The mining outlook in Willow Valley district, this township, was neyer brighter than it now is. At the Neversweat four men are working steadily. They have now on the dump forty tons of ore taken from: @ point 280 feet down on the ledge and 40 feet below the drain tunnel which is in 1,400 feet and taps the incline which is down over 300 feet. The work is being done through the tunnel. The last clean-up of the Neversweat paid at the rate of about $80 a ton in free gold for the general run of ore, and three tons of sulphurets therefrom gave $260. a ton. Nine tons of picked ore yielded $300 a ton. The ledge is of good size and well defined. Edward Gagan’s claim near Harry Striker’s cabin and just this side of the Deadwood mill is doing well. Two men took hetween $3,000 and $4,000 from it last year, . Leander Ragon and Wm. Meyers are sinking a new incline on the ConPhe Lecompton is being worked through a tunnel and winze by Messrs. Clemo and Harris of Gold Flat who have a two years’ lease. They recently had a crushing of ten tons which paid well, the sulphuret ore giving $206 a ton. The five Ebaugh brothers dre relocated the Beach claim near the Neversweat and are engaged in driving a tunnel for the ledge which they expect to reach within a week. 8. 8.

David Stokes, foreman of the North Bloomfield gravel mine, died Friday afternoon after a comparatively brief illness. He came to Nevada county. in the early fifties, and had ever since been engaged in mining on the San Juan ridge and in Sierra county. He had been in the employ of the North Bloomfieldcompany since the time they began hydraulicking operations. He was a thorough miner and enjoyed the high esteem of all who knew him. By industry and economy he had. accumulated ‘an estate estimated by his friends to be worth some $20,000, }. rand which includes a farm in ong of the lower counties owned by F. H. Bell and himself. So far as is known here he had no living relations either in this couutry or in Switserland, which latter was the and of his nativity. He belonged to Qintman Lodge, No. 88, F. and A. M., and his furneral wilt take place in North Bloomfield at two o’clock Sunday afternoon under the auspices of that fraternity. Death of John Jane. 0 Charles’'H, Eddy on Friday evening received a telegram announcing the death of his brother-in-law, John Jane. Mr. Eddy left on the night train for Tombstone, Arizona, near which town Mr. Jane has been foreman of a mine for four years past, and where he died. The deceased formerly resided in this city, and was employed in the Nevada City and Charonnat mines. Five years ago or thereabout he was married to Mr. Eddy’s sister, the ceremony taking place at the house of the bride’s aunt, Mrs. J. T. Morgan. He had been ill for six months previous to his death, and spent a short time here last Fall in the hope that a change of climate would benefit his health. He was an excellent man in every réspect, and many friends will i A Serious Charge Dismissed. Ed. C.

There were present forty ladies and gentlemen. The evening ‘was delightfully passed in dancing and various have been threatened with extermination, as this has been for the last five it is quite certain that in recent times this source has produced many times more than quartz mining. If our gold product is to depend upon quartz for a yield to supply the wants and ‘necessities of the world, it will fall far short, It is a fact that comparatively few of the quartz mines in California pay a profit, while with gravel ‘mines the great majority have paid. in California, the richest gold produc: ing country in the world, there is no law upon the statute books of the State which recognizes mining aga legal in‘dustry. This applies not only to gold mining, but to all other classes of kinds of mining, and the result jis-that mine owners, or mining as an‘industry in that State, has no legal statusin either the State or United States courts, and 80 is liable to be enjoined upon almost any contingency whereon a claim can be based. The United States courts, and for that matter the State courts ‘also, have held that mining cannot be carried on where any of the debris from the mine can by any possibility find its way upon any land not belonging tothe mine owner, or where it will find its way into any stream or water ‘Course crossing anyother person’s land, or that cun by any possibility get into any navigable river or bay. In fact the line is now so finely drawn that almost every mine in the State can be c osed, as it is not a legal industry. It is scarcely too much to say that under these circumstances every miner is a legal outlaw. ally under the ban of the courts, althongh all mines are -subect to the ly importyned to purchase or take moneyed interests in mines in that State. has also done something to crush ont mining there, for it appropriated $40,000, during the Congress of 1886-87, to prosecute the miners, when it well knew that any ruling which would close one mine would close all. In a recent complaint against a mining.company it has asked its court to enjoin the mine owner, not only from operating his mine, but ‘‘from selling, Jeasing or in any manner conveying trans ferring; or disposing of said mines or mining ground, or the water supply belonging to said mines or either of them, toany and every person whatsoever.”’ } properties to the present owners, at high prices, gave the owners land for reservoirs, granted the right of way for-canals, water-ways and roads,and cept money, to the miners to open and develop mines, and now when the owners in the suit above referred to have expended between four and five million dollars in opening and developing their mines,and impounding and _. bringing water to them, the Government of the United States steps in and appropriates $40,000 to pay lawyers, not only to close the mines, but ‘to enjoin the owners from selling. the property ucquired from ths Government for mining purposes: state of affairs in California, it is rather surprising that any person should venture any money in a State, for it seems certain it cannot be done with safety except in isolated instances, press our utmost satisfaction that the Government has at last, though grudgingly, appropriated even sum of $10,000 to asvertain whether or not some plan cannot ‘be devised whereby the present conflict betwéen the mining and farming sections may be adjusted and the mining industry rehabilitated.” tainly be drawn up, and we hope this will-be done without delay. vine on Friday evening. manifested their gratification over the indictment of Sheriff Lord by holding a ‘‘jollification meeting.” They fired anvils,made Speeches and painted the precinct red generally.

Something About a Powerttil Machine and Ite Inventor, The roll of modern inventors contains no steam hammer,. The life of James says Harper’s Young People, was a romance. His achievements were noble, his success was brilliant and his character was so cheerful, sunny, upright and happy that it ia a delight to dwell upon it. ‘ He himseif has told us, in words of simple, hearty enthusiasm, the story of his boyhood and one of the triiimphs of his manhood. It is.curious that his very name had a history in striking contrast with the actual facts of his.life. One of his ancestors, it is said, in “trying to escape from the enemy on abattlefield, assumed the disguise of a blacksmith. He was caught, after a sharp race, when his captor, perceiving his disguise, claimed: ‘gVhy, you are nae smyth’? (no smith) ; Ace canis the family name of Nasmyth. Now no greater smith ever lived than this James of the contrary name, who made the steam hammer. The old warlike family motto, too, “Nou arte, sed marte” (Not by art, but by war), was so entirely contradictory to James Nasmyth’s pursuits that he turned it entirely around, and made it “Non marte, sed arte” (Not by war, but by art). It was, indeed, by his masterful art that he achieved triumphs more enduring for the good.of mankind thar any war has ever been. Let us see what an unusual kind of a boy James Nasmyth was. He soon conceived a great interest in chemistry. The father of one of his schoolmates had a chemical laboratory at Leith, a mile or so distant from Edinburgh, and to this laboratory young Nasmyth was freely admitted. When some interesting experi. ment was about to be made,.Tom Smith,’ Nasmyth’s young friend, would: hoist a white flag on a pole in the garden at Leith, whereat Nasmyth eagerly ran down and took part in the experiment. The boys not only had a hand in the experiments, but taught themselves how to make each substance used in them, instead of buying the’ substances in-the-shops. Thus Nasmyth soon beqgme a very skillful practical chemiat. At the age of seventeen young Nasmyth began to turn’ his mechanical talents to practical account. He made a littic steam engine for grinding his father's colors; he construc some workshop engines. and the model of a condensing engine to be used at mechanics’ institutes, and. after attending for four or five years the Edinburgh School of Arts, wade the model of a steam earriage for railway purposes. For it was just at that time, when. Nasmyth'was nineteen, that the possibility of applying steam to land travel was on the point of being proved. It took Nasmyth four’ months of absorbing labor to complete his steam carriage, and when done it was run suc cessfully on the Queensbury road, near Edinburgh, carrying eight passengers, who sat upon low seats only three feet from the ground. This seems to us now a very rude and uncouth way of traveling, but when Naamyth's steam engine proved to be a success it was looked upon as-—a-wonder of ‘wonders. One of the most important events of young Nasmyth’s life was when he was admitted to the famous .works of Henry Maudsley, in London. Mr. Maudsley was an eccentric but kind-hearted man, and very shrewd in mechanical work, and his reputation was world-wide. He had long refused to admit any more pupils in his works; but he was so struck with the genius shown in the models which Nasmyth displayed to him that he not only accepted the young Scot as a pupil, but took him into his own private workshop. “Here I’ wish you to work,” said Maudsley, “besile’ me, a8 my aserous patron two years. when Maudsley ded: ; Nasmyth was now fully ‘equipped for his life work. He took charge of a large acquired more than a competence, Liverpool, gave abundance of work to Nasmyth, who now made locomotives for the new companies which rapidly sprang up. life was the invention of that powerful steam hammer which still continues to be a ‘marvel to all who see its operation, at once mighty and delicate. It is said of this machine that it can chip an egg resting on an anvil without breaking it, white it can also deliver a twelve-ton blow. which will make a whole township tremble. Wecan not do better than to quote Nasmyth's own desoription of this crowning mechanical triumph of his life: “Tt cons‘sted of, first, a massive anvil on which to rest the work; second, a block of iron constituting the hammer or blow-giving portion, and third, an inverted steam cylinder, to whose piston-rod the hammerblock was attached. All that then required to produce a most, effective hammer was simply to admit stean of sufficient pressure into the cylinder 80 as to act on the under side of the piston, and“thus to raise the hammer block attached to the end of the piston-rod. By a very simple arrangement of a slide valve, under the control of an attendant, the steam was allowed to escape, and thus permit tho massive lock of iron rapidly to descend by its own gravity upon the work on the anvil, Thus, by a more or less rapid manner in which the attendant allows the steam to enter or esca from the cylinder, any required ecole or any intensity of blows could be delivered."’ One of the first uses to which the steamhammer was put was that of the driving of piles, There were many mechanics who dii not. believe that it would drive piles faster or better than was done by the old method. So Nasmyth resolved to have a match between his steam-hammer and the ordinary pile-driver. Two immense logs were selected, and the two machines began work at the same moment. The result was that while it took the oldfashioned machine twelve hours to drive ita log to the proper depth, the steam-hammer had finished its task in four and a half minutes.

The work is being done through the tunnel. The last clean-up of the Neversweat paid at the rate of about $80 a ton in free gold for the general run of ore, and three tons of sulphurets therefrom gave $260. a ton. Nine tons of picked ore yielded $300 a ton. The ledge is of good size and well defined. Edward Gagan’s claim near Harry Striker’s cabin and just this side of the Deadwood mill is doing well.

David Stokes, foreman of the North Bloomfield gravel mine, died Friday afternoon after a comparatively brief illness. He came to Nevada county. in the early fifties, and had ever since been engaged in mining on the San Juan ridge and in Sierra county. He had been in the employ of the North Bloomfieldcompany since the time they began hydraulicking operations. He was a thorough miner and enjoyed the high esteem of all who knew him. By industry and economy he had. accumulated ‘an estate estimated by his friends to be worth some $20,000, }. rand which includes a farm in ong of the lower counties owned by F. H. Bell and himself.

The deceased formerly resided in this city, and was employed in the Nevada City and Charonnat mines. Five years ago or thereabout he was married to Mr. Eddy’s sister, the ceremony taking place at the house of the bride’s aunt, Mrs. J. T. Morgan.

If our gold product is to depend upon quartz for a yield to supply the wants and ‘necessities of the world, it will fall far short, It is a fact that comparatively few of the quartz mines in California pay a profit, while with gravel ‘mines the great majority have paid. in California, the richest gold produc: ing country in the world, there is no law upon the statute books of the State which recognizes mining aga legal in‘dustry. This applies not only to gold mining, but to all other classes of kinds of mining, and the result jis-that mine owners, or mining as an‘industry in that State, has no legal statusin either the State or United States courts, and 80 is liable to be enjoined upon almost any contingency whereon a claim can be based. The United States courts, and for that matter the State courts ‘also, have held that mining cannot be carried on where any of the debris from the mine can by any possibility find its way upon any land not belonging tothe mine owner, or where it will find its way into any stream or water ‘Course crossing anyother person’s land, or that cun by any possibility get into any navigable river or bay. In fact the line is now so finely drawn that almost every mine in the State can be c osed, as it is not a legal industry. It is scarcely too much to say that under these circumstances every miner is a legal outlaw. ally under the ban of the courts, althongh all mines are -subect to the ly importyned to purchase or take moneyed interests in mines in that State. has also done something to crush ont mining there, for it appropriated $40,000, during the Congress of 1886-87, to prosecute the miners, when it well knew that any ruling which would close one mine would close all. In a recent complaint against a mining.company it has asked its court to enjoin the mine owner, not only from operating his mine, but ‘‘from selling, Jeasing or in any manner conveying trans ferring; or disposing of said mines or mining ground, or the water supply belonging to said mines or either of them, toany and every person whatsoever.”’ } properties to the present owners, at high prices, gave the owners land for reservoirs, granted the right of way for-canals, water-ways and roads,and cept money, to the miners to open and develop mines, and now when the owners in the suit above referred to have expended between four and five million dollars in opening and developing their mines,and impounding and _. bringing water to them, the Government of the United States steps in and appropriates $40,000 to pay lawyers, not only to close the mines, but ‘to enjoin the owners from selling. the property ucquired from ths Government for mining purposes: state of affairs in California, it is rather surprising that any person should venture any money in a State, for it seems certain it cannot be done with safety except in isolated instances, press our utmost satisfaction that the Government has at last, though grudgingly, appropriated even sum of $10,000 to asvertain whether or not some plan cannot ‘be devised whereby the present conflict betwéen the mining and farming sections may be adjusted and the mining industry rehabilitated.” tainly be drawn up, and we hope this will-be done without delay. vine on Friday evening. manifested their gratification over the indictment of Sheriff Lord by holding a ‘‘jollification meeting.” They fired anvils,made Speeches and painted the precinct red generally.

Something About a Powerttil Machine and Ite Inventor, The roll of modern inventors contains no steam hammer,. The life of James says Harper’s Young People, was a romance. His achievements were noble, his success was brilliant and his character was so cheerful, sunny, upright and happy that it ia a delight to dwell upon it. ‘ He himseif has told us, in words of simple, hearty enthusiasm, the story of his boyhood and one of the triiimphs of his manhood. It is.curious that his very name had a history in striking contrast with the actual facts of his.life. One of his ancestors, it is said, in “trying to escape from the enemy on abattlefield, assumed the disguise of a blacksmith. He was caught, after a sharp race, when his captor, perceiving his disguise, claimed: ‘gVhy, you are nae smyth’? (no smith) ; Ace canis the family name of Nasmyth. Now no greater smith ever lived than this James of the contrary name, who made the steam hammer. The old warlike family motto, too, “Nou arte, sed marte” (Not by art, but by war), was so entirely contradictory to James Nasmyth’s pursuits that he turned it entirely around, and made it “Non marte, sed arte” (Not by war, but by art). It was, indeed, by his masterful art that he achieved triumphs more enduring for the good.of mankind thar any war has ever been. Let us see what an unusual kind of a boy James Nasmyth was. He soon conceived a great interest in chemistry. The father of one of his schoolmates had a chemical laboratory at Leith, a mile or so distant from Edinburgh, and to this laboratory young Nasmyth was freely admitted. When some interesting experi. ment was about to be made,.Tom Smith,’ Nasmyth’s young friend, would: hoist a white flag on a pole in the garden at Leith, whereat Nasmyth eagerly ran down and took part in the experiment. The boys not only had a hand in the experiments, but taught themselves how to make each substance used in them, instead of buying the’ substances in-the-shops. Thus Nasmyth soon beqgme a very skillful practical chemiat. At the age of seventeen young Nasmyth began to turn’ his mechanical talents to practical account. He made a littic steam engine for grinding his father's colors; he construc some workshop engines. and the model of a condensing engine to be used at mechanics’ institutes, and. after attending for four or five years the Edinburgh School of Arts, wade the model of a steam earriage for railway purposes. For it was just at that time, when. Nasmyth'was nineteen, that the possibility of applying steam to land travel was on the point of being proved. It took Nasmyth four’ months of absorbing labor to complete his steam carriage, and when done it was run suc cessfully on the Queensbury road, near Edinburgh, carrying eight passengers, who sat upon low seats only three feet from the ground. This seems to us now a very rude and uncouth way of traveling, but when Naamyth's steam engine proved to be a success it was looked upon as-—a-wonder of ‘wonders. One of the most important events of young Nasmyth’s life was when he was admitted to the famous .works of Henry Maudsley, in London. Mr. Maudsley was an eccentric but kind-hearted man, and very shrewd in mechanical work, and his reputation was world-wide. He had long refused to admit any more pupils in his works; but he was so struck with the genius shown in the models which Nasmyth displayed to him that he not only accepted the young Scot as a pupil, but took him into his own private workshop. “Here I’ wish you to work,” said Maudsley, “besile’ me, a8 my aserous patron two years. when Maudsley ded: ; Nasmyth was now fully ‘equipped for his life work. He took charge of a large acquired more than a competence, Liverpool, gave abundance of work to Nasmyth, who now made locomotives for the new companies which rapidly sprang up. life was the invention of that powerful steam hammer which still continues to be a ‘marvel to all who see its operation, at once mighty and delicate. It is said of this machine that it can chip an egg resting on an anvil without breaking it, white it can also deliver a twelve-ton blow. which will make a whole township tremble. Wecan not do better than to quote Nasmyth's own desoription of this crowning mechanical triumph of his life: “Tt cons‘sted of, first, a massive anvil on which to rest the work; second, a block of iron constituting the hammer or blow-giving portion, and third, an inverted steam cylinder, to whose piston-rod the hammerblock was attached. All that then required to produce a most, effective hammer was simply to admit stean of sufficient pressure into the cylinder 80 as to act on the under side of the piston, and“thus to raise the hammer block attached to the end of the piston-rod. By a very simple arrangement of a slide valve, under the control of an attendant, the steam was allowed to escape, and thus permit tho massive lock of iron rapidly to descend by its own gravity upon the work on the anvil, Thus, by a more or less rapid manner in which the attendant allows the steam to enter or esca from the cylinder, any required ecole or any intensity of blows could be delivered."’ One of the first uses to which the steamhammer was put was that of the driving of piles, There were many mechanics who dii not. believe that it would drive piles faster or better than was done by the old method. So Nasmyth resolved to have a match between his steam-hammer and the ordinary pile-driver. Two immense logs were selected, and the two machines began work at the same moment. The result was that while it took the oldfashioned machine twelve hours to drive ita log to the proper depth, the steam-hammer had finished its task in four and a half minutes. The invention of the steam-hammer ‘not only made Nasmyth famous wherever in the world the mechanics arts are practiced, but added quickly and largely to his worldly wealth. ~ He was only thirty-one years of age, and had already achieved a great life work. ‘ ) Uniformed §chool-Boys, Another metamorphosis is about to take in the uniform of the French schooly or Lyceen.
