San Franctsco, Sept. 10, 1894, “ My Dear Traxscrirr: The other day I wandered into the Custom House, the scene of my. former greatness. On such occasions, when one so distinguished as myself visits a public’ office, it is customary to pay one’s respects to the head of the institution. Mr. Wise, _ the Collecter, and myself are as warm friends as one can find in a day’s journey. I am a straight Republican, He isa straight Democrat. We understand each other’s position perfectly. Tam familiar with Custom House business, so I have watched Mr. Wise’s administration of affairs there with more than ordinary interest. I was received, as I knew I would be, with the utmost friendship and kindness. Business was rushing, but he wanted to talk to me, and I stayed. I can state that no Collector has ever made a better record than John H, Wise. With us it is ‘‘John” and ‘‘Walter,”’ T love him ae a brother, andT am glad that I can truthfully say these pleasant things sbout as good a man as ever trod in two shoes, Iam under no obligations to him, either, I am proud to call him friend. _ Walking down the stairs I strayed into the business, or executive office, of the Naval Officer, Seated at the desk which I had oceupied.for so many years was an. old man with bent figure ‘and gray beard and hair. The face was familiar, The eyes. were bright, and when he arose from his seat the step was elastic as that of a boy of sixteen. Again was I greeted cordially, and E, W. Maslin and 1 stood there and talked of Nevada county, its men, ite mines, its ups and downs, until I reminded him that Thad a mission, I was your representative, my beloved paper, and I had positive orders to hunt up all Nevada county people, tell what they had done, what they were doing, and to spare neither ‘‘race, color or previous condition of servitude,” Let us see about “Ed.” I am familiar in my language. He was born in 1834, Figure it out, oh, ladies! In the spring of 1858 he arrived in Grasse Valley, where he mined, and by the dim light of a candle he studied law, He was admitted to the bar and in the fall of 1859, when but 25 years of age, he beat Sargent and Hupp for the District Attorneyship, He was a Douglass Democrat, and was the youngeat man ever elected to that important position, Will you please excuse me if I quote a little . from Shakespeare at this point.? “There is # tide in the affairs of men, Which, taken at the tlood, leads on to fortune; Omitted, all the voyage of their lives -Is bound in shallows and in miseries.” Why should I quote this, may be asked. Because ‘‘Ed.” Maslin was the original locator of the Idaho and Maryland quartz mines in Grass Valley township. To those who are familiar with the immense amounts of dividends paid by the Idaho it will he. unnecessary to make any application to this quotation, The Maryland, the natural suocessor of the Idaho, as the Idaho was of the righnéss,: How he lost them I don’t know. My friend, 8, P. Dorsey, controls the Maryland, I understand, “Ed.” gyrated around considerably, By turns he was Secretary to Governor Irwin, Secretary of the State Board of Equalization, practiced law and planted a vineyard in Sonoma county, was elected Soretary of the State Board of Trade and when John P, Irish took the position of Naval Officer he appointed ‘Ed,” his deputy. He has ‘‘swung around the circle” considerably, don’t you think so ? SOME MORE OF ‘THEM, As I stated in one of my former letters I desire to be fair in the vase of Max Popper, he is being hounded, This should be miliar with & great many things that I propose to bring to the notice of your readers, as time permits, Let it be understood that. Tam, like my dear departed friend, Dr. Scudder, ‘A Black Republican to the backbone.” I-wunt to say thas the last Republican Board of Supervisors was the most corrupt, the most daring in their. methods, that ever came under my observation. Let me tell you that they flocked to the saloon at No. 16 Third street, and received their orders from Kelly and Crimmins, and while neither one of these men appeared at the sessions of the Board, their orders were carried out to to the letter. The members went in poor—they. came out rich, The majority of that Board had debts. These debts have been paid, mortgages have been raised, and many of them have taken a trip to Europe with their families, Ail of this on $100 per month. Do you want their names? Well, I will give them whenever called for. It was for this reason that Col, Burns and his friends started the Non-Partisan movement of two years ago. Mr, Fitch, the proprietor and managing editor of the Call and Bulletin, was ove of the committee that nominated that ticket. Mr. Eliert was elected Mayor, Mr. Widber, Treasurer, That was all, I forgot—Mr, Forman was elected Supervisor from the Fifth Ward. The Democratic members of “.

This will be called the in his opinions; and one of his hobbies is an As I rode down Market street the other day my attention was attracted to a slight figure, stoop-shouldered, sandy complexioned, and hair and beard sprinkled with gray. “By Jove!” I thought, “‘tiere comes a man I have forgotten, It was no less a person than Judge J. C. Palmer. He was for a long time an Inspector in the Custom Honse, but at present I do not believe he is doing anything. He has béen married three times, is now # widower, and I guess is willing to be married again, Have any eligibles up your way? Do you not think that a man who has been married three times deserves to be canonized ? : Water Mzap, For Public Administrator. E, W.

Baldwin and son, is situated on Gold Flat, 800 yards southeast of the famous old Sneath & Clay mine, ‘An incline shaft has been sunk to a depth of Bightyseven feet, and the ledge in the bottom is from ten to fourteen inches wide, The quartz is heavily sulphuretted and shows free gold. Crushings made have paid from $25 to over $60 per ton, not including the sulphurets. An assay of the rock made some time ago showed it to contain $226.36 per ton in’ gold and five ounces of silver. “Water level hasbeen reached and the owners of the mine, being poor men, are withont the means to put up the necessary pumping and hoisting machinery, conse quently. they are obliged to quit work. There is no question but what they have a good mine; all that. is needed is to open it up properly. Thie is only another instance of the necessity of capital in developing and working gold mines, and’ isa plain verification of the saying that it takea money to make money: Here is a ice for moneyed men to invest, as we understand the owners of the Morning Star miué are anxious to enter into negotiations with capitalista in regard to putting up machinery, or with a view of selling the property outright. The proximity of this mine to the Sneath & Clay, and the splendid prospects that have been found go to show that the latter mine is in a rich quartz section, Kxperienced mining men who know the full history there in years past was not sufficient to correctly determine the extent or value off the mine, « The quartz taken out was immeneely rich, and when this rich pay shoot was exhausted the mine was said to be worked out. It was the popular theory in those days that a quartz ledge would pinch out after it had been worked to a depth of a few hundred feet, Operations on the Sneath few hundred feet was reached. Very little real development work was ever done. It was one of those rare instances where a mine pays right from the start, The ledge was very rich when first discovered and continued #0 for a long time, the output of the mine making its two owners quite wealthy, notwithstanding the great expense incurred in putting up hoisting works and a mill and the careless, wasteful manage ment that was then in vogue as compared with the methods of the present day. It is the opinion of experts that the country from the Merrimac to the Sneath & Clay is one of the best quartz mining sections in the State and only needs development to demonstrate the correctness of that belief. weather, nothing is as good as Ayer’s Sarsaparilla, ~ eons In the city of Augusta, Ga., there are 17,000 women and 15,000 men, although in the State at large the men outnumber the women by 2000, ie The Fondest Hour Memory Reealis, The question naturally suggests iteelf, Which is “the fondest: hour memory recalls?” Has the reader, whose attention we hope to engage, ever ‘had a controversy with his stomach on the subject of dyspepsia.

Up to about a weék ago everything was serene in the Democratic ranks of this county, Only a few candidates were in the . field for offices and it was thought that those few would have plain sailing in getting nominations for the respective offices. Now a change bas come over ‘de spirit ob dar dreams,” and a very lively conteat will take place in the convention which con-venes in this city onSaturday next. The fight up to this writing is confined to the offices of Sheriff, Clerk and Assessor, and it is getting to be red hot. Considerable bad blood is being exposed to public gaze, aod it would not be surprising that after the convention the defeated candidates will be, buoking like wild steers, or kicking worse than mules, or in other words they will turn to the Republicans or Populists for consolation. The mean political opponents are just chuckling in their sleeves, as they it as a good omen for the success of their respective. parties. 5 It is a fact, but let it be said softly, however, that meetings in dark rooms and behind locked doors are being held nightly for the purpose of putting up jobs to clean out the other fellow, What the result will be is hard to conjecture, but one thing ie evident and that is that there is some heavy manipulation going on.

A press telegram sent. from Washington Saturday says: Represen:ative Caminetti is the only member of the California dele. gation remaining in Washington, and he expects to leave for California next week, Tonight he gave a correspondent the following statement as to his future official course: “I have admitted to great disappointment on my failure to obtain appropriations for restraining works on the Yuba and other streams. However, I did all I could, and have never-feared to meet my constituents on that or any other question. What is more, I didn’t intend to stup work. I will be in office until the 4th of March next, In the short session it is the intention to act on the re port of the Senate Committee on Com? merece after a personal examination of the sites for the deep-water harbor in Southern California has. been made. *SAll the people of California know that the river systems need additional protection and the producers in the two great valleys greater opportunities to use them, Beaides, the building of these restraining dams will give greater latitude for the working of hydraulic mines under the law without injury to the rivers and valley lands. ‘‘A comparison of these living ‘necessities with the demand for an artificial deep sca harbor, either at Santa Monica or San Pedro, is one that cannot be made by any logic to subordinate the former project to either of the latter, One man, or ten men even, may not be able to get an appropriation in Congress for a new project, but a like number may prevent one from being made, as was the case on the restraining dam proposition, One thing 1 will say, I will not consent, in committee or in the House, to favorable action on the new harbor project, no matter where it is placed, unless our rivers receive auch attention, by means of these dams and gineers as absolutely necessary, ‘I endeavored to get autherity from the River and Harbor Committee of the House to examine our rivers and other works, but consideration was prevented, not by Kilgore’s proverhal kick, as.was stated in the California press, but on the simple effective objection of Congressman Baker, (R.), of New Mampshire. ‘I have assurance from Senator Ransom, Chairman of the Senate Committes, and a friend of the restraining dam proposition, that his committee will explore onr rivers and tributarios, “Phetrip will take place in November, I have assurances also from a majority of the House committee that they will visit us at some time, This will give the various interests affected an opportunity that must H0t be neglected.” ARRIVALS AT THE National Exchange, Broad Street. ere ee Mra, N.

The face was familiar, The eyes. were bright, and when he arose from his seat the step was elastic as that of a boy of sixteen. Again was I greeted cordially, and E, W. Maslin and 1 stood there and talked of Nevada county, its men, ite mines, its ups and downs, until I reminded him that Thad a mission, I was your representative, my beloved paper, and I had positive orders to hunt up all Nevada county people, tell what they had done, what they were doing, and to spare neither ‘‘race, color or previous condition of servitude,” Let us see about “Ed.” I am familiar in my language. He was born in 1834, Figure it out, oh, ladies! In the spring of 1858 he arrived in Grasse Valley, where he mined, and by the dim light of a candle he studied law, He was admitted to the bar and in the fall of 1859, when but 25 years of age, he beat Sargent and Hupp for the District Attorneyship, He was a Douglass Democrat, and was the youngeat man ever elected to that important position, Will you please excuse me if I quote a little . from Shakespeare at this point.? “There is # tide in the affairs of men, Which, taken at the tlood, leads on to fortune; Omitted, all the voyage of their lives -Is bound in shallows and in miseries.” Why should I quote this, may be asked. Because ‘‘Ed.” Maslin was the original locator of the Idaho and Maryland quartz mines in Grass Valley township. To those who are familiar with the immense amounts of dividends paid by the Idaho it will he. unnecessary to make any application to this quotation, The Maryland, the natural suocessor of the Idaho, as the Idaho was of the righnéss,: How he lost them I don’t know. My friend, 8, P. Dorsey, controls the Maryland, I understand, “Ed.” gyrated around considerably, By turns he was Secretary to Governor Irwin, Secretary of the State Board of Equalization, practiced law and planted a vineyard in Sonoma county, was elected Soretary of the State Board of Trade and when John P, Irish took the position of Naval Officer he appointed ‘Ed,” his deputy. He has ‘‘swung around the circle” considerably, don’t you think so ? SOME MORE OF ‘THEM, As I stated in one of my former letters I desire to be fair in the vase of Max Popper, he is being hounded, This should be miliar with & great many things that I propose to bring to the notice of your readers, as time permits, Let it be understood that. Tam, like my dear departed friend, Dr. Scudder, ‘A Black Republican to the backbone.” I-wunt to say thas the last Republican Board of Supervisors was the most corrupt, the most daring in their. methods, that ever came under my observation. Let me tell you that they flocked to the saloon at No. 16 Third street, and received their orders from Kelly and Crimmins, and while neither one of these men appeared at the sessions of the Board, their orders were carried out to to the letter. The members went in poor—they. came out rich, The majority of that Board had debts. These debts have been paid, mortgages have been raised, and many of them have taken a trip to Europe with their families, Ail of this on $100 per month. Do you want their names? Well, I will give them whenever called for. It was for this reason that Col, Burns and his friends started the Non-Partisan movement of two years ago. Mr, Fitch, the proprietor and managing editor of the Call and Bulletin, was ove of the committee that nominated that ticket.

Baldwin and son, is situated on Gold Flat, 800 yards southeast of the famous old Sneath & Clay mine, ‘An incline shaft has been sunk to a depth of Bightyseven feet, and the ledge in the bottom is from ten to fourteen inches wide, The quartz is heavily sulphuretted and shows free gold. Crushings made have paid from $25 to over $60 per ton, not including the sulphurets. An assay of the rock made some time ago showed it to contain $226.36 per ton in’ gold and five ounces of silver. “Water level hasbeen reached and the owners of the mine, being poor men, are withont the means to put up the necessary pumping and hoisting machinery, conse quently. they are obliged to quit work. There is no question but what they have a good mine; all that. is needed is to open it up properly. Thie is only another instance of the necessity of capital in developing and

working gold mines, and’ isa plain verification of the saying that it takea money to make money: Here is a ice for moneyed men to invest, as we understand the owners of the Morning Star miué are anxious to enter into negotiations with capitalista in regard to putting up machinery, or with a view of selling the property outright. The proximity of this mine to the Sneath & Clay, and the splendid prospects that have been found go to show that the latter mine is in a rich quartz section, Kxperienced mining men who know the full history there in years past was not sufficient to correctly determine the extent or value off the mine, « The quartz taken out was immeneely rich, and when this rich pay shoot was exhausted the mine was said to be worked out. It was the popular theory in those days that a quartz ledge would pinch out after it had been worked to a depth of a few hundred feet, Operations on the Sneath few hundred feet was reached. Very little real development work was ever done. It was one of those rare instances where a mine pays right from the start, The ledge was very rich when first discovered and continued #0 for a long time, the output of the mine making its two owners quite wealthy, notwithstanding the great expense incurred in putting up hoisting works and a mill and the careless, wasteful manage ment that was then in vogue as compared with the methods of the present day. It is the opinion of experts that the country from the Merrimac to the Sneath & Clay is one of the best quartz mining sections in the State and only needs development to demonstrate the correctness of that belief. weather, nothing is as good as Ayer’s Sarsaparilla, ~ eons In the city of Augusta, Ga., there are 17,000 women and 15,000 men, although in the State at large the men outnumber the women by 2000, ie The Fondest Hour Memory Reealis, The question naturally suggests iteelf, Which is “the fondest: hour memory recalls?” Has the reader, whose attention we hope to engage, ever ‘had a controversy with his stomach on the subject of dyspepsia.

Up to about a weék ago everything was serene in the Democratic ranks of this county, Only a few candidates were in the . field for offices and it was thought that those few would have plain sailing in getting nominations for the respective offices. Now a change bas come over ‘de spirit ob dar dreams,” and a very lively conteat will take place in the convention which con-venes in this city onSaturday next. The fight up to this writing is confined to the offices of Sheriff, Clerk and Assessor, and it is getting to be red hot. Considerable bad blood is being exposed to public gaze, aod it would not be surprising that after the convention the defeated candidates will be, buoking like wild steers, or kicking worse than mules, or in other words they will turn to the Republicans or Populists for consolation. The mean political opponents are just chuckling in their sleeves, as they it as a good omen for the success of their respective. parties. 5 It is a fact, but let it be said softly, however, that meetings in dark rooms and behind locked doors are being held nightly for the purpose of putting up jobs to clean out the other fellow, What the result will be is hard to conjecture, but one thing ie evident and that is that there is some heavy manipulation going on.

A press telegram sent. from Washington Saturday says: Represen:ative Caminetti is the only member of the California dele. gation remaining in Washington, and he expects to leave for California next week, Tonight he gave a correspondent the following statement as to his future official course: “I have admitted to great disappointment on my failure to obtain appropriations for restraining works on the Yuba and other streams. However, I did all I could, and have never-feared to meet my constituents on that or any other question. What is more, I didn’t intend to stup work. I will be in office until the 4th of March next, In the short session it is the intention to act on the re port of the Senate Committee on Com? merece after a personal examination of the sites for the deep-water harbor in Southern California has. been made. *SAll the people of California know that the river systems need additional protection and the producers in the two great valleys greater opportunities to use them, Beaides, the building of these restraining dams will give greater latitude for the working of hydraulic mines under the law without injury to the rivers and valley lands. ‘‘A comparison of these living ‘necessities with the demand for an artificial deep sca harbor, either at Santa Monica or San Pedro, is one that cannot be made by any logic to subordinate the former project to either of the latter, One man, or ten men even, may not be able to get an appropriation in Congress for a new project, but a like number may prevent one from being made, as was the case on the restraining dam proposition, One thing 1 will say, I will not consent, in committee or in the House, to favorable action on the new harbor project, no matter where it is placed, unless our rivers receive auch attention, by means of these dams and gineers as absolutely necessary, ‘I endeavored to get autherity from the River and Harbor Committee of the House to examine our rivers and other works, but consideration was prevented, not by Kilgore’s proverhal kick, as.was stated in the California press, but on the simple effective objection of Congressman Baker, (R.), of New Mampshire. ‘I have assurance from Senator Ransom, Chairman of the Senate Committes, and a friend of the restraining dam proposition, that his committee will explore onr rivers and tributarios, “Phetrip will take place in November, I have assurances also from a majority of the House committee that they will visit us at some time, This will give the various interests affected an opportunity that must H0t be neglected.” ARRIVALS AT THE National Exchange, Broad Street. ere ee Mra, N.
