Sa . The Daily Branseript. NEVADA CfTY. CAL. pee 7 Friday, October 19, 1877. . GEO, M. MOTT is our only suthorized Agout in Sacramynto. He will re Ad sf ta and Subscriptions tite o Tuameonirr, and receipt for 4s in our name, ‘ Spreading. Other places besides Culifornis areeginuing to get at the true inwardoess of covlie labor, We now learn tuut the Chinese question is under discussion in Australia with about vs mach earnestness as it ihere, The Legislature of Queensland, says the Stock Repért, bas im“posed a tix of $50 » bead on each Chinaman entering the colony, The “ money received in t» be retarred to ““ the payee, if at any time within three years of the date of landing be _ should ‘‘go away beyond sea.” He must, to receive this re-imbursement, prove that be has not been and that he has not been chargeable to any public institution for relief. This act, it is understood, has reeeived advice of approval by telegraph from the Home Governmert. Another act imposes an annual tix of $30 on Chinese gold miners, six times as much as is required of other natioualities. Bat to thia the Governur of the colony. refased to ‘advise heft majesty t» agseut.’’ Aftor this we should not be surprised if. “the Souta American States, the Sandwich Islands, and all other countries wnere there has been such a ferore ubout ‘cheap labor and lots of it,’’ should at lastbave the same .experience as California; Some of our readers will perhaps remember the time when several semi-deified mombefs of the Pioneer Society of SaaFrancisco arose in theirmight Aad srid to thatwo or three representative Mongols there assembled ‘a3 honored yuests, ‘“‘go hume and tell your countrymen t» come here. We want them; we needthem. Let as many come as wish. There is room for all here,’’ and beslobbered the almond-eyed vi-itors in a still}. higher key. One can hardly imaging: now theiutense yearning for coolie labor which prevailed in 1850-51. ‘The Australians, having gone through the same thing, have at last, it appears now, no better remedy for the eelfsinveked carse than the arbitrary and ‘unjust means of special taxation. Instead of pursuing the course above referred to, another but equally effective one is being tried in ‘this State now. In nearly every town _ the people, to a very great extent, refuse to give these itslic-eyed chaps employment, It is true there is ‘a large namber employed in mines o various parts of our county, but in nearly every instince the mines. in question would not pay were it not forthe cheap labor of the Ohinese. There are some claims, however, that we know of, that pay well, and the owaers could well afford to employ white men, but do not because they wont alithere is in sight aud think to realiz» considerable by hiriug Chinese, So fur as house ser‘vants are concerned, we know it is almost an atter impossibility to find white lubor to fill their places, as that class can seldom be bad, and t> secure their services such exorbitint wages have to be paid that bat few ean afford to employ them. To be brief, the Chinese are indispensable as house servants in the interior of the State. In this city and Grass Valley, and we notice by our exchanges that the same course is being pursued in othér towns, the work of sawing wood has been given to white boys and men, and the Mongolians infer . on this that their presence is not essential to the happiness and prosperity of the people, and that it is about time for them to “get upand dust’’ to places where their company is more appreciated. This is really the best method of nolving the Chinese problem. We do not. kuow of a single instance where white labor was employed last year in getting in the ‘winter's wood,’’ and this year we know of ‘only one instance wher¢ Chinamen were employed, and in thet case if _ the work was to be done over there weald be no need of any Chinamén a The Chinese question is. cwerking well pore aud _butadcede of “rustling” er u oan £ Satin bs C) ea to ro own coup é 2 Some person in this city made a 4 comiplaint.to the Post Office Department about the wheel that was used at the Post Office. The charge was that everybody had an opportunity of seving who received letters and where from, te their great annoyance. Notice wasi mediately sent to Postmaster Haskins enquiring if such.was the case. Thy, Postmaster informed the proper authorities everything in regard to the matter, and fa iher that the wheel had been in ue, for the ace. mmodation of -he people, for o¥er ten years. Mr. Haskins immediately tlured down on that wheel, and the people who had always received their letters in that way, were very much disgusted Mr. Haskins then wro ve ‘0 Senator Sargent about it ant yesterday received the following reply: United States Senate een. WasHINGTON, Oct. 10th, 1877. H. H. Haskins Esq , Postu:aster Nevada City, Sir :—I have consulted with the authorities of the Post Office Department in regard. to the wheel used at your office, and explained its use and convenience tu’ ihe people, As a resalt of sach conference, . am allowed to inform you that you can continue its use until fur-her action is! tak n by the Department. Probabiy no sach action will ever be taken. HH auy person requests that his letters be not pla-ed on the wheel, you will not pu them there. There is no law prohibiting the use of euch a machine, ad the Department has no wish to deprive the people of a conFvetiience. The use of tiie wheels ‘ean be resumed at North San Juan, Trackeo, &. . Respecttuily, A. A. SARGENT. The wheel will now be put in use again. "In Town, . J, T. Grayson, formerly of the San Francisco Stock Réport,-but now with Hahn & Roche, will be in town tc=lay, and will offer goods from his house to our dealers. From samples heretofore forwarded to this office, -wecan confidently recommend all ‘in want of goods in his line to give their orders to Mr. Grayson. Gentlemanly and square treatment will always be had from this house. Consolidated. “= The Champion Mining Company has now consolidated with different ‘owners of adjoining mines. The mining property ef the company is of considerable extent and is desirably situated. A tunnel is being driven into the hill opposite the the Providence mine, which will give over 450 feet backs. A Burleigh drill will be introduced as soon as the present contract shall be completed. I: is a feature of this company that stock set apart asa working fund, and disposed of for the benefit of the company, has paid the whole work up to this day, and we hear that this company will escape assessments: altogether. A Board of Trustees worth imitating. Dance To-night. Don’t forget that there is going to be the best time at Hunt's Hall to-night that there has been for 16 years. The Hall will be crowded with the handsomest women north of Mason and Dixon’s line, and as gallant men as ever floarished in the days of King Patrick, the 16th. The ladies will make the svlection of partners throughout the evening, and of course the programme will please everyone. We hope the dancing fraternity will all turn oat and enjoy an old-fashioned time.” Highway Robbery. A man named Hatch was stopped near the Sugar Loafon Weduesday night last and robbed of $20. Mr. Hatch thinks he could recognize the robbers if he ever saw them again. He wastiding along on horseback at the time, when the robbura stepped out of the chapparel and demanded his money. He gave them all he had in gold and kept his silver change. Giants and Dwarfs The Commodore Nutt combination —composed of giants and dwarfa— will make a tour of California, and will doubtless exbibit in this city.

Vancéwas arrested at Vallejo on Wedoesday, ebarged with haying Modied the late fire which de.stroyed the town uf Vacaville. Vance kept a drng shop at Vacaville adjoising the place where fhe fire started. Itis alleged ‘hat when men broke open his store to save the goods they found him fally dressed doing mot'iog and many things in the butiding saturated with coal oil. He treated the men, it is alleged, insultiugly «s if he wauted them to leave. The explanation forthis, credited to him, He says that be was awakened by Dr. Cummiogs coving to bis window atd gut ap und dressed himself bat became stupified by tae smoke, which was the cause of his peculiar demeanor. It is said on the otber hand that Dr. Commings did not cill bim; tint it can be proved that the defendant did not goto bed at all that night, and that there was no smoke in the room wheu the men entered. Vunce's property was insared for $300 in one company and $2,500 in another, the total of which was much greater tian the value of the proper ty. The last, company referred t> having, as is understood, their suspicions, told him after the fire that they would. give him $1,000, and not a cnt more. . He agreed totiske that sum without any @ebate. ‘I bere isa very strong feeling against the acensed ut. Vacavi'le, for ‘the. people feel teir losses deeply, The aegree of justifi! cation for the charges, however, can be be tter determined after the ex»minstion, when fucts and fancies will be sifted. Postmaster’s Salaries. With the conseut of tue Senate the Presidsat bas the appointing of all Po. tmasters for offices of the first second and third classes. According to the Official Guide for Oct ber there are in: California one first-class Post Office--San Francisco, and the salary of the ‘Postwaster is $4,000 per annum; tuirteen second-class, with sularies ranging from $2,000 to 2,800--Grass Valley Los Angeles, Napa, Marysville, Nevada, Oukland, San Wiego, S.cramento, San Juse, Santa Barbara, Santa Rosa, Stockton and Vulleje; twenty-seven third-class offices, with salaries ranging from $1,100 to $1,900. The Postmaster of Sacramento receives {$2,600 per annum; of Grass Valley 2,700; Los Angeles $2,800; Oukland, $2,800; San Jose, $2,800; Sants Barbara, $2,700; the salaries 1n ‘i Other sccond-class aré below that paid the Sacrameuto Postmaster. The Bee says: The total sularies paid to Postmasters iv this State, appointed. by, the President, is $74,300 per’ annum;in addition thereto their clerks and other ‘assistipts doubtless receive in the aggregate nearly twice as much more. {n all the United St. testhe President has the appointment of 1,200 Postmastérs. The remainder are appointed by the Post Office Department. The total number of Post Offices in the Un:ted Stites on tbe first of September was 37,575, being an increase of 408 since June Ist. The number in-California was 772. A Bet. A year ago last February, says between John W. Mackay and Hagh Lamb, foreman of the bonanza mines as to the capacity of the Consolidated Virginia shaft for raising ore.” Lamb said he could bring up from the 1650 level of that mine 600 tens of ore per day, on an average, through the month, A wager of a $100 suit of clothes was finally made ‘between them, and the work commenced. ‘During the twenty-eight days of that little month 17,724 tons of ore were raised through that shaft alone, averaging, as will be seen 633 tons per dey. The result of this achievement, however, is more astebishing than the work itself. ‘This ore Was milled as raised, and the ballion production of the Consolidated -Vi.ginia that month stands a ly believe, never be equaled. The yield ot the mine for the month was over $3,500,000--a record which it is well preserve.

Vance kept a drng shop at Vacaville adjoising the place where fhe fire started. Itis alleged ‘hat when men broke open his store to save the goods they found him fally dressed doing mot'iog and many things in the butiding saturated with coal oil. He treated the men, it is alleged, insultiugly «s if he wauted them to leave. The explanation forthis, credited to him, He says that be was awakened by Dr. Cummiogs coving to bis window atd gut ap und dressed himself bat became stupified by tae smoke, which was the cause of his peculiar demeanor. It is said on the otber hand that Dr. Commings did not cill bim; tint it can be proved that the defendant did not goto bed at all that night, and that there was no smoke in the room wheu the men entered.. Vunce's property was insared for $300 in one company and $2,500 in another, the total of which was much greater tian the value of the proper ty. The last, company referred t> having, as is understood, their suspicions, told him after the fire that they would. give him $1,000, and not a cnt more. . He agreed totiske that sum without any @ebate. ‘I bere isa very strong feeling against the acensed ut.

The Bee says: The total sularies paid to Postmasters iv this State, appointed. by, the President, is $74,300 per’ annum;in addition thereto their clerks and other ‘assistipts doubtless receive in the aggregate nearly twice as much more. {n all the United St. testhe President has the appointment of 1,200 Postmastérs.

Mackay and Hagh Lamb, foreman of the bonanza mines as to the capacity of the Consolidated Virginia shaft for raising ore.” Lamb said he could bring up from the 1650 level of that mine 600 tens of ore per day, on an average, through the month, A wager of a $100 suit of clothes was finally made ‘between them, and the work commenced. ‘During the twenty-eight days of that little month 17,724 tons of ore were raised through that shaft alone, averaging, as will be seen 633 tons per dey. The result of this achievement, however, is more astebishing than the work itself. ‘This ore Was milled as raised, and the ballion production of the Consolidated -Vi.ginia that month stands a ly believe, never be equaled. The yield ot the mine for the month was over $3,500,000--a record which it is well preserve.
