Robbing Nevada County. . partment of Highways is a rather lengthy document, filled with much of detail, and conveying to the Legislature a great deal of. information and many suggestions of profound interest to the friends of improved highway Among other things, an interesting table is presented for each county in the State, showing what each has in the last eight years expended for lumber and bridge work and what the probable-cost has been for bridges and culverts. ‘The totals. make a very significant showing: bridge work, $1,590,898. Total, $2,308,. 717. Probable total cost, $3,338,751. But twelve of the counties are omitted, data not being obtainable, and in two or three other cases but partial data was to be had. This very fact illustrates the loose way in which matters have been allowed to run. The Commissioness sharply criticise the meth. ods of business in the counties in this respect and add: _“To correct this. condition of affairs it is necessary to call in some official whose business it is to know more about bridge building, the economic use of materials, their strength and ‘cost, than the Boards of Snpervisors— for, however broad may be. their general knowledge and experience, their business training is not such as to develop that skill which it is the business of an engineer to acquire. Consequently, they are frequently misled in the selection of materials and in the cost of highway structures.” The deduction from all these inn ings are: First—That there is "unaccountable variation in the cast of bridge structures. aa ou Second—That where trained technical skill has been employed the cost has been reduced by more than half. The story is told how in Yolo county in 1895 it cost by contract $5,900 to construct two spaus of bridge of 100 feet each while the County Surveyor built right by the side of that bridge and adjoining a single span of the same kind of bridge for $1,685. A lighter bridge of the same style cost Nevada county by contract for the same span $2,650. But San Diego county. built a five-span bridge, with four feet wider roadway, same gpap, for $971 a span. Itis added that there is no appreciable reason why there should be such difference between the cost of the same: order of bridges in the several counties, This subject is dwelt upon and. other examples given of wide difference of cost which cannot be accounted for on any other ground than this, that in the economic instances engineering skill was employed, and in the costly instances it was ignored. The Nevada county bridges all show an excess of cost, say the Commissioners. it takes one us an example, of 126 feet. span, 14 foot roadway, to carry 1,400 pounds to the lineal foot, which cost $6,248, when its duplicate can be placed for $2,500, according to the department estimates. The Downieville bridge of steel cost $5,570. It is 150 feet long, 12 foot roadway, rests on 30inch steel cylinders, 9 feet elevation, ;and has 80 feet of appraches, All the material had to be transported over rough mountain roads, with steep grades. -Yet that bridge cost less than the 126 foot span with no approaches in Nevada county. Another bridge in Nevada, is cited of 144 foot steel span, 18 foot roadway, 48 feet of approaches, and resting on cylinder piers. It cost the county $3,473 more than the steel span of the Downieville bridge. A case in Shasta is cited where a steel -bridge cost the county the excessive sum of $6,200 a span, and it is a very light bridge at that. An instance is ‘also given of excessive bridge cost in Sacramento county, as compared with bridge building in Yolo county under direction, of the County Surveyor. of Napa county toshow their economy, as compared with steel or wooden or other bridges, and what has been saved in that county by employing technical . Skill and permanent materials. It is; . added right there that no reform in road building need be expected until . stract! ion, irrespective of poles fait h.

Yesterday’s Colfax Sentinel, says‘ The condition of Henry Disque, of Colfax, who suffered a dislocated back and other injuries from the explosion of a Southern Pacific freight engine, which wrecked the Faller hotel, is: improving rapidly. Mr. Disque has been confined to his bed since the date of the explosion, which occtrred July 22nd, 1898. Of late he has been able to walk about the house some with the aid of crutches. Last week he received a jacket made with strong steel supports. On Monday he was able to walk without the aid of crutches or cane. Mr. Disque has lost much strength from his long siege in bed, but his back gives him no pain at present, His friends will be pieased to learn that he will soon be enjoying a fair condition of health and comfort. + ote A’*Romance. of Socks. A story is told of an old bachelor who bought a pair of socks, and found attached to one of them a slip of paper with these words: “lama young lady of 20 and would like to correspond with a bachelor with a view to matrimony.” Name and address were given. The bachelor wrote, and in a few days got this letter: “Mamma was married 20 yearsago. The merchant you bought those socks from evidently did not advertise or he would have sold them long ago. Mamma handed me your letter and said possibly I might suit you. I am 18 years old.” a Brought Back For: Horse Stealing. Deputy Sheriff R. D. Lawrey, of Grass . Valley, got home last evening from Humboldt couaty, bringing Edward Holman and William Gibson, who were arrested at Fortuna for stealing a horse last summer from the ranch of Postmaster Wm. George where they had had been sold. The prisoners, both of difficulty in breathing. been working. Officer Lawrey also se. skilled men are brought to such con-. cured the horse, saddle and bridle from . the party at Fortuna to whom they a. great quantity of gold nuggets te ber husband and son brought’ down from. their mine in this county. The ‘other papers reproduced this yarn with all sorts of variations. The cir‘cums Bigelow, who had just gone down from this county with his son Garrett, who isa student in the State University, went to. bed. His wife was disrobing when she was seized with a coughing and cHoking spell. Mr. Bigelow sprang to her and called to his son who ran after a physician: fore the doctor arrived on the scene the lady was dead. She had long been troubled with heart disease, and frequently had Two years ago she went to Oakland by the advice of physicians who said she would be much better there than at the high altitude of this county. Mr. Bigelow continued to make Columbia Hill his home most of the time, in order that he might look after his store and other property in that locality. A ‘few few months ago he was made superint4endeut of the Delhi quartz mine and recently completed the work of putting that claim in shape to start up again. 'The nugget story was the invention of an imaginative reporter who was thirsting for a scoop. SeWhy Bigelow Quit the Deihi. A. 8. Bigelow has resigned the superintendency of the Delhimine. It is not known who his successor will be. Mr. Bigelow, who left for Oakland today and does not know when he will return, to Nevada county,says he quit the Delhi because some of the stockholders had ‘asserted that the mill reeently constructed had cost too much and blamed him for it, when in reality he did not have charge of its construction. He says some remarkably rich ore has been developed in the mine and awaits extraction: He'believes it is destined to become one of the big properties of the county. At the Churches Tomorrow.

The story is told how in Yolo county in 1895 it cost by contract $5,900 to construct two spaus of bridge of 100 feet each while the County Surveyor built right by the side of that bridge and adjoining a single span of the same kind of bridge for $1,685. A lighter bridge of the same style cost Nevada county by contract for the same span $2,650. But San Diego county. built a five-span bridge, with four feet wider roadway, same gpap, for $971 a span. Itis added that there is no appreciable reason why there should be such difference between the cost of the same: order of bridges in the several counties, This subject is dwelt upon and. other examples given of wide difference of cost which cannot be accounted for on any other ground than this, that in the economic instances engineering skill was employed, and in the costly instances it was ignored. The Nevada county bridges all show an excess of cost, say the Commissioners. it takes one us an example, of 126 feet. span, 14 foot roadway, to carry 1,400 pounds to the lineal foot, which cost $6,248, when its duplicate can be placed for $2,500, according to the department estimates. The Downieville bridge of steel cost $5,570. It is 150 feet long, 12 foot roadway, rests on 30inch steel cylinders, 9 feet elevation, ;and has 80 feet of appraches, All the material had to be transported over rough mountain roads, with steep grades. -Yet that bridge cost less than the 126 foot span with no approaches in Nevada county. Another bridge in Nevada, is cited of 144 foot steel span, 18 foot roadway, 48 feet of approaches, and resting on cylinder piers. It cost the county $3,473 more than the steel span of the Downieville bridge. A case in Shasta is cited where a steel -bridge cost the county the excessive sum of $6,200 a span, and it is a very light bridge at that. An instance is ‘also given of excessive bridge cost in Sacramento county, as compared with bridge building in Yolo county under direction, of the County Surveyor. of Napa county toshow their economy, as compared with steel or wooden or other bridges, and what has been saved in that county by employing technical . Skill and permanent materials. It is; . added right there that no reform in road building need be expected until . stract! ion, irrespective of poles fait h.

Yesterday’s Colfax Sentinel, says‘ The condition of Henry Disque, of Colfax, who suffered a dislocated back and other injuries from the explosion of a Southern Pacific freight engine, which wrecked the Faller hotel, is: improving rapidly. Mr. Disque has been confined to his bed since the date of the explosion, which occtrred July 22nd, 1898. Of late he has been able to walk about the house some with the aid of crutches. Last week he received a jacket made with strong steel supports. On Monday he was able to walk without the aid of crutches or cane. Mr. Disque has lost much strength from his long siege in bed, but his back gives him no pain at present, His friends will be pieased to learn that he will soon be enjoying a fair condition of health and comfort. + ote A’*Romance. of Socks. A story is told of an old bachelor who bought a pair of socks, and found attached to one of them a slip of paper with these words: “lama young lady of 20 and would like to correspond with a bachelor with a view to matrimony.” Name and address were given. The bachelor wrote, and in a few days got this letter: “Mamma was married 20 yearsago. The merchant you bought those socks from evidently did not advertise or he would have sold them long

ago. Mamma handed me your letter and said possibly I might suit you. I am 18 years old.” a Brought Back For: Horse Stealing. Deputy Sheriff R. D. Lawrey, of Grass . Valley, got home last evening from Humboldt couaty, bringing Edward Holman and William Gibson, who were arrested at Fortuna for stealing a horse last summer from the ranch of Postmaster Wm. George where they had had been sold. The prisoners, both of difficulty in breathing. been working. Officer Lawrey also se. skilled men are brought to such con-. cured the horse, saddle and bridle from . the party at Fortuna to whom they a. great quantity of gold nuggets te ber husband and son brought’ down from. their mine in this county. The ‘other papers reproduced this yarn with all sorts of variations. The cir‘cums Bigelow, who had just gone down from this county with his son Garrett, who isa student in the State University, went to. bed. His wife was disrobing when she was seized with a coughing and cHoking spell. Mr. Bigelow sprang to her and called to his son who ran after a physician: fore the doctor arrived on the scene the lady was dead. She had long been troubled with heart disease, and frequently had Two years ago she went to Oakland by the advice of physicians who said she would be much better there than at the high altitude of this county. Mr. Bigelow continued to make Columbia Hill his home most of the time, in order that he might look after his store and other property in that locality. A ‘few few months ago he was made superint4endeut of the Delhi quartz mine and recently completed the work of putting that claim in shape to start up again. 'The nugget story was the invention of an imaginative reporter who was thirsting for a scoop. SeWhy Bigelow Quit the Deihi. A. 8. Bigelow has resigned the superintendency of the Delhimine. It is not known who his successor will be. Mr. Bigelow, who left for Oakland today and does not know when he will return, to Nevada county,says he quit the Delhi because some of the stockholders had ‘asserted that the mill reeently constructed had cost too much and blamed him for it, when in reality he did not have charge of its construction. He says some remarkably rich ore has been developed in the mine and awaits extraction: He'believes it is destined to become one of the big properties of the county. At the Churches Tomorrow.
