EE EDITORIAL NOTES On Various Subjects Which Are of Interst to the People. It is stated that our. sister city, Grase Valley, is seriously contemplating “the organization of a vigilance committee. This step'is made necessary by the presence in her midst of a number of worthless. char— acters and tramps: These unwelcdime visitors have become so numerous of late that their very presence is a menace to life and property. criminately and the police are evidently They rob and plunder indispowerless to prevent their wholesale depredations. This is on account of ‘the mandate of the Supervisors that only desperate characters be arrested, because of the lack of funds. Heroic action is deemed necessary and the patriotic citizens have undertaken to purge the city of this tinwholesome and undesirable element, It is a commendable action and it may not be long before Nevada City may becompelled to emulate Grass Valley as the tramp element is becoming intolerable here. The election on Saturday last evinced:.an interest in school affairs worthy of adimiration and respect. Never before in the history of this city has such an interest been manifested ina school election, and the only regrettable incident was the personal phase which the fight assumed. Politics and personal grievances should not .be permitted te enter within the realin of such an election and our public schools shculd be kept free from such corrupt influences, The public school system evolved in this country ie the American’s boast and an object of admiratioa in foreign countries, It is the foundation of the Nation's prosperity, the hope of its commerce and finance; the bulwark against ignorance and misgovernment, and we cannot be tyo zealous and circuspect ib guarding it again): insidious and depraved infi uences, It took thirty years of incessant bydraulicking to destroy property to the value of $2,510,853, while it only took ten yeara of rain storins and freshets to destroy property valued at $2,871,585. could have been defrayed by six months’ This whole amount operations of the hydraulic mines then working.

We may learn many beautiful lessons from the evolution which occurs at this time in the natural world, They are capable of a personal application and if so applied may result in much good. It behooves those who are interested in the city’s welfare to exert themselves in making the city clean and presentable. Those who have property.should improve it to the fullest extent. repair so that the pedestrian can walk withKeep your sidewalks in proper out fear of falling. Use cement walks wherever practicable.

This is not strange in-view-of the fact that—it is strongly opposed ta the production of gold by any process whatever. That, journal knows it must. accept one of two evils and the farther the scene of the evil is removed the better the Record-Union will be pleased. ‘Slickens Damaged eaity. One of the strong contentions of the AntiDebris Association is that hydraulic mining inflicts irreparable injury on the valley lands. We do not dispute the assertion that partial injury has been intlicted on cértain—lands, but we do object to the glaring misrepresentations of the Record-Union when discussing this subject. The amount of injury inflicted on the property of the farmers is trifling and insignificant compared to the great loss sustained by the miners through the suppression of hydraulic mining. In fact, the disparity isso great that there is It should be remembered that most of the lands covered with really no comparison. debris from the mines are tule lands and that the detritus hes improved rather than injured them. But we are willing to give the farmers full credit for the loss they have suffered and to that end will call into requisition some facts and figures from official sources. The Yuba, Feather and Bear are the three rivers which have been principally affected by. the slickens from the mines. These rivers drain the principal hydraulic regions and the Jands adjacent to them have received the greatest damage from the process of bydraulicking. In the report of the Board of Government Engineers for 1891 there are some figures pertinent to this question. On, page 15 of that report there is a summajy of the injury inflicted on the lands through hydraulic mining. The numbers of acres partially destroyed along these rivers from the inception of placer and hydraulie miaing in the early fifties to the year 1880 was 41,046. mated at $2,5 The value of this injury was esti10,853. From 1880 to~1890 the total number ef acres destroyed was 39,214 amounting in value to $2,871,585. The total loss to the farmers of the valley amounted to $5,382,438. will cover the entire loss from the comThis amount mencement of bydraulicking up to the present time, George Ohleyer himself adindits that this sum fully covers the tetal loss The reader should understand that the Governsustained by the people of the valley, ment Board of Engineers in collecting data had to rely on the information they received from relative to the damage of property, etc., the farmers themselves, And everyone knows what little regard the valleyites have for justice and veracity when it comes fo an appraisal of the property injured through this system of mining. The Engineers comment on this fact.and say, ‘‘the estimated value had to be based somewhat upon information gathered from interested *individuals,”” They further remark: ‘‘It is conceded, and as witnessed’ by the Board, that certain lands are capable of being improved by the addition of quantities of It is also stated that some lands are benefitted by the rising of the adjacent small slickens, water, which makes them nioist and cultivatable.” It will be perceived that hydraulic mining is not so extremely injurious as they would have us believe, The intelligent reader will obsérve from the figures—and figures don’t lie—quoted above that while the acreage destroyed from 1880 to 1890 is slightly lower the value. of property is nearly $400,000 in excess of the amount injured during the previous thirty What does this prove? It proves the fact that more years of incessant hydraulicking. property hag been injured and destroyed through the floods and freshets caused by the storms of recent yéars than through the It took thirty years of incessant hydraulicking to. destroy land to the value of $2,510,835, while~it only took ten years of rain storms to destroy land to the value of $2,871,585, for it should be remembered that since 1880 hydraulic process of hydraulic mining. mining has been almost entirely suspended . i <> The Bribery Trial. . were left behind, ' The case of Hung Hi, charged with’ attempting to bribe an officer, came on for tria] in-the Superior Court this morning.

Last—evening about 7 o'clock, Mrs, W.

There was nobody there, but somebody had been there, as he-soon learned, for on looking to see if his watch and chain had been takeh he discovered that aten—dollar gold piece which was fastened to thé-chain as a charm had disappeared, % * * Pianiste, and chain Nothing else_about the place was stolen, so far as could be learned, Upon going into the back yard and leoking around for traces of the thief, Mr. Sigourney found a number of tracks that had been made by tle shoe’of a girl or lady, It is supposed that the theft was committed by a female. oe A Quiet Wedding.
