[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.

The. 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. Exempt FIREMAN. Oct, 18, 1895. : ——-— + e@er--—Stockholders Coming. ~ It is expected that forty or more stockholders of the Cadmus and the Home mines will arrive in this city on November Ist. They will come to see the above mines, which are situated in this district, a short -distanve below town. A movement is on foot to hire a band and give the visitors a formal reception, for the purpose of making them feel welcome and to also show that the people of Nevada City appreciate the efforts that these gentlemen are having put forth in the development of the properties named. ‘The idea is a good ‘one, eEose cet ote Don’t Delay.

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, ~ Maps on Exhibition.

In spite of all that has been said and written by advocates of total abstinence . it is indisputable that modern methods of

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. ; Mack & Co., San Francisco.
