The printed Great Reg Registers that are to _ be used at the coming election have arrived, and the officials at the Clerk’s office have conimenced to put them up with the other supplies that are to be sent to the different precincts.

Under the existing law ten copies have to be sent to each precinet.An Increased Majority, Mr, Estee assures his friends that. every county in the State will give an increased Republican majority, except one. When asked what one he refused to give his opinion. Poe SUE IRS Or CRETE A Disgrace to the County. If the voters of Nevada county do not give a large majority for Grove.-L.

PRESENT OUTLOOK THERE. One of the Most. Productive and Pic° turesque Portions of Our County. Nevada county possesses a variety of, climate and scenery that’ is unequaled any: where in California. In the eastern part of the county is the mighty Sierra range with its snow-capped hills rising tier above tier until they seem to touch the very canopy of heaven, From the rolling foothills, which areabout 600 feet above the level of the sea, we climb’the sloping sides of the Sierras until we reach an altitude of 8000 feet. In its broad area of a thousand square miles it embraces every climate from the semi~tropical warmth of the foothills to the snow and ice of the summit. There arg places in the lower foothills where snow is seldom seen, while in other places in the volve and the snow never departs. In the. extreme western part of the county citrus fruits grow to perfection, also, the olive and other semi-tropical fruits, whi'e in the central portion, at an altitude of 2,400 feet, the Bartlett pear and other fruits of the temperate zone develop their best flavor. On Sunday last the writer and Ed, W. Schmidt, ‘four next Public Administrator,” paid a visit to the San Juan Ridge. Ii was a typical autumn morning, The sun shone in all ita beauty and splendor. Old Sol seemed imbued with the idea that his precence was essential on this particular day, and he was generous toa fault, Nature was dressed in its best garb; the foilage of the plants and trees was extremely gorgeous. The warmth of the sun and the exhalation of Nature’s garden caused the birds to warble their sweetest and noblest songs, The drive was a delightful one, one of the best in the county, . and its present splendid condition is due to the energetic efforts of the efficient Supervisor, F, M. Pridgeon, The scenery on this road beggars description. The traveler is surmitable depths. plants and flowers, others on the Ridge, has a history replete tion of the county. In. the early fifties, when men were flocking to the newly disof their nativity, this town. was organized, longtoms, rockers and pans—crude utensils the gravel and extract the gold. Situated at Columbia Hill is the famous Eureka Lake and South. Yuba Canal Company’s mine. This is one of the largest hydraulic mines on the ridge and has a number of years it was successfully worked and then came the crash in the form of the Sawyer decision, Under the Caminétti law this company was granted a permit to re~ sume hydraulic mining.. and they are at the present time operating one six-inch monisor, which employs quite a force of men, But whilst much time and money have been devoted to the successful development of the auriferous deposits, quartz ledges existing in this section have not been altotogether neglected, With the yuppression of hydraulic mining the people who had established homes there began to turn their ittention to the system of quartz mining. In this venture they have been very sucvessful, The famous Delhi mine is situated about six miles frem the town This -mine, although now suspended, has been very productive and has materially: replenished the treasury of its owners. The Enverprise is another ‘miné owned by the game company and situated about 800° feet weat of the Delhi. being dune at this mine, The St, Gothard mine, which is owned isalso located here, There is not much. doing on this ntine at the present time and very few men are employed. The Live Oak lumbia Hill on the same side of the river as the Delhi, a distauce of 500 feet and some valuable} the Gepertatendent of the. on informed us that the coedingly ht, Lea gee a ledge is eighteen inches thick has an average value of $10 per ton. whe Columbia Hill is not: so proeperous as at some periods of her history, the outlook is far from discouraging. . ] okee a: d found everything quiet, owing t Proen Cobessbia Sit ee ienensielselion Wan . prosperity and‘contentment beamed from the countenances of rich and poor,now there ‘is sorrow and depression. There are some quartz ledges being developed in the surrounding country, prominent among which is the Quick Bros.’ property at Badger Hill. This mine is in a prosperous condition. The ore is of a very high grade. The sulphurets will average $120 a ton, The Superintendent, Paul Quick, Jr., informed us that the vein is fifteen inches thick and every part ofit shows free gold. This mine. is employing several men and there is every evidence of its becoming a permanent property. SAN JUAN, We reached San Juan in the evening just as Nature was arraying itself in the robes of night, Everything was quiet and serene. This town is rapidly recovering from the shock received through the suppression of hydraulic mining. “The, people are confident of the future happiness and prosperity of the town and they bear a cheerful expression. San Juan is the most beautiful town in the mountains. The streets are broad and well laid, Some of the residences are commodious and very artistic. The towiowns its own water works, and the buildings are protected by an efficient fire department. Large and commodious stores containing every variety of merchandise are found on the main street, Fruit grows in abundance here, and it reaches a the valley, Surrounding the.town are several nicely arranged and extensive orchards. The people are kind and generous to a fault. They are aware of the great injustice which they have suffered through the inhibition of hydraulic mining, but they bear their grievances with a noble and heroic patience which must eventually win for them the sympathy and support of every individual who understands their position. San Juan was once the center of.a large and prosperous mining community. On every hand were evidences of activity and success, which must have been gratifying to every resident, In close proximity to the town is the famous Sebastopol mine, which has been great in extent and the richness of its gravel. This mine‘has produced several millions of dollars, and when in ‘full operation gave employment to a large number of men, At the present time several quartz ful, will prove a valuable adjunct to the town, : Prominent among the quartz mines in close proximity to San Juan are the Boas Mine, Penetrator and the Crane and Wright. The mines are all located on the same in developing a fine. body of mineral. A dred feet of backs ready for stoping. The mineral, ‘The Penetrator is owned by the Huckins brothers of San Juan. They are oping a productive mine are very favorable, to assert that in the future it will make San as it was during the zenith of the hydraulic boom, FRENCH CORRAL, At this burg we found the condition of things to be more favorable than for many Milton Company’ 's famous mine. The gravel in this mine is exceptionally rich, Some of it has-paid as high as eighty-one cents to the inch, and the average yield is 41.5 cents
to the “cubic yard, which is far ahead in richness of all other Nevada county mines. Hydraulicking is not being prosecuted on account of the impositions of the Caminetti act, At the present time they are engaged crushing the cement gravel which is found in the bed of the deposit, A twenty-stamp men are employed. The gravel pays well for ,crushing. French Corral is rapidly coming: to public notice as a fruit producer, It is the citrus belt of Nevada county, and all the fruits of the semi-tropics are grown here. Itis also a magaificent agricultural region.

G. Waite, which will take place in this city Friday at 2e™M., and he will be interred in the State~ burial plot. State Treasurer McDonald was chosen as Chairman of the meeting and T, L. Eby as Secretary. Mr. McDonald, in taking the chair, while thanking the assembly fir the honor done him, expressed his deep regret at the sad oocasion which had brought theni together. It was hardly necessary to say anything in reference to Mr. Waite. All knew him and knew his character, and the many sterling qualities that endeared him to those that knew him, They had met here to arrange for the funeral cerémonies, and he was ready to listen to any suggestions on that subject. On motion of W. E. Hedley, the Chair appointed a committee of four to decorate the Assembly Chamber and arrange for the funeral services. The committee appointed was Surveyor-General Reichert, W, W.

State Superintendent Anderson, W. P. Mathews, Albert Hart, Adjutant-General Allen and J. Dunn were appointed as a committee to draft suitable resolutions, which will be engrossed and presented to Mrs. Waite, The body will arrive from Alameda tonight, and will lie in state in the Avsémbly Chamber from 9 4.
