"The total eclipse of the sun on Tues“day next will be a very inleresting\and memorable event to all persons in this part of the State, should the weather be sufficiently clear to permit of a pd view of the phenomengn. Prof@ssor Holden, of the Lick Observatqry, says: “Those who can find the leisure to visit the region within which the eclipse is total, and who are willto take he risk of rainy weather, . be amply repaid should the day move fine. There is absolutely no jpectacle so wonderful, so beautiful A and so profoundly interesting as a totaj i Clipse of the sun.’’ The path of totality in the United fates will be as follows: Northern ptral California, Northern Nevada, ‘e@uthern Idaho,the Yellowstone Parks Southeastern Montana, Northwestern Dakota and Manitoba. In California e central line will pass through or yery near Point Arena, Manchester, vonville, Ukiah, Upper Lake, Little _ Stony, Norman, Nelson, Bush Creek and Nelson Point. In California the width of the belt will be about 96 miles. The total eclipse will begin in this qty at fifty-one minutes and _fortythree seconds past one o’clock Pp. m., Wd will last-1 minute and 29 seconds, a This isa good way to prepare smoked @lass for use during the eclipse: ‘Take small piece of good window glass @nd hold it over the flame of a lamp candle until a black film is de@osited onit. If possible it should be Pmoked"so that the tint shall be so lense at one end that the full light of Bhe sun seen through it will not dazale the eye, while at the other the filma should be so thin that objects in n ordinary lighted room may be seen( distinctly through it. Smoke the glass as evenly as possible from one gend to the other, paste a narrow strip / thick paper across each end of the . As8, on the smoked side, and lay it Jon: a sheet of unsmoked glass of the }same size. Then secure the two sheets ‘together by a strip of paper pasted 4 around the edges of both plates.’’ At The Churches Sunday.

LORD vs. D Much Expert” Testimony —* [otrodueed, > But Nothing of Importance Proven. SHERIFF LORD GOES ON THE STAND. A Peculiar Petition Presented. For Which Mr. Ford is Taken to Task. The Case Submitted Without Argument. F pancapralirn The Lord-Dunster contest for. the office of Sheriff was resumed Saturday morning before Judge Walling. S.P. Dorsey, express agent at Grass Valley, testified. Have had much experience in using sealing wax. In my opinion this ink-stopper used as a stamp could not have made the impression on the sealing wax\on this envelope. . The impressions have what fappear to be arrow-heads outside of where the letters are on the stamp. Chas. L, Coleman of Boston Ravine. Was at the polls from just before they closed till 11:30 on the night of election. As far as’I saw the ballots were tallied as called. James Wiles of Boston Ravine testified he was at the polls the night of the election, being in the room at intervals for an hour. Was there half an hour in the morning. Did not see if the ballots were correctly called. Thos. Keleher of Boston Ravine said he was at the polls till 11 o’clock the night of the election and was there from 6 next morning. Observed the count. As far as I noticed the ballots were correctly called—-especially for the offices of Sheriff, Clerk and Recorder, which I particularly noticed. As I observed then there were a number of straight Democratic tickets, ~ James Bays was put on the witness stand Was one of the Boston Ravine Jelection officers. Moratenr called off most. of the tickets. I about 25. There were other persons besidds' the ing the procéédings>-I~ watehed Morateur most of the time he was calling. This ink-stopper or one fust like'it was used as a stamp in sealing the ballot envelope. The impressions on this envelope were not made with this seal. I noticed the impressions when they were made. 66 votes céuld not have been wrongly tallied there without my knowledge. Saw most of the names as called off. The wax was soft when stamped, but not softenough to obliterate the impression. I see no evidence of the package having been opened where the seals are. I don’t think there could have been 30 or 40 scratches in Lord’s favor without my noticing it. Mulroy, a member of the board, was out part of the time during the voting. Idon’t know that he was peddling tickets against Lord, only by hearsay. I don’t think there could have been 97 Democratic tickets scratched for Lord. There were 182 Democratic tickets. I don’t think more than 10 were scratched for Recorder. The Republican tickets were scratched much, and more against Rapp than anybody else. T. B. Gray, principal of the Nevada City schools, was examined as to the handwriting on the scratched tickets. Have had experience in teaching writing. Am not an expert in handwriting. Witness was given the ‘Boston Ravine Democratic ballots on which the name of Dunster, candidate for Sheriff, was scratched. He believed 28 of them were in one handwriting ; 21 in another; 12 in another ; 8 in another and 5 in another. These were filed as exhibits 7, 4, 6, 8 and 5. He pronounced a number of them (over 20) as being in & handwriting similar to Mr. Lord’s, AFTEBNOON SESSION, George Johnson of Nevada City. Have made a study of comparing writing of different kinds. Have testified once in court on penmanship. Have made it more of a study than ordinary men. Do not claim to be an expert. He was shown Mr. Lord’s autograph, also a bunch of Boston Ravine ballots with Mr. Lord’s name written upon them with a pencil. He pronounced the autograph and the writing on the the @ . yballots as being similar. They might t not have been written by the re Looked as though they, B® the same man’s writing, : Wheeler of Grass Valley town. testified that he had enced in experting books. Have. bad much to dq, with. penmanship: hee 16 years of age. He thought + }hineteen of the twenty-two which wit ¥; ness Gray had pronounced to be the same writing as Lord’s looked like it, ise . On the tickets marked exhibit 6 one man seemed to have written all the names, There are 27 ballots in all in beard in the feom all the time watch=4 the same handwriting as the autographay’ 4 . X chijir found in the Sheriff's ‘office the morning after Mr. Lord stayed in the office all-night, with three spots of what was alleged to be sealing wax upon it, was introduced in evidence by Mr. Dunster’s attorney. Hugh McCauley identified it and said the morning after Lord stayed in the Sheriff’s office that Deputy Sheriff Carter had pointed out to him the marks on the chair. The Judge examined the substance on the chair and said it did not appear to. ee wax. ; H. McCauley testified that sealing wax was frequently used in the various offices about the courthouse, and had seen it around the Sheriff's office. When Mr. Carter called his attention to the chair Ire put it away. W. D. Harris, Deputy County. Clerk, testified the box containing the ballot package was kept in the Clerk’s vanlt. P, Schmidt of Boston Ravine was at the polls from ten at night till two in the morning. Noticed particularly the culling ,of ballots and tallying. Know it was done correctly. I did not mean both were done right. I was watching the tallying. 2 At 2:25 rp. mM. attorney Ford asked for acontinuance till ten o’clock Monday morning that he might produce further tesiimony. He had expected the expert:testimony would consume’ all the day, but as the experts were not cross-examined the time had been unexpectedly shortened. He stated that the voters of Boston Ravine precinct would held a meeting Saturday night te arrange for assisting the Court in getting at the bottom of the matter. He intimated that they would all come up en magse to the county seat and testify as to how they voted. His honor stated that all through the proceeding he had allowed much more latitude in this case than was customary. He could not see what effect a mass meeting at Boston Ravine would have on the decision. He re‘fused to grant a continuance but gave Mr. Ford ten minutes’ ‘time té consult with Mr, Dunster, and announced a recess for that period of time. After recess Under Sheriff Holland testified that,he made a copy of the citation in this‘case. Afterwards saw it in Sheriff Lord’s hands and in Coroner Powell’s hands. The entries made in the register of actions on page 1452, showing a dismissal of the first case brought by Lord _ against Dunster, was offered in evidence. The respondent also offered to show that on Dec, 10th, the time set for the hearing of the first case, contestant Lord did not appear in Conrt, Mr. Ford annonnced that his side had sent toSan Francisco for an expert in penmanship known throughout the State, and asked a continuance till he arrived. The request was denied. Mr, Ford offered in evidence a petition asking that, the case be continued till” expert testimony be procured. Judge Walling after glancin ; atitsaid he was surprised: Ford should paket ees petition, or that. any reputable attorney or. other citizen should sign it, . He said it?was the first time he ever heard ‘of such a thing, ° Manugl E: Oliver of this city examined the chair fuund in the Sheriff's court with what appeared to be sealing wax upon it. He was asked if the material on the chair -had been varnished over. The question was objected to and the objection was sustatned. a George Lord, the contestant testified: Am Sheriff. The citation in the first contest case was not placed in the hands of the Coroner fer service. I have never in any. way tampered with the election returns. Was in the Clerk’s vault once gince election with Deputy Clerk Bulfinch and F.T, Nilon. Was there halfa minute. Did not know where the ballots were kept. The night. of the Republican ratification I wasintown. I heard that Indian Joe, ‘wanted for murder, was in town. After the celebration I put on some old clothes, disguised myself and going up by Lademan’s store watched two or three hours for Joe. Then came to the courthouse and went to bed. On election day I was at Grass Valley and Boston Ral vine. I wrote many tickets at my office in Grass Valley, and they were sent out to different precincts, I was in Boston Ravine half an hour that day. Have frequently slept in the courthouse of nights. -Witness was f asked by Mr. Ford where he got his information as to fraud being practiced against him. Objected to by Mr, Searls and objection sustained. Had not wagered money on the election. Did not put $2,000 or $3,000 in ‘the . « hands of anybody to bet for me. Mr. Ford again asked for a continuance and it was again denied, At 3:30 the cage was submitted without argument. : Tt was taken under advisement till Monday morning at ten o’clock, Mr. Ford was cited to appear on the morning of January 6th at 10 o’clock to show -why he should not be punished for contempt in presenting to the Court the petition’relatiye to continuing the hearing till other evidence could be introduced. t 1 Sometuine new. in Christmas cards at Carr Bros, tf Mex S'JACOBS Qj], FOR ACHES AND PAINS.

The Debris Commission—Selfish San Francisto—The Tiltons. A correspondent of the Reno Gazette writes as follows from North Bloomfield in this county under date of December 23d: Rain, rain, rain—more than eight inches this month, and still it comes! In the old days, when every gulch and ravine held a row of sluices and toiling miners, this abundant outpour would rejoice the hearts of thousands; but the small miner has departed, the ground has been absorbed by great corporations, and year by, year the population has grown less and less. Then came a few years of prosperity after the hydraulic mining works were fully developed, but this came to an end by the opinion of Judge Sawyer and the watchfulness of the anti-mininy spies. What the end will be no man knows. We now have the Mining Commission appointed bythe President from the Engineer Corps of the army to investigate and report. There are some things about the way the businessis being managed that looks alittle fishy, but we are all going to hope for the best— hope that the business may be so managed that the men with a few sluice boxes set in some obscure ravine may not be driven ont, and so managed that no great evolved out of what was intended for a beneficent measure. “job” will be The development of quartz mining goes steadily onin this county. Old claims that have lain idle so-long as to becomé moss-grown are being opened and found.te~-be~ good properties. There is one curious thing that I don’t understand, and a thing that some day San Francisco will wake up to when it is too late. entire want of capital from that town. Thereis one New York company operatingin this part of the quartz belt of the high Sierras, and the rest of the developments are being made by poor men who have little besides their muscles and faith. day !y day, and already some are reaping an abundant reward. No good opinion of the city by the Bay is entertained by the miners. and New York drummer circulates I speak of the The work goes on The Chicago pretty freely in the land, and goes away with well-filled order books. A miner said to me not long ago, ‘‘I am going to build a mill in the Spring, and I am going to have it built somewhere East. We can get along firstrate without San Francisco, so let us see how they can get along without p,?? Two things have leJ to this. For the past three years the mining men of that town have adopted a rule that they would pay no more for a mine than what the ore, actually developed, would yield. The miners won’t sell at any such rates, saying that no man expectsto buyland for the value of the crops growing upon it. It used to weommon thing for miners to give alittle over half of a mine to have it developed and havea mill built, but Somehow the mine never paid until the original owners had been “froze out.” A little of this goes a long ways. How smart most of us do get in our several professions! This is a peculiar weakness of all miners—they get so they know itall. . Here is a curious thing that has been going on for nearly a year about half-way between here and Nevada City, right on the stage road, Last Spring two men located on the road about half a mile from Edwards’ bridge, and said they had found a@ mine. circo, strangers in these parts, and said they had never mined in their lives. Well, they stuck up a noti ‘and near it a board cabin, and prefty soon a tunnel was seen to creep Anto the soft, yellow rock. Some sid that they’ were mining after quickki ; some that spirits were guiding them to a big thing in the mountain. by guyed them, and even the Nevada City newspapers poked all manner of fun at them. I passed the place several times, and saw acheerful-faced man, with long white beard, minding his own business, They were from San Franver; PassersMining experts ooked the thing over, and couldn’t see ‘for their lives what those litnatics were doing there. The ‘Old Miner” looked at the ground, too, and, with his feet elevated on some bar-room stove, swore the men were a pair of blamed ools, Still that hole went ahea , and crosscuts were run out from it, and now it is discovered there isa vein of orein that mountain abont two hun‘dred feet wide that is worth $4 or $5 a ton. The-experts aré silent, and the ‘Old Miner” takes another drink and A lot of he Spring, and this old yellow hill made to give its gold, There are ots of just such places in this section waiting for somebody with a little sand and money to make profitable mines of now idle ground, Grace forms, abundant womnee, ng eyes our pra! ite, Bute! blem h that atiieseas ve And the loveliest face will blight— Teeth uncleanly and unheeded: SOZODONT for such is needed, Iv you want a fine turn-out, go to Henry Lane’s liv. and . feed stable, a re Tuere is nothing nicer to present to plush tf Garpen and Vegetable seeds at d8-1m When Baby was slok, : We gave her Castoria, When she was a Child, She cried for (; ‘perform it.

The “Bee” Takes a New Taek Toe ward the Hydraulickers. } The Sacramento Bee has for a number of years been devoting its best ing nicknames for Jim O’Brien and thet it could apply to them was in its and no charge as to their motives or unlawful that they would not stoop to them behind prison bars, and got at least one of them— Hank Place—there by reason of its advocacy. It has inhound them day and night, driving the State in order to escape persecution on tramped-up charges. It has stirred up a bitterness of feeling on both sides that ended in the killing of one of its own spies by one of its own bosses, and had it not been for the spirit possessed by the long-suffering miners, the McWhorter-Robinson tragedy would have been one of many bloody events where’ McWhorter’s place would have been taken by some hydraulicker who after being robbed ofall the wordly property he possessed was by the robbers put under surveillance of some worthless ‘tough’? employed at three dollars a day. and whiskey money to shadow, the miner and report in detail his every movement to an organized band of property-wreckers supposedly manipulated by a handful of greedy lawyers who used them as catspaws to pull extortionate fees from simpleminded farmers. The Bee having stirred up all this trouble, and much more, is now trying to reiiastall itself in the:good graces of the men it hasso foully wronged. It startsin with James O’Brien for whom it has in the past dis-. played such warm friendship by using toward him terms of endearment like “vandal,” ‘‘ontlaw,’’ “‘arch-hydraulicker,’”” ‘‘valley-destroyer” and the like. It ‘‘Misters’’ him,. calls him a far-seeing gentleman and extols him as a patron of husbandry. It does this because Mr. O’Brien, having some years since worked out the pay channel in his gravel claim, and came down to sheep-raising and farming to make a living, has succeeded in growing very fine oranges of which he forwards samples to the citrus crank of the Bee. Now that Mr. O’Brien has found the key to the good graces of the Bee, hydraulickers generally will if they are wise emulate his tactics, and set aside a little patch of each claim to orange raising. The Bee will no doubt set them up in this branch of trade by supplying them with seeds, young trees, scions or anything else in the line theyemay require, provided they willeagreety do the square’ thing when harvest-time coynog, Cara of Fh The undersigied desires to return his, heartfelt thanks to those neighbors and frien@§’who showed so much kindness during the illness and after the death of hié late wife.

Prof@ssor Holden, of the Lick Observatqry, says: “Those who can find the leisure to visit the region within which the eclipse is total, and who are willto take he risk of rainy weather, . be amply repaid should the day move fine. There is absolutely no jpectacle so wonderful, so beautiful A and so profoundly interesting as a totaj i Clipse of the sun.’’ The path of totality in the United fates will be as follows: Northern ptral California, Northern Nevada, ‘e@uthern Idaho,the Yellowstone Parks Southeastern Montana, Northwestern Dakota and Manitoba. In California e central line will pass through or yery near Point Arena, Manchester, vonville, Ukiah, Upper Lake, Little _ Stony, Norman, Nelson, Bush Creek and Nelson Point. In California the width of the belt will be about 96 miles. The total eclipse will begin in this qty at fifty-one minutes and _fortythree seconds past one o’clock Pp. m., Wd will last-1 minute and 29 seconds, a This isa good way to prepare smoked @lass for use during the eclipse: ‘Take small piece of good window glass @nd hold it over the flame of a lamp candle until a black film is de@osited onit. If possible it should be Pmoked"so that the tint shall be so lense at one end that the full light of Bhe sun seen through it will not dazale the eye, while at the other the filma should be so thin that objects in n ordinary lighted room may be seen( distinctly through it. Smoke the glass as evenly as possible from one gend to the other, paste a narrow strip / thick paper across each end of the . As8, on the smoked side, and lay it Jon: a sheet of unsmoked glass of the }same size. Then secure the two sheets ‘together by a strip of paper pasted 4 around the edges of both plates.’’ At The Churches Sunday.

LORD vs. D Much Expert” Testimony —* [otrodueed, > But Nothing of Importance Proven. SHERIFF LORD GOES ON THE STAND. A Peculiar Petition Presented. For Which Mr. Ford is Taken to Task. The Case Submitted Without Argument. F pancapralirn The Lord-Dunster contest for. the office of Sheriff was resumed Saturday morning before Judge Walling. S.P. Dorsey, express agent at Grass Valley, testified. Have had much experience in using sealing wax. In my opinion this ink-stopper used as a stamp could not have made the impression on the sealing wax\on this envelope. . The impressions have what fappear to be arrow-heads outside of where the letters are on the stamp. Chas. L, Coleman of Boston Ravine. Was at the polls from just before they closed till 11:30 on the night of election. As far as’I saw the ballots were tallied as called. James Wiles of Boston Ravine testified he was at the polls the night of the election, being in the room at intervals for an hour. Was there half an hour in the morning. Did not see if the ballots were correctly called. Thos. Keleher of Boston Ravine said he was at the polls till 11 o’clock the night of the election and was there from 6 next morning. Observed the count. As far as I noticed the ballots were correctly called—-especially for the offices of Sheriff, Clerk and Recorder, which I particularly noticed. As I observed then there were a number of straight Democratic tickets, ~ James Bays was put on the witness stand Was one of the Boston Ravine Jelection officers. Moratenr called off most. of the tickets. I about 25. There were other persons besidds' the ing the procéédings>-I~ watehed Morateur most of the time he was calling. This ink-stopper or one fust like'it was used as a stamp in sealing the ballot envelope. The impressions on this envelope were not made with this seal. I noticed the impressions when they were made. 66 votes céuld not have been wrongly tallied there without my knowledge. Saw most of the names as called off. The wax was soft when stamped, but not softenough to obliterate the impression. I see no evidence of the package having been opened where the seals are. I don’t think there could have been 30 or 40 scratches in Lord’s favor without my noticing it. Mulroy, a member of the board, was out part of the time during the voting. Idon’t know that he was peddling tickets against Lord, only by hearsay. I don’t think there could have been 97 Democratic tickets scratched for Lord. There were 182 Democratic tickets. I don’t think more than 10 were scratched for Recorder. The Republican tickets were scratched much, and more against Rapp than anybody else. T. B. Gray, principal of the Nevada City schools, was examined as to the handwriting on the scratched tickets. Have had experience in teaching writing. Am not an expert in handwriting. Witness was given the ‘Boston Ravine Democratic ballots on which the name of Dunster, candidate for Sheriff, was scratched. He believed 28 of them were in one handwriting ; 21 in another; 12 in another ; 8 in another and 5 in another. These were filed as exhibits 7, 4, 6, 8 and 5. He pronounced a number of them (over 20) as being in & handwriting similar to Mr. Lord’s, AFTEBNOON SESSION, George Johnson of Nevada City. Have made a study of comparing writing of different kinds. Have testified once in court on penmanship. Have made it more of a study than ordinary men. Do not claim to be an expert. He was shown Mr. Lord’s autograph, also a bunch of Boston Ravine ballots with Mr. Lord’s name written upon them with a pencil. He pronounced the autograph and the writing on the the @ . yballots as being similar. They might t not have been written by the re Looked as though they, B® the same man’s writing, : Wheeler of Grass Valley town. testified that he had enced in experting books. Have. bad much to dq, with. penmanship: hee 16 years of age. He thought + }hineteen of the twenty-two which wit ¥; ness Gray had pronounced to be the same writing as Lord’s looked like it, ise . On the tickets marked exhibit 6 one man seemed to have written all the names, There are 27 ballots in all in beard in the feom all the time watch=4 the same handwriting as the autographay’ 4 . X chijir found in the Sheriff's ‘office the morning after Mr. Lord stayed in the office all-night, with three spots of what was alleged to be sealing wax upon it, was introduced in evidence by Mr. Dunster’s attorney. Hugh McCauley identified it and said the morning after Lord stayed in the Sheriff’s office that Deputy Sheriff Carter had pointed out to him the marks on the chair. The Judge examined the substance on the chair and said it did not appear to. ee wax. ; H. McCauley testified that sealing wax was frequently used in the various offices about the courthouse, and had seen it around the Sheriff's office. When Mr. Carter called his attention to the chair Ire put it away. W. D. Harris, Deputy County. Clerk, testified the box containing the ballot package was kept in the Clerk’s vanlt. P, Schmidt of Boston Ravine was at the polls from ten at night till two in the morning. Noticed particularly the culling ,of ballots and tallying. Know it was done correctly. I did not mean both were done right. I was watching the tallying. 2 At 2:25 rp. mM. attorney Ford asked for acontinuance till ten o’clock Monday morning that he might produce further tesiimony. He had expected the expert:testimony would consume’ all the day, but as the experts were not cross-examined the time had been unexpectedly shortened. He stated that the voters of Boston Ravine precinct would held a meeting Saturday night te arrange for assisting the Court in getting at the bottom of the matter. He intimated that they would all come up en magse to the county seat and testify as to how they voted. His honor stated that all through the proceeding he had allowed much more latitude in this case than was customary. He could not see what effect a mass meeting at Boston Ravine would have on the decision. He re‘fused to grant a continuance but gave Mr. Ford ten minutes’ ‘time té consult with Mr, Dunster, and announced a recess for that period of time. After recess Under Sheriff Holland testified that,he made a copy of the citation in this‘case. Afterwards saw it in Sheriff Lord’s hands and in Coroner Powell’s hands. The entries made in the register of actions on page 1452, showing a dismissal of the first case brought by Lord _ against Dunster, was offered in evidence. The respondent also offered to show that on Dec, 10th, the time set for the hearing of the first case, contestant Lord did not appear in Conrt, Mr. Ford annonnced that his side had sent toSan Francisco for an expert in penmanship known throughout the State, and asked a continuance till he arrived. The request was denied. Mr, Ford offered in evidence a petition asking that, the case be continued till” expert testimony be procured. Judge Walling after glancin ; atitsaid he was surprised: Ford should paket ees petition, or that. any reputable attorney or. other citizen should sign it, . He said it?was the first time he ever heard ‘of such a thing, ° Manugl E: Oliver of this city examined the chair fuund in the Sheriff's court with what appeared to be sealing wax upon it. He was asked if the material on the chair -had been varnished over. The question was objected to and the objection was sustatned. a George Lord, the contestant testified: Am Sheriff. The citation in the first contest case was not placed in the hands of the Coroner fer service. I have never in any. way tampered with the election returns. Was in the Clerk’s vault once gince election with Deputy Clerk Bulfinch and F.T, Nilon. Was there halfa minute. Did not know where the ballots were kept. The night. of the Republican ratification I wasintown. I heard that Indian Joe, ‘wanted for murder, was in town. After the celebration I put on some old clothes, disguised myself and going up by Lademan’s store watched two or three hours for Joe. Then came to the courthouse and went to bed. On election day I was at Grass Valley and Boston Ral vine. I wrote many tickets at my office in Grass Valley, and they were sent out to different precincts, I was in Boston Ravine half an hour that day. Have frequently slept in the courthouse of nights. -Witness was f asked by Mr. Ford where he got his information as to fraud being practiced against him. Objected to by Mr, Searls and objection sustained. Had not wagered money on the election. Did not put $2,000 or $3,000 in ‘the . « hands of anybody to bet for me. Mr. Ford again asked for a continuance and it was again denied, At 3:30 the cage was submitted without argument. : Tt was taken under advisement till Monday morning at ten o’clock, Mr. Ford was cited to appear on the morning of January 6th at 10 o’clock to show -why he should not be punished for contempt in presenting to the Court the petition’relatiye to continuing the hearing till other evidence could be introduced. t 1 Sometuine new. in Christmas cards at Carr Bros, tf Mex S'JACOBS Qj], FOR ACHES AND PAINS.

The Debris Commission—Selfish San Francisto—The Tiltons. A correspondent of the Reno Gazette writes as follows from North Bloomfield in this county under date of December 23d: Rain, rain, rain—more than eight inches this month, and still it comes! In the old days, when every gulch and ravine held a row of sluices and toiling miners, this abundant outpour would rejoice the hearts of thousands; but the small miner has departed, the ground has been absorbed by great corporations, and year by, year the population has grown less and less. Then came a few years of prosperity after the hydraulic mining works were fully developed, but this came to an end by the opinion of Judge Sawyer and the watchfulness of the anti-mininy spies. What the end will be no man knows. We now have the Mining Commission appointed bythe President from the Engineer Corps of the army to investigate and report. There are some things about the way the businessis being managed that looks alittle fishy, but we are all going to hope for the best— hope that the business may be so managed that the men with a few sluice boxes set in some obscure ravine may not be driven ont, and so managed that no great evolved out of what was intended for a beneficent measure. “job” will be The development of quartz mining goes steadily onin this county. Old claims that have lain idle so-long as to becomé moss-grown are being opened and found.te~-be~ good properties. There is one curious thing that I don’t understand, and a thing that some day San Francisco will wake up to when it is too late. entire want of capital from that town. Thereis one New York company operatingin this part of the quartz belt of the high Sierras, and the rest of the developments are being made by poor men who have little besides their muscles and faith. day !y day, and already some are reaping an abundant reward. No good opinion of the city by the Bay is entertained by the miners. and New York drummer circulates I speak of the The work goes on The Chicago pretty freely in the land, and goes away with well-filled order books. A miner said to me not long ago, ‘‘I am going to build a mill in the Spring, and I am going to have it built somewhere East. We can get along firstrate without San Francisco, so let us see how they can get along without p,?? Two things have leJ to this. For the past three years the mining men of that town have adopted a rule that they would pay no more for a mine than what the ore, actually developed, would yield. The miners won’t sell at any such rates, saying that no man expectsto buyland for the value of the crops growing upon it. It used to weommon thing for miners to give alittle over half of a mine to have it developed and havea mill built, but Somehow the mine never paid until the original owners had been “froze out.” A little of this goes a long ways. How smart most of us do get in our several professions! This is a peculiar weakness of all miners—they get so they know itall. . Here is a curious thing that has been going on for nearly a year about half-way between here and Nevada City, right on the stage road, Last Spring two men located on the road about half a mile from Edwards’ bridge, and said they had found a@ mine. circo, strangers in these parts, and said they had never mined in their lives. Well, they stuck up a noti ‘and near it a board cabin, and prefty soon a tunnel was seen to creep Anto the soft, yellow rock. Some sid that they’ were mining after quickki ; some that spirits were guiding them to a big thing in the mountain. by guyed them, and even the Nevada City newspapers poked all manner of fun at them. I passed the place several times, and saw acheerful-faced man, with long white beard, minding his own business,

They were from San Franver; PassersMining experts ooked the thing over, and couldn’t see ‘for their lives what those litnatics were doing there. The ‘Old Miner” looked at the ground, too, and, with his feet elevated on some bar-room stove, swore the men were a pair of blamed ools, Still that hole went ahea , and crosscuts were run out from it, and now it is discovered there isa vein of orein that mountain abont two hun‘dred feet wide that is worth $4 or $5 a ton.

The “Bee” Takes a New Taek Toe ward the Hydraulickers. } The Sacramento Bee has for a number of years been devoting its best ing nicknames for Jim O’Brien and thet it could apply to them was in its and no charge as to their motives or unlawful that they would not stoop to them behind prison bars, and got at least one of them— Hank Place—there by reason of its advocacy. It has inhound them day and night, driving the State in order to escape persecution on tramped-up charges. It has stirred up a bitterness of feeling on both sides that ended in the killing of one of its own spies by one of its own bosses, and had it not been for the spirit possessed by the long-suffering miners, the McWhorter-Robinson tragedy would have been one of many bloody events where’ McWhorter’s place would have been taken by some hydraulicker who after being robbed ofall the wordly property he possessed was by the robbers put under surveillance of some worthless ‘tough’? employed at three dollars a day. and whiskey money to shadow, the miner and report in detail his every movement to an organized band of property-wreckers supposedly manipulated by a handful of greedy lawyers who used them as catspaws to pull extortionate fees from simpleminded farmers. The Bee having stirred up all this trouble, and much more, is now trying to reiiastall itself in the:good graces of the men it hasso foully wronged. It startsin with James O’Brien for whom it has in the past dis-. played such warm friendship by using toward him terms of endearment like “vandal,” ‘‘ontlaw,’’ “‘arch-hydraulicker,’”” ‘‘valley-destroyer” and the like. It ‘‘Misters’’ him,. calls him a far-seeing gentleman and extols him as a patron of husbandry. It does this because Mr. O’Brien, having some years since worked out the pay channel in his gravel claim, and came down to sheep-raising and farming to make a living, has succeeded in growing very fine oranges of which he forwards samples to the citrus crank of the Bee. Now that Mr. O’Brien has found the key to the good graces of the Bee, hydraulickers generally will if they are wise emulate his tactics, and set aside a little patch of each claim to orange raising. The Bee will no doubt set them up in this branch of trade by supplying them with seeds, young trees, scions or anything else in the line theyemay require, provided they willeagreety do the square’ thing when harvest-time coynog, Cara of Fh The undersigied desires to return his, heartfelt thanks to those neighbors and frien@§’who showed so much kindness during the illness and after the death of hié late wife.
