which is peculiarly applicable at the present

The San Francisco Prices Current of the 9th
inst after elicitating its readers upon the recent
rains says:
SIT is impossible to say how many millions of
dollars will be extracted from the earth during the
present week but they will be many"
Now we suppose if the miners of this State dig
one million Of dollars during the time referred to-
all will be accomplished that can be reasonably ex-
pected. 1t should be remembered that one third
Of the mining district is in worse condition in re-
spect to water, than before the storm. Many of
the canals have their in region now COW
cred with from one to three feet of snow, and in
fact are frozen up, furnishing no water at all The
cold weather preventing hundreds from working,
aud throwing hundreds of others out of employ
ment who before the rain were busy digging gold.
We are confident less gold will be taken out du-
ring the succeeding month than in any month pre-
eeeding for year past 1t is better for all parties
that plain facts should be stated Humbug has
Seigned supreme in regard to our mines long
enough. The extract we have quoted is the bald

bankers should circulate such stuff in letter

RANoHING.--The Grass Valley Telegraph says
that it is proposed to form company of twenty
five men for the purpose of taking up and defend
ing twenty-five ranches situated between Massa-
chusetts Hill and Rough and Ready The same
paper says that suit has recently been brought
against five mining companies, for damages done
to a ranch situated near Nevada City.
1t appears that an issue is rapidly being made
in Nevada County between spectators and miners.
1t seems associations of land grabbers are being
formed for the purpose of securing land nearly
worthless for agricultural purposes, in order to
monopolize extensive mines and mining interests.
Hitherto miners have been satisfied to hold small
claims, but now lazy good for nothing scamps turn
their attention to claiming up mineral lands by
sections of l60 acres each, and combine for the
holy purpose of harassing miners with vexatious
law suits. This is new feature in the monopoly
system, and founded upon a late decision OF Judge
Barbour. 1t behooves miners throughout the State
to look sharp at this attempt now being made
They should Immediately hold meetings and de-
nounce the swindling imposition, well as memo
rialize the Legislature for all the safeguards with
in the power of that body. If an ample and spec
DIV check is not offered at once to these land grab
bing operations in the mines let miners immedi-
atey organize and make united and vigorous
effort through all our courts of law for justice, and
to check wholesale encroachments upon their in
terests. Let the principle be firmly established at
once that wherever gold is found the right to
dig it must be admitted and without dispute so far
as agricultural acres are concerned, having due
respect of course for the habtation of every man.
Let this doctrine be promulgated in terms not to
be misunderstood, and if speculators will not re-
gard it, then adopt measures which will be sure to
command respect and the implicit obedience of all
swindlers in mineral land, or relieve this hemis-
phere of their presence.

BENEvoLENcE.-- Dsinterested benevoence has
long been a theme for theological dreamers. A
exactly in point has occurred in California for
which see Collector Hammonds anxiety for''saving
the United States large sum of money" and his
proposition to pay for the Custom House Block ''in
the civil bonds of the State Of California" on
Sept. S, 1854, when Congress had already appro-
priated Sl50,000 in hard cash for this very identi-
cal purpose and the Secretary Of the Treasury had
directed him to go and do it. 1t is great pity
that Governor Bigler nipped the benevolent aspi-
rations of the Collector in his letter of the 7th Sep
tember. Had His Excellency INDUCED Mr.. Ham
mond in his benevolent undertakings, he would no
doubt have paid over the bonds forthwith and they
being at discount the Collector could have added
at least $4,000 to tie pile in the Sub Treasury.
1t is more likely however, that the Collector would
have appropriated the money to the erection of
churches and the support of orphan children.

Council requiring members to dvulge how they
voted under certain pains and penalties "anti-Amer-
lean, anti-Republican, and the most unwarrantabe,
abominable and dangerous assumption of despotic
power attempted in this republic in its con-
