should not reeeive double pay; for why should he, while the poor fellow who is out of a job has to attend ‘without receiving a cent and pay his own expenses too. For our part, we don’t propose attending an Institute unless it is held when we are teaching; for should our Trustees give usa week's vacation, we intend having a vacation and not cramming ourselves up in the everlasting school-room eternally. “C."* makes, as is the custom with all old fogies, an onslaught upo:. Teachers Institutes, and upon the highest educators in the State. Doubtless ‘‘O,”’ is plodding along in the same old grooves which were in vogue in his great grandfather's day, and, as a matter of caurse, any innovations upon ancient customs grate harshly upon his stand-stillness and he looks with.a malignant scowl upon Institutes, and ‘those, to him, incomprehensibly big educators who come up from the Bay, with their, to him, new-fangled notions about teaching. A spirit somewhat akin to this was manifested in his attack upon Prof. Carr, and Supt. Bolander, We hardly need remind the in-. ; Commission at San Jose. telligent public that Prof. Carr did share of the spoils without any'con. . scientious scraples whatever. haps, of 'C.”, do we think there is} accept money from any person or . . : leeture before two sessions of. our In. stitute and, we are sure they will “bear us out’’ in informing ‘‘U.”’ that the Prof. did not deliver the same lecture up casions. We say}'G’’ is agaia, as usual, wrong. ‘The ‘Professor did not deliver the same lecttre twice. +#C,’' again tries to create w false iiipression by saying that Prof. Gare lectured ‘upon “Woman's Rights.” He did no suth thing. His lecture was upon the ‘‘Educational Rights of Women,”’ and evéry man, woman . and sensible child indorsed his ideas upon that as upon every other subject upon which he lectured. « Bolander’s methods. of presenting the {study of Grammar were good, but were perhaps a little too deep to be . appreciated by ‘'C. a Since our last communication we have discovered who “C.” is, and were we only to mention his name, the animus of his opposition to the Institute would at once be seen antl appreciated by the public. We don't blame “‘C.’’ for opposing an Institute this Fall with all his ‘‘might and main;’’ were we in the same fix we shonld do likewise. We shall only assure the community that “O's.’”’ attendance during thé last. session of our. Institute “was a very sorry fraction indeed, of the time for which he assures us he pockets. his double pay. Along with ‘‘O’s’’ many other sius.we bave to charge him with ungallantry;tor he has no business to know that a lady has a foot, much less speculate upon the size of her boots, Carin: JOSEPHINE.

The saloon-keepers of Rockford, Illinois, have adopted a plan of keeping a list of all habitual drunkards, and they are, when foundjon the list, . reftibed liquor.’ ‘We--believe a similar list is S kept by saloon-keepers in this city.
