After the Chinese. — Twocfthe Yuba county anti-mining spies went to Quaker Hill early yesterday morning. They make trips over there two or three times a week to see what is going on in the gravel claims.* «A few days since they caught one crew of Chinamen washing near Quaker Hill in a small w but served no papers on them. Since then the wary Mongolians have emigrated _,to the lower country to wait till the clouds roll by. About three weeks ago a company of Chinamen holding forth at Scott’s Flat \.ere served with injunction papers, and they too have A Bible-Expounder Gives Rein to a Lively Imagination. Rev. John H. Coyle, who was pastor of the Methodist Church at this city nine years ago, and was noted for his eloquence and general ability, is now preaching at Napa. The fervid climate of the ‘‘cow country” and the nearness to his abode of an asylum for the insane seem to have distorted his recollection and heated his imagination. . He contributes to the last issue of the Overland Monthly an article entitled “‘LifeIn An Antiquated Mining Town.” It contains some statements of fact and many exaggerations which coming from the source they doare gone to pastures new.

Died at Los Angeles. Edward P. Carroll, aged about twenty-one years and a member of the Young Men’s Institute at this city, died in.Los Angeles Saturday-of measles. The remains arrived at Grass Valley yesterday and the funeral will take place this afternoon, The deceased y;as born at North San Juan. 4 short time since Le left his parents’ home at Sweetland and went to Los Angeles where he obtained employment in a produce store.

It is more convenient of ‘access to the out-lying districts than any other point, and the superiority of its hotel, halland other accommodations is admitted by all. The main trouble with the meeting at Grass Valley is that ' there is not in the town a con.fortable room or hall large enough to held the session. Anniversary Mass. At St. Canice Catholic Church in this city yesterday morning was celebrated the first annual requiem mass for the repose of the soul of Rev. Father McNulty, formerly rector of the Church, who died @ year’ ago. Rev. Coleman of Marysville officiated as celebrant, Rev. Fathers Dalton and McDonnald of Grass Valley. as first -and_second assistants respectively, and Rev. Father Tanham (present rector of St. Canice) as deacon. ber of Grass Valleyans; attended. A Bursted Boom, At New York Friday stock in the Brunswick claim of Grass Valley, which had been boomed till it reached $1.60 a share, dropped to nothing. It afterwards sold at 19 cents a share. The break occurred throu gh one of the manipulators. of the deal getting ashamed of himself and committing suicide, The exposure of the swindling that has been going on in the stock should not be permitted to interfere with the progress of the claim’s development, asit is really a meritorious prospect. i Official Visitations.

On Monday evening, April 9th, he will pay an official visit to Mistletoe Encampment at this city. He will be royally entertained at both places. _The Foothill Orange Belt. Quite a large congregation, including a numunmerited injury to alarge number of permanent and prosperous towns in the gold-mining portion of the State. He should have particularized as to the communities he refer‘ed to and not indulged in such wholesale criticiems which might by the reader unacquainted with the facts be taken to include every settlement in the gold belt of the Sierra Nevada. Here is the article referred to: The antiquated mining town. is the offspring of great expectations. Built during the wild flurry of the greatest yold excitement of this age or any other, whilst the air was literally alive with flying -rumors-andfabulous_reports of diverse and peculiar kinds, it stands today a monument to the want of judgment and deliberation displayed by its founders. If they had been built in full view of the possibilities of the placers becoming exhausted in a short time,it might be considered a demonstration : of excellent judgment that they were built in the particular manner that prevailed. But itis safe to assume that the idea of exhaustion had no influence whatever over their construction; the quickest way to get to work raking in dollars and cents was the thing aimed at im their hasty architecture. A town built solely to meet the wants of that most uncertain industry of mining is safe to be found wanting in that permanent fonndation that insures contin= uous growth and future greatness. The experience of the last decade amply justifies the generalization by its many instances of towns of bygone wealth and population, which now show every mark of ruin and decay, with a probable future of utter obliteration. odic ‘boom,’ which give a tempor. ry and superficial prosperity; but in ninety-nine cases’ out of a hundred they bring no other profit than the bleeding of. the tenderfout brigade. “Boom” is a high-sounding word, which its victims would define as the process resorted to take gold out of human pockets instead of mother earth’s. The season of a boom infuses life and_vigor_into-a town, but when it subsides, which is generally the period when the tenderfoot departs, the precincts resume their usual don’t care style. The period of ’49 and -’50 was the season of that whirlwind of excitement that gave birth te the mining towns of the Sierra foothills, and during its brief duration there were coastructed in the auriferous belt of toothill country from Shasta county to Mariposa a marvelous number of towns, endowed with phenomenal. life from their advent till the exhaustion of the placers. Their decline was equally rapid. When the placers showed. signs of exhaustion a most wonderful dispersion of people ensued, and the foothills towns were ruined. This dispersion marks ati epoch in the mining hietery of the State as interesting and romantic as the period of the great rush to the gold fields. It is safe to assert that had not circumstances compelled a certain proportion of the population to remuin, total depopulation of the many mining towns would have resulted. Total depopulation was indeed the fate of some, especially those built upon the narrow placer belt where the foothills merged into the plain.

The schemer is a notorious character about a mining camp; he is a prototype of the stock sharp of: big cities, and it is said does more harm than good to the place of his residence. His power of persuasion is something wonderful, and as he employs it upon a subject that has a peculiar fascination about it, more than ordinary resolution is required to withstand it. Gifted in the art of lying and possessed of a flowery tongue he can rattle off glowing perorations on gold, hidden treasure, and wonderful finds by the hour or the day. Hisseventh heaven of delightis when he has edged into the good graces of an incorporated . Company of verdants, and has located them upon sume ordinary hole in the ground. The presence or absence of a quartz lead don’t matter, so long as he has charge of the opening up part. There are two systems of mining,the legitimate, ursed by mismanagement, .and the illegitimate, by. trickery, job-. bery, and misrepresentation. You will find men managing valuable properties who actually known no more about mining than a baby does about’ politics; things are run on a big scale; fancy prices paid for superintendents, foremen, and other help; mills,shops, buildings forshow and for use,are constructed without regard to what is in sight, and the-probabilities are when the enthusiasm for this novel way_ of showing off abates, the pay chute has failed or the property become involyed in ponderous debt. Trickery. jobbery, and -mismanagement have come to be as closely identified with mines and mining as a political boss is with a whisky shop. The outcome of such a state of affairs is ruin; capital avoids the place, and inhabitants lay in a fresh supply of hope and wait for something to turn up. A district or town in this condition is said in mining phraseology to have a ‘‘black-eye.”’ Nevertheless life in a mining town possesses many. redeeming quaiities ; though business may be depressed and mines shut Gown,the people are ever gay and hospitable even to excess. Though coming herein palmy times with the expectation that golden nuggets hung like morning: dew-drops to the surrounding foliage, they have accumulated despite their disappointment an unfailing fund of good nature.

Blaine's Letter-Lottery Legis/ation-Hunting Votes-Dr. Mary Walker Bucks. Wasurnaton, Feb. 20th, 1888. Eprror Transcript—The battle has begun. The first gun was fired by Mr. Blaine when he wrote to Chairman Jones of the Republican National Committee, announcing that his name would not be presented to the Republican nominating convention. The gun was loaded with a dynamite shell, which exploded when the letter was published, and althongh it was a week ayo, reverberations may still be heard and thé echoes will be heard for menths to come from all sections. The first question asked was, what .will be the result of the letter? The answer depended entirely on whom you asked. If opposed to Blaine, it would be emphatically insisted that the letter had completely removed Mr. Blaine from the field, but if you asked a Blaine man, he would promptly reply that the letter flad insured the nomination of Blaine by acclamation,. that his friends did not propose to allow him to have any say whatever in the matter. They were, they said, going right ahead to nom1nate and elect him—President, as a small compensation for his accidental defeat in 1884, but [hive iton the best authority that he weuld not accept under any circumstances, So there you-are.These-twoclasses represent the opinions of ‘all Rpublicans, You can take your choice. But it is only fair tosay that the proportion of opponents to Blaine compared with his supporters is only about one to ten. One direct result of the Blaine letter is to show how much reslly good Presidential material the Republican party contains. There are Allison, Sherman, Sheri lan, Cullom, Ingalls, Edmunds, Hawley, Harrison, Gresham, Hiscock, Evarts, Frye and others yet. Isit not an imposing array of brains and ability? Not a man in the list that would not make a good President. Compire that showing with the Democratic party. _ They have: only two, Cleveland and Hill, both from the same State. It seems as if the average Democratic Congressman is always ready to vote against any legislation that is likely to improve the moral condition of the country. An instance of this was given by the adverse report made on the bill to prohibit the circulation through the mails of newspapers containing lottery advertisements, by a sub-cominittee of the House Post Office Committee, composed of two Democrats and one Republican. ‘The latter voted for a favorable report on the bill. Having passed the Senate, the Blair Educational bill is now before the House, where its fate is enveloped in much doubt. starts out tomcrrow on. a-week’s. hunt for Southern Cleveland delegates to the Democratic nominating convention, The party will consist of the President and Mrs. Cleveland, Secretary and Mrs. Whitney, Col. and Mrs. Lamont. The special train is kindly donated by the railroad, but owing to the absence of the palace car with plate xlass sides, which was used on the Western trip last fall, the loungers around the way stations will not see so much of the occupants‘as did their Western fellow citizens, The enthusiasm which this trip is depended upon to arouse, is expected to carry Cleveland along with a rush until enough delegates are secured to make his nomination certain, an expectation that all good Republicans hope will be realized. It would takeaway half of the pleasure .of defeating the Democrats this year if Cleveland should fail to get the nomination, Saturday was yiven up hy the Senate Committee on the District of Columbia to a hearing on the Platt bill prohibiting the sale of into xicating liquors in this District. There was quite a large crowd present, mostly ladies, and the hearing of the same old arguments on both sides of the question had grown s>»mewhat monotonous when the slender figure of Dr. Mary Walker arose from a back seat. With silk hat in hand she made her way through the crowd to the front of the table around which the committee sat, and asked for five minutes time. . She started out by saying she was opposed to the bill. This created great surprise among the lady prohibitionists present, as many of them remémbered that many years ago the doctor had asked Congress to pass a law almost indentical with this bill. She said her reason for opposing the bill was that such a law could not bé enforced. She said Congress might as well attempt to pass a bill forbidding women wearing hoops, bustles, corsets, and trains, or compel them to dress like Dr. Mary Walker. She concluded her remarks by saying that tobacco was more injurious to the buman race than aleohol. The ladies, whg did not affiliate with Dr. Mary of late, do not relish the episode. ; Forry-NINneR,.

Quite a large congregation, including a numunmerited injury to alarge number of permanent and prosperous towns in the gold-mining portion of the State. He should have particularized as to the communities he refer‘ed to and not indulged in such wholesale criticiems which might by the reader unacquainted with the facts be taken to include every settlement in the gold belt of the Sierra Nevada. Here is the article referred to: The antiquated mining town. is the offspring of great expectations. Built during the wild flurry of the greatest yold excitement of this age or any other, whilst the air was literally alive with flying -rumors-andfabulous_reports of diverse and peculiar kinds, it stands today a monument to the want of judgment and deliberation displayed by its founders. If they had been built in full view of the possibilities of the placers becoming exhausted in a short time,it might be considered a demonstration : of excellent judgment that they were built in the particular manner that prevailed. But itis safe to assume that the idea of exhaustion had no influence whatever over their construction; the quickest way to get to work raking in dollars and cents was the thing aimed at im their hasty architecture. A town built solely to meet the wants of that most uncertain industry of mining is safe to be found wanting in that permanent fonndation that insures contin= uous growth and future greatness. The experience of the last decade amply justifies the generalization by its many instances of towns of bygone wealth and population, which now show every mark of ruin and decay, with a probable future of utter obliteration. odic ‘boom,’ which give a tempor. ry and superficial prosperity; but in ninety-nine cases’ out of a hundred they bring no other profit than the bleeding of. the tenderfout brigade. “Boom” is a high-sounding word, which its victims would define as the process resorted to take gold out of human pockets instead of mother earth’s. The season of a boom infuses life and_vigor_into-a town, but when it subsides, which is generally the period when the tenderfoot departs, the precincts resume their usual don’t care style. The period of ’49 and -’50 was the season of that whirlwind of excitement that gave birth te the mining towns of the Sierra foothills, and during its brief duration there were coastructed in the auriferous belt of toothill country from Shasta county to Mariposa a marvelous number of towns, endowed with phenomenal. life from their advent till the exhaustion of the placers. Their decline was equally rapid. When the placers showed. signs of exhaustion a most wonderful dispersion of people ensued, and the foothills towns were ruined. This dispersion marks ati epoch in the mining hietery of the State as interesting and romantic as the period of the great rush to the gold fields. It is safe to assert that had not circumstances compelled a certain proportion of the population to remuin, total depopulation of the many mining towns would have resulted. Total depopulation was indeed the fate of some, especially those built upon the narrow placer belt where the foothills merged into the plain.

The schemer is a notorious character about a mining camp; he is a prototype of the stock sharp of: big cities, and it is said does more harm than good to the place of his residence. His power of persuasion is something wonderful, and as he employs it upon a subject that has a peculiar fascination about it, more than ordinary resolution is required to withstand it. Gifted in the art of lying and possessed of a flowery tongue he can rattle off glowing perorations on gold, hidden treasure, and wonderful finds by the hour or the day. Hisseventh heaven of delightis when he has edged into the good graces of an incorporated . Company of verdants, and has located them upon sume ordinary hole in the ground. The presence or absence of a quartz lead don’t matter, so long as he has charge of the opening up part. There are two systems of mining,the legitimate, ursed by mismanagement, .and the illegitimate, by. trickery, job-. bery, and misrepresentation. You will find men managing valuable properties who actually known no more about mining than a baby does about’ politics; things are run on a big scale; fancy prices paid for superintendents, foremen, and other help; mills,shops, buildings forshow and for use,are constructed without regard to what is in sight, and the-probabilities are when the enthusiasm for this novel way_ of showing off abates, the pay chute has failed or the property become involyed in ponderous debt. Trickery. jobbery, and -mismanagement have come to be as closely identified with mines and mining as a political boss is with a whisky shop. The outcome of such a state of affairs is ruin; capital avoids the place, and inhabitants lay in a fresh supply of hope and wait for something to turn up. A district or town in this condition is said in mining phraseology to have a ‘‘black-eye.”’ Nevertheless life in a mining town possesses many. redeeming quaiities ; though business may be depressed and mines shut Gown,the people are ever gay and hospitable even to excess.

Blaine's Letter-Lottery Legis/ation-Hunting Votes-Dr. Mary Walker Bucks. Wasurnaton, Feb. 20th, 1888. Eprror Transcript—The battle has begun. The first gun was fired by Mr. Blaine when he wrote to Chairman Jones of the Republican National Committee, announcing that his name would not be presented to the Republican nominating convention. The gun was loaded with a dynamite shell, which exploded when the letter was published, and althongh it was a week ayo, reverberations may still be heard and thé echoes will be heard for menths to come from all sections. The first question asked was, what .will be the result of the letter? The answer depended entirely on whom you asked. If opposed to Blaine, it would be emphatically insisted that the letter had completely removed Mr. Blaine from the field, but if you asked a Blaine man, he would promptly reply that the letter flad insured the nomination of Blaine by acclamation,. that his friends did not propose to allow him to have any say whatever in the matter. They were, they said, going right ahead to nom1nate and elect him—President, as a small compensation for his accidental defeat in 1884, but [hive iton the best authority that he weuld not accept under any circumstances, So there you-are.These-twoclasses represent the opinions of ‘all Rpublicans, You can take your choice. But it is only fair tosay that the proportion of opponents to Blaine compared with his supporters is only about one to ten. One direct result of the Blaine letter is to show how much reslly good Presidential material the Republican party contains. There are Allison, Sherman, Sheri lan, Cullom, Ingalls, Edmunds, Hawley, Harrison, Gresham, Hiscock, Evarts, Frye and others yet. Isit not an imposing array of brains and ability? Not a man in the list that would not make a good President. Compire that showing with the Democratic party. _ They have: only two, Cleveland and Hill, both from the same State. It seems as if the average Democratic Congressman is always ready to vote against any legislation that is likely to improve the moral condition of the country. An instance of this was given by the adverse report made on the bill to prohibit the circulation through the mails of newspapers containing lottery advertisements, by a sub-cominittee of the House Post Office Committee, composed of two Democrats and one Republican. ‘The latter voted for a favorable report on the bill. Having passed the Senate, the Blair Educational bill is now before the House, where its fate is enveloped in much doubt. starts out tomcrrow on. a-week’s. hunt for Southern Cleveland delegates to the Democratic nominating convention, The party will consist of the President and Mrs. Cleveland, Secretary and Mrs. Whitney, Col. and Mrs. Lamont. The special train is kindly donated by the railroad, but owing to the absence of the palace car with plate xlass sides, which was used on the Western trip last fall, the loungers around the way stations will not see so much of the occupants‘as did their Western fellow citizens, The enthusiasm which this trip is depended upon to arouse, is expected to carry Cleveland along with a rush until enough delegates are secured to make his nomination certain, an expectation that all good Republicans hope will be realized. It would takeaway half of the pleasure .of defeating the Democrats this year if Cleveland should fail to get the nomination, Saturday was yiven up hy the Senate Committee on the District of Columbia to a hearing on the Platt bill prohibiting the sale of into xicating liquors in this District. There was quite a large crowd present, mostly ladies, and the hearing of the same old arguments on both sides of the question had grown s>»mewhat monotonous when the slender figure of Dr. Mary Walker arose from a back seat. With silk hat in hand she made her way through the crowd to the front of the table around which the committee sat, and asked for five minutes time. . She started out by saying she was opposed to the bill. This created great surprise among the lady prohibitionists present, as many of them remémbered that many years ago the doctor had asked Congress to pass a law almost indentical with this bill. She said her reason for opposing the bill was that such a law could not bé enforced. She said Congress might as well attempt to pass a bill forbidding women wearing hoops, bustles, corsets, and trains, or compel them to dress like Dr. Mary Walker. She concluded her remarks by saying that tobacco was more injurious to the buman race than aleohol. The ladies, whg did not affiliate with Dr. Mary of late, do not relish the episode. ; Forry-NINneR,.
