THE MINING INDUSTRY.
Its Present Condition in the Nevada City
District.
[NUMBER EIGHT. ]
THE HOLME3’ QUARTZ MINE,
Situated on Canada Hill, ahaut half a
mile from Nevada City, the Holmes mine
enjoys the distinction of comprising a part
of one of the richést undeveloped mining
sections of this district. Adjoining as it
does the Mayflower mine, which at present is in such a flourishing condition, and
“* 4 lyig so contiguous to the old Charronat
: claim, from which over $1,000,000 has
been extracted in years past, it certainly
“has the merits of’ favorable locality to beprospector on this hill, will find himself be¢ wildered in a confusing network of ledges
.and veins, one of the unusual characteristics of which is-that they continue on their
‘regular course—each ledge cutting through
the other where they cross. . The: Holmes’
mine has been the property of Mr. Wm.
Holmes for the past fourteen years. The
property consists of two claims, each having an extent of 1500 feet. The main or
_Holmes’ ledge runs north and south and
“ pitches east. Some ore has been taken
from this ledge that .yielded $J20 per ton
in free gold carrying sulphutets which sold
for $87. A tunnel was opened in a cut in
uo a piece of ground purchased from the Charronat people which has now been driven
~ in 600 feet. This ledge was struck at a vertical depth of 100 feet at a distance of 350
feet from the mouth of the tunnel, It was
at this point that ore was encountered . that
rans from $30 to $120 per ton, Ore taken
out from other chutes have since averaged
$25 perton. It is expected that the other
ledge—called the North Star ledge will be
cut into at a distance of from 150, to 200
feet more of this tunnel. Water for power
can be had for the mine from the Idaho
ditch which at this point will give 350-foot
pressure. The mine is at present being
worked,ynder a lease by Thos. and James
Peard of this city.

Hoop’s Pris: for the . liver and. bowels,

Confiscation.
Eprror Transcripr: I do not exactly
res with my brother fireman, T. H. Carr,
in his position towards the owner of the
present water works, At the meeting held
last week, when the meeting adopted resolutions (prepared in advance by soime one)
commending the proposed new water syssystem from the map, and commented on
the situation the owner of the present system would be in if the proposed bonds
were voted. He stated substantially as 1
‘understand that upon the completion of the
new works the City Trustees would refuse
Mrs. Huntington a franchise to sell water
in this city, and then of-course the new
works would have all the business, as the
present owner could not sell water at any
price without a franchise,I do not know whether Mr. Carr speaks
authoritively for the Board of Trustees in
this matter or not, but if he does, and that
is. the position of the Board, I think
that all fair-minded citizens should vote
against the issue of bonds.
I know the present. water works are not
up to the standard, but Mrs. Huntington,
I believe, has agreed to put in improvements that will make the system a firstclass one. The improvements she contemplated before the water agitation began
W. E, Englebright, and‘I think it will be
in Nevada county who knows more about
water and water works than Mr. Englebright. And I do not think.the ‘‘distinguished engineers’ from Oakland, who
never saw Nevada City are as competent
judges. inthis matter as our own men are.
As it is, Mrs, Huntington has thousands
of dollars invested in the works, and I do
not think it is right to destroy her property
absolutely, without giving her some compensation. If this is the intention of the
Trustees, it seems to me to, be nothing
short of confiscation of her property.
I wonder how Mr, Carr would feel if,
under some authority, his drug store should
be taken away frjm him without giving h'm
one cent of compensation ; or how the other
members of the Board’ would feel if their
little business was confiscated. ;
I believe in fair play, and I do not believe
in anarchistic ideas, I think the proper
thing for the Trustees to. have done before
calling for bonds was to offer Mrs. Huntington a reasonable price for her works, and
theni, if she did not take it, to go ahead and
construct their own.
‘It is a sort of principle among Americans
that one’s private property shall not be
taken away, even for a public use, unless
the owners be compensated, and I believe this
idea has been ingrafted into our laws to a
certain extent, Andif the Board are going to ‘‘freeze her out” by refusing ‘to give,
her thé privilege-of selling” water at any
price, it amounts tof4aking sway her property without paying her anything for it.
Of course, the firemen want improvement
in the water system, but if Mrs. Huntington will give us the improvement promised,
I do not believe in confiscating her property,
and you can bet that there are others that
feel the same way.

Eloquent Speech,
The San Francisco Call in its report of
the State Miners’ Convention says :
What was’the most eloquent speech made
on the floor of the convention followed. It
was delivered by R. I. Thomas of Nevadain
seconding the nomination of Sonntag and
d much to dispel the shadow that had fallen on the general harmony. He made reference to the bitter fight that had taken
place in the legislature halls at Sacramento
between the hydraulickers and the valley
farmers, describing modestly the prominent
part he had taken in securing -a victory for
the miners, and alleging that it was largely
due to this victory that the miners and
farmers were eventually’ brought together,
to thenceforth work in harmony,
~

The City Trustees have had three or four
maps of the proposed new water system
posted at different: places around town, in
order that the people may see where the
main pipes willrun, Since the maps were
put up they have been closely examined byhundreds of people.

TOTAL ABSTINENCE IMPOSSIBLE,
But Here is Something Just as
Good.
In spite of all that has been said and
written by advocates of total abstinence
. it is indisputable that modern methods of
work and liy ng make the occasional and
even frequent use of gentle stimul.
ok og beneficial if not “abaaltitely np
— the great majority of men—especially those ingeess ‘in byginess and mental pursuits. Lack of exercise and the excesSive Consumption of nerve force and vital
energy consumed by the brain breeds sluggishness of the digestive system’ which re-.
acts on the brain.
A corrective stimulant is needed.
The curse of alcoholic and vinous liquors
is that they over-stimulate and create a
morbid appetite for more. Peruvian Bitters, though composed largely of old California Brandy, have no Gack elfect. It permits the healthy, stimulating effect of the
brandy, but completely obliterates its tendency to create a morbid desire. Peruvian
Bitters is a palatable but powerful tonic
that impels sluggish functions to normal
action; expelling cold, fevers, malarial
poisons and other disease germs; building
up the weak and convalescent, and by promoting a regular and healthy appetite, perfect. digestion, sound sleep, and steady
nerves, tends to produce physical perfeotion, good cheer and increase of human
happiness. ;
