BP = ak SS prea ie claps Sa TA, THE © TRANSCRIPT] t Setatltahed Sept. by Nat. P. iwnk Oo ‘NEVADA CITT, MEY ADA we. CALIFORNIA i ns rt Proprietor s acadiuai 31, 18966 —_—_—_— MONEY FOR MINING. How the Appropriations Are to Bs Shaped. The following will give the people of this vicinity some idea of the activity now being displayed by the Miners Association, who seek new legislation on the mining question: The act of 1898 creating the office of State “Debris: Commissioner and appropriating $250,000 for the construc‘tal tion of restraining barriers is to. be amended so as to make the like appropriation by Congress available. A ‘bill to this. effect. has been drawn by the committee on legislation of the State Miners Association, of which whe eet ee for passagé by the peasy in: his biannial message. So far as the deuris commissioner is concerned it. extends the office for four years from January 1, 1898, in order that the duties for which it.was designed may be fulfilled and excepts his salary of $300. a month and that of the secretary of the commission from authorization by the state board of examiners previous to payment. The remainder of the: bill is intended to bring the requirements of the State and Federal appropriations into accord. California set aside a quarter: of a million dollars for the restraining and’ impounding of “mining debris,” whereas the national law appropriated $250,000 for the restraining and impounding of “debris‘resulting from. mining Operations, natural erosion and other causes. The State law-will be made to conform in this and other particulars. Each appropriation is to be expended under State or national supervision, as the case, may be. The United States engineers will, however, contract for the construction of the barriers, while the State Debris Commission: will determine if the ‘works as planned are sufficient to protect the navigable waters of the State. Under these conditions the entire $500,000 will be rendered available and hydraulic mining in California will again be’ possible on}. its former gigantic scale. THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT. The hydraulic miners will offer this __ proposed amendment to section 14 Eee, Eps Ba Onn of Unesual Seeks bility and Attractiveness. Fair weather or foul Armory Hall will doubtless hold a larger crowd. of . dancers tomorrow evening that on ai y former .like..cocasion..

Green, white and golden colored bunting is being twisted, hang and formed in every conceivable ‘way tothe best advantage. A feature of the decorations will be the electrical display. The entire rear wall will be’a ground of colored*buniting, in which has ‘been set many little incandescent lamps, representing a huge semi-sun. A number of stroag incandescent lights wil! prothe wall, the rays radiating upward and the smaller lights carrying out the pretty effect.

Yesterday afternoon he struck a lively crowd who “set ‘em up” at a killing pace. Inside of 40 minutes Buzzer swallowed 21 drinks of whisky. This morning he was feeling pretty rocky, but after getting a jolt or two of whiskey he was all right again. '' Death of An Old Resident.
