A gentleman who just returned from Sacramento says: ‘You. will notice that the Senate Committee on Mines and Mining is composed mostly of grangers. This was a great surprise as well as disappointment to the mining section representatives when the announcement was first made, but on looking over the ground carefully I think it can be safely said that the committee is made up of fair-minded. men who will not be inclined to.do ah injustice to either side of the question.” ‘Do you think,”’asked the newsman, “there will be an attempt this winter toenact-any rabid anti-mining legislation ?”’ “No,’? was the answer. ‘‘The antiminers seem to be satisfied to let matters rest as they are. On the Assembly committee on mining; Nevada county, which has more direct interest in that industry than any part of the State, does not have a solitary representative. The speaker of the House is believed is believed to be at hea a rabid anti-miner.” : A Fine Performance. The theatrical performance at this city Tuesday evening was one of the most satisfactory given here in a long time. ‘The World Against Her’’ is one ofthe most powerful and, effective of-modern melodramas, and it loses nothing at the hands of Mr. Grismer and his very talented and charming wife, and the excellent company supporting them. Among the members of thé’troupe are Frank Hatch, a comedian who long ago installed himself as a favorite with Nevada City audiences, and Miss Bowman who appeared here last year as the Bad Boy in ‘The Corner Grocery.” The play abounds with sensational situations interspersed with laughable scenes.and pathetic passages. The audience that witnessed its rendition Tuesday evening filled the Theater upstaira and _ down. os Getting Monotonous. oe —Joe, @ native of Chili, who has-been . +5 ir living on Little Deer Creek for many years, claims that his cabin was robbed eight limes during the past year.

Population and Property Statis‘tics—Mineral Products. The State Mineralogist, William Trelan, Jr., has issued from the office of the State Printer his annual report. It tis a volume of 948 pages, exclusive of maps, charts and whole page cuts, and is. replete with’ useful information.Tn speaking of Caiifornia he says the population exceeds 1,500,000 souls, over 100,000 being .Chinamen. The number of inhabitants has of late increased very rapidly, this increment having occurred during the past’ six years. The assessed’ value of the property of the State, as shown by the County Assessors, for 1888,amounts to $1,063,863,675, being an increase of $108 ,417,836 over the valuation of the preceding year, The valuation of the railroad property, amounting to $43,242,652, is not included in the above figures, as it is assessed separately by the Board of Equalization. eae ae _, According to authoritative statements, the value of the bullion produced in California amounts, up to this time, to a total of $1,210,000,000. Of this sum, $1,174,000,000 have? consisted of gold, and $36,000,000 of silver. Of the more important useful minerals, there have been produced,meantime, values approximating as follows: Quicksilver, $60,000,000; borax, $5,000,000 ; salt $4,000,000. : Our deposits of coal, copper, lead, petroleum and asphaltum, building stones and plastic clays have all been worked ona large scale, and generally with remunerative results, while the working of our deposits of antimony, chromic iron and gypsum have ranked among the suberdinate but always paying industries of the State. Deposits of iron, graphite, sulphur manganese, asbestos, soda, nitre and in short, almost every mineral substance found in nature, occur in California; and although none of these have as yet been much utilized,enough is known to indicate for the most; of them a large prospective value. Extending for nearly 400 miles along the westerly foothills of the ‘Sierra _Nevadas occur the main gold fields of the State, having an average width of Another, but smati= er, gold fiéld occupies the northwest angle of the State.

We hope to do better work in the future than we haxs:in the past. The Nevada County Teacher’s Institute was held in Nevada City, in the month of April, commencing on the second, and lasted five days. The sessiom was conducted by the teachers of the county. The Institute was divided into two sided over by teachers appointed by of the sections was outlined and published a month: before the Institute eonveried. The section work occupied the forenoon. In the afternoon the teachers assembled together for general Institute work. This plan of conduciing the Institute is decidedly the best I have seen tried. The scheme eaables the Superintendent to bring to the front all the teachers upon the regular every day school work. ° Hon, of. Ira G.

It has been referred to the Committee on Banks and Banking. Camille Cleveland. This.is from the Grass Valluy Union: The following published by thie Music and Drama, San Francisco, refers to two sisters, Katie and Camille Cleveland, who were born in Grass Valley: “A Rockford, Illinois, exchange tells the following pleasant, little story of how Mrs. De Belville has a sweet-faced and: sweet-voiced little sister, called Camille Cleveland, who has been-making quite a hit in a juvenile opera company. On Christmas eye Mrs. De Belville, at-the Opera House in Rockford, heard Miss Camille sing in ‘Olivette,’ and shared with the audience received the following letter: Postmaster Clarke of this city has Punvuam, Conn,; dan7,1889.— Dark Sin—In the month of December, 1851, E arrived at your place. At that time it was a small mining town, only one lady (a Mrs. Phelps) being in the place I think. I bought my milk of her and paid one dollar a quart for it. Thad a cabin near what was galled Roger Williams’ spring. Atier mining in the vicinity of Nevada of Sugar Loaf-and-after mining there for nearly six months, I returned to Nevada Ciiy and_was there till near 1853. Then I went to San Francisco. Can_you inform me if there-has been a history written in regard to the courts of California? Ifso I would two others with inyself went over back . A lady who is now dwelling in Washin ton, as she has been for tho last three or four years, in one of the finest houses of the city, who has no end of money, and all that sort of thing, is in serious trouble, says a Washington correspondent, and feels that the social season for her has been a failure. She was not blessed with tho gift of discretion, and the owfre things she has said and done have been the town talk ever since she made her appearance in Washington. The trouble this time came from an pt to separate the sheep from the goats, as it were, in a social way. This lady, who always has entertained elegantly, and desired’ to do so more than ever this winter, issued invitations for three teas, which were intended to introduce her lovely yoyng daughter to society. To the first tea all he creme dé la creme were asked and went. To the second tea another company, @ degree lower in cast, as caste. is understood in Washington, were invited, and to the third all the rest were told to come like poor relations,» : : It does not seem io have occurred to the hostess that her friends might not like to be classified in this way, but the discrimination would not have been so conspicuous if the lady herself had not given it away.” Toa particuler friend who was notin town when the first tea was given, sho sent an invitation to the second, and explained that sho was sorry because he ‘could not meet our best set.” The little remark was. innocently repeated as characteristic of a lady who often said foolish things, and then was maliciously circulated, as -such_remarks often are. It was over the whole town in a week, Those whoattended the second tea didw’t like it any to well, but the third lot were howling mad, and not more than a dozen came, although a hundred or more were expected and provided for. People then began to ask their “acquaintances if they belonged to Mrs. So-and-So's first, second or third-set. Those who were asked to the first set enjoyed it, but the others didn’t see the. joke. ; Finally the lady learned the cause of the Small attendance at her third entertainment, and felt very bad about it, for she is too good-humored to intentionally offend any one. ._ Then she set about to contrive some ‘way of retrieving the error, but instead of getting out fell still deeper into the mire. A charity ball was given with tickets at two dollars a head. She purchased two hundred-of these tickets and sent them, with her comfilments, to all who had_ received invitations to the third tea. It was kindly intended, but had an effect opposite to that desired, for those Who received the .compliments felt more like poor relations than ever. Some threw tho ti¢kets-into the fire; others returned them to the lady with indignant or sarcastic notes, saying that while they were not so rich as she they were still able to pay their way to any entertainment they wanted to attend, and were not accepting charity. And at the ball it was a common joke for the guests to ask one another if they came in on Mrs, So-and-so’s charity bitter, nauseous medicines, is the ~ « agreeable liquid fruit remedy, Sy»). 1 Figs.

A gentleman who just returned from Sacramento says: ‘You. will notice that the Senate Committee on Mines and Mining is composed mostly of grangers. This was a great surprise as well as disappointment to the mining section representatives when the announcement was first made, but on looking over the ground carefully I think it can be safely said that the committee is made up of fair-minded. men who will not be inclined to.do ah injustice to either side of the question.” ‘Do you think,”’asked the newsman, “there will be an attempt this winter toenact-any rabid anti-mining legislation ?”’ “No,’? was the answer. ‘‘The antiminers seem to be satisfied to let matters rest as they are. On the Assembly committee on mining; Nevada county, which has more direct interest in that industry than any part of the State, does not have a solitary representative. The speaker of the House is believed is believed to be at hea a rabid anti-miner.” : A Fine Performance. The theatrical performance at this city Tuesday evening was one of the most satisfactory given here in a long time. ‘The World Against Her’’ is one ofthe most powerful and, effective of-modern melodramas, and it loses nothing at the hands of Mr. Grismer and his very talented and charming wife, and the excellent company supporting them. Among the members of thé’troupe are Frank Hatch, a comedian who long ago installed himself as a favorite with Nevada City audiences, and Miss Bowman who appeared here last year as the Bad Boy in ‘The Corner Grocery.” The play abounds with sensational situations interspersed with laughable scenes.and pathetic passages. The audience that witnessed its rendition Tuesday evening filled the Theater upstaira and _ down. os Getting Monotonous. oe —Joe, @ native of Chili, who has-been . +5 ir living on Little Deer Creek for many years, claims that his cabin was robbed eight limes during the past year.

Population and Property Statis‘tics—Mineral Products. The State Mineralogist, William Trelan, Jr., has issued from the office of the State Printer his annual report. It tis a volume of 948 pages, exclusive of maps, charts and whole page cuts, and is. replete with’ useful information.Tn speaking of Caiifornia he says the population exceeds 1,500,000 souls, over 100,000 being .Chinamen. The number of inhabitants has of late increased very rapidly, this increment having occurred during the past’ six years. The assessed’ value of the property of the State, as shown by the County Assessors, for 1888,amounts to $1,063,863,675, being an increase of $108 ,417,836 over the valuation of the preceding year, The valuation of the railroad property, amounting to $43,242,652, is not included in the above figures, as it is assessed separately by the Board of Equalization. eae ae _, According to authoritative statements, the value of the bullion produced in California amounts, up to this time, to a total of $1,210,000,000. Of this sum, $1,174,000,000 have? consisted of gold, and $36,000,000 of silver. Of the more important useful minerals, there have been produced,meantime, values approximating as follows: Quicksilver, $60,000,000; borax, $5,000,000 ; salt $4,000,000. : Our deposits of coal, copper, lead, petroleum and asphaltum, building stones and plastic clays have all been worked ona large scale, and generally with remunerative results, while the working of our deposits of antimony, chromic iron and gypsum have ranked among the suberdinate but always paying industries of the State. Deposits of iron, graphite, sulphur manganese, asbestos, soda, nitre and in short, almost every mineral substance found in nature, occur in California; and although none of these have as yet been much utilized,enough is known to indicate for the most; of them a large prospective value. Extending for nearly 400 miles along the westerly foothills of the ‘Sierra _Nevadas occur the main gold fields of the State, having an average width of Another, but smati= er, gold fiéld occupies the northwest angle of the State.

We hope to do better work in the future than we haxs:in the past.. The Nevada County Teacher’s Institute was held in Nevada City, in the month of April, commencing on the second, and lasted five days. The sessiom was conducted by the teachers of the county. The Institute was divided into two sided over by teachers appointed by of the sections was outlined and published a month: before the Institute eonveried. The section work occupied the forenoon. In the afternoon the teachers assembled together for general Institute work. This plan of conduciing the Institute is decidedly the best I have seen tried. The scheme eaables the Superintendent to bring to the front all the teachers upon the regular every day school work. ° Hon, of. Ira G.

A lady who is now dwelling in Washin ton, as she has been for tho last three or four years, in one of the finest houses of the city, who has no end of money, and all that sort of thing, is in serious trouble, says a Washington correspondent, and feels that the social season for her has been a failure. She was not blessed with tho gift of discretion, and the owfre things she has said and done have been the town talk ever since she made her appearance in Washington. The trouble this time came from an pt to separate the sheep from the goats, as it were, in a social way. This lady, who always has entertained elegantly, and desired’ to do so more than ever this winter, issued invitations for three teas, which were intended to introduce her lovely yoyng daughter to society. To the first tea all he creme dé la creme were asked and went. To the second tea another company, @ degree lower in cast, as caste. is understood in Washington, were invited, and to the third all the rest were told to come like poor relations,» : : It does not seem io have occurred to the hostess that her friends might not like to be classified in this way, but the discrimination would not have been so conspicuous if the lady herself had not given it away.” Toa particuler friend who was notin town when the first tea was given, sho sent an invitation to the second, and explained that sho was sorry because he ‘could not meet our best set.” The little remark was. innocently repeated as characteristic of a lady who often said foolish things, and then was maliciously circulated, as -such_remarks often are. It was over the whole town in a week, Those whoattended the second tea didw’t like it any to well, but the third lot were howling mad, and not more than a dozen came, although a hundred or more were expected and provided for. People then began to ask their “acquaintances if they belonged to Mrs. So-and-So's first, second or third-set. Those who were asked to the first set enjoyed it, but the others didn’t see the. joke. ; Finally the lady learned the cause of the Small attendance at her third entertainment, and felt very bad about it, for she is too good-humored to intentionally offend any one. ._ Then she set about to contrive some ‘way of retrieving the error, but instead of getting out fell still deeper into the mire. A charity ball was given with tickets at two dollars a head. She purchased two hundred-of these tickets and sent them, with her comfilments, to all who had_ received invitations to the third tea. It was kindly intended, but had an effect opposite to that desired, for those Who received the .compliments felt more like poor relations than ever. Some threw tho ti¢kets-into the fire; others returned them to the lady with indignant or sarcastic notes, saying that while they were not so rich as she they were still able to pay their way to any entertainment they wanted to attend, and were not accepting charity.
