ASSEMBLYMAN SIMS."~ Always on the Right Side—That 6¢Crown of Glory.” The Sacramento Record-Union. of Saturday pays this compliment to the gentleman who so able represents this district in the Assembly : ‘‘Rev. Josiah Sims, of Nevada City, believes in church militant, politically, and his sonorous voice may always be depended upon in defense of right and justice. Two years ago he became known as the orator of the Assembly, a title which he seems likely to hold. Every measure which he has advocated this session has been successful. He is Chairman of the Committee on Public Morals, and, of course, a Republican.” The Sacramento correspondent of ~“the Oakland Tribune perpetrates the following: ‘‘The Rev. Josiah Sims, As* semblyman from Nevada county, has @ magnificent voice. In a brief speech upon the Dennis Jordan claim he answered a member whe had quoted from Scripture upon the age of man. The Reverend Assemblyman Sims said _that if the gentleman would pursue his investigation further he would learn that gray hair is a crown of glory. The sparse locks, the mustache and the chin whiskers of the Reverend Assemblyman are kept in continuous mourning by careful applications of brown-black dye. Mr, Sims does not belieVe in a crown of glory for himself in this vale of woe.” The Prevailing Passion. Whist parties are steadily growing in favor. Folis are reading up and practicing, consulting local authorities, and discussing the game at home apd abroad. The play is fascinating, instructive and enjoyable. To be a good whist player is the ambition of many of our people, and to do so they have erganized clubs and family par--ties.-One-of these.parties-.was.given Saturday evening by Mrs. J. V. Hunter} yy 6 tunnels. do not -require timbering. . at her residence on Aristocracy Hill. Twenty of her friends were summoned to.appear.at8 o’clock.toimprove.them,, selves in the mysteries and vombinations of the game and enjoy the hospitality of Mrs. Hunter’s home. Play closed at XI o’elock when it was discovered/that Hon, A. Walrath and Miss Lacy Bobo won the first: prizes and J. M. Hadley and Miss KE, Marcellus carried off the booby prizes by the unprecedented score of 40 pointe lost to 9 points won. . After the prizes were awarded a fine collation ; was served and partaken of with the usual accompanying talk about the ‘‘horrible hands we held,” ‘‘you ought have finessed,’”” ‘‘why didn’t you lead trumps?” etc., etc. The company dispersed about 12 o’clock and went home happy and conscious that Mrs. Hunter isa royal entertainer. Grass Valley’s New Paper. Messrs. Shoemaker & Prisk’s new evening paper, the Grass Valley Telegraph, ig reported to Have made its first appearance Saturday evening, but no copy has as yet reached the county seat. [tis said to consist of four pages with three columns to the page;.and to be well patronized by advertisers as well as interesting in the way of news items furnished.—-The publishers intended to get out the first number Friday evening, but were delayed by somebody’s carelessness in pieing a form when going to press. Col. Shoemaker is more than ever convinced that Friday is an unlucky day. Claims He Was Bobbed. J. C. Ketchum, an aged man who lives at the Church ranch on the Scott's Flat road, came to town Saturday night and indulged freely in mixed drinks. Next morning when he regained his senses he alleged that he had = been’ robbed during the night of $180 in coin that he had about his person. One friend returned to him during the day some $40 that the friend had taken from-him while he was drunk for safekeeping. $100 aDay. It is now announced as quite certain that ex-Senator C. W.

State Mineralogist Irelan gives the following description of the Delhi; This mine is situated in a deep rafrom the south, at a point three and a half miles in a westerly direction from the town of Columbia Hill, its altitude being two thousand five hundred feet. This property was noticed in the report of the State Mineralogist for 1886. As it has been, however, undefgoing considerable changes since, a further description of it seems required at this time. The country in}. the vicinity of this mine is metamorphie slate, intersected by dikes of crystalline rock, the topography being such that the mine can be worked to a great depth by tunnels. The course of the vein is about north 10 degrees east by south 10 degrees west, with an easterly dip of 75 degrees and an average width of six feet. The length of the ore shoot is stated at three hundred and fifty to four hundred feet, though on inspection it seems to be somewhat less. The mine is opened by two tunnels, and a third tunnel of fonr hundred and seventy feet in length is on the point of cutting the vein at the depth of five hundred and twenty-five feet. Above tunnel No. 1 the ore shoot is worked out. In No, 2 stoping is going on. The walls are slate, with a slight black gouge. They are very smooth and perfect in general, About two hundred inches of water are flowing from Tunnel No. 2; and in No. 3, near the vein, it fulls. in torrents from the roof, since cutting through one of the dikes mentioned, which seems-to accompany the vein at no great distunce in the hangingwall. Giant powder No, 2, is used for blasting, and of this about five tons are consumed a year. The drilling by hand, The average cost of mining and milling for the year has been $z per ton. No. 3 tunnel cost $10 per foot without the track, being driven at the rate of fifty feet per month, by the labor of six men. The dimensions of this tunnel are six feet by seven féet. The etopes are heavily timbered with spruce and pine, co. ting 14¢ cents per running fout in the woods; 24% cent» at the mine. s The company has constructed four miles of roads for wood and—lumbe: hauling, and six miles of ditch for bringing in water. The mill being on the mine, there is no expense for transportation of ore. The ore is quartz, carrying iron and e¢opper pyrites, arsenical pyrites and a smull proportion of galena and: blende. Ii is treated by wet stamping, umalgumation in the batteries and on plates, and concentration by Frue and Triumph yanners. The mill is workeu by water power with two hundred and forty feet fall, by means of four Pelton wheels, us follows: One on a Blake rock breaker, using ten inches; one on stamps, using thirty-six miner’s inches; one, on~ hoist, using fifteen miner’s inches; one on concentrators, using fourteen miner’s inches. The total water used for power is seventyfive miners inches, The water is owned by the company. he ore here has to be hoisted, for the réason that the mill is located above Tunnel No, 2, through whi h the ore is now brought out. ‘fhe mill hus eighteen stamps, two batteries of four each and two of five each, The weight of each stamp in the fourstamp mortars is one thousand pounds; in the five-stamp mortars, one thotsand one hundred pounds, The drops are six inches and the number of drops per minute ninety-four. Each stamp crushes two and-one: hali tons in twenty-four hours, and can, if required, crush three and one half tons daily, through a No. 10 short slot-punched screen, The unusually bigh stamp: duty in this mill must be ascribed mainly to the comparative coarseness of the screens, but partly also to the use of reck breakers and machine feeders. The screens on the four-stamp bat~teries are forty-four inches long by fourteen inches high inside the frames; on the: five-siamp batteires they are fifty-five inches long and twenty inches high, Of the amalgamation obtained 35 per cent.<is recovered from the mortars, the remainder from the various plates. The reason of the comparatively small propurtion saved in the batteries is chiefly the coarsethis result bein ‘due also to the fine condition of gold. The-aprons are in four sections, each four feet long and as wide as the respective mortars, there being from section to section a drop of a few inches. From these plates the pulp pisses to the céncentrators—two Triumph and two Frue —after which it flows over four plates, each twelve feet long by eighteen inches wide, arranged in sections like the upper plates, in step form, with a trough across the lower end, Back plates bave been used in the fivestamp batteries, but will be replacea by riffles. Chuck blocks (front plates) from four to five inches high, and the length of the mortars, are'only used with very rich ore, speed being then reduced to eighty drops per minute. The plates are all silvered, The ore here yields three per cent. of sulphurets, of the assay value of $80 to $100 in gold per ton. The concentrates are treated by chlorination, at the company’s works, adjacent to the mill, at a stated cost of $6 per ton, 93 per cent. of the assay yalue being recovered, The walls are slate, exceptionally good, especially the foot. The stated average width of the vein is not in the least exaggerated,and everything,from wall to wall, within the limits of the the ore per ton is not given; but from various indications it would seem to be not less, and probably more, $12 per ton. In the mine ten men are employed in stoping for the eighteen stamps. The mill employs five men, and five more are variously occupied about the works. The wages paid in the mine and mill are $3 a-day; for outside work, $2.50 a day. The chlorination works are not in operation just now, being required only at intervals as the concentrates accumulate. ‘There is a second vein in the foot-wall which dves -notpay for working, and the existence of a third is expected on the hanging side.

Pacific Company. In December, 1885, the defendants entered upon the land, located a mining claim, dispossessed the plaintiff and began mining, claiming the right to the possession of the land and that all mineral land was} reserved in the grant by Congress to the railroad. At the trial that part of the defendant’s answer which set up this claim was, on motion of plaintiff, stricken out, and an objection to their offer.to prove the land was mineral was sustained. Upon these two points the appeal was taken. The court’s opinion is lengthy and exhaustive, and numerous precedents are cited to sustain it, In the closing paragraphs the following is the language: “Our opinion is that where a patent issuesfor public land under a law which _provides-for-its distribution as agricultural land—either to a railroad company or to pre-emption of home. . stead claimants—and there is no reservation in the land except a general one of mineral lands, and no reservation at ull in the patent, then the land must be considered as agricultural.” ee A Oard. r 8) In behalf of the ladies of the W.

ASSEMBLYMAN SIMS."~ Always on the Right Side—That 6¢Crown of Glory.” The Sacramento Record-Union. of Saturday pays this compliment to the gentleman who so able represents this district in the Assembly : ‘‘Rev. Josiah Sims, of Nevada City, believes in church militant, politically, and his sonorous voice may always be depended upon in defense of right and justice. Two years ago he became known as the orator of the Assembly, a title which he seems likely to hold. Every measure which he has advocated this session has been successful. He is Chairman of the Committee on Public Morals, and, of course, a Republican.” The Sacramento correspondent of ~“the Oakland Tribune perpetrates the following: ‘‘The Rev. Josiah Sims, As* semblyman from Nevada county, has @ magnificent voice. In a brief speech upon the Dennis Jordan claim he answered a member whe had quoted from Scripture upon the age of man. The Reverend Assemblyman Sims said _that if the gentleman would pursue his investigation further he would learn that gray hair is a crown of glory. The sparse locks, the mustache and the chin whiskers of the Reverend Assemblyman are kept in continuous mourning by careful applications of brown-black dye. Mr, Sims does not belieVe in a crown of glory for himself in this vale of woe.” The Prevailing Passion. Whist parties are steadily growing in favor. Folis are reading up and practicing, consulting local authorities, and discussing the game at home apd abroad. The play is fascinating, instructive and enjoyable. To be a good whist player is the ambition of many of our people, and to do so they have erganized clubs and family par--ties.-One-of these.parties-.was.given Saturday evening by Mrs. J. V.

Col. Shoemaker is more than ever convinced that Friday is an unlucky day. Claims He Was Bobbed. J. C.

State Mineralogist Irelan gives the following description of the Delhi; This mine is situated in a deep rafrom the south, at a point three and a half miles in a westerly direction from the town of Columbia Hill, its altitude being two thousand five hundred feet. This property was noticed in the report of the State Mineralogist for 1886. As it has been, however, undefgoing considerable changes since, a further description of it seems required at this time. The country in}. the vicinity of this mine is metamorphie slate, intersected by dikes of crystalline rock, the topography being such that the mine can be worked to a great depth by tunnels.. The course of the vein is about north 10 degrees east by south 10 degrees west, with an easterly dip of 75 degrees and an average width of six feet. The length of the ore shoot is stated at three hundred and fifty to four hundred feet, though on inspection it seems to be somewhat less. The mine is opened by two tunnels, and a third tunnel of fonr hundred and seventy feet in length is on the point of cutting the vein at the depth of five hundred and twenty-five feet. Above tunnel No. 1 the ore shoot is worked out. In No, 2 stoping is going on. The walls are slate, with a slight black gouge. They are very smooth and perfect in general, About two hundred inches of water are flowing from Tunnel No. 2; and in No. 3, near the vein, it fulls. in torrents from the roof, since cutting through one of the dikes mentioned, which seems-to accompany the vein at no great distunce in the hangingwall. Giant powder No, 2, is used for blasting, and of this about five tons are consumed a year. The drilling by hand, The average cost of mining and milling for the year has been $z per ton. No. 3 tunnel cost $10 per foot without the track, being driven at the rate of fifty feet per month, by the labor of six men. The dimensions of this tunnel are six feet by seven féet. The etopes are heavily timbered with spruce and pine, co. ting 14¢ cents per running fout in the woods; 24% cent» at the mine. s The company has constructed four miles of roads for wood and—lumbe: hauling, and six miles of ditch for bringing in water. The mill being on the mine, there is no expense for transportation of ore. The ore is quartz, carrying iron and e¢opper pyrites, arsenical pyrites and a smull proportion of galena and: blende. Ii is treated by wet stamping, umalgumation in the batteries and on plates, and concentration by Frue and Triumph yanners. The mill is workeu by water power with two hundred and forty feet fall, by means of four Pelton wheels, us follows: One on a Blake rock breaker, using ten inches; one on stamps, using thirty-six miner’s inches; one, on~ hoist, using fifteen miner’s inches; one on concentrators, using fourteen miner’s inches. The total water used for power is seventyfive miners inches, The water is owned by the company. he ore here has to be hoisted, for the réason that the mill is located above Tunnel No, 2, through whi h the ore is now brought out. ‘fhe mill hus eighteen stamps, two batteries of four each and two of five each, The weight of each stamp in the fourstamp mortars is one thousand pounds; in the five-stamp mortars, one thotsand one hundred pounds, The drops are six inches and the number of drops per minute ninety-four. Each stamp crushes two and-one: hali tons in twenty-four hours, and can, if required, crush three and one half tons daily, through a No. 10 short slot-punched screen, The unusually bigh stamp: duty in this mill must be ascribed mainly to the comparative coarseness of the screens, but partly also to the use of reck breakers and machine feeders. The screens on the four-stamp bat~teries are forty-four inches long by fourteen inches high inside the frames; on the: five-siamp batteires they are fifty-five inches long and twenty inches high, Of the amalgamation obtained 35 per cent.<is recovered from the mortars, the remainder from the various plates. The reason of the comparatively small propurtion saved in the batteries is chiefly the coarsethis result bein ‘due also to the fine condition of gold. The-aprons are in four sections, each four feet long and as wide as the respective mortars, there being from section to section a drop of a few inches. From these plates the pulp pisses to the céncentrators—two Triumph and two Frue —after which it flows over four plates, each twelve feet long by eighteen inches wide, arranged in sections like the upper plates, in step form, with a trough across the lower end, Back plates bave been used in the fivestamp batteries, but will be replacea by riffles. Chuck blocks (front plates) from four to five inches high, and the length of the mortars, are'only used with very rich ore, speed being then reduced to eighty drops per minute. The plates are all silvered, The ore here yields three per cent. of sulphurets, of the assay value of $80 to $100 in gold per ton.. The concentrates are treated by chlorination, at the company’s works, adjacent to the mill, at a stated cost of $6 per ton, 93 per cent. of the assay yalue being recovered, The walls are slate, exceptionally good, especially the foot. The stated average width of the vein is not in the least exaggerated,and everything,from wall to wall, within the limits of the the ore per ton is not given; but from various indications it would seem to be not less, and probably more, $12 per ton. In the mine ten men are employed in stoping for the eighteen stamps. The mill employs five men, and five more are variously occupied about the works. The wages paid in the mine and mill are $3 a-day; for outside work, $2.50 a day. The chlorination works are not in operation just now, being required only at intervals as the concentrates accumulate. ‘There is a second vein in the foot-wall which dves -notpay for working, and the existence of a third is expected on the hanging side.

In December, 1885, the defendants entered upon the land, located a mining claim, dispossessed the plaintiff and began mining, claiming the right to the possession of the land and that all mineral land was} reserved in the grant by Congress to the railroad. At the trial that part of the defendant’s answer which set up this claim was, on motion of plaintiff, stricken out, and an objection to their offer.to prove the land was mineral was sustained. Upon these two points the appeal was taken. The court’s opinion is lengthy and exhaustive, and numerous precedents are cited to sustain it, In the closing paragraphs the following is the language: “Our opinion is that where a patent issuesfor public land under a law which _provides-for-its distribution as agricultural land—either to a railroad company or to pre-emption of home. . stead claimants—and there is no reservation in the land except a general one of mineral lands, and no reservation at ull in the patent, then the land must be considered as agricultural.” ee A Oard. r 8) In behalf of the ladies of the W.
