WEDNESDAY, FEB. 13, 1889.
Care of the Ballots.
Prof. E. Muller, foreman ofthe late
Grand Jury, said to the Transonipr
reporter Tuesday morning that» any
statements as to the Boston Ravine
ballots not being carefully guarded by
the Jury while the investigation was
in progress, are not well founded. The
first night they were placed under lock
and key in the vault of the Recorder’s
office, and censtable Dillon remained
in charge of them. On subsequent
nights they were locked in the County
Treasurer’s vault. Each noon the box
containing them was locked and also
sealed with-4he foreman’s. signature
in such a manner that had any person
tampered with the lock it would have
been apparent, The box was then
placed in the Recorder’s office under
guard of either Mr. Brady or his. son.
One of the first things the Grand Jury
did upon meeting was to make a complete tally of all the tickets, so that
had any change been made in them
later it would have been discovered.
The Pythian Anniversary.
The arrangements for the silver anniversary celebration to be held next
Tuesday evening at Armory Hall under the auspices of Milo Lodge, K. of
P., are now abvut complete. F. D.
Worth, the well-known’ decorative
artist, will arrive Sunday from San
Francisco and at once begin with a
corps of arlisans the work of. beautifying the interior of tbe Hall. The decorations will, it is expected, be the
finest ever seen in Gentral California.
The ladies and gentlemen who are to
participate with the orchestra in the
promenade concert that precedes-the
ball “are actively engaged in rehearsing. The lithographers send word that
the elegant and expensive souvenir
programs that are to be distributed
“among the dancers are nearly finished
and will be sent this week.
‘Died of Pneumonia.
At half past ten o’clock Mon/lay
night Jamés Daniel, who had ‘been ill
for eleven days with pneumonia, died
at his home on Piety Hill in this city.
He was a naiive of England and had
resided here for the past twelve years.
He was an industrious, reliable man
. and a good citizen, being employed
when stricken down in tke North Star
mine of Grass Vai/ley. He leaves a
widow and two young children. The
funeral will take place from the Methodist Church at three o’clock Wednesday aiternoon under the auspices of

The First Street Lamp.
Wni. H. Crawiord recalls the fact
that the-first sireet lamp maintained
by the city was the one on the Plaza
at the foot of Sacramento street, which
was-put-up.in-the Fall of 1862 or the
Spring of 1863 when he was a member
of the Board of Trustees along with J.
C. Abbott, the late Jonathan Clark
and other old-timers. His fellow-members claimed that they voted in favor
of the lamp for the special benefit of
Mr. Crawford who frequently went out
Sacramento street of nights to call on
the.lady whom he subsequently wedded.

Consiable Dillon went to Grass Valley
Tuesday and arrested James Rodda on

THE NATIONAL CAPITOL.
Latest Political Gossip from the
Seat of Government.
Wasninaton, Feb. 7th, 1889,
Epiror Transcrrpt—Senator Sherman, who knows the cares and _ per;
plexities of being Secretary of the
Treasury, warmly congratulates Senator Allison on his escape when the fact
became known that Mr. Allison had
written to Gen. Harrison positively
and finally declining the appointment.
“Nearly every Republican Senator advised Mr. Allison not to go into the
cabinet, some for one reason and some
for another, but the majority of them
feel that the Towa Senator can do
more good on the floor of the Senate
than he could in the Treasury Department.
Evidently Seeretary or PostmasterGeneral (whichever it may be) Wana. . maker proposes tu hold up his end of
the coming administration. It is said
that he has purehased for $80,000 the,
elegant residence in this city pow oc. cupied by Secretary Whitney.
Senator Ingalls says he will\be glad
to turn the gavel over to Vice-President-elect Morton on the fourth of
March and resume his old place on
the floor of the Senafe. And most
other Republicans will join him in his
gladness. Not because he has not
made a good presiding officer, but because he is more useful and decidedly
more interesting on the floor.
Tt is stated here that Representative
Springer is willing to accept the Senate amendment to his: omnibus bill.
The amendments exclude New Mexico. If Mr. Springer can carry any
considerable number of Democrats
The Democratic members of the
House Ways and Means Comaatitee
asd-hard at work on a compromise
tariff vill which they will endeavor to
get the Senate confreres to agree {o.
It will embrace the entire free list of
the Senate bill and the internal revenue section, except free alcohol for
use in the arts. It will also embrace
those portions of the Mills bill over
which there was little or no cortroversy. But from the best information
your correspondent can-get, it-is now
to late to get any tariff legislation
through the present Congress, more’s
the pity.
Once more this poor administration
has been sat down upon, and members of its own party have helped to
do it. The British éxtradition treaty,
which Mr. Bayard was so: anxious. to
huve adopted, has been rejected by
more than a two-third vote. of the
Senate. John Bull seems to have lost
his influence in this country.
Sensational newspaper articles sometimes serve a good purpose. We have
just had a siciking example in the
Samoan excitement. The newspaper
articles aroused Congress and the people of the country, and the sentiments
generally expressed by all classes and
in all sections proved to Prince Bismarck that the’ United States would
fight if necessary to maintain the hon-.
or and rights of its-citizens in Samoa.
The result was: Bismarck ‘cabled to
the German minister in this city instructing him to see Secretary Bayard
and assure him that Germany would
do nothing detrimenial to our interests, and also that orders had been
sent to the German officials in Samoa
to be more discreet. So much for sensational newspapers.
At last, after many ups and. downs,
‘the Oklahoma bill has gotten through
the House all right. It now goes to
the Senate, where its friends propose
making a mighty effort to rush it
through. There isa rumor here that
Cleveland has-promised-to veto it if-it
gets through the Senate.
Representative McKinley, who has
been mentioned as likely to be Secretary of the Treasury, says he is not an
applicant nor would he accept the
position if offered him,
The House commitiee on territories
were to have decided Saturday whether
they would report the billfor the admission of Utah, as instructed by a
recent Democratic caucus, also what
they would do about Springer’s
“omnibus” bi!l forthe admission of
Arizona, Idaho, and Wyoming. The
committee held no meeting Saturday,
but say -they will meet Wednesday.
The members seem to be a little dubious aboutthis Utuh business. There
is no prospect of the billeven passing
the House, should it be reported, still
I think some of the members of the
committee do not care to ‘put’ tiiemselves.on record even to the extent of
reporting the bill. Mormonism is not
very popular outside of Utah,
Senator Blair’s bill giving the noble
women who acted as army nurses during the war a pension of $25a month,
has been passed ly the Senate and
favorably reported tothe House.
The American Shipping League,
which held its annuat convention here
last week, is an organization from
which much is expected; its aim is to.
foster and increase American shipping.
A public meeting was held Friday
night at which a number of prominent
men belonging to both polical parties
gave their views as to what is necessary to restore the stpremacy of the
rs and stripes on the seas. .

ZELLERBACH'’S MINE.
A Valuable Quicksilver Claim in
Trinity County.
county, owns a valuable quicksilver
mine in Trinity county. It is called
the Altoona and is situated on the
westerly slope of the Trinity mountains
in the eastern part of the county, at arr
altitude of 4750 feet above.seu level,
being about 15.miles distant in a
westerly direction from: Southern’s
station on the California’ & Oregon
railroad. The Mining Press says of
it: Tt occupies a section of a cinnabarbearing belt that here strikes north
and south along the mountain. This
belt, which is composed of porphyry,
traversed by occasional dykes. of
serpentine, has an average width of
1200 feet, and carries a yreat number
of cinnabar veins; these veins, which
vary in thickness from a few inches to
25 feet, correspond in strike with the
trend of the main mineral belt.
The mining — operations hitherto
conducted here have been by sluicing.
The ore being soit and decomposed,
yielded to the shovel without the
labor of blasting and. picking, the
mineral it contained being collected
after the manner of placer gold washing. The ore so collected, after being
mixed with linve, has been reduced by
the slow, costly and wasteful method
of retorting in ordinary retorts.
How large a percentage of the ore
was Jost by the plan of gathering it
here pursued is shown by the fact
that tke tailings -that escaped from
these sluices.bave since been collected and concentrated over and over
with profit. =
Only from one of the veins belonging to the Zellerbach property has any
ore been removed, the stoped portion
of the vein having adepth of 100 by
a length of 400 feet, the width of the
vein at this point averaging from 4 to
25 feet. The ore taken out curried
about three per cent quicksilver, and
but for the imperfect manner of the
treatment adopted would doubless
have yielded a ‘larger percentage of
metal than was obtained f,om it.
Besides some —surface— prospecting
and asbait sunk on one of the numertical shait has been put down on the
principal vein toa depth of 120 feet,
this shaft being connected at the boitom with a drain tannel. We are imformed that in every instance the
prospeciing work dune here-lbas developed high-grade ore. In the vein
opened up by the 47 foot shait, it is
svid there occuis iul!y one foot of ore.
What is reqaived to bring this properry into a large and profitable’ produciion is the erection of a suitable
plant, to include roasiing “farnace,
steam hoisting works, etc, and the
further development of the principal
ore bodies already opened up, exploration being al.ersard kept well in
advance of ore extraction, The ewners
are of ‘the opinion that with a very
moderate’ outlay for equipment a
monthly production of 60) flasks of
quicksilver could be made here.‘This
amount could, be inereaved by the,
erection of additional {m1 naces, and at
a less cost than would be required in
most other localities, there being an
abundance of*finetimber on the
gound with waier enougi for motivepower a good po tion of the year.
Mr. Zellerbach, who got possession
of tae properiy last August, has with
limited means at his command since
vetimbered the shait and had 100,000
brick burnt for the erection of a furnace, besides making various minor improvements on the mine, which, in
other lespecis, remains in about the
same, condition~as—when—werk— was
suspended upon it eight years ago.
New York Hill.
The Union says: Joseph Snyder,
the well know. mining ‘maa, has about
c mpleted arrangements to take the
New York Hill mine. There are 50,000 shares--besides--10;000 shares (in
treasury) and Mr. Spyder is getting a
bond upon the stock payable in 60 days
at the rate of 40 venis pershare, which
amounts to $16,000 for the mine. The
stock is to be deposited in the National Bank at Grass Valley, and unle s
the 40 cents per share is paid at the
end of 60 days the stcck will be refunded. Mr. Snyder is acting as agent-for
well known capitalists, as we understand, andthey have great faith in
their venture,

NEVADA COUNTY COPPER.
A Mine that Produces This Metal
and Gold.
%
,
Just back of the worked out portion
ofthe Milton Mining and Water Company’s claim at French Corral, and
upon the side of the mountain, isa
mine which will at some future time
yield a nice harvest to its owners.
This mine is known asthé Red Ledve.
For many years the ore from. this
mine was worked for the gold-which
it contained, although the’fact that it
was very rich in copper was well
known. The percentage of copper,
however, increased tosuch an extent
as to make the ore rebellious, and its
owner, Daniel Roberts, of French
Corral, found it no longer valuable as
a gold producer unless it could’ be
worked. on a more elaborate plan.
Mr. Roberts had not the capital for
the erection of extensive milling machinery; neither had he the means
necessary to work the ore for the copper which. it-contained,
No effort has been»made to secure
the attention of capitalist to this mine,
as Mr. Roberts hoped for a change in
his fortunes which would enable him
to work the mine himself. Now, however, he is willing to dispose of all or
a part of the mine at’ a very reasonable_rate, and if he.succeeds-in—so
doing the result will be a great deal of
life and activity in the now quiet little
town and a fortune to those who take
hold of the mine arid treat the ore for
the copperthat isin it. The body of
ore lying in the earth at this mine is
comparatively unlimited, and, owing
to the work already done, is easily extracted. There is a tiamway from
the mine to the mill used for crushing the ore, and nature seems to have
placed“ this—valuable ‘property in the
most advan‘ageous position, Water
power is abundant; material tor large
milling works can easily be conveyed
to the desired point. The ore itself is’
a red formation, unlike most copper
ores, and is soft and easily reduced,’
the percentage in’ cepper giving: vs
high as .96. If this mine -is ever
worked for copper, by ihe bleaching
process, it will pay even better than
the Spenceville mines of this county,
ous veins toa depth of 47 feet, a_ver-. and itis tobe hoped that capitatists
will be found who will take hold of
and erect works for the extracting of
this metal.
As there are several parties traveling about the country looking for copper mines they should he advised to
visit this county and inspect its resources in this line. Special atfention
should be given to the fact that the
copper mines of Nevada county do
not lie in inaccessible places, buat in
spots where the natural geography of
the county renders the cost of developement. comparatively small and the
profits large, :

HOW TO SMELL’ SWEET.
4
Perfume a Good Thing If Not
Used Too Liberally.
Use of the Various Subtle Agents—Why
Each Woman Should Keep Her Partioular Brand—Reolpe for Treating Natural Flowers.
The refinements of the ancients varied in
almost every way from those of a modern
age, except, perhaps, in some of the uses
appertaining tothe toilet, and the Scriptures, as well as other records of ancient
customs, bear testimony that baths and
clean linen, perfumes and sweet odors,
wore regarded quite as much of a luxury
then as now. Few are, perhaps, aware
that the origin of the use of. manufactured
perfumes had a sacred character, yet they
were an invention of the priests who officiated at tho sacrificial altars in. the olden
temples; and, doubtless, great necessity
must have been the mother of invention, for
from the slaughtored beasts must have
arisen most noxious emanations, which all
the water in the land would not have
washed clean without the aid of the perfumes of Arabia. wt
Opinions, says a writer in the Chicago eine
Herald, differ about the use and abuse of
sweet scents, Certainly there is an incongruity in their use: by men, but a woman
who leaves behivd her a subtle senso of
redolence carrivs always a double charm.
Strong, active, energetic natures are apt to
scorn an indulgence in what is so grateful
to their opposites—languid, luxury-loving
people. Yet the natural odor of flowers
about the house are grateful to all for their
sweetness, as well as for their beauty, and
to those flowers to which Mother Earth has
refused a fragrance we give but half the
caro which is showered upon those that can
gratify a double sense, To some poor unfortunates tho scent of certain odors, and
even of flowers, is distasteful, and not always fromassociation, Evon further than
that, the disliked odors render some persons quite ill, With age the sense of smell
is affected and, like the other senses, grows
weak, and some eldorly ladies, especially —
those who have been beautiful, worldly
women, much ‘flattered and admired, absolutely reck with. the strong bouquet of .
some perfumery. : ‘
Their’ unconsciousness {s_ pitiable, their
vanity deplorable, for it would wound them
too’greatly to suggest a léssoning of their
indulgence, and they must be allowed to
reok on. Tho olfactory nerves are capricious things, and the aroma which makes
them dilate with pleasure at ono time ia
quite disagreeable at another. They easily
become surfeited with an overdose, '
A gentleman who was particularly fond
of the fragrance of the violet, both “au
naturel’ and artificial, and used a delicate
scent about hia person and clothing in all_—
possible ways, never permitting it to pass
a faint, subtio.point, grew to abhor it utterly becauso his negro butler had evidently
the same propensity, which he gratified not
only by induiging constantly in his master’s
essences, but in stron rer and loss carefully
prepared extracts of his own, Especially
was it discovered to be his habit to scatter
violet water all over his clothing just as ha
was proparing to serve dinner, and when
he took up his place behind his master’s
chair the odor was overpowering. As a
consequence the gentleman becomes quite
ill at only standing near a lady who wears
violcta. Another gentleman who was de-:
voted to a certain’ old-fashioned prepara.
tion of lavender was affected in much the
same manner by the accidental breaking of
alurge bottle in his trunk and the consequéent saturation of his clothing with the
atrong perfumo, which it was imposatole to
remove. Since then any scent is distaste.
ful to him, q
Women generally have a habit of tucking’
little bags of ‘sachet powder in their bureau
drawers aud pinning then in-their dresses,
but they as generally are indiscriminate in
choosing the odors, sometimes buying heliotrope, sometimes violet and again rose.
There is much more refinement and daintiness of feeling, beside a quaint and certainly sweet coquetry ln keeping always a perfume of one's own; it becomes then almost
@ part.of one’s own being. If one is fond
of the fragrance of the rose an investment
in a few of the long, peculiar vials containing attar of rosea and keeping them in
various places amid tho possessions is a
much more enduring way of perfuming
than using sachet powder, However, the
best way of using sachet powder is to make
a thin pad the size of each bureau drawer
and trunk tray, of thin sills or Gotton’and
one layer of cotton wadding, over which the
sachet powder is sprinkled, leaving one end
but loosely sewn, 80 that the scent may be
easily renewed, The faint-tinted cheese-.
cloths which come now are very good for
this purpose, If adozen of these pads are
made at some leisure time the size of one’s
trunk they, will be found extremely convenient to lay between dresses, It is alsoa
good plan when anew dress comes home to
have a tiny bag of scent at once sewn into .
the waist. New beginners at concocting the
potpourri for the rose-jars are-aptto_use too
much spice; essential oils ara much better
than any spices, *
Our grandmothers well knew the delight
of stealing the perfume from the flowers,
and their ‘“ still-room,’’ where were all conveniences for this, was a part of the machinery of every home. In our country
vast quantities of flowers go to waste and
we send to France for our perfumes, yet
nothing is easier nor more womanly than to y
make the perfumes from flowers which we
use. Intoa large, flat, clean earthenware
vessel]-pour some purified fat lard and suet
mixed, warmed sufficiently to make it liquid.
Throw into it as many scented flowers of
one kind as ft will contain, Let remain
twenty-four hours covered, then strain off
the fat and add more flowers, repeating the
process every day for a week. The methodof liberating this essence of flowers from
the fat is very simple. Permit it to harden,
cutit into small cubes and put into spirits
of wine. The delicate odor inmediately
transfers itself from the coarse fut to the
Bpwituous solvent, and such a strength of
perfume is procured with little trouble ag
would cost a great deal at a perfumer’s, 4

. Inevery room by reason of no furnace in
the cellar, She insists upon the superiority
of stoves. here over fire-places. in England
in cold weather, and says that the kitchen
stove here burns much less coal than it
does there, The use of bituminous coal in
England is one cause of some of these
troubles. The independence of the domestic
servants in America is another noticeable
fact, as might be expected in a democratic
country, As a sample of the greater conveniences here, the carpet sweeper is mentioned, with its dustless work, in place of a
broom, which is solely used in England, ,,
Knowledge and Pileasufe.
Pleasure is ‘a shadow, but knowledge is
ecstatic in ehjoyment, perennial in fame,
unlimited in space, and infinite in duration.
In the performance of its yreat offices it
fears no danger, spares no expense, looks
into the volcano, dives into the ocean, per‘forates the earth, wings its flight into the
skies, enriches the globe, explores sea and
land, contemplates the distant, examines the
minute, comprehends the great, ascends to
the sublime—no place too remote for its
grasp, no sphere too exalted for ite reach. 3
Points of a Perfect Oyster,
The points of an oyster are, first, the
shape, which should resemble the petai of a
rose leaf. Next, the thickness of the shell;
‘a thoroughbred should have a shell. like
thin china. It should also possess an almost metallic ring and peculiar: opalescent—luster on the inner side, The hollow for
the animal should resemble an egg cup, and
the flesh should be firm, white butlike,
