We copy the following from the Demo~ crat of Monday: “Last week the Democrat contained an article in which. the contest for the Examiner cup and the Chronicle vase was called a farce and fraud, stating that. these journals were sold by the thousands for the coupons. The Nevada City TRANSCRIPT copied the article and added the following: “The statement is false that anyone in or out of Nevada county is buying up extra copies of any of the above-named journals. In the same issue appeared the following lgcal item, which sounds different from the above brief statement: “The Transcript sent by this morhing’ 8 mail to San ,Francisco nine hundred and fifty-nine mineral coupons to be voted for Nevada county. Last week the TranscripT sent eleven hundred and ninety-five making a total in two weeks of two thousand, one hundred and fifty-four.” This item proves that the’ statement, we made was true.” What nonsense.

Resume and History of the Company. 2 The South Yuba Water Company has prepared a pamphlet of the history and resources of its company, and through the book are many illustrations of the lakes covered by this corporation. The facts are interesting and shew what extensive operations have been done by the use of water stored in the mountains. We glean the following facts from: the booklet : It. furnishes water for irrigation, for municipal, supply and for the various uses of power ; the range of its operations covers the larger partof Nevada and Placer counties. Its natural resources are the local rivers and creeks, and back of these. the melting snows of the Sierra Nevadas, “The company’s watershed—an area of 150 square miles—lies about the sources of the South Yuba, part beneath the crest of the Sierra Nevada. The entire available sup— ply of the watershed is probably not less than two hundred billions of gallons.and is ample for all likely future needs of -the Company on the most ambitious estimates. ; The storage reserviors of the Seuth Yuba are fifteen i in number and are of great size Peaceful Denver. The hullabaloe raised over the Fire and Police Board of Denver is in a way of peaceful settlement, having been trasferred te the court, The wrath of Governor Waite has subsided and reason is once moré supreme.

Ithas a capacity in gallens of 340,000,000. Six miles to the east, White Rock lake contributes its waters te Fordyce through the North Fork of the South Yuba. “Its dam cost $5,000. It has a capacity of 255,000,000. Lost River and Mossy Pond lake lie to the south of Fordyce. Still further to the south are found the three Peak lakes, which pour their waters into Spaulding, through the south fork of the South Yuba. Fall Creek lakes, six in number, lie on northerly branches of the South Yuba and The two principal ones are Upper Carr and Upper Culbertson, Capacity in galfons is 1,020,000,000. The dam is 290 feet leng, 67 high and 67 deep ; and the outlet is by a tunnel cut through @ solid point ef rock, with two waste weirs each 120 feet long. The area is 215 rcres and the capacity over.2,000 .millions-of gallons, ‘The-entire capacity uf all these storage basins is thus 12,325 millions of-gallons, — The canal system of the South Yuba Water Company is very large,. forming a net work over Nevada and Placer counties and meastires nearly 400 miles of distance. The Main Canal penetrates a mile of tunneling in all and it is said to have cost adventurous mipers-who built it $600,000. These canals are-forty-thtee in number and cover a length in*miles 380,375. There are eleven distributing reservoirs, These are small and not in any wise elaborate ; but in the aggregate they represent a considerable investment of capitol. They are as follows; Alta, Chalk Bluff, Leonard, Alta Hill, Manzanita, Blue Lent, Ridge, Auburn,, Loomis, Leomis (second) Camp Far West. Alta Hill, in Grass Valley, has an elevation of 2,700 feet and a capacity in gallons of 550,000 The Company owns several thousand acres of land. The most choice of all these possessions ig the Bear Valley ranch, This consists of nearly 1,000 acres. The fall in elevation between Bear Valicy and the lowest terminal is over 4,000 feet and; in many places the gtade drops so abruptly as to furnish power in large amount to Nevada City and GrassValley and Powder Works at Clipper Gap. With a slight incréase in capacity of the two canals at Newcastle, 2,000 horse power can be developed and 1,000 goes to waste several miles beyond toward the northeast. At Cape Hern two miles abeve Colfax, a drop of over 1,000 feet inside of one mile of distance renders possible the development of almest limitless power. The large mills at Grass Valley and N vada City new using their water power se port that the expense is but little over onethird the cost of steam power.

The girl was in more cheerful spirits-yesterday, and said she thanked God that she was stillalive. She says now that she wants to live, and that she is sorry she attempted to take her life. She said to her nurse yesterday morning, ‘Oh, Iwas so desperate, and I thought I must die to get out of my misery. It seemed that everybody had turned against me, and there was nothing for me to live for any longer.”’ Miss Marker was taken to-the home of Policeman Dillman, where she is now resting comfortably.

Not Fatally injured, Ruth Marker, who attempted suicide last Sunday by shooting herself under the heart, was gfeatly improved yesterday, and Dr. George Ogden is now hopeful of saving. her life.

The bullet which passed through her body shattered a rib bene a portion of which adhered to the lead was picked wp. The girl was in more cheerful spirits-yesterday, and said she thanked God that she was stillalive. She says now that she wants to live, and that she is sorry she attempted to take her life. She said to her nurse yesterday morning, ‘Oh, Iwas so desperate, and I thought I must die to get out of my misery. It seemed that everybody had turned against me, and there was nothing for me to live for any longer.”’ Miss Marker was taken to-the home of Policeman Dillman, where she is now resting comfortably.
