MOST PERFECT MADE.,.
Two Victories Von
Ust Debris Decisions in
te. U5, Circuit Curt
_—_—
In the United States Circuit Court at
San Francisco, yesterday morning, two
important mining decisions were. rendered.
In the case of the United States vs.
the North Bloomfield Mining Company
of this county, to restrain defendant
from dumping debris into the South
Yuba river (which stream is a branch of
the Sacramento river), his honor found
for defendant. He holds that where debris is properly impounded, as this mine
was shown in the hearing to have done,
the law has been complied with.
For several years past the mine has
been worked by the elevator process,
the water coming out of it after the
gtavel was washed down from the banks
being impounded in large. reservoirs,
where it was‘ permitted to’ stand till}
most of the sand and earth it carried
had sunk to the bottom, and_ from
which it passed but slightly tinged in
color and, carrying no appreciable
amount of the debris. On numerous
occasions has the company been brought
into court and fined for alleged conte mpt
of the injunction issued long ago to prevent it from tailing into a public a
way. All of this time it has been conscientiously endeavering to obey the
spirit as well as the letter of the law,
and the Transcripr has maintained
from the first that with a fair interpretation of the evidence and the law it
would have been found to be operating
legally. That Judge Gilbert has considered the proof without prejudice and
has been governed by the cold law in his
findings, is apparent from the result.
This is a decision of the utmost importance to hydraulic gold mining in
California. It )virtually declares that
industry a legal one when it is legally
conducted, while on the other hand the
late Judge Sawyer as good as outlawed
it, regardless of the conditions under
which it sought to exist. It has all
along been common belief in this part of
the State that so long as Sawyer roemained on the bench and had the dispowould be no hope for the rehabilif&tion
of hydraulicking in any form; and it
was further believed that should he
cease to preside in the auits they would
be differently deteriained by whoever
might succeed him. The outcome ao
far seems to have justified those belief,
The second debris ease decided yesterday was in Judge Hawley’s depart.
ment, and was substantially to the effect
that the hydraulic mines on the Feather
river may operate by impounding their
slickens after the fashion of the North
Bloomfiéld Company, This they can
and will do. :
Taken all around, the outlook for the
hydraulic miners is improving daily:
And what is for his good is for the good
of the whole country, for there is no
branch of mining ‘that can when fairly
treated and protected in its rights give
employment to more. men or add more
largely to the nation's material wealth.

THE BRUNSWICK MINE.
Mining Proposition.
There is a mine in Grass Valley called
the Brunswick. The stock is owned
principally in New. York.. When the
New Yorkers invested in it they thought
amine inGrass Valley meant nothing
more nor less than a fortune to each of
them. No good news came from the
mine after they had put their coin inte
it, and the stock was being peddled out
at a few cetits a share. They got disgusted
and sent an expert out to investigate. That
investigation went on for about ten days
and the expert went to the telegraph
office to notify the New Yorkers that
that there was nothing in the mine, no
quartz ledge or any sign ofcne; that the
ground was more suitable for a cabbage
orchard than anything else. It was true
that the mine was in the vicinity of
the famous Idaho, which had yielded its
millions, but the Brunswick was not -in
it., The expert concluded tinally that he
would wait a dayor two longer before
making his report and see what the men
would bring forth by hard work in developing the mine, The next day to his
astonishment a ledge was found, the expert telegraphed the prospect was good
for a big mine, and now the New Yorkers
are willing and eager to put up cain to
prospect the property i a thorough
manner.

The Prospect is Now Good ~for a big
They Cured Him.
Mail carriers are sometimes prone te
make mistakes, just as other people are.
Not only in their business, for that occuis often With the most careful, but
someiimes socially,
It wis only & few evenings ago that
one of the East End mail boys made
such @ mistake socially as to place him
ina ridiculous manner before the few
friends who have. learned of this mistake.
For some time past Uncle Sam’s agent
hasbeen paying moticeable attention to
one.of East End's fair belles, that is, in
an indirect and seemingly unconcerned
manner. In fact, the young lady did not
know of the intended attention until he
asked permission one day to call upon her
that evening. When he would go to the
house to deliver any letters to the young
lady he would always ask if Miss ——
was in, always using her Christian name,
and in this way he became, as he thought,
pretty well acquaintod with the object
of his affections,
The young lady was not reciprocal in
her feelings, and when she was asked to
allow him to call she hesitated somewhat, but finally said yes.
The young man was not acquainted
with the fact that this certain young
lady had a sister almost the exact image
of herself, but she knew it and was. determined that the sister should help ker
in her cleverly laid scheme—the ‘sister
should entertain the “letter carrier.”
All arrangements were made for the
evening, and when the doorbell sounded
the sister answered and the young man
was ushered into the room. He did not
detect any difference in the sister and
was not aware that he was talking with
any other girl than the one he had asked
to call upon,
The evening hours flew quickly and
he was about to depart, when he began
pouring forth some endearing terms to
the young lady, who listened atteutively
until he had finished, when, with a
smothered laugh on her face, she asked,
“It's my sister you wish to see, is it noi?”
The letter carrier was dumfounded,
He had committed hignself, and to one
wholly uninterested in the affair, He
reached for his hat and with one bound
reached the door and was soon: wandcring down the avenue beneath the electric
light. He was surely a wiser if not a
happier man’ ‘The letters are still delivered to the house, but the letter man
is scarcely ever seen, and he never asks
for Miss —~. —Pittsburg Press.
The Currant Before It Is Dried.
I must confess that I have alwivs
blindly supposed (when I thought of it
#t all) that the currant of the plum pudding was the same fruit as the currant
of our gardens—that slightly acrid red
berry which grows on bushes that folluw
the lines of back fences—bushes that
have patches of weedy ground under
them where hens. congregate. I fancied
that by some process unknown to me, at
the hands-of persons equally unknown
(perhaps those who bring flattened raisins
from grapes), these berries were dried,
and that they then became the well
known ornament of the Christmas cake.
It was at Zante that my shameful ignorance was made clear to me. Here .
learned that the dried fruit of commerce
is a dwarf grape, which has nothing in
common with currant jelly. Its English
name, currant, is taken from the French
“yaisin de Corinthe,” or Corinth grapo,
a title bestowed because the fruit wus
first brought into notice at Corinth. We
have stolen this name in the most unreasonable \ ay for our red berry, Then,
to make the confusion worse, as soon as
we have put the genuine curranta into
our puddings and cakes we turn around
and call them *‘plums!”
The real currant, the dwarf grape of
Corinth, is about as large as a gooseberry
when ripe, and its color is a deep viol t
black; the vintage takes place in Augu: ,
It is not a hardy vine. It attains luxuriance, I was told, only in‘ Greece; and
even there it is restricted to the northern
Peloponnesus, the shores of the Gulf of
Corinth, and the [Ionian islands.—Constance Fenimore Woolson in Harper's,
Strange Applications.
The Salvation Army has in London a
bureau of information, where ladies
may obtain servants and those in need
of employn at find work, It has been
extraordina ily successful. During the
first year 1,800 employers found servants, and a thousand girls applied for
work,
Strange applications come to the office.
One lady m ‘ommended her departing
servant as ‘clean, tidy, honest, sober,
truthful and 4 good worker,” Woncdering Why waid and mistress should part
under those conditions, the bureau found
that a terribiy bad temper was the cause
of separation,
“But, strangely enough,” said the
chief, “it haypened that a lady had just
applied to us for a servant with a bad
temper, believing that such girls make
the cleanest handmaids. So that we are
able to mect every requirement."—

but for the fact thatit is boiled in wax.
If used in its natural state it would
