That a road will be necessary, all agree, but that it is better to byild one on the proposed{ line, we are not so certain. In fact we. believe a better course to pursue is for the people of San Juan and this place to improve the road:-leading from both places_to Pardon’s grade over the Yuba, and allow him. to improve his road, as he proposes. and is willing todo. The section on this end, which our citizens would have to build, would not cost more than $3,000 to put it in splendid eondition, and the other end would cost less than $2,000. Mr. Purdon will change his grade and make it wide enough for the largest teams to’ pass each other. The distance will be shorter than by the proposed new Ar route, and easier to go over. All the distance traveled south from French ‘Corral, on the proposed route, will be down hill, which will have to be made up in coming to this place from the crossing over the Yuba,_Purdon will goto work _im-. proving his road as soon as there is @ prospect of travel going that. way. We hope some one interested will look over this route and make an accurate estimate of the cost. It would seem that twenty-five years’ travel from San Juan ‘to this place. en one road, would demonstrate that there was no better route, or people would have traveled it before this time, tan examination be made at once. Grass Valley Items. ‘Wecondense the following items fromthe Grass Valley Unien of yesterday: Yesterday; near the hour of noon, the soot in the smoke stack at the Kentucky hoisting works burned out. The engineer in charge discovered the fire on the shed, and was putting it out when Mr. Matt Tracy opportunely arrived. Tracy and others went to work with such meéans as they could command, and subdued the flames, When the fire “was seen the engineer prcmptly sounded the gong forthe miners to come up the shaft, but as it was near noon they tvok it to be the dinner hour and made no extra haste in ascending. By the time they reached the eurface the fire was subdued, and all danger past. A youth named Johnny Williams, aged 18 or 19 years, was arrested and examined yesterday by Justice Davis on the charge of robbery. This —.§athe case which occurred on Auburn street, when.a Chinaman disarmed the man wlio assaulted him. Thy” person who drew the pistol was Johnny Williams. His statement is that he ran against the Chinaman waintentionally in the dark; that the ‘Obimaman then assaulted him, whereupon he drew his pistol {to defend himself, and ran away. bome ' to escape injury. After hearing the evidence on both sides, the Justice held Williams under a bond of $1,000 to appear before the Grand Jaay. ; Constable Montgomery arrested two Chinamen yesterday who: are charged with assault and battery up0m.

The entire length of the ditches ownediby the company is about 300 miles. These ditches afford between 5,000 and 6,000 inches of water every 10 hours, ‘and considerable of it is sold twice over. It is probable that the net receipts from the sale of the same to miners, will reach over $1,000 pet day when it is sold. There is one grand trunk canai, commencing near the summit of the Sierra Nevada mountains, and following the ridge, continues to North San Juan, a distance of about 65 wmiles. This ditch receives ita water from several reservoirs, the principal ones being Eureka Lake and lake Faucherie. They will supply about 3,000 inches of water all Winter; and during five or six months of the dry season. The ditch is about eight feet_wide, and over three feet deep. The company also own the miners’ ditch, which is about 26 miles in length, and will supply over :700 inches of water; the Middle Yuba canal, which is over 40 miles long and has a capacity of 1,500 inches of water; the Poorman’s Creek ditch, + which is 22 miles long, with a capacity of over 300 inches;.the Grizzly ditches, the Spring Creek ditches, and several ovhers, the names of which we did not learn, all of which . originally cost in the neighborhood enough such dirt to grade the whole .county in afew years. The amount of taoney which will be taken ont of this mine when it gets. in operation, ought to satisfy the desires of the Will be nearly all profit; for a dozen men can use five thousand itiches of water with ease, unless the character of the ground changes wonderfully. We passed over the property owned by this company véry hurriedly, and if space would permit, we could write a week about what little we noticed. It would take a month's careful observation for a stranger to obtain any correct idea of the same; of its magnitude, of its value present and ‘prospective, It is now under very efficient management, and will increase in value every day it edntinprovements which the . Sapexintendor two he bas had control of the property, whieh adds thousands in value= for every dollar “expended. One of them was s the tunneling under ) Weawer Lake, as was fully deseribed in a late number of this paper. The work cost six or seven thousand dollars, abd the sale of the extra water this season alone will amount to between twelve and fifteen thousund dollars, The same supply will be furnished each year as lofig as water is needed in the country below. We should be pleased to give further items of interest connected with this property, bul space forbids.ter will be’ @apéble of running off "The Resignation of Mr, Delome. ues so, Theresare dozens of iment his inafiguéated during the year . fs the Demoeratic. beeause Seereresignation was accepted. We do aot know whether this rejoicing proceeds from the fact that a corrupt ‘man has been removed from effice, or whether it is from the fact that a Republican Administration has had a corrupt officer. Whether Delano is better ur worse than those have been who have occupied the same position during the last. quarter of a century, We will not pretend to assert. One thing we do know, there has been equal if not greater canse “of. complaint during that time. We hope the investigating eommittes will siftthe matter to the bottom, and if their verdict proves the eharges made.are true, -we.too—will rejoice with our cotemporaries. Ro . Waar Came or Manrryrxc His Housexeerger.—A few months since a wealthy and reputable gentleman residing in Oakland, became so much impressed with the comely appearance and amiable disposition of a young woman whom he had employed as housékeeper, that he was constrained to -establish her engagement on a firmer basis by proposing mariage, The offer was accepted, the union consummated, and, everything was very lovely for a short time, until the reekless extravagance of the ew miade wife caused the husband some uneasiness,.and the drain upon his coffers! was very heavy. This delightful but expensive different companies, butin 1865 were consolidated, and became the property of the present company. The company bave a perpetual right to all this water, and a section of over 200 square miles of rich mining ground to supply. The company have usually sold all their water to mine owners, but during the past two years the present Superintendent, Mr. R. McMurray, has secured rich mining ground sufficient to use all the supply afforded, if net an inch is old to. other parties. The water supply is a perpetual fortune, but the mines owned by the company equal it in value. At Relief Hill they have a large claim, which has been successfully worked for years. At North Bloomfield, adjoining the “North Bloomfield hydraulic mine, and on the same rich channel, they own 700 es; at Moore's Flat, one of the proprietors, Marks Zellerback, owns some \rich and extensive mines, but the most valuable ground—in our’ opinion owned by the company is at Columbia Hill. The ground is located on the same -channel as the North Bloorafield mine. The ground,from the surface down, pays largely, and there is enough of it to last fifty years if ths fastest work is done on it during that whole time.— There are in the claim about 1,500 acres. Itextends on the line of “the channel a distance of 24% miles, and is from one-fourth of a mile to a mileinwidth. The depth to bed roek averages from 150 to 400 feet, and as far down as it has been washed, there is not a particle of pipe’ clay or hardly a rockto) make it expensive working. On the east end of the claim there has been perhaps & hundred acres of the ground worked to a depth of about 75 feet, when work was suspended for want of fall:, When MoMurray took charge of the company’s business, they owned about 109 acres on the hill. He at once commenced negotiations with diferent owners paying them generally very satisfactory prices for their claims, until the present body of ground was secured, About $120,000 wav expended in the different purchases. A tunnel has been commenced which will-ram into the Western portion of the mine known as the €entral and Western claims, which will allow them to be worked to » depth of 260 feet. Itismow completed a distance of 900 faet,and it will have to be run 1,250 further before finished. It is being run at the rate of 125 feet ® month,s0 it will all be completed in ten months. A flume hes been constructed from Spring Crek into the eastern portion of the ground, which is 4,600 feet long, eight feet wide allow the eastern half of the mine to be worked to a depth of 150 feet below the present grade, or when ii banks are composed of fine gravel } without any pipe clay to bother, A of $1,500,000, They were built by} Ezra 8.Carr aated at Rensselaer Polytechnic ol of New York in. 1838, and‘ was thereafter employed in that same State forfour years in the State Geological Survey, an assistant to Professors Hall and Vanuzem. That he was an earnest and enthusiastic student appears in the reports of that survey, the most thorough and important in its results of any which has yet been made, end also in the fact that he parsued his medical studies during those years and was duly graduated at 23 yearsof age and appointed a Professor of Chemistry and Pharmacy in the Castleton Medical College, Vermont, a position which he held for twelve years, _ During several years he held the same Professorship in the Philadelphia Medica) College, alternating between the two institutions, He received honorary degrees from Williams and Middlebury Colleges, aud was acting Professor of Natural Sciences in the latter in 1853-4, In 1854-he was-ap-. pvinted Professor of Chemistry and Phermacy in the Albany Medical Callege, New York, and Professer of ti in its applications to agriculture and the arts in the University, and also chemist of the State Agricultural Society. The records of the University of Vermont show that he was tendered a Profedsorship in that ins.itution during the same year. Rémoving to Albany he immediately o & course of scientific lectures for mechanics and workingmen, which \ were so useful and 80 largely attended as to draw public interest and benefactions to the institution. In Dr. Carr was induced to ge West by the ap. pointment of a double chain of general chemistry and natural history, and of chemistry applied to alture, in the University of Wisconsin, He likewise was appointed a missioner of the State Geological Survey. He drew ‘the bill for the survey, organized it, and enriched the Univermty by making a complete . collection of the soil, minerals and economic products of the State. The cabinet'thus formed: is one 6f-the most complete in the West. After eleven years. service in Wisconsin, with three years duty as Professor of Chemistry, in the Rush Medical College, Chicago, he resigned in 1868, and took a year’s vacation in California, where he had many old students and friends. The service and usefulness of Professor Carr in this State, and his connection as California, are well known. His work outside of this in teachers’ institutes and popular science. served the cause of education in the State Unipipe running a thousaad inches of wa. association, however, was of brief duration, as the young wife took her departure by the last steamer to Panama, attended by a gentleman who lately carried on a drinking saloon on Market street. The deluded husband has since ascertained that this pair of schemers came to the city together, and that he was made the principal victim of their enterprise. -' This piece of matrimonial experience cost the Oakland gentleman some thousands of dollars, and the investment,'of course; is a dead loss. Tue Geear Sxwine Macurne May. —It is said that Isaac M. Singer, the sewing machine man, has left a fortune of nineteen millions of dollars —fifteen millions in the United States and four millions im Europe. During the last twenty-five years: of © his life he spent a great deal of money but he made a greatdeal more. The magnificence of his estate forms a striking contrast with the poverty aad privation in which he began. At one time he was a strolling actor . in the West, and after he had left that profession and invented his sewing machine, he was in such a state of destitution that one day. he only had sixpence left in the world. After much déliberation he bought himself a dinner of pork and beans at Sweeney's with this money, and with the viger derived from this nourisling repast he went on to sceumulate the nineteen millions he has left to his heirs.eo Tus is what a correspondent relates about Mme. Bonaparte Ratazzi: One Winter she went to Nice. A public ball. was given. She entered one drawingroom. Every lady quitted it for another room. She went to court, but nobody talked with her except “‘fast men’’ and public funetionaries whe were obliged to do so, Their cold tone was more offensive een silence had been. = ELANO’s Svucozssor. — Deacon a Smith, of the Cincinnati , is spoken of as the probaestor of Mr. Delano should that gentleman resign his Cabinet office, Deacon would be a great ornament to Cabinet and a great help to the. tion.
