The Sap Francisco Chronicle Blunders in Discussing Slickenw. The San Francisco Chronicle a few days ago published an editorial on the debris question in which occur a8 many misstatements and inconsistencies as a Marysville or Sacramento paper generallytmanwhen discussing this important subject. To begin with, the Chronicle asserts that “hydraulic mining, probably on a reduced scale, still goes on” in violation of the Sawyer injunction, and ‘‘the miners are making preparations for an active winter season, during which hydraulic mining will be Both assertions are devoid of truth, as every well informsection knows, and as the Chroniareliable correspondent into the mountains to investigate instead of taking the interested and unsupported evidence of the spies who are paid by the Anti-Debris Association to make a case against the miners. The Chronicle asserts that ‘‘competent engineers have reported tothe War Department that so long as hydraulic mining is continued it will be useless to expend any money in trying to improve the navigation of the Sacramento.” Why could not the Chronicle have told the entire truth and in the the same _ connection ~ admitted that other equally eminent engineers have reported that 4 practical solution of this whole difficulty can be found in building stone dams in the mountains to héld ing a comparatively inexpensive system of dredging? “Now let Congress take cognizance of this, and pass a law utterly forbidding the business of washing mountains down into the valleys and into our streams and harbors,’”’ exclaims the Chronicle. It forgets that Congress sanctioned the selling of the gravel claims to our people with the distinct understanding that these claims were to be worked by the hydraulic process and possessed no value for any other purpose. Every owner of a patented placer claim holds in his possession a certificate on which is lithographed a hydraulic mining scene, indicating that there was a clear understanding between Government and miner as to what use the ground was sold and Lought for. In conclusion our cotemporary at the ;Bay says: “The miners have shown conclusively by their inaction that their lic ens cannot be impounded successfully unless at.a cost to make hydraulicking unprofitable.” Of all the untruthful statements in the article none contain less truth’ than this. The miners long ago announced their willingness to bear half the expenses of building dams in the Yuba to stop the debris, giving bonds to cover any damage that might occur to the lower country provided the dams broke away. But the demagogues and -pettifoggers who occupy a prominent place in the Anti-Debris Association did not want to see the trouble between the valleys and mountains’ settled as quickly as this arrangemefit promised to settle it. The strife is their “‘meat?? and they have fattened upon it so long they are unconditionally opposed-to any proposition that promises to bring peace. ——— — -. +e -Supertor Court Cases Continued. Judge Walling yesterday telegraphed from Downieville to continue as follows the trial of cases pending in the Superior Court : A McShane vs. R. D. Carter. Trial continued till November 2d.

The Eureka, which has been. .idle for two or three years, is now the sole property of Hon. C. W. Cross, and he has leased it. for a period of two years to the following. named yentlemen who are all practical miners: John James, R. J: Collacott, Joseph Fouyer, Joseph Tregellis, C. B. Smith and Jobn Thomas. There are good steam ‘hoisting and pumping works on the Gold Flat Eureka mine situ. THEIR STATEMENT. A Marysville Firm’s Gold Mining Connections. White, Cooley & Cutts, the Marysville merchants who were generally supposed to have more or less money invested in hydraulic mines, although they have been very emphatic in their dntimining protestations, write a letter to the Democrat in which they say: “Neither this firm nor ‘any of its individual miembers has now, nor has it, or any of its members ever had, any interest, directly or indirectly, in the, James Arnott mine, or in any other mine worked by the hydraulic process, except that Mr. White 12 or 15 years ago owned a small amount of stock in the Enterprise mine at Smartsville’ which was disposed of long before he became a member of this firm. Now as we do not believe in quibbling, and are willing that you should know the facts concerning our business, we state further: that Mr. Arriott and Mr. White, of this firm, are old Scotch friends of long standing, and have been intimate for many years. That about two years ago Mr. Arnott. located a body of mining ground about 15 miles from Brandy City in the names of 25 persons or locators, including the ndmes of the three members of this firm. Thatit was a long time after the location before any member of’ the firm was aware that his name was used in the location, and the ‘ise of their names are undoubtedly made as an act of friendship toward Mr. White. If the firm should exercise its legal rights under that location, each member would own an individual one-twenty-fourth interest init. Now this mining ground can never be worked by hydraulic process, so called, because of its location. It has never been workedor developed, and has only been partially prospected by running a tunnel into it. If it ever can be worked it will only be by the drifting process: It can never be worked by the hydraulic process and it is still a problem whether it canbe worked as a drift mine. We have never seen this mine, nor have we ever Lad anything to do with its management, except that we have never protested against the use of our names as above set forth.” Improvements Around Town. Marshal Holbrook is having his dwelling house on Broad street repainted, and E. M. Preston’s house on East Broad street is to Jhave its appearance similarly im‘proved. A frame addition,to be used asa vestry, is being put on the rear of the Catholic Church. J. E. Brown is beautifying his house by the addition of .a large porch. © E. Bond’s new dwelling house at the junction of Nevada and Water streets is a decided ornament to that part of town. Thestone foundation for the fine house that D. E. Morgan is to build on Main street is now ready for the timbers. Harvey Cooper is having a large addition put on his house on East Broad street. E. A. Wetmore has purchased a lot on East Broad _ street,.and will erect a handsome ‘fbachelor’s home.” = A. Blumenthal’s house on Broad street is receiving its finishing touches. Elijah Booth has made his place of residence look like new by painting the house and putting a fine fence around the lot. Another house is being built on Piety Hill, and still there is room for more. The storeroom on Commercial street recently vaczted’ by Eustis « Tompkins is having. a new floor put into it and the: walls are receiving needed. repairs. Death of Mrs. Robinson. The Grass Vailey Union of yesterday says: Mrs. Robinson, relict of the late John Robinson, died at the residence of her daughter, Mrs. James Saxon, at Boston Ravine, Monday night, after an extended illness. She has been a r-sident of this county for many years. She leaves a daughter, Mrs. James Saxon, and a son, Joseph Pierce. = Fresh Fish! Fresh Fish! Fresh Fish received every Thurs‘day evening.

Purses to the amount of nearly $2,000 are offered and the liberality of these will bring together the best travelers on the Coast in the classes that are to compete. There will be two regular events each day, besides such special ones as may be arranged, and they will attract large crowds of spectators. Entries can be made up to the 24th instant, and those sent by mail should be addressed to Wil lard Gardner of this city. The track has been much improved since the Fair of last month, and will be in the finest of condition at the time the races begin. c Health Giving Sunlight. . The Oakland Tribune gives this wholesome advice to its readers,
and the remarks will apply just as well tothe residents of Nevada City or any other part of the State : If the people of Oakland understood the laws of health they would cut down every shade tree around their dwellings. Shade trees have done much to make our wives and daughters pale, feeble and neuralgic. Trees never ouglit to stand so near our dwellings as to casta shade on them. Who has not read Florence Nightingale’s observations in the Crimea as between the shady and sunny side of the hospitals? In St. Petersburg the shady side ofa large hospital was so notoriously ~ unfavorable to the numer&us sick soldiers that the Czar decreed its disuse. The piazzas which project over the lower story always make it less healthful than the ‘upper story, and says Dr. Lewis: “‘T have cured many cases of rheumatism by advising patients to leave bedrooms shaded by trees or piazzas and sleepin rooms con=. stantly dried and purified by the direct rays of the sun.’ Expensive Pleasure Ride. The pair of Grass Valley sirens who last Sunday afternoon recklessly drove their double carriage into Mrs. R. Williams’ buggy, upsetting the latter vehicle and causing the lady’s arm to be broken, were arrested Tuesday on charges of battery and malicious mischief. They cried bitterly when ° officer Scott served the warrants, declaring that the collision was entirely unintentional and that had they known the serious consequences of it to Mrs. Williams they would have stopped their team as soon as it occurred and made all possiblereparation. Yesterday afternoon they came tothe county seat and importuned Mrs. Williams to have the charges dismissed. She consented to do so, whereupon they paid her $5 for the damage done to her buggy and settled the costs ‘in’ Justice Sowden’s court amounting to $22. r Major Dane Coming: The Native Sons at Tuesday evening’s meeting of Hydraulic Parlor decided to engage Major Henry C. Dane to deliver a lecture at the Theatre in this city on Wednesday evening, November 4th. Thesubject upon which this eloquent lecturer will speak is ““A Summer in Greece,’’ which is one of his newest and most able efforts. The sale of tickets, which can be obtained from members of the Parlor and at various business places, will be commenced today, the prices of admission being fixed at 50 cents for adults and 25 cents for children. The net proceeds of the lecture are to bé applied toward fitting up a Native Sons’ reading room and library at this city. =e A New Departure. The Central and Southern Pacific Company have this week taken a new departure which will be hailed with delight by third class passengers, The third class or emigrant cars now form the tail end of the express train and go through to Ogden on mail time. The Union Pacific Company and its connections have run third class cars on express trains fof some time, and the Central Company are thus falling ,into line.

" Receptive Frauds. As soon as it became apparent that Moses King, the young publisher, of Harvard square, at Cambridge, Mass., had met an unprecedented success with his book called ‘Students’ Songs’””—the sale already reaching nearly fifty thousand copies—several publishers brought out collections of so-called student or college songs. Some of them are legitimate competitors; but some appear so similar in shape, in title, in design or general make-up, as tb mislead a casual buyer who may be intending to get a copy of the original’ “Students’ Songs,’”’ which -was edited by Wm. H. Hills, of the Harvard cluss of 1880, and published by Moses King of the Harvard class of 1881, the names of both appearingjon the title page of the gentine collection only. The success of this collection is due chiefly to the freshness of its sixty copyrighted songs ; comprising those jolly and melodious tunes and peculiar phrases which, within the past ten years, have arisen and become generally popular among the students of all American colleges. The low price, too —fifty cents—and the attractive appearance, also, have had their influence in making ‘Students’ Songs’ the’ most successful book of its class ever published in this country. re Shades of ’49, Defend us! It is contended by the Louisville Courier Journal that the derivation of the word ‘“‘pioneer’” is not given correctly in the dictionaries. Itthinks the work originatedin this way: In the mining camps of California in ’49 the miners ate from tin plates, which were fastened to the table. Sometimes; when one of these plates became empty, a miner would call out, ‘‘Pie-on-here! Pie-on-here!”’ From this the miners came‘to be known as _ pie-on-heres, or pioneers. eS . Putin Possession. Sheriff Lord yesterday put J. & J. Weissbein in possession of the A. G. Peterson ranch seven miles below Grass Valley, the Superior Courthaving declared them entitue of an attachment for the nonpayment ofa note. The parties tled to the ownership of it by vir-]° General Mining Notes, The Mayflower gravel. mine at Forest Hill, Placer county, is looking well. A bedrock tunnel to be a mile long has just been started. It is stated that $100,000 has been refused for the “Stonewall mine in Julian district, San Diego county. A vein of rich ore two feet wide is said to have been cut at a depth of thirty-five feet from the surface in the Nevada mine at Tuscarora. . The old mining camp of Sprucemont, White Pine county, Nev., is coming to the front again. At least such is the report. The first engine ever used on a mine at Calico has just been put up. Over $2,000,000 in bullion has been produced there, and no hoisting apparatus other than a common wirdlass has been used. The black sand mines on the coast of Southern Oregon are attracting much attention at present. Some more ‘‘new processes’? have been discovered for separating the gold from the sand. Everybody knows that the ‘sand has ‘‘millions in it” if itcan only be got out. A new mining district has been formed on the north side ofthe San Joaquin river, Fresno county. It is called Jackass Gulch Mining District, and James Daly has been elected Recorder. There are a number of promising looking quartz ledges in the district and prospecting is going on at a lively rate. ° ——-o—>e A QUEER taste must’ prevail in San Bernardino. The ‘‘Morning Hour’’ of that city, referring to the horse races there last Sunday, says : ‘‘A large number of ladies were present, dressed in beautiful and tasteful costumes, giving an additional attraction and charm to the lively scene.” —— BROWS, NUTT LT to recover the ownership of the ranch. A SENSATIONAL story is. published in New York of the matrimonial experience of Mrs. Samantha Goode, who recently married her son without knowing it. Upon discovering their mistake, they fled in opposite directions. The bridegroom ,is Harrison Turner, who amassed a fortune in California. “Tue mistake I made in running for President was like running against, a stone wall,’’? says Butler.
