Dd COME OFF THEIR: PERCH. Some Advice fo Those Having Mines For Sale, Today’s San Francisco News Letter says: Promoters and their agents are still nibbling around several of the heavy-weight mines ofthe State. These include the veterans of many an engagement at home and abroad, none of which have ever yet amounted to much more than paper talk. It is not as easy to sella mine for a million in London now as to roll off a log. Of course, it would be impossible to convince many people of this fact. They like to have millions whispered in their ear, and are always ready to confide in one o° the many individuals who are always buzzing around, introducing their influential connections abroad; if they do not happen to be one of the thousand and one peripatetic agents of the Rothschilds. This is the best advertised house on earth, and it does not -cost them a cent either. We have had awenty men here within the past year, ;and every man Jack of them posed as an agent of this wealthy firm. It has -just about come to this, that a mining promoter who has not the talismanic connection labeled all over him like the continental railroad and hotel ticket display on some. globe-trotting snob’s handbag, he is likely to be branded as a yellow dog in the “perfesh.” There must be a regular army of these people in America, and if the disease is as bad in Australia and South Africa, what a force this old house could musterina pinch! It is now said that the Royal mine is in a fair way to be taken up, under the ad‘vice of Wm. B. Farrish, the well-known mining engineer. The Nevada. City mine is again open for another engagement, according to latest report, and so is the Confidence of Tuolumne, the Bleck Oak, and a dozen or more of the old stand-bys,which for years past have braved with impunity the scrutiny of investors here and elsewhere. If in some cases the owners were to come down from their perches in the matter of price, it is possible they might have been relieved of their burdens and been able to follow ‘the example of some other great and good men, who now enjoy life idling about the hotel lobbies, while the fellows who bought them out are rustling togeta return from their investment in the mines. Buying a property and putting up twenty or thirty years of an estimated annual yield for the privilege of developing the same if it happens to be in the ground, is a pretty safe proposition for the seller, if it isa rather problematical venture for the man who parts with the sack. Butall the fools are not dead, for which the genial promotion shark will probably feel inclined to remark, “let us thank the Lord.” PERSCNAL FOINTERS.

Delegates to the State Miners’ Convention are requested to call at the South Yuba Company’s office in this city and get. their certificates so they may take advantage of the special railroad rates; RESTRICTING MARRIAGES. The One Year Limit Has Proven an Entire Failure. Less than eight months’ trial has conclusively demonstrated, says the Marysville Democrat, that the law to restrict marriages under certain conditions has proven a failure. A divorced person has the same right, after a decree of separation has been entered, to contract marriage as those who never were joined in wedlock.. When such persons once decide upon a day for a wedding and there be no valid objection on the part of parents or guardians, they should be permitted to act in freedom to consummate the union at home among relatives and friends. The present law has. been the means of sending 28 couple to Reno, about a dozen to Oregon and several others out on the ocean to be married, all in less than seven months. The extra expense to these people has been not less than $2,000; at the same time the home minister, the hotels and county treasary have been losers, as well as the loeal livery stable owner, the railway and the stage lines. The absurdity ot enacting such law is aptly illustrated in a local case. One week ago a decree of separation was entered in the Superior Court of Yuba county, the man and wife being residents of Browns Valley. Wednesday evening the divorced woman and her vew partner returned from Reno, bearing a marriage certificate of the State of Nevada, the extra expense over a marriage at home being about $50,-but they are “at home” now. oo -+—_—_____— THE DEDICATORY BALL.

Next Year's Convention of the State Miners’ Association. It is not at all unlikely that an effort will be made by the Nevada county delegates to next week’s annual convention of the Miners’ Association to have the next meeting of that body held in this city. San Francisco has heretofore had a monopoly of the convention, and it is understood that many of the delegates of that city think it would bé eminently proper to come here next year. The Nevada countyans have not yet definitely decided upon urging the matter, but they will do so if they do not find a serious and widespread objection to prevail when they get to San FranWant .to Hy draulic.
