Also in favor of levying a per capita tax of 50 cents upon each member of the order upon the death of a member for the purpose of paying out of the Grand Treasury a death benefit of $500 to relatives of deceased members. E. J. Casey of San Francisco miadé a lengthy address showing»the benefit of the proposition. As.author of the resolution his explanations were listened to with attention. A lengthy discussion pro and con,’ occupying half the afternoon, followed. It was finally referred to aco umittee as follows to report tomorrow morning: E. J. Casey, M. A. Dorn and J. A. Steinbach of San Francisco, Frank D. Ryan of Sacramento and E. C. Farnsworth of Jackson. ~ The remainder of the report as given above was adopted. C. B.

The majority report was then adopted. ; The Grand Parlor then adjourned. THURSDAY MORNING. On convening, Grand President Decker presiding, the special order of business was taken up, and the Parlor proceeded to discuss the matter of instituting subordinate Parlors without the houndaries-of the State. The resolution of Past President Steinbach of San Francisco was taken up. This resolution provides for the organization of Parlors providing no expense is incurred upon the Grand Parlor, except for mileage that may be incurred within the boundaries of California; that the members of such Parlors shall take an obligation that in no case, will they votein favor of holding the sessions of the Grand Parlors outside the State of California, nor under any circumstances vote to create any aathority over such Parlors except thisGrand Parlor. » Nor shall any expense be incurred in the institution of such Parlors, Grand Secretary Lundstedt moved toamend so as not to require a per capita tax and not to pay mileage. . A lengthy and eloquent discussion ensued, Past President Greeley of Marysville moved to amend to include. only the Pacific Coast States. The amendment was lost by a vote of 82 to 51. Adjourned until 1:30 o’clock. AFTERNONN SESSION. The Parlor met at 1:30 o’clock. Communications were received from Fresno requesting that the next meet" ing of the Grand Parlor be held in that place. Also from James Hopkins, Jr., of Watsonville, asking that it be held in San Francisco. Fresno was there¢ upon selected as the next place of’ meeting. The committee on Funeral Ceremony recommended that further time be granted to report, and that Rey. Carroll M. Davis of Sacramento be added to the committee. Adopted. _ The Parlor thereupon resolved itself into a committee of the whole. The recommendation of the :Trustees for an additional $5 per month towards the rent of the Grand Secretary’s “office was adopted. Also that franked envelopes be purchased and that the commiitee on printing supplies and finance committee meet jointly. Also that on future 9th of September celebrations the exercises be held at an early hour in the evening instead of in the afternoon. And against the urchase of the last Admission ay number of the Golden West, the. official _organ. Also against eo ee $1,000 for the purpose of aiding in building a monument to the memory of the founder of the order, Ger 21al, A. M. Winn. this relation a ge capita tax of 50 cents was levied upon each member of the order, payable within 90 days. The Parlor then arose and adopted the recommendations. The Committee —on Endowment Rank reported in favor of no immediate action. One re port, the majority one, recommended that a plan be formulated and submitted to the subordinate Parlors for their concurrence. The minority report, signed by E.’C: Farnsworth, of Jackson, was adverse to any endowment rank whatsoever. The minority report was adopted. The committee on badge’ reported that in their opinion it was inadvisable torecommend any official badge at this time. The committee on finance reported favorably on the recommendation of the Grand Secretary that all Parlors instituted 30 days before the semi-annual per. capita tax becomes due be liable for thesame. The committee returned the recommendation of the Grand Secretary that D. L. Fitzgerald be compensated for his services as his assistant. ° ELECTION OF GRAND OFFICERB. At the time of our going to press the following grand officers had been unanimously elected: C. H. Garoutte, Grand President; M. A. Dorn, Grand Vice President; Henry Lunstedt, Grand Secretary. : The report closes with the afternoon session. It was expected the—Grand Parlor would conclude its labors at a late hour last night. In that event it was proposed that after the banquet at the Union Hotel beginning~at 10:30 o’clock, a special train leave here for Colfax to take over those delegates who desired to connect with the westbound everland which jitses Colfax this morning. Hits From Various Quarters. Charlie Weller, the bald-headed genius of the ’Frisco delegation, is the “funny man” of the session. His ‘‘substitutes for the whole” are almost as familiar as the “‘bosscandy’”” man on the boulevards of the Queen City of the Pacific. Andy Donovan, the ‘baby’? delegate of the session, representing, as he does, Niantic Parlor No. 105, is a Deputy Tax Collector of San Francisco. He was chairman of the last Democratic County. Committee, and, besides being one of the.finest looking men of the session, is thoroughly popular and deservedly so. His slide dowa the sugar loaf has become quite the proper caper. “Hello, Vignes!"’ “Hello. Well, what do you want?” “Heard you had an adventure the other evening. Any truth in it? Los Angeles girl ?’”” “Oh1!-go-to—thunder. was a Los Angeles girl.’’ J. R. Aitken of San Francisco, it. is -whispered outside the meeting of the Grand Parlor, makes eleven speeches on an average to the -half-hour, and “kicks” because he can’t make any more. Physical impossibility. —{{Well, well, there’s Ahern, the ‘alfalfa’ fiend and political boss of Bakersfield. How’s the little brunette on street ?’’ “Oh!'she bilked me last nigiit, but I’ve got another one. She’s a bird.” Edward J. Casey, Past President of Stanford Parlor No. 76, of San Francisco, is Chief Deputy County Clerk of his city, and deservedly popular with all. : Colonel J. Mervyn Donahue, president of the Northern Pacific railroad, and representative of M'!. Tamalpais Parlor of San Rafael, is also Lieutenant Colonel of the Fifth Infantry Regiment, N. G. C. Tax Collector Smith of Butte is attending the session as a delegate from his parlor. Loring Knowlton, one of the Stan‘ford Parlor delegates, is a native of Nevada City. C. M. Belshaw, the good natured chairman of the Finance Committee, has been studying tne topography of the. mines—the lower levels, accompanied by L. L. Dennery, his Man _ Friday. ; Grand Trustée Isaacs’ genial face comes smiling tous from under the shadows .of Mt. Shasta’s snowy heights. Judge Thos. R. Harris of Wheatland is among the delegates attending, the Grand Parlor. The Judge was recently elected Treasurer of Wheatland, and_ is Postmaster at that place. . He fearly asphyxiated Thad. McFarland~ the other night. After trying to blow out the gas in his room, he succeeded in quenching it by snuffing ic with his fingers. The smell woke Mack up, and he threw the doors open and turned off the burner. Leon Sanguinetti has a one hundred dollar night gown, beautifully ornamented with oriental lace and expen-. sive embroidery. “How happy would 1 be with either were the other dear charmer away,’" said Fred Wickersham at the ball on’ Wednesday night. ; Dr. J.

The New Quartz Crushing Machinery at the North Star Mine. The Union recently published a description of the new mill at the North Star mine in Grass Valley district, and the following is taken from it: The mill is situated on the west side of the hoisting works and below the county road, and is attached to the hoisting works by a truss bridge which is nine feet wide and sixty feet in length,over which a car track is laid with T rails, the full length Of car track being 100 feet. By means of this track the éars are run from the landing of the hoistng works into the, top of the mill building where the ore is dumped uponinclined gratings (grizzlies) and descends into the ore-bins—the finer quartz passing through the gratings and the coarser going down to the rock breakers, through which it passes into the bins underneath, from whence all the ore continues on down to the selffeeders which supply the batteries. The ore-bins are capable of holding 2,500 tons of quartz, and are framed of heavy timbers, 14x14 inches, and set onthe bottom at an angle of 45 degrees. Below the bins: is the battery floor, the dimensions of which are 40 by 75 feet, with room for eight batteries of five stamps each, but for the present 30 stamps have been. put up. The battery frame is of sugar pine. Below the batteries on the inclined floor are set sluices lined with silver plates. Below the battery flcor is the concentrator floor, which is 40x86 feet, and on which sets twelve Triumph concentrators (two for each battery) which receive the pulp from the sluices above. Adjoining the battery floor.on-thenorth is the clean-up room, 20x22 feet, in which is laid a cement floor, and which contains all the. conveniences for handling the amalgam and bullion, On the same level with the concentrator floor, on the north, is the compressor room, 22x40 feet, and adjoining this on the west the wheel room (in which are set three Pelton wheels), 16x22 feet. On the south of of the concentrator floor is the sulphuret room, 28x30 feet, with cement floor, sides and roof with glass sash. The whole interior of the mill is arranged in the most convenient manner, and all parts of the workmanship are very substantial. The list of machinery: within the mill is 30 850-pound stamps, 2 rock breakers, 6 shaking tables, 12 concentrators, 2 pans, 1 cleanup barrel, 1 battea, and about 600 feet of silver plate; of driving machinery, lair compressor and 4 Pelton wheels, lof 6 feet for battery, 1 of 6 feet for battery, 1 of 6 feet for compressor, 1 of 4° feet for rock-breakers and 1 of 3 feet for concentrators—all run with cotton ropes of 1144 and 2inches. The Pelton wheels take up but a small space, and a person not familiar with their capacity would be. surprised at seeing 80 large a quantity of machinery driven by these little wheels. In the hoisting works, heretofore driven: by steam power, two Pelton wheels have also been introduced—1 of 6 feet to do the pumping and 1 of 5 feet for hoisting. By the arrangement of the mill the distance from where the ore is dumped from the cars until it is discharged as pulp from the concentrators is about 90 feet. The crwshing of the ore is done automatically, and is not handled after being dumped except at the rock-breakers, which are attended by two men at daytime only.: By this means seven men are suflicient to run the mill 24 hours, during which time the mill is expected to crush 75 tons of ore, the cost of the reduction of which should not. excéed 50 cents per ton; end possibly may not reach that. Chinese Arrested for Hydraulicking. Sheriff Inlow of Yuba county accompanied by Sternes and Woodruff, anti-mining spies, went to Hunt’s Hill day before yesterday and arrested three Chinamen who are alleged to have been engaged in hydraulic mining there. The prisoners were taken to Marysville.in a carriage. —~* cere It was published in the Grass Valley Tidings of Wednesday that a span of horses attached to a two horse bus had run —.

Hydraulic Parlor Beats Its Record—Gross Valley's Native Sons Out in Force. The Native Daughters—The Delegates to the Grand Parlor Delighted toa « Man. w More than once im the history of Nevada City the lamps have shone bright o’er fair women and brave men. But never in our city’s history has lamp or gas jet or electric burner shone o’er fairer women or braver men than those who met and mingled and melted into the grand. marcly of last Wednesday night. : Armory Hall-has been brilliantly filled and tastefully decorated on more than one occasion that readers do not need to be reminded of, yet never -before has there been an occasion celebrated here that called forth such taste, such judgment and such appreciative response. To say that our favorite hall was handsomely decorated would be to express with niggard truth’ the beauty decorative ensemble, The wealth of color, the harmony of design, the arrangement of detailed effect, were admirable from all three standpoints. ‘‘Welcome to ourguests,”’ in silver letters on a field of blue, was the motto above the festooned flags of the entrance Way. “N.S.G. W. Welcome,” in. floral lettering, was emblazoned on the south-west corner of the stage wall: Above the stage, a composite design of canvas, greenery and carving set off the official name of the hosts of the evening, Hydraulic Parlor, Ne. 56. Caught up from the stage wall, and pendent from the rafters and braces of the roof, were banners of alternate red and blue ground, on which were emblazoned the shields of the various States—the shield of California in a background of crossed flags, occupying the post of honor, above the entrance of the ladies’ . withdrawing room. Mottoes, displaying the principles of the order of Native Sons, occupied conspicuous positions on the walls, while in the center of the great hall— at least during the grand march—the banner of Hydraulic Parlor formed the central figure of the circling throng. ; A nuinber of mirrors, disposed against the eastern wall, reflected the faces and toilets of the dancers and the scarcely less brilliant decorations above them. The floor had been canvased, and when the first strains of the grand ery detail was not merely animated, striking, beautiful—it was a scene without a flaw. Tuesday evening ‘‘the shadows fell from our sun-kissed hills’’ (as brother Weller so picturesquely puts it) under a sullen-‘downpour from clouds of liquid lead. And all day, long: on Wednesday it'was a weather. sharp’s toss up whether it would be clear or no.‘ sut about 4p. mM. Grand Orator MeNally, in the Grand Parlor, rose to the point of order that if the freedom of Nevada City didn’t mean freedom from rain on ball night, it didn’t mean anything. . Whereupon, on vote of the Parlor, Grand Inside Sentinel McFarlane was appointed a committee of one to call the matter to the attention of Town Trustee Robinson. As a result the clerk of the ‘weather was put under heavy bonds to keep the peace, with a further result that the evening hills of Wednesday were as radiantly sun-kissed as if Past Grand President Jones had left the session in time to smile upon them. The evening was brilliantly starlit, and though cool and almost cold was from a dancer’s point of view, flawless. The pressure upon these always crowded columns prevents anything like a description of the toilets worn by the ladies, or even a full list of those present. That our ladies were well dressed, goes Without saying. That dressjng to please the more critical because more faulty sex they succeeded, goes also without saying. For to fail in either particular would be as a visiting Native Sons expressed it: ‘Not to be a true daughter of Nevada County.” The scene during the grand march, and during the souvenir march preceding the first quadrille, was the most brilliant ever witnessed in Nevada county. To the delegates to the Grand Parlor it was uniformly a surprise. We say uniformly because not evea the delegates who were members of Hydraulic Parlor looked forward to such perfect realization of their fondest expectations. ee. The Native Sons of the Golden West permit no intoxicants to be sold or served at any of their private or public entertainments; and the: only refreshments served within the hall were strictly temperance beverages. Supper was not served, but the restaurants were patronized by all whose dancing fervor did not, make eating superflous. . The excellence of the music furnish-_ ed deserves special recognition, though neither that nor the proficien cy of the leader needs commendation in these or in any columns. The floor manager and his lieutenants were untiring in their efforts to secure partners for the ladies and genaway. 1 INR ean ve ‘tlemen among the guests of the eveo* t march ‘stilled for a, moment the buzz . , of conversation, tile scene in its evning—a fact that more than. one shy delegate appreciated. ‘During the dancing each guest was presented with a handsome lithographed programme as a souvenir of the occasion. They were elegantly printedon heavy card board, 10x12, tied with silken ribbons. The form of the souuvenir is that of a book. The first or title page contains a picture. of Golden Gate in colors. On’ the second page appears.the following list of officers: Past President, L. 8. Calkins; President, W. T. Morgan; First Vice-President, M. M. Baruh; Second Vice-President, J.

E, Walters and H. J. "Carter, Reception Committee. The festivities were continued until a late hour. NOTES. Natives to the right of them, Natives to the left of them, Natives by ribbon and trail. Everyone danced with them, Everyone glanced at them, Natives, gay Natives, all hail. Some of the Native Sons brought their dress suits, some did not, And those who did were collectively and individually “Swell, no end.” Among them all the noble proportions of Brother Weller loomed grandly, the shadows falling from his gas-kissed brow like sparkles from a radiant gem. One of the most graceful dancers on the floor was Grand Trustee Isaacs. Brother Davis of Sacramento smiled benignly on the young people, and carried their souvenir programs. for several ladies. The three Delegates Smith danced discreetly—one of them dancing: with such discretion as not to dance at all. Past President Steinbach flitted from flower to flower, looking for additions to the School Department. of San Francisco, President Decker led the grand march, escorting Mrs. W.T. Morgan. Grand Secretary Lunstedt lost. his programme, This fortunate fact prevented that gallant and popular officer from being danced to death: After the first dance, Brother Winne looked benignantly upon the dancers from among the wall flowers. . Brother Gesford towered above his briefer brothers. Grand Trustee Dorn refused to unbend his mighty mind in any such frivolous direction. Brotuer Corcoran actually. smiled during the evening. Brother Ahern said, sotto voce: “Now if this thing were half ‘as easy as talking.’’ Brother Belshaw and Kelly estimated the evening’s enjoyment at ten thousand each. The athletic form of Bro. Donovan loomed up like an immense and majestic ship. in the fog. The “baby” delegate was great. Even Jack McDougald forgot to “kick” at, the Floor Manager. and his Dromio, Corley,didn’t even question the Floor Manager’s motives in sandwiching in the extras. ‘ Bro. Lindsey rushed about with a handful of telegrams from heart broken girls he left behind him. Brother Donahue was not sidetracked till the last locomotive was homeward bound. Brother Aitken, in the atmosphere of youth and beauty, melted into innocuous desuetude. Grand Marshal Barry was marshaled by his better half. Grand Vice President Garoutte was, as always, handsome, distinguished looking and gallant. — HERE AND THERE. L. W.

PRESENTATION TO SENATORS JONES AND CAMINETTI. — Appreciation of Legislative Services in Behalf ef the Mining Industry— The Speeches That Were Made. od At seven o’clock Wednesday evening a-party of citizens tendered a dinner to Senator Jones of Butte county and Senator Caminetti of Amador county, in recognition of their efforts during the last Legislature in behalf of the mining industry. Tam’s restaurant on Pine street was the scene of the gathering. The spread wasa fine one, and the following gentlemen were present: Senators Jones and Caminetti; Hon, J:-M.— Walling, who presided ; . Messrs. EM. Preston, J. B. Gray, R. C. Walrath, N. P. Brown, I. J. Rolfe, FE. F. Rosenthal, R.-E. Robinson, EF, Bond,J. B. Tully,C. EF. Mulloy, Win, Giffin, John Werry, -L. B.Johnson, Henry Lane, D.

Gray, of the Herald, presented Mr. Caminetti with an elegant. emblem pin in theshape of a solid ‘gold hydraulic monitor, made by CG. J. Brand of this city. The balance-box of it is filled with free-gold quartz taken from a hydraulic mine. The quartz taken from the Nevada County quartz mine. The monitor, which is a fac-simile.of the following enlarged illustration, is suspended from the pin plate by fine gold chains. It is inches in length and 24 in hight: Upon the plate isthe following _ inscription : “Presented to Hon. A/Caminetti by the Native Son citizens of Nevada City, Cal., in tuken of their appreciation of his legislative efforts in behalf of the hydraulic minera;—April 20th, 1887.’ Mr. Gray said: : “Senator Caminetti, when it was learned that you would be here at'the meeting of the Grand.Parlor, it occurred to some of the younger citizens of ‘our town that it would be a good idea, during your stay, to show our appreciation of your services in the last Logiplature, Tho active part ‘tukou by you upon all matters affecting the interests of ‘the mining communities, was noted with pride and admiration, and your able efforts in behalf of the mining sections elicited the warmest praise from all friends of that. important industry which has.made the golden west what it is today. Nevada county, as you well know, depends almost entirely upon her mining enterprises. Although our latchstring always hangs to everyone, none are more welcome than-those whose friendship we claim and esteem. We are pleased to have support you have given us, and proud that you are a native of the State of California. In recognition of your efforts, and on behalf of the people of Nevada City, and the native son citizens particularly, allow me to present to you this pin—a hydraulic monitor, which design we consider most appropriate and suggestive. May it ever serve to recall pleasant memories, and should relief come to the miners and satisfactory means be adopted w hereby the mines may again be operated by the hydraulic process, may this miniature monitor prove a happy and priceless talisman, bringing to its possessor all the blessings of honor, peace and prosperity,’’ Senator Caminetti said: ‘If I have done anything in my legislative career that meets the approbation of the people of the State and of this part ofthe State, then I have done only my duty. Born in California, in sight of the hydraulic mines, my father an old miner,.it is not strange that I took an interest in the miners. I don’t think, therefore, that I deserve any particular credit. I don’t think that our fight in the last Legislature did the miners any good, but we were placed in such a position that we had to strike back. They’ attacked the miners, and I was in duty bound to defend the people of my county. In doing so, if I have served your people I am glad of it. Gentlemen, I thank you for this token of your esteem.’’ E. M. Preston then claimed the attention of the company. He said: “There are two gentlemen in the last Senate who sat side by side and ‘who are of particular interest. to us. One: of thern—Senator Jones—is now here. ! The. other—Senator Walfath—I am . sorry to say, is away. I am glad to see that the native sonsin the Legislature defended the interest of theit forefathers. We have lived here long enough to imbibe the spirit of California honesty and appreciation, although we are not all of us pioneers. It is but natural, therefore, that we should appreciate the efforts of those who have acted on our behalf. One of them is Senator Jones. He.was placHON. A. CAMINETTI, of Amador County. from a county whose agricultural and mining pursuits are abdut equally divided, he had much to look at in deciding on his course. Once fixed, he never swerved from what he considered his path of duty. Senator Jones, we deeply teel the debt of gratitude we owe.

We think that in your recognition of our industry you have done much to aid us, o We shall always remember you with}. Presit secds of all kinds at: Cars gratitude."’ Bros. Mr. Preston then presented.

BUSINESS BEING TRANSACTED RAPIDLY Conclusion of Wednesday's Doings—A Full Account of the Matters Legislated Upon Yesterday. WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON, One of the most important decisions by the Committee in reversing an opinion of the Grand President, referred to the eligibility of Native Sons who can neither read or write. The Grand President, decided’ that such were not eligible. The Committeereported that, in their opinion, they were. After an animated discussion the report was adopted. H. C.

Also the amendment to Article 2, in effect providing that no Past Grand. Presidents shall be entitled to seats in the Grand Parlor unless they haye attended a majority of the meetings of their Parlor during the year preceding the session, without recommendation:. Also against the amendment providing for the payment of $150 per month to the Grand Lecturer and his traveling expenses for the purpose’ of ‘‘booming”’ the order throughout the State. The report was adopted as read. W.H. Miller of San Francisco of the Committee on Laws. and_ Supervision, reported against the recommendation to change the regulation hat. Also against the approval of circulars emanating from a subordinate Parlor by the Grand President. Also against numbering the dffferent drill corps according to the numbers of their Parlors. The Committee reported in favor of the resolution providing that no Parlor shall be instituted in San Francisco unless 50 people are present. Also in favor of levying a per capita tax of 50 cents upon each member of the order upon the death of a member for the purpose of paying out of the Grand Treasury a death benefit of $500 to relatives of deceased members. E. J. Casey of San Francisco miadé a lengthy address showing»the benefit of the proposition. As.author of the resolution his explanations were listened to with attention. A lengthy discussion pro and con,’ occupying half the afternoon, followed. It was finally referred to aco umittee as follows to report tomorrow morning: E. J. Casey, M. A. Dorn and J. A. Steinbach of San Francisco, Frank D. Ryan of Sacramento and E. C. Farnsworth of Jackson. ~ The remainder of the report as given above was adopted. C. B. Webster of Suisun of the Committee on Returns, presented a report renitting the fines imposed during the year upon the following Parlors: Porterville, No. 73, Mt. Lassen, No. 15, Eureka, No. 13, Downieville, No. 92, Yosemite, No. 24, Prince, No. 80, Mo-desto, No. 11; San Joaquin, No. 18, Golden Fleece, No. 57, and Ukiah, No. 71.

Snook, recommending the offering of a prize of $250 for a ritual, selected by competition, and a minority report signed b, J. R. Aitken, were presented. The majority report was then adopted. ; The Grand Parlor then adjourned. THURSDAY MORNING. On convening, Grand President Decker presiding, the special order of business was taken up, and the Parlor proceeded to discuss the matter of instituting subordinate Parlors without the houndaries-of the State.. The resolution of Past President Steinbach of San Francisco was taken up. This resolution provides for the organization of Parlors providing no expense is incurred upon the Grand Parlor, except for mileage that may be incurred within the boundaries of California; that the members of such Parlors shall take an obligation that in no case, will they votein favor of holding the sessions of the Grand Parlors outside the State of California, nor under any circumstances vote to create any aathority over such Parlors except thisGrand Parlor. » Nor shall any expense be incurred in the institution of such Parlors, Grand Secretary Lundstedt moved toamend so as not to require a per capita tax and not to pay mileage. . A lengthy and eloquent discussion ensued, Past President Greeley of Marysville moved to amend to include. only the Pacific Coast States. The amendment was lost by a vote of 82 to 51. Adjourned until 1:30 o’clock. AFTERNONN SESSION. The Parlor met at 1:30 o’clock. Communications were received from Fresno requesting that the next meet" ing of the Grand Parlor be held in that place. Also from James Hopkins, Jr., of Watsonville, asking that it be held in San Francisco. Fresno was there¢ upon selected as the next place of’ meeting. The committee on Funeral Ceremony recommended that further time be granted to report, and that Rey. Carroll M. Davis of Sacramento be added to the committee. Adopted. _ The Parlor thereupon resolved itself into a committee of the whole. The recommendation of the :Trustees for an additional $5 per month towards the rent of the Grand Secretary’s “office was adopted. Also that franked envelopes be purchased and that the commiitee on printing supplies and finance committee meet jointly. Also that on future 9th of September celebrations the exercises be held at an early hour in the evening instead of in the afternoon. And against the urchase of the last Admission ay number of the Golden West, the. official _organ. Also against eo ee $1,000 for the purpose of aiding in building a monument to the memory of the founder of the order, Ger 21al, A. M. Winn. this relation a ge capita tax of 50 cents was levied upon each member of the order, payable within 90 days. The Parlor then arose and adopted the recommendations. The Committee —on Endowment Rank reported in favor of no immediate action. One re port, the majority one, recommended that a plan be formulated and submitted to the subordinate Parlors for their concurrence. The minority report, signed by E.’C: Farnsworth, of Jackson, was adverse to any endowment rank whatsoever. The minority report was adopted. The committee on badge’ reported that in their opinion it was inadvisable torecommend any official badge at this time. The committee on finance reported favorably on the recommendation of the Grand Secretary that all Parlors instituted 30 days before the semi-annual per. capita tax becomes due be liable for thesame. The committee returned the recommendation of the Grand Secretary that D. L. Fitzgerald be compensated for his services as his assistant. ° ELECTION OF GRAND OFFICERB. At the time of our going to press the following grand officers had been unanimously elected: C. H. Garoutte, Grand President; M. A. Dorn, Grand Vice President; Henry Lunstedt, Grand Secretary. : The report closes with the afternoon session. It was expected the—Grand Parlor would conclude its labors at a late hour last night. In that event it was proposed that after the banquet at the Union Hotel beginning~at 10:30 o’clock, a special train leave here for Colfax to take over those delegates who desired to connect with the westbound everland which jitses Colfax this morning. Hits From Various Quarters. Charlie Weller, the bald-headed genius of the ’Frisco delegation, is the “funny man” of the session. His ‘‘substitutes for the whole” are almost as familiar as the “‘bosscandy’”” man on the boulevards of the Queen City of the Pacific. Andy Donovan, the ‘baby’? delegate of the session, representing, as he does, Niantic Parlor No. 105, is a Deputy Tax Collector of San Francisco. He was chairman of the last Democratic County. Committee, and, besides being one of the.finest looking men of the session, is thoroughly popular and deservedly so. His slide dowa the sugar loaf has become quite the proper caper. “Hello, Vignes!"’ “Hello. Well, what do you want?” “Heard you had an adventure the other evening. Any truth in it? Los Angeles girl ?’”” “Oh1!-go-to—thunder. was a Los Angeles girl.’’ J. R. Aitken of San Francisco, it. is -whispered outside the meeting of the Grand Parlor, makes eleven speeches on an average to the -half-hour, and “kicks” because he can’t make any more. Physical impossibility. —{{Well, well, there’s Ahern, the ‘alfalfa’ fiend and political boss of Bakersfield. How’s the little brunette on street ?’’ “Oh!'she bilked me last nigiit, but I’ve got another one. She’s a bird.” Edward J. Casey, Past President of Stanford Parlor No. 76, of San Francisco, is Chief Deputy County Clerk of his city, and deservedly popular with all. : Colonel J. Mervyn Donahue, president of the Northern Pacific railroad, and representative of M'!. Tamalpais Parlor of San Rafael, is also Lieutenant Colonel of the Fifth Infantry Regiment, N. G. C. Tax Collector Smith of Butte is attending the session as a delegate from his parlor. Loring Knowlton, one of the Stan‘ford Parlor delegates, is a native of Nevada City. C. M. Belshaw, the good natured chairman of the Finance Committee, has been studying tne topography of the. mines—the lower levels, accompanied by L. L. Dennery, his Man _ Friday. ; Grand Trustée Isaacs’ genial face comes smiling tous from under the shadows .of Mt.. Shasta’s snowy heights. Judge Thos. R. Harris of Wheatland is among the delegates attending, the Grand Parlor. The Judge was recently elected Treasurer of Wheatland, and_ is Postmaster at that place. . He fearly asphyxiated Thad. McFarland~ the other night. After trying to blow out the gas in his room, he succeeded in quenching it by snuffing ic with his fingers. The smell woke Mack up, and he threw the doors open and turned off the burner. Leon Sanguinetti has a one hundred dollar night gown, beautifully ornamented with oriental lace and expen-. sive embroidery. “How happy would 1 be with either were the other dear charmer away,’" said Fred Wickersham at the ball on’ Wednesday night. ; Dr. J.

The New Quartz Crushing Machinery at the North Star Mine. The Union recently published a description of the new mill at the North Star mine in Grass Valley district, and the following is taken from it: The mill is situated on the west side of the hoisting works and below the county road, and is attached to the hoisting works by a truss bridge which is nine feet wide and sixty feet in length,over which a car track is laid with T rails, the full length Of car track being 100 feet. By means of this track the éars are run from the landing of the hoistng works into the, top of the mill building where the ore is dumped uponinclined gratings (grizzlies) and descends into the ore-bins—the finer quartz passing through the gratings and the coarser going down to the rock breakers, through which it passes into the bins underneath, from whence all the ore continues on down to the selffeeders which supply the batteries. The ore-bins are capable of holding 2,500 tons of quartz, and are framed of heavy timbers, 14x14 inches, and set onthe bottom at an angle of 45 degrees. Below the bins: is the battery floor, the dimensions of which are 40 by 75 feet, with room for eight batteries of five stamps each, but for the present 30 stamps have been. put up. The battery frame is of sugar pine. Below the batteries on the inclined floor are set sluices lined with silver plates. Below the battery flcor is the concentrator floor, which is 40x86 feet, and on which sets twelve Triumph concentrators (two for each battery) which receive the pulp from the sluices above. Adjoining the battery floor.on-thenorth is the clean-up room, 20x22 feet, in which is laid a cement floor, and which contains all the. conveniences for handling the amalgam and bullion, On the same level with the concentrator floor, on the north, is the compressor room, 22x40 feet, and adjoining this on the west the wheel room (in which are set three Pelton wheels), 16x22 feet. On the south of of the concentrator floor is the sulphuret room, 28x30 feet, with cement floor, sides and roof with glass sash. The whole interior of the mill is arranged in the most convenient manner, and all parts of the workmanship are very substantial. The list of machinery: within the mill is 30 850-pound stamps, 2 rock breakers, 6 shaking tables, 12 concentrators, 2 pans, 1 cleanup barrel, 1 battea, and about 600 feet of silver plate; of driving machinery, lair compressor and 4 Pelton wheels, lof 6 feet for battery, 1 of 6 feet for battery, 1 of 6 feet for compressor, 1 of 4° feet for rock-breakers and 1 of 3 feet for concentrators—all run with cotton ropes of 1144 and 2inches. The Pelton wheels take up but a small space, and a person not familiar with their capacity would be. surprised at seeing 80 large a quantity of machinery driven by these little wheels. In the hoisting works, heretofore driven: by steam power, two Pelton wheels have also been introduced—1 of 6 feet to do the pumping and 1 of 5 feet for hoisting. By the arrangement of the mill the distance from where the ore is dumped from the cars until it is discharged as pulp from the concentrators is about 90 feet. The crwshing of the ore is done automatically, and is not handled after being dumped except at the rock-breakers, which are attended by two men at daytime only.: By this means seven men are suflicient to run the mill 24 hours, during which time the mill is expected to crush 75 tons of ore, the cost of the reduction of which should not. excéed 50 cents per ton; end possibly may not reach that. Chinese Arrested for Hydraulicking. Sheriff Inlow of Yuba county accompanied by Sternes and Woodruff, anti-mining spies, went to Hunt’s Hill day before yesterday and arrested three Chinamen who are alleged to have been engaged in hydraulic mining there. The prisoners were taken to Marysville.in a carriage. —~* cere It was published in the Grass Valley Tidings of Wednesday that a span of horses attached to a two horse bus had run —.

Hydraulic Parlor Beats Its Record—Gross Valley's Native Sons Out in Force. The Native Daughters—The Delegates to the Grand Parlor Delighted toa « Man. w More than once im the history of Nevada City the lamps have shone bright o’er fair women and brave men. But never in our city’s history has lamp or gas jet or electric burner shone o’er fairer women or braver men than those who met and mingled and melted into the grand. marcly of last Wednesday night. : Armory Hall-has been brilliantly filled and tastefully decorated on more than one occasion that readers do not need to be reminded of, yet never -before has there been an occasion celebrated here that called forth such taste, such judgment and such appreciative response. To say that our favorite hall was handsomely decorated would be to express with niggard truth’ the beauty decorative ensemble, The wealth of color, the harmony of design, the arrangement of detailed effect, were admirable from all three standpoints. ‘‘Welcome to ourguests,”’ in silver letters on a field of blue, was the motto above the festooned flags of the entrance Way. “N.S.G. W. Welcome,” in. floral lettering, was emblazoned on the south-west corner of the stage wall: Above the stage, a composite design of canvas, greenery and carving set off the official name of the hosts of the evening, Hydraulic Parlor, Ne. 56. Caught up from the stage wall, and pendent from the rafters and braces of the roof, were banners of alternate red and blue ground, on which were emblazoned the shields of the various States—the shield of California in a background of crossed flags, occupying the post of honor, above the entrance of the ladies’ . withdrawing room. Mottoes, displaying the principles of the order of Native Sons, occupied conspicuous positions on the walls, while in the center of the great hall— at least during the grand march—the banner of Hydraulic Parlor formed the central figure of the circling throng. ; A nuinber of mirrors, disposed against the eastern wall, reflected the faces and toilets of the dancers and the scarcely less brilliant decorations above them. The floor had been canvased, and when the first strains of the grand ery detail was not merely animated, striking, beautiful—it was a scene without a flaw. Tuesday evening ‘‘the shadows fell from our sun-kissed hills’’ (as brother Weller so picturesquely puts it) under

a sullen-‘downpour from clouds of liquid lead. And all day, long: on Wednesday it'was a weather. sharp’s toss up whether it would be clear or no.‘ sut about 4p. mM. Grand Orator MeNally, in the Grand Parlor, rose to the point of order that if the freedom of Nevada City didn’t mean freedom from rain on ball night, it didn’t mean anything. . Whereupon, on vote of the Parlor, Grand Inside Sentinel McFarlane was appointed a committee of one to call the matter to the attention of Town Trustee Robinson. As a result the clerk of the ‘weather was put under heavy bonds to keep the peace, with a further result that the evening hills of Wednesday were as radiantly sun-kissed as if Past Grand President Jones had left the session in time to smile upon them. The evening was brilliantly starlit, and though cool and almost cold was from a dancer’s point of view, flawless. The pressure upon these always crowded columns prevents anything like a description of the toilets worn by the ladies, or even a full list of those present. That our ladies were well dressed, goes Without saying. That dressjng to please the more critical because more faulty sex they succeeded, goes also without saying. For to fail in either particular would be as a visiting Native Sons expressed it: ‘Not to be a true daughter of Nevada County.” The scene during the grand march, and during the souvenir march preceding the first quadrille, was the most brilliant ever witnessed in Nevada county. To the delegates to the Grand Parlor it was uniformly a surprise. We say uniformly because not evea the delegates who were members of Hydraulic Parlor looked forward to such perfect realization of their fondest expectations. ee. The Native Sons of the Golden West permit no intoxicants to be sold or served at any of their private or public entertainments; and the: only refreshments served within the hall were strictly temperance beverages. Supper was not served, but the restaurants were patronized by all whose dancing fervor did not, make eating superflous. . The excellence of the music furnish-_ ed deserves special recognition, though neither that nor the proficien cy of the leader needs commendation in these or in any columns. The floor manager and his lieutenants were untiring in their efforts to secure partners for the ladies and genaway. 1 INR ean ve ‘tlemen among the guests of the eveo* t march ‘stilled for a, moment the buzz . , of conversation, tile scene in its evning—a fact that more than. one shy delegate appreciated. ‘During the dancing each guest was presented with a handsome lithographed programme as a souvenir of the occasion. They were elegantly printedon heavy card board, 10x12, tied with silken ribbons. The form of the souuvenir is that of a book. The first or title page contains a picture. of Golden Gate in colors. On’ the second page appears.the following list of officers: Past President, L. 8. Calkins; President, W. T. Morgan; First Vice-President, M. M. Baruh; Second Vice-President, J.

Everyone danced with them, Everyone glanced at them, Natives, gay Natives, all hail. Some of the Native Sons brought their dress suits, some did not, And those who did were collectively and individually “Swell, no end.” Among them all the noble proportions of Brother Weller loomed grandly, the shadows falling from his gas-kissed brow like sparkles from a radiant gem. One of the most graceful dancers on the floor was Grand Trustee Isaacs. Brother Davis of Sacramento smiled benignly on the young people, and carried their souvenir programs. for several ladies. The three Delegates Smith danced discreetly—one of them dancing: with such discretion as not to dance at all. Past President Steinbach flitted from flower to flower, looking for additions to the School Department. of San Francisco, President Decker led the grand march, escorting Mrs. W.T. Morgan. Grand Secretary Lunstedt lost. his programme, This fortunate fact prevented that gallant and popular officer from being danced to death: After the first dance, Brother Winne looked benignantly upon the dancers from among the wall flowers. . Brother Gesford towered above his briefer brothers. Grand Trustee Dorn refused to unbend his mighty mind in any such frivolous direction. Brotuer Corcoran actually. smiled during the evening. Brother Ahern said, sotto voce: “Now if this thing were half ‘as easy as talking.’’ Brother Belshaw and Kelly estimated the evening’s enjoyment at ten thousand each. The athletic form of Bro. Donovan loomed up like an immense and majestic ship. in the fog. The “baby” delegate was great. Even Jack McDougald forgot to “kick” at, the Floor Manager. and his Dromio, Corley,didn’t even question the Floor Manager’s motives in sandwiching in the extras. ‘ Bro. Lindsey rushed about with a handful of telegrams from heart broken girls he left behind him. Brother Donahue was not sidetracked till the last locomotive was homeward bound. Brother Aitken, in the atmosphere of youth and beauty, melted into innocuous desuetude. Grand Marshal Barry was marshaled by his better half. Grand Vice President Garoutte was, as always, handsome, distinguished looking and gallant. — HERE AND THERE. L. W.

Tam’s restaurant on Pine street was the scene of the gathering. The spread wasa fine one, and the following gentlemen were present: Senators Jones and Caminetti; Hon, J:-M.— Walling, who presided ; . Messrs. EM. Preston, J. B. Gray, R. C. Walrath, N. P. Brown, I. J. Rolfe, FE. F. Rosenthal, R.-E. Robinson, EF, Bond,J. B. Tully,C. EF. Mulloy, Win, Giffin, John Werry, -L. B.Johnson, Henry Lane, D.

Gray, of the Herald, presented Mr. Caminetti with an elegant. emblem pin in theshape of a solid ‘gold hydraulic monitor, made by CG. J. Brand of this city. The balance-box of it is filled with free-gold quartz taken from a hydraulic mine. The quartz taken from the Nevada County quartz mine. The monitor, which is a fac-simile.of the following enlarged illustration, is suspended from the pin plate by fine gold chains. It is inches in length and 24 in hight: Upon the plate isthe following _ inscription : “Presented to Hon. A/Caminetti by the Native Son citizens of Nevada City, Cal., in tuken of their appreciation of his legislative efforts in behalf of the hydraulic minera;—April 20th, 1887.’ Mr. Gray said: : “Senator Caminetti, when it was learned that you would be here at'the meeting of the Grand.Parlor, it occurred to some of the younger citizens of ‘our town that it would be a good idea, during your stay, to show our appreciation of your services in the last Logiplature, Tho active part ‘tukou by you upon all matters affecting the interests of ‘the mining communities, was noted with pride and admiration, and your able efforts in behalf of the mining sections elicited the warmest praise from all friends of that. important industry which has.made the golden west what it is today. Nevada county, as you well know, depends almost entirely upon her mining enterprises. Although our latchstring always hangs to everyone, none are more welcome than-those whose friendship we claim and esteem. We are pleased to have support you have given us, and proud that you are a native of the State of California. In recognition of your efforts, and on behalf of the people of Nevada City, and the native son citizens particularly, allow me to present to you this pin—a hydraulic monitor, which design we consider most appropriate and suggestive. May it ever serve to recall pleasant memories, and should relief come to the miners and satisfactory means be adopted w hereby the mines may again be operated by the hydraulic process, may this miniature monitor prove a happy and priceless talisman, bringing to its possessor all the blessings of honor, peace and prosperity,’’ Senator Caminetti said: ‘If I have done anything in my legislative career that meets the approbation of the people of the State and of this part ofthe State, then I have done only my duty. Born in California, in sight of the hydraulic mines, my father an old miner,.it is not strange that I took an interest in the miners. I don’t think, therefore, that I deserve any particular credit. I don’t think that our fight in the last Legislature did the miners any good, but we were placed in such a position that we had to strike back. They’ attacked the miners, and I was in duty bound to defend the people of my county. In doing so, if I have served your people I am glad of it. Gentlemen, I thank you for this token of your esteem.’’ E. M. Preston then claimed the attention of the company. He said: “There are two gentlemen in the last Senate who sat side by side and ‘who are of particular interest. to us. One: of thern—Senator Jones—is now here. ! The. other—Senator Walfath—I am . sorry to say, is away. I am glad to see that the native sonsin the Legislature defended the interest of theit forefathers. We have lived here long enough to imbibe the spirit of California honesty and appreciation, although we are not all of us pioneers. It is but natural, therefore, that we should appreciate the efforts of those who have acted on our behalf. One of them is Senator Jones. He.was placHON. A. CAMINETTI, of Amador County. from a county whose agricultural and mining pursuits are abdut equally divided, he had much to look at in deciding on his course. Once fixed, he never swerved from what he considered his path of duty. Senator Jones, we deeply teel the debt of gratitude we owe.
