The Allison Ranch Mine.
Captain.J. D. Woodworth is now su4
yperintendent of the Allison Ranch.
mine,.and has started in to. thoroughly 4
open it to the depth of 800 feet below
the surface. ‘With a. view+o eid in
working, John M. Currier has been employed to make a thorough survey of
the mine and to make maps of the surface and. underground works. The Alison Ranch is one of the oldest as well
as one of the richest mines in the county. Tt has been opened to the depth
wf,700 feat below the surface, and has
worked, still it has made owners rich.
The Company having placed Captain
Woodworth in charge, he has inauguis to be done by contract, and the ine
as we have stated, will-be opened on a
new level, 800 feet below the surface.
In order to work understandiagly, a
cross-cut is being run to ascertain exactly the nature of the ground at the
anitial point. The ledge runs north
‘and south, and at the north end of the
works they consider that a new ledge
has-been: found. In the way of machinery, considerable improvement is
to be made. Two new boilers are to
be set in the pumping works, in order
that with the two already there the
pumping can go on without .interrup-’
tion for repairs, and the six pumps now
required to be kept in constant operation to keep the water down are to be
decreased to one, with another for lowering. Captain’ Woodworth is now
putting ina 15-inch plunger and will
‘take out all the pumps now used except
‘the 16. inch pump. The mine is look_ ing first rate, and the owners are confident that after sinking to the new level .
they will find it as rich as it was in its
best days.
Prxney in Paris;—In concluding a
private letter, Frank Pixley gives the
following in regard to his observations
on the 11th of September: “Atan early
hour I went to the Ramparts, and ob-.
served the complete preparation for resistance there. Passing out at the gate
at Neuilly, 1 saw hundreds of men en.
gaged in. demolishing houses, cutting
down trees\and removing everything
within what ary; the military zone.
I van assure you. it looks like earnest,
when you see strong stone buildings,
beautiful villas, splendid groves and
gardens destroyed to. enable the guns
of the ramparts to have scope for the
maurder of advancing Prussians. I entered the Bois de Boulogne; a large
part of it near the walls is alread out
down, and I understand it is to be.
tirely removed and burned. From the
Bois I visited the “Field of Mars.” It
is crowded with regiments of infantry,
cavalry, men and horses, artillery, guns
and wagons, mitrailleuses, tents, etc.,
all the paraphernalia of war. The
streets are actually alive with men and
‘ horses moving in every direction, The
garden of the Tuilleries, the avenue of
the Roi du Rouse, the avenue of the
“Grand Army,” are crowded with all
sorts of things military. Signal stations are established -n the prominent
heights, at the tops of palaces, the Arc
de Tricombhe, etc. To sum up all,
Paris is a great military camp, and
there is every indication that the Government means stout resistance, As
Jules Favre says: “First the army,then
the outer fortifications, then the walls;
then barricades—man to man and hand
to hand,” We shall see.
Ban!—The following is from the
Union of yesterday: We hear that
many grizzly bears are depredating between Weber Lake and the town of
Eureka. A cow weighing 800 pounds
was killed and carried out of a corral,
in that vicinity, and several 700 pound
steers have been killed by the same
band of bears. These grizzlies are
. heading towards Nevada City, in their
raid, and it is certain that they cannot
be repulsed antil they get to the settled regious around Grass Valley.
There is much alartn wboat those bears
above Grass Valley,
~
Brothers” Turn (U {The *
San Jou i has been victimized by the
“Victor, héie” whg\have gauges
the naabe of hr Brothers,” at that
place.” A correspondent of the Ala
writing frém San Jose gives the following account of thé doings of those interesting bilks: A few weeks since a
couple of men (brothers) by the name
of Dudley came to this place, and
opened what they called the San Jose
Musical Institute, for the teaching of
vocal and instrumental masic, and obtained a large number of pupils,
mostly children from the public schools,
A few days after they opened their
schools, they announced through the
“morning paper” the “First Grand
Concert of the San Jose Musical Inati}.
tute,” to take place on Saturday, October ist. Advertisements in the papers
and posters.and handbills on the street,
contained the names of eminent and
popular’ singers and musicians who
would take part in the concert, The
“morning paper” espoused the cause ‘of .
the “Professors,” and gave its entire
strength to make the concert a success,
and to some extent succeeded, as will
shortly be shown. On Saturday evehing last, everything being in readiness, the doors of the Opera House
were thrown open whilst an excellent
band discoursed. seductive harmony,
which had the effect to draw a large
number of people to the spot, many of
whom paid their dollar and went to
see the show. By the efforts of the
school children who took part in the
concert, a considerable number of tick-ets-were-sold,_—Fhe—-parents—of-the
children also took a lively interest in
the affair, buying tickets for themselves
and selling some to their friends, and
putting all together with the amount
taken in at the door, quite a large sum
of money was obtained. The concert
throughout was tedious. The children,
however, did as well as could be expected of them, but the “eminent singers and musicians” failed to appear,
and the thing proved on its face to be
a huge swindle. But the Dadleys and
the ‘morning paper” had succeeded.
The Dudleys had contracted a number
of bills for various things, amounting
to some hundreds of dollars, and as the
thing. was a success, of course all the
creditors were jolly ; but now & change
has come over their merry faces. ‘The
Dudley brothers cannot be found. They
have fled,and with them the results
from the hard labors of editors, bill
posters, job printers, parents, children,
Musicians and others. Let every community look out for these swindlers.
Tue California Silk Factory in the
city of San Francisco, is speedily. approaching completion. The roof is
now being put on. The engine and
oiler are being set up. The machinery was contracted to be furnished by
Eastern manufacturers. It is understood that there is a strong probability
that the factory will be in a producing
condition within a period of from sixty
to eighty days.
Cars BURNED.—Several box cars,
left standing for a long time near
‘Brighton, on the old Fi reeport Railroad
(dead track) were set 6n fire last Sunday evening and cunsumed. It is reported that parties thereabouts set fire
to them as a sanitary measure, regardingthem as cars used by the Central
Pacific Railroad Company as pest
houses during the late raid of the
small pox in Sacramento,
Surr ComMPROMISED.—T he suit in the
District Court, in which Henry Odgers
and others are plaintiffs, against Peter
Cadden and others defendants, has been
amicably settled. Witnesses who were
to go to Nevada City next Friday to testify in the case, will, therefore, remain
at home. The suit involved important
mining interests, and the contestants,
like sensible men, have made up their
own judgments in the matter. So says
the Union.
THE Italians of Chicago are making
preparations to celebrate the anniversary of the discovery of America by
Christopher Columbus. As this anaiversary will occur on the 12th of October, the same people, will probably be

of, Rome by Victor Emanuel.

Grass Valley, was concluded yesterday.

No More Income Tax.— Judge
‘ftrong,.of the United Circuit Court for
Pennsylvania, has decided, in a case
recently before him, that while Congress has the right to make laws, it
has no judicial power bestowed upon
it to “construe” laws, and, inasmuch
as it did not re-enact the Income Law,
the law expired by its own limitation,
and in consequence the-collection of
the tax is unaathorized and must be refunded,
