By ite provisions such per~ sons may be. subject to loss and inconthey are in no way ‘responsible. -Beetion ist of the law provies that. “every mechanic, artisan, machinist, beilder, . contractor, lumber merchant, laborer and other person performing labor apon or furnishing materials of any kind to be used in the construction, alteration, or repair, either in whole or in part, of chinery, railroad, wagon road, aqueduet to create hydraulic power for mining or other purposes, or any other structure or superstructure, or who. shall perform labor in any mining for the work or labor done or materials recs gidin amedemacts anctonvoegte provement, or his agent; and every contractor, sub-contractor, architect, builder, or other person having charge of any mining, or of the construction, alteration or repair, either in whole or ini path, of ony building or other im-fto Meadow Lake, but gave oat and was WA shall be held to}. ay the Oth fhstARB: V Lake and perished in aoe. ae pears he started on foot from Cisco to go found frozen-to death.

Meadow Lake was a most unfortunate . camp for him ; first he lost five or six thoasand dollars by baying property at last lost his life in trying to reach the place and his family. From Yoxonama.—Marks Gold, of the firm of B. Gad & Co, of Grass Valley, returned to that place a few days ago, and gives the National a very interesting account of Yokohama, from which we take the following: “There is one retail grocery store in Yokohama and that is kept by Simon Mayers, who -was.once in the boot and shoe basiness in this place and Nevadacity. He is doing 9 good business aud is going to “Californiaize his house, and give it an} open front. ina few days three of the Japs who came over with Mr. Gold will visit Grass Valley to take a look at our mines, Mr. Gold will return to Yokonently locate in reese ing « tunnel, is and this responsibility is not even limited by the amount of the contract.

The only course for those who build houses, work the mines orare engaged in any business, is to require a bond of every contractor in a sufficient sum to cover all expenses for wages or material, or to withhold a certain part of the contract price in order to protect themselves against claims that may be brought against them un der the law. The-law places no check. upon the parties which it makes the held responsible for the bad manage mentor rascality of any man who is employed by them under contract. Pivrisus Uxom.—c. B.
