Ci wd SH A610 be oe CL A STEP BACKWARD. T ie tree that the provision in the purity of election law requiring candi-~ dates to file a sworn statement of their campaign expenses-has been a dead letter fo date, bat.it nevertheless embodies a sound principle; albeit one difficult_of ehforcement. However short the law bas fallen of meeting puble expectation, it ie not without good features, It aceomplishes some beneficial results, and places certain pernicious practices under the ban of the law, While a lax pablic opinion has not given the law the moral backing necessary for enforcement, there is no reason for opening the door to abuses and practices subversive of honesty and fairness in elections. The law makes fraud and corraption more difficult, and if it did nothing else is to be commended. It is certainly an argument sgainst its abrogation. As for the other side, the only argument arged in behalf of repeal is that the law has failed of its object. Becauee the fence is not so high that some can. not jamp over nor so tight that some cannot creep tbrough, is no reason why it should be tern down altogether. There is not even negative virtue in the Jobnson bill to repeal the purity of elections law. THURSDAY . THE COYOTE CLAIMS. HE objection that many of the coyote claims are fraudulent is an old one. It has been urged again and again on internal and constructive evidence, bat no testimony has been presented to prove any epecific claim fraudulent. Now these claims have accraed by the operation. of a State law—an extravagant, ridiculous piece of legislation, but still a law daly enacted—and they lie against the State as a dishonored obligation, although judicially declared to be valid. A large proportion of these claims are undoubtedly genuine and are held by honest: men who came into their possession in a regular honest way. But the State, because it cannot have execution levied against it as may be done in the case of a private defaulting debtor, refuses to pay. It makes no effort to segregate the honest claims from the dishonest ones, but bas ap to this time rejected all alike as being tainted woth fread: Tivte te weither Tair wor kpaeét:~ A Bill hae been passed by the Assembly appropriating $107,000 to pay certain clalme. and the Senate is . asked to defeat it on the ground (1) that the State is hard up, and (2) that some of the coyote claims are fraudulent in whole or in part. The bolders of these claims bave waited several years for their money. The State’s financial straits do not absolve it from ite obligation to pay its debts, And no attempt. is. made to show what specific claims are fraudalent. Hiding bebind the State’s immunity from summary process in distraint does vot appeal to us as a very creditable expedient to escape payment of a liability invited by itself, #4444446 TRADE UNIONISM AND POLITICS HE distinction is clearly made by many intelligent workingmen that the labor union movement and union labor politics are not by any ‘means identical. There sre many men in the trades union movement who are absolutely opposed upon principle to the launching of a labor union political party. These men argue, and with much force, tbat so long ae the labor union movement confines itself to the protection of the interests of the worker through organization and co-operation it avoids the criticism and the antagonism engendered by entrance upon the political arens, So long as the trades unionist is able to present an appeal backed by the influence of a large independent labor vote that may be swung either for one or the other of the dominant political parties, the leaders of these organizations will be willing to make concessions to catch the labor vote. They are ready to grant such legislation as they believe wiil insure the support of the largest number of work=ing men. In this manner such important reforms as the Austrralian ballot, the eight hour day on public work and other meseures in which working men are interested and by which they are benefited have been brought about. But when the labor unions form & distinct and separate political party they antagonize the leaders of the existing parties and witbout'a permanent political organization of their own they are unable to secure as favorable legislation as they would through the political parties: which hold the balance of power. ’ The movement in the large cities of this State bas not been free from condemnation by many men who believe thoroughly in the principle of trades union. ism, but do not think that it shoald be made the vehicle by which cheap politicians may command the votes of the working men, ; Word was received in Nevada City last evening from Harbor Pit, a small railroad station on the line of the Southern Pacific Railroad, below Reno, announcing that George Muse, formerly of this city, had shot himself and wasdead. Whether the shooting was accidental or suicidal was not stated. Business Locals.

Thinking it may be of interest to our people to read something of the early history of Nevada county, we intend publishing from dey to day extracts from Bean’s History, which. was Iesued in 1867, The basin of Nevada is situated on a granite formation, extending soutbwesterly into the slate, somewhat in the form of a horse shoe. 1a this formation is a series of quartz veins, nearly parallel with each other, and having many points of resemblance. Their general course is about fifteen. degrees east of south, and all dip easterly, at angles not varsicg far from thirty-five degrees, At irregular distances along the ledges are “ore chutes,” or “chimneys,” containing rich rock, while in other places the rock will barely pay for working. The ore chutes extend in length from a few feet to several bundred feet, and dowoward indefinitely, inclining at various angles with the plane of the ledge, The Ural, or Cornish mine, ie situated on the northwesterly rim of the granite belt, and the Union mine on the southeasterly rim—the twomines being about three miles apart, and both of them in places cutting into the slate formation, Between these, are the Gold Tunnel, Soggs, Pennsylvania and otber well known mines, The Geld Tannel ;lelded upward of $800,= . 000 previous to 1855. In that year Cap. tain Kidd sold it toa company of Cornish miners, who worked it with little interraption for eight years longer, The mine was re-purchased by Oaptain Kidd and some Sen Francisco Capitalists, but was not worked in 1867. The California claim is an extension of the Gold Tunnel, on the south side of Deer creek. The Providence mine is the southerly extension of the Soggs. ‘ . South of the above-mentioned series of ledges, and near the apex of the granite formation, is another series baving the same general characteristics, with the exception that they dip to the west. The most noted of these are the Sneath and Clay, and Mohawk. The former was wor ked-steadily from 1863, and at times yielded immense re'arne. Tbe same company invested a large amount in erecting hoisting works and openiog the Uuion mine, Among the best mines in Nevada Town:hip were the Wigham and Bapner, both of which yielded large returus during 1867 The former ig situated south of the town and the latter southeast, both being in slate formalog, near its junction with the granite. The Lecompton mine, which in the course of two years yielded a profit Of $60,000 to its owners, is situated be tween the granite and slate, in plaves paesing from one rock to another, and retainiog ite course and dip. Io the north and south veins that have an easterly dip, the ore chutes, or chimneys, generally: incline to the corth, and in ledges dipping weet they focline to the south. There are probably exceptions, but this is the rule with the mines around Nevads. ‘The cbutes are more or less irregular, eometimes expanding in length, and again contracting, at different depths, Io opening mines managers now meke it their first business to ascertain the and when found follow them down. A neglect of this, through ignorance of the character of mineral veins, was the cause of many of the early failares in quartz mining. In the Ural mine the ore chute at the surface {is sixty feet in lengtb, and ata depth of a bundred and twenty feet its length is nearly 9 hundred feet, The mine is opened by .a tunnel ata depth of over three hundred feet, bat the length of the chute at that depth isnot ascertained. In the Soggs mice several distinct chutes. of rich ore have been worked to the lower level. The Gold Tannel paid very largely from the mouth of the tannél, at Deer creek, for a distance of six bundred feet porth—averaging, probably, fifty dollars a ton. The mine hés never been worked below the level of the creek. There are twc-or three extensive and rich chutes in the same ledge south of Deer creek. In the Sneath and Clay mine, the ore chute in the upper level is a hundred and* fifty feet in length, and contracta to -a hundred feet in the lower levels, 2 cts, Sold by W. D.
