The Grass Valley papers did not print yesterday, because it was a legal holiday. Sensible. A live white swan caught at Guscetti’s ranch by Lincoln Hartman is on exhibition at Kent’s meat market. Ed. Moore, at his quartz claim on Gold Flat, has.a splendid prospect but he lacks the necessary capital to develop it with. : The man.has come to town who when asked if he didn’t want a job at shoveling snow answered, ‘‘No, thank you. My trade is sprinkling lawns.” The Broad street coasting course was in fair condition before the sun got to shining too warmly yesterday. It was expected that the slipping would be extra good last night. The snow quit coming down ‘about nine o’clock Monday evening, and the stars came out. Yesterday was as pleasant a day overhead as is found in the whole year, but'it was cool here below and not good walking. There has recently been. struck at the Oro Fino mine, in the northwestern part of this district, a very promising pay chutc, and the indications all are that it isdestined to become one the best claims in the county. The town reservoir at. Grass Valley has been converted into a skating park and the young people down there are having lots of fun. It never freezes hard enough in this part of the Bartlett pear belt to make good skating. =; A Narrow Gauge locomotive yesterday morning ran into a calf between Buena Vista and Grass Valley and broke the calf’s leg. Some of the soldier boys shot the animal when they came along and found it and so put it out of misery. Those citizens who laid in an insufficient supply of firewood last fall, and now have to buy more, rail at fate because they have to pay from $7 to$8 a cord for good oak. They forget that wood is cheap at.any,, price. with the roads comparatively.impassable. A crushing of the ore taken out of the shaft of the Nevada County mine in sinking from the 160 to the 225 foot level has been made, and it yielded $689, Experienced miners think that this property will when fully opened prove as valuable as the famous old Gold Tunnel mine. ; There has not been better sleighing hereabout in many a year than there NOT WORTH A DAM, ee ‘. The Anti-Miners' Estimate of Hydraulic Mining—A Conclusion Not Warranted by the Facts. In the Fall of 1881. the anti-miners between mountains and‘ valleys beBoard of Trade appointed a committee amine into both sides of the subject, then to report to the ‘Board. Prominent among the members of the committee so appointed and who came, were W.N. Hawley, P. B. .Cornwall, Moses Heller, Jules Cerf, C. L. Taylor, J. B. Stetsor’, Wm. Blanding and Jas. E. Gordon. They were accompanied by-quite a party, among whom were Gen. W. S. Rosecrans, R.G. Sneath and Hamilton Smith, Jr. No better representation could have been selected. d f They went to Marysville and critieally examined into the subject of the amount of damage done by slickens. They gave the valleyites full oppor‘. tunity to present their cause, and listened patiently‘to everything said on the subject. ‘ AMONG THE MINES, _.They were met and conyeyed.in carriages to Smartaville, a representation of the . anti-miners. accompanying them. At Smartsville they were join‘Jed by two gentlemen from this city. Will S. Green; editor of the Colusa Sun, George Ohleyer and Messrs. Wilson and Wilbur of the Anti-Debris Association went with them. over the whole ground from Marysville to this city, while Sexey and a few others who came as far as Smartsville feared coming into the mountains for reasons best known to themselves. The gentlemen from this city arrived at Smartsville in advance of the committee. While they were setting in front of the hotel enjoying their Havanas, a large, number of the committee came up to where they were and engaged in a bitter tirade against the vandalism of the miners; declared that every mine should be closed down, and even went so far as to say that it was not worth while to go into the mountains, as anything they might see there would not change their minds. They felt just as the Sacramentans—donow. They had seen one side, and that was enough for them. That evening a meeting was held, and Judge Searls was chosen to address them. Before commencing his argument, the Judge stated that as the matter was entirely new to them,and there might be some points. which; »he might . touch upon that were‘not plain to them, he would thank the members of the committee to ask. him questions, ,and he would consider it. no interruption, as he desired to make everything understood,.The Judge made a. splendid argument. Many questions were asked. and satisfactorily answered. The next morning the party went to the Narrows, half a mile below where Deer: Creek empties into the Yuba, this being the site selected at that time for the PROPOSED DEBRIS DAMS. Here the banks of the stream are of rock rising precipitously to a tremendous hight, and are but 300 feet apart, while just above the river is halfa mile wide. It was proposed to construct at this point a stone dam which should, wher completed,’ be over 200 feet in hight, at an estimated cost of $200,000, one. contractor agreeing to build it at that figure and give adequate bonds as to its permanency and efficiency. The engineers accompanying the visitors estimated that such a structure would hold the debris from all thé mines coftinually running for a period of twenty-five years, and that the matter held back by the structure . would become 89 cemented as to be immovable even without the dam to “backed up” fora distance of 25 miles above the.Narrows. , The'location was pronounced equal to any seen for that who insisted that their people would there the party were bringing such a pressure to bear against the miners, and the conflict came 80 sharp, that the San Francisco to visit the sections interested and exhold it back. The tailings would: be purpose, excepting by the valleyites, oppose the building of all dams. From went to French Corral, and. were’ driven. down inté the call it, P bury \your ) forty ‘feet deep, and® you fate is sealed.’’. ‘‘We will, take care of. the slickens inthe streams and tributaries if hydraulic mining ceases,” said the valley man.‘How will you do it?” ‘We will build dams to hold. it.’” what Ihave been telling you, and yet you say your people are opposed to’ dams.’’ . are “Well, they are; but they are not opposed to them if hydraulic mining is stopped, because then they wouldn’t be a standing menace.” “My friend,” said the General, ‘‘let ‘. dam atthe Narrows, where nature has already constructed the two ends of it, will save your town from disaster in case of a big flood, and nothing else will do it. According to the estimates that have been-made, judging from the amount of ground that has been worked inthe past years, and that which remains unworked, there are not. less than ONE HUNDRED* ‘AND FIFTY MILLIONS OF GOLD. The Government wants that gold, and it will eventually be taken out regardless of the opinions of your people who seém to be so blinded with prejudice-against dams, that they think the whole mining industry must be subject to their whims. I have made a careful examination of the country we have passed over, and I assert without fear of contradiction that if the dam is built at the Narrows it will save Marysville and other towns, and the last foot of mining ground which contains that immense amount of treasure can be worked without the building of another dam. Why sir, you can see for yourself that nothing in the wide world could destroy such a dam as is proposed to be built, and it will keep back all the slickens that can be worked by the hydraulic process till there is not a foot left of it. You will never be safe till this is done, and the sooner a compromise is made between the two interests. the. better it will be for the wholé State, There are two great sides to this question, andthe building of dams will solve the whole question, and make you as well as the miners a happy, contented and prosperous people. If a compromise is not made there willbe endless litigation, you will have spent your money for naught, and finally the dams will be built—not so much to save your part of the country, as to get the money in the ground the Government needs.”’ Notwithstanding the whole party was gotten up in the interest of the farmers, not one of the menibers comprising it agreed with the valleyites, and when the Board of Trade made areport the farmers got no comfort from it, So the Transcrirt says to the Sacramento Board of Trade, that if they will send up an intelligent delegation and view the sitnation, it-is certain they will ‘go home influenced with the idea that they have heretofore acted badly with one of the greatest interests in this State. Important to Mining Locators. The United States Supreme Court in a recent decision insists that to make a valid mining location the boundary side and endlines must be distinctly marked on the surface, and they must govern in any contest with a junior lo‘cation, The Court says that if the first locator will not or cannot make the exploration necessary, to ascertain the true course of the vein, and draws the lines ignorantly, he must bear the conbequences. He'can only assert a lateral right to so much of his vein as lies between the vertical planes drawn through those lines. Junior locators will not be prejudiced thereby, though ‘subsequent explorations may show ‘that he has erred in his location. Locators will perceive the necessity of sufficiently exploring the discovered vein before.’a’ fital niarking? ‘of the boundaries ofthe claim. This can be done go long as the adjoining ground is unclaimed. It may appear’ upon stich exploration that the end lines as first fixed may prove to be the side lines as the vein actually runs. If the adjoining ground has been claimed, there is no help for the first. claimant, and the width of his claim as located may become the length when the true uniless’ bomething “is done’ “Now, my’ dear sir, that is just 4 me’ tell-you that the building of the], FIGHTING, SIN. ee The Salvationists Storm Satan's Barricades at the County Seat. Barracks’ was filled tothe doors Monday evening with citizens of both sexes attracted thither by the prospect of obserying the peculiar forms of divine worship practiced by the eccentric and enthusiastic litte bani of soulsavers. Some kerosene lamps shed a dim light over the -dismal and homely room, at the rear end of which is a raised platform fronted by rows:of uncomfortable benches that extend almost to the entrance, with narrow. pas+ sage ways leading along either side to the front seats. On the.platform werethe lads .and lassies. The lassies wear navyblue plain cut princess dresses with jerseys of the same color, and poke bonnets with ‘#imilar trimnmtings. Across the breast of the jersey worn by the Lieutenant is the word ~“*Redeemed,”’ while the cadet’s jersey bears the inscription ‘‘Salvation Army.’’ Around their bonnets is a red ribbon with “Salvation Army” on it in letters of gold. The uniform of the men consists of blue trousers, Sheffield jacket and cap, an@ réd shirt. Around the caps are red bands with ‘The Salvation Army’’ printed thereon.’ On the breast of the shirts are mottoes such as the wearers may chooge. . They also have metal badges, and shoulder straps designating the rank of the officers. The male occupants of the platform were Adjutant Will J. Cozens,Captain Garbatt and Cadet Frank Robinson who according to his own’ story used to be a “‘gutter’ drunkard’ and has served aterm in prison. The ladies, or Hallelujah Lassies as they are called are Lieutenant Laswell. and Cadet Sharp. They are young’ people with the exception of Robinson who is perhaps 38 or 40 years old and prematurely gray from dissipation. The program consisted of songs of a lively ¢haracter with cornet and tambourine accompaniments, there being two or three good voices in the party ; short pfrayera frequently interrupted with such exclamations as “Amen,” “Glory to God,” ‘‘Halelujah,” ‘Hear that,’ ‘‘Yes,yes,’’and the like ; and remarks by all who cared to speak, the last feature being, dubbed by them a ‘‘free and easy.” . Adjutant Cozens made the principal address. He gaye'a resume of the origin of the movement in England and. ita rapid growth and effectual workings in this country. He stated that Lassies Las: well and Sharp would remain permanently in charge of the barracks here. “They come without money,’”’ he said. ‘‘They are the lambs referred to in the bible, an@ you dear people in the audience are the wolves.’ Bat: you are kindly looking wolves, andI am sure you will see they are supplied with the necessaries of life. Their wants are simple.It has cost something to. fit up the barracks. There are a couple of cheerless unfinished ‘little rooms in the rear where the lassies will live as best they can. If in the goodness of your hearts you giye them some: monr ey now and then, you won’t hear of their spending much of it. for, . food or furniture, till the.debts.incurred in fitting up here have been paid. Now chip in, boys, to the extent. of your ability, and the Lord will reward you.” The lassies passed through the audience carrying their tambourines as contribution plates, and the ‘“‘boys”’ ‘opened their hearts and ‘‘chipped in” liberally. é Quite a nuniber: of Nevada_ City christians, male and female, got up and related their experience. After the--public meeting, which adjourned a little past nine ‘o’clock, there was.a prayer meeting confined to the redeemed. The spectators gave most respectful attention duting ‘the entire proceedings. Ofcourse they laughed loud and heartily at times, but that was only-when one of the speakers would get off a joke that had an argument . i, World Re-Eetablished-+The Sacra~~ The store-room ‘on Broad street . ‘which the invading Salvation Army HERE AT LAST. Railroad Communication With the Outer ~ mento Soldiers Aivrre—A Rough Trip. The Narrow Gauge train from Colfax due at this city at 10:25 o'clock Monday morning, and which at last accounts was stuck in the snow at Buena Vista ten and a half miles this / side-of Colfax, did-not arrive atl-o’clock yesterday morning as expected, but did get in shortly after one o'clock yesterday afternoon bringing the Sacmento militia company and the , First Artillery Regiment Band. : _ Acting Manager Loughridge did evéfything in his power’ Monday night to get through, but the track was very heavy with ‘snow and the rails slippery with ice, and two engines could not budge the load One car was. finally pulled to: Kress Summit, two and-a half miles this side, where it was sidetracked, one of the locomotives being broken in taking it up, It was then necessary to send to Grass Valley. for another, The soldier boys put in their time as best they could during the night, and concluding yesterday morning that there was but one way to get here they.went’ to Farmer White’s house in the vicinity, got a first-class breakfast, then started afoot for Grass Valley through the, deep snow. The seven mile tramp'was ‘a tough one, but they survived it and about noon reached Grass Valley in a dilapidated condition. They were intending to take teams there and continue their journey, but had been in only a few m nutes when th» train came rolling into the station. They again clambered on board, congratulating themselves that their'troubles‘had ended. But such was not the case. The head, locomstive jumped thé track near Town Talk tunnel, about two miles ffém’ here, and it took nearly half an hour to put it back on again. « : When at last they got here they were met at the depot by Company “© and Mountain Division Band, and escorted ,to the Armory. They were then dismissed and made a dash for the hotels where they broke their long fast. “It was the roughest trip I ever had,” said one of tiem tu the reporter, “Sorry you'eame then, eh?” “Sorry! I should say not. There was a world of joy for all of us mixed upin it. There isn'tone of us — hat experience,’’ The World's Long Tunnels. Should the Geld’ Bank mining tunnel -beconstructed as contemplated, to extend from the South Yuba:river in thistownship td Union Hill at Grass Valley, it will havea length of 62,040 feet, or about 104¢ miles, and be the longest tunnel in the world. This estimate does does not include the proposed branches of which there would be 5 miles, ‘ ? The other great tunnels of the world are as follows: The Sutro tunnel is 21,120 feet, or four miles, long. ; The Nochistongo tunnel is 21,659 feet, or about four miles, long. Mount Cenis tunnel, Italy, is 39,840 feet, or about seven miles, long. Hoosac tunnel, Massachusetts, is 25,080 feet, or about four and @ half miles, long.

Buried Und er a Broken Awning, About nine o’clock Monday evening as Alex. McCambridge .and a son of W, A. Sigourney were standing in front of the store of the last named. on Commercial street, the rickety old wooden awning suddenly gave way underthe weight of the snow on” it. Young Sigourney stood close to the building, and escaped the falling boards and timbers, but the oth er lad fared. leas fortunately. The. boards and timbers fell upon him,* pinning him to the ground by hislegs and the lower part of his body.

(eee Major Hendershot's Wonderful Performances—Al/ Aboard !— The Battle. Major Hendershot, “the drumtiter boy of: the Rappahannock,” will be at this city March 7th and 8th. A correspondent of the Santa Barbara Independent thus speaks of his performances : He gave twoentertainments at Portland in June, tothe second of which I was fortunate enough to gain admittance. The first was chiefly designed for the Sunday School children in the city, and more than 2,000 of them filled the spacious City Hall, until even standing room was taken. It is estimated that 1,800 people were. turned away, and their disappoiitment was so great that the performance was repeated on the following night. The boys and girls, and the ‘‘children of larger growth,”’-as—well,-were delighted. I cannot deseribe his play. ing, but I wish you may all some time hear it.I-never realized before done with a drum. At-first—he—played-““U.-S;Grant's March,” and.then ‘Phil. Sheridan’s Favorite." He represented alocomotive drawing a train from Bar Harbor. to Portland—-there was the starting, the steady, swift passage, . the slowing up, and letting off steam, and crossing the advancing engine, as wellas hear it. 4 , Then he plunged into a desperate conflict—the dullest among us could not mistake the sounds. We _recogrized the long, heavy roll of the countless musketry, the crash of shot and shell from the batteries, the swift progress of the battle to its culminating point, and the gradual cessation of hostilities—even the sharpshooters were heard picking off the men from. their retreats. ; I heard a lady behind me say: “Well, both he and his drum must be very strongly put together, or they would burst.’’ He used the identical silver drum presented him by Greeley. During the performance he sang some ‘verses devoted to ‘The Army Bean,’ familiar to all soldiers, and occasioned shouts of laughter, the chorus. Brimming over with ‘merriment and full of vim, he captured the good wishes of his audience. Will Build a Debris Dam, The Gold Bank Tunnel will find it a dam to prevent the mining debris brought down by the winter storms from choking up the entrance to their tunnel. They propose to make it of ‘stone. If one company can successfully do this, why cannot a combination of companies in the shape of a Dam Association construct one that will koan the debria fram lanving the mountain streams to. spread over the valley lands? 4 Bahai a Water Supply Aguin Cut Off. Another blockade occurred in the Snow Mountain ditch yesterday morning, and the amount of water coming down was suddenly reduced to less than half the usual head. The Nevada City was compelled to suspend all work except pumping, which is being done with steam. .

My trade is sprinkling lawns.” The Broad street coasting course was in fair condition before the sun got to shining too warmly yesterday. It was expected that the slipping would be extra good last night. The snow quit coming down ‘about nine o’clock Monday evening, and the stars came out. Yesterday was as pleasant a day overhead as is found in the whole year, but'it was cool here below and not good walking. There has recently been. struck at the Oro Fino mine, in the northwestern part of this district, a very promising pay chutc, and the indications all are that it isdestined to become one the best claims in the county. The town reservoir at. Grass Valley has been converted into a skating park and the young people down there are having lots of fun. It never freezes hard enough in this part of the Bartlett pear belt to make good skating. =; A Narrow Gauge locomotive yesterday morning ran into a calf between Buena Vista and Grass Valley and broke the calf’s leg. Some of the soldier boys shot the animal when they came along and found it and so put it out of misery. Those citizens who laid in an insufficient supply of firewood last fall, and now have to buy more, rail at fate because they have to pay from $7 to$8 a cord for good oak. They forget that wood is cheap at.any,, price. with the roads comparatively.impassable. A crushing of the ore taken out of the shaft of the Nevada County mine in sinking from the 160 to the 225 foot level has been made, and it yielded $689, Experienced miners think that this property will when fully opened prove as valuable as the famous old Gold Tunnel mine. ; There has not been better sleighing hereabout in many a year than there NOT WORTH A DAM, ee ‘. The Anti-Miners' Estimate of Hydraulic Mining—A Conclusion Not Warranted by the Facts. In the Fall of 1881. the anti-miners between mountains and‘ valleys beBoard of Trade appointed a committee amine into both sides of the subject, then to report to the ‘Board. Prominent among the members of the committee so appointed and who came, were W.N. Hawley, P. B. .Cornwall, Moses Heller, Jules Cerf, C. L. Taylor, J. B. Stetsor’, Wm. Blanding and Jas. E. Gordon. They were accompanied by-quite a party, among whom were Gen. W. S. Rosecrans, R.G. Sneath and Hamilton Smith, Jr. No better representation could have been selected. d f They went to Marysville and critieally examined into the subject of the amount of damage done by slickens. They gave the valleyites full oppor‘. tunity to present their cause, and listened patiently‘to everything said on the subject. ‘ AMONG THE MINES, _.They were met and conyeyed.in carriages to Smartaville, a representation of the . anti-miners. accompanying them. At Smartsville they were join‘Jed by two gentlemen from this city. Will S. Green; editor of the Colusa Sun, George Ohleyer and Messrs. Wilson and Wilbur of the Anti-Debris Association went with them. over the whole ground from Marysville to this city, while Sexey and a few others who came as far as Smartsville feared coming into the mountains for reasons best known to themselves. The gentlemen from this city arrived at Smartsville in advance of the committee. While they were setting in front of the hotel enjoying their Havanas, a large, number of the committee came up to where they were and engaged in a bitter tirade against the vandalism of the miners; declared that every mine should be closed down, and even went so far as to say that it was not worth while to go into the mountains, as anything they might see there would not change their minds. They felt just as the Sacramentans—donow. They had seen one side, and that was enough for them. That evening a meeting was held, and Judge Searls was chosen to address them. Before commencing his argument, the Judge stated that as the matter was entirely new to them,and there might be some points. which; »he might . touch upon that were‘not plain to them, he would thank the members of the committee to ask. him questions, ,and he would consider it. no interruption, as he desired to make everything understood,.The Judge made a. splendid argument. Many questions were asked. and satisfactorily answered. The next morning the party went to the Narrows, half a mile below where Deer: Creek empties into the Yuba, this being the site selected at that time for the PROPOSED DEBRIS DAMS. Here the banks of the stream are of rock rising precipitously to a tremendous hight, and are but 300 feet apart, while just above the river is halfa mile wide. It was proposed to construct at this point a stone dam which should, wher completed,’ be over 200 feet in hight, at an estimated cost of $200,000, one. contractor agreeing to build it at that figure and give adequate bonds as to its permanency and efficiency. The engineers accompanying the visitors estimated that such a structure would hold the debris from all thé mines coftinually running for a period of twenty-five years, and that the matter held back by the structure . would become 89 cemented as to be immovable even without the dam to “backed up” fora distance of 25 miles above the.Narrows. , The'location was pronounced equal to any seen for that who insisted that their people would there the party were bringing such a pressure to bear against the miners, and the conflict came 80 sharp, that the San Francisco to visit the sections interested and exhold it back. The tailings would: be purpose, excepting by the valleyites, oppose the building of all dams. From went to French Corral, and. were’ driven. down inté the call it, P bury \your ) forty ‘feet deep, and® you fate is sealed.’’. ‘‘We will, take care of. the slickens inthe streams and tributaries if hydraulic mining ceases,” said the valley man.‘How will you do it?” ‘We will build dams to hold. it.’” what Ihave been telling you, and yet you say your people are opposed to’ dams.’’ . are “Well, they are; but they are not opposed to them if hydraulic mining is stopped, because then they wouldn’t be a standing menace.” “My friend,” said the General, ‘‘let ‘. dam atthe Narrows, where nature has already constructed the two ends of it, will save your town from disaster in case of a big flood, and nothing else will do it. According to the estimates that have been-made, judging from the amount of ground that has been worked inthe past years, and that which remains unworked, there are not. less than ONE HUNDRED* ‘AND FIFTY MILLIONS OF GOLD. The Government wants that gold, and it will eventually be taken out regardless of the opinions of your people who seém to be so blinded with prejudice-against dams, that they think the whole mining industry must be subject to their whims. I have made a careful examination of the country we have passed over, and I assert without fear of contradiction that if the dam is built at the Narrows it will save Marysville and other towns, and the last foot of mining ground which contains that immense amount of treasure can be worked without the building of another dam. Why sir, you can see for yourself that nothing in the wide world could destroy such a dam as is proposed to be built, and it will keep back all the slickens that can be worked by the hydraulic process till there is not a foot left of it. You will never be safe till this is done, and the sooner a compromise is made between the two interests. the. better it will be for the wholé State, There are two great sides to this question, andthe building of dams will solve the whole question, and make you as well as the miners a happy, contented and prosperous people. If a compromise is not made there willbe endless litigation, you will have spent your money for naught, and finally the dams will be built—not so much to save your part of the country, as to get the money in the ground the Government needs.”’ Notwithstanding the whole party was gotten up in the interest of the farmers, not one of the menibers comprising it agreed with the valleyites, and when the Board of Trade made areport the farmers got no comfort from it, So the Transcrirt says to the Sacramento Board of Trade, that if they will send up an intelligent delegation and view the sitnation, it-is certain they will ‘go home influenced with the idea that they have heretofore acted badly with one of the greatest interests in this State. Important to Mining Locators. The United States Supreme Court in a recent decision insists that to make a valid mining location the boundary side and endlines must be distinctly marked on the surface, and they must govern in any contest with a junior lo‘cation, The Court says that if the first locator will not or cannot make the exploration necessary, to ascertain the true course of the vein, and draws the lines ignorantly, he must bear the conbequences. He'can only assert a lateral right to so much of his vein as lies between the vertical planes drawn through those lines. Junior locators will not be prejudiced thereby, though ‘subsequent explorations may show ‘that he has erred in his location. Locators will perceive the necessity of sufficiently exploring the discovered vein before.’a’ fital niarking? ‘of the boundaries ofthe claim. This can be done go long as the adjoining ground is unclaimed. It may appear’ upon stich exploration that the end lines as first fixed may prove to be the side lines as the vein actually runs. If the adjoining ground has been claimed, there is no help for the first. claimant, and the width of his claim as located may become the length when the true uniless’ bomething “is done’ “Now, my’ dear sir, that is just 4 me’ tell-you that the building of the], FIGHTING, SIN. ee The Salvationists Storm Satan's Barricades at the County Seat. Barracks’ was filled tothe doors Monday evening with citizens of both sexes attracted thither by the prospect of obserying the peculiar forms of divine worship practiced by the eccentric and enthusiastic litte bani of soulsavers. Some kerosene lamps shed a dim light over the -dismal and homely room, at the rear end of which is a raised platform fronted by rows:of uncomfortable benches that extend almost to the entrance, with narrow. pas+ sage ways leading along either side to the front seats. On the.platform werethe lads .and lassies. The lassies wear navyblue plain cut princess dresses with jerseys of the same color, and poke bonnets with ‘#imilar trimnmtings. Across the breast of the jersey worn by the Lieutenant is the word ~“*Redeemed,”’ while the cadet’s jersey bears the inscription ‘‘Salvation Army.’’ Around their bonnets is a red ribbon with “Salvation Army” on it in letters of gold. The uniform of the men consists of blue trousers, Sheffield jacket and cap, an@ réd shirt. Around the caps are red bands with ‘The Salvation Army’’ printed thereon.’ On the breast of the shirts are mottoes such as the wearers may chooge. . They also have metal badges, and shoulder straps designating the rank of the officers. The male occupants of the platform were Adjutant Will J. Cozens,Captain Garbatt and Cadet Frank Robinson who according to his own’ story used to be a “‘gutter’ drunkard’ and has served aterm in prison. The ladies, or Hallelujah Lassies as they are called are Lieutenant Laswell. and Cadet Sharp. They are young’ people with the exception of Robinson who is perhaps 38 or 40 years old and prematurely gray from dissipation. The program consisted of songs of a lively ¢haracter with cornet and tambourine accompaniments, there being two or three good voices in the party ; short pfrayera frequently interrupted with such exclamations as “Amen,” “Glory to God,” ‘‘Halelujah,” ‘Hear that,’ ‘‘Yes,yes,’’and the like ; and remarks by all who cared to speak, the last feature being, dubbed by them a ‘‘free and easy.” . Adjutant Cozens made the principal address. He gaye'a resume of the origin of the movement in England and. ita rapid growth and effectual workings in this country. He stated that Lassies Las: well and Sharp would remain permanently in charge of the barracks here. “They come without money,’”’ he said. ‘‘They are the lambs referred to in the bible, an@ you dear people in the audience are the wolves.’ Bat: you are kindly looking wolves, andI am sure you will see they are supplied with the necessaries of life. Their wants are

simple.It has cost something to. fit up the barracks. There are a couple of cheerless unfinished ‘little rooms in the rear where the lassies will live as best they can. If in the goodness of your hearts you giye them some: monr ey now and then, you won’t hear of their spending much of it. for, . food or furniture, till the.debts.incurred in fitting up here have been paid. Now chip in, boys, to the extent. of your ability, and the Lord will reward you.” The lassies passed through the audience carrying their tambourines as contribution plates, and the ‘“‘boys”’ ‘opened their hearts and ‘‘chipped in” liberally. é Quite a nuniber: of Nevada_ City christians, male and female, got up and related their experience. After the--public meeting, which adjourned a little past nine ‘o’clock, there was.a prayer meeting confined to the redeemed. The spectators gave most respectful attention duting ‘the entire proceedings. Ofcourse they laughed loud and heartily at times, but that was only-when one of the speakers would get off a joke that had an argument . i, World Re-Eetablished-+The Sacra~~ The store-room ‘on Broad street . ‘which the invading Salvation Army HERE AT LAST.

The seven mile tramp'was ‘a tough one, but they survived it and about noon reached Grass Valley in a dilapidated condition. They were intending to take teams there and continue their journey, but had been in only a few m nutes when th» train came rolling into the station. They again clambered on board, congratulating themselves that their'troubles‘had ended. But such was not the case. The head, locomstive jumped thé track near Town Talk tunnel, about two miles ffém’ here, and it took nearly half an hour to put it back on again. « : When at last they got here they were met at the depot by Company “© and Mountain Division Band, and escorted ,to the Armory. They were then dismissed and made a dash for the hotels where they broke their long fast. “It was the roughest trip I ever had,” said one of tiem tu the reporter, “Sorry you'eame then, eh?” “Sorry!

Young Sigourney stood close to the building, and escaped the falling boards and timbers, but the oth er lad fared. leas fortunately.

(eee Major Hendershot's Wonderful Performances—Al/ Aboard !— The Battle. Major Hendershot, “the drumtiter boy of: the Rappahannock,” will be at this city March 7th and 8th. A correspondent of the Santa Barbara Independent thus speaks of his performances : He gave twoentertainments at Portland in June, tothe second of which I was fortunate enough to gain admittance. The first was chiefly designed for the Sunday School children in the city, and more than 2,000 of them filled the spacious City Hall, until even standing room was taken. It is estimated that 1,800 people were. turned away, and their disappoiitment was so great that the performance was repeated on the following night. The boys and girls, and the ‘‘children of larger growth,”’-as—well,-were delighted. I cannot deseribe his play. ing, but I wish you may all some time hear it.I-never realized before done with a drum. At-first—he—played-““U.-S;Grant's March,” and.then ‘Phil. Sheridan’s Favorite." He represented alocomotive drawing a train from Bar Harbor. to Portland—-there was the starting, the steady, swift passage, . the slowing up, and letting off steam, and crossing the advancing engine, as wellas hear it. 4 , Then he plunged into a desperate conflict—the dullest among us could not mistake the sounds. We _recogrized the long, heavy roll of the countless musketry, the crash of shot and shell from the batteries, the swift progress of the battle to its culminating point, and the gradual cessation of hostilities—even the sharpshooters were heard picking off the men from. their retreats. ; I heard a lady behind me say: “Well, both he and his drum must be very strongly put together, or they would burst.’’ He used the identical silver drum presented him by Greeley. During the performance he sang some ‘verses devoted to ‘The Army Bean,’ familiar to all soldiers, and occasioned shouts of laughter, the chorus. Brimming over with ‘merriment and full of vim, he captured the good wishes of his audience. Will Build a Debris Dam, The Gold Bank Tunnel will find it a dam to prevent the mining debris brought down by the winter storms from choking up the entrance to their tunnel. They propose to make it of ‘stone. If one company can successfully do this, why cannot a combination of companies in the shape of a Dam Association construct one that will koan the debria fram lanving the mountain streams to. spread over the valley lands? 4 Bahai a Water Supply Aguin Cut Off.
