presumable that more than one-half of
them pay their license, and we have two
million and ninety thousand dollars per
year which they pay into the Golfers
Golfers, did l say II should have said
into the pockets of the officers, for | see
no other source for it to 90. This leaves,
out of the seven million two hundred
thousand dollars-fve million one hun
dred thousand dollars which leaves our
shores yearly, and finds its way to the
east, and is used for the purpose of en-
riching some nabob.
Then we have from the first of January,
81, up toJanuary SO, $50, 400, 900 taken
from our mines. But the worst is to
come, for our placer mines are fast be-
coming exhausted, and quartz mining
rapidly assuming feature of much i'm
portance, which is in the hands of few;
hence, the man who is willing to work
for his living, is compelled to put his
labor on an equality with Mr. John China

A PLEASANT AFFAIR.-One day last
week, says the Portland (Oregon) Argus
of November Sd, merchant in Gardiner
offered to give a barrel of flour to the
Rev. Charles Blake, the Baptist minister
in that city, provided the young ladies
would haul it for him. To this they con-
sented, and having obtained small pair
of trucks, the -four was placed thereon,
and about forty young ladies took hold of
the ropes and drew the barrel about half
mile, up one of the steepest hills in
Gardiner, to the ministers house. The
Gardiner Band, seeing what was going
on, headed the procession, and played
some excellent music during the haul
There was Il large crowd to witness the
proceedings, and cabinet maker brought
out very handsome rocking chair, which
he fastened to the barrel, and let it 90 as
an additional present to the minister
Those Gardiner girls are full of spunk,
and are not to be put down or bluffed off
very easily.

LETTER FROM ANGELS.
ANGELS, December 23d, Is

ANGELS, december Z3u, 1891.
Messrs. Editors AS [ have got a
little leisure and very laudable DISPOSE
ton to notify and proclaim to the world
through the potent aid of your widely cir
culated journal, the bright visions of pros
perlty, and the energy that confidence
alone can beget, when fortune smiles and
success crowns our efforts, [ will sum-
mon the powers of my "grey goose quill" ,"
and write.
1t Is fixed fact that our quartz miners
are realizing our most sanguine expecta-
tlons. But, though the quartz mines have
proved rich, they ought not to monopolise
all our attention to the exclusion of all
other branches of mining. That there is
large scope of country in this vicinity,
particularly in the neighborhood of the
Cherokee House, which, in more popu
lous camps, would give employment to
thousands } there is no question The
only reason assigned for not working these
diggings, has been the high prices of
water, and now that the water Company
have decided on reducing it to reasona-
bic rates, at last awoke to their own
lnterest-it ought to attract the attention
of those whose capital is not sufficient to
enable them to invest in quartz operations
In most Of the surface diggings around,
miners make from three to five dollars
day, with very little expense. am not
desirous of magnifying the resources of
our mines, as is too commonly the case,
by those who think they are benefited by
the disappointments Of others.
The patriotic letter of "Justice," on
the Chinese question, in one of your pre-
vious numbers, caused some of those who
had employed them, to reflect on its pro-
priety. | believe there is now only one
instance where they still presist in hiring
the "Johns" in preference to white men,
/ would not notice this isolated case, but
as the parties are men of influence, and
for the sake of "the force Of example,"
we would wish they, too, would be inhu-
enced as others have been-when we
think of the happiness it is in the power
of those blessed with the worlds goods to
bestow-by contributing to our social
welfare. Where is the man who has
bestowed thought on the subject, and
contrast it with the philosophy of en-
ploying Cinnamon for an imaginary ben
eft? We will be charitable enough to
suppose they have not given the matter
any consideration-bu those who could
persist from any slight pecuniary gain,
could neither be patriots or philanthro-
pists. Ii.

THE CAPIToL.-The State Capitol is
being thoroughly renovated, says the Sac
ramento Bee. New carpets have been
laid, the walls cleansed, the windows
painted, the doors and ratings painted
and bronzed, the chairs and desks warm
ished, and the paintings Furnished 1t
will, on the first of January, look as
clean and neat, and will be as good as
new. All the offices too are undergoing
repairs. Nothing is being left undone
that ought to be done to make Unacceptable
to the peoples representatives. 1t is a
comfortable place in which to make good
laws and write name that deserves to
live in history. But will either be done?
Let those entitled to seats there endeavor
to accomplish these ends, and the coming
session will be noted from those that have
gone before, by white stone.

This is the largest amount ever shipped

amounts which are hid away where no
human eye can penetrate. The CONNER
cial revulsion, and the sufferings of rela-
tives and friends consequent thereon, has
opened the purse-strings of our people,
and millions have been sent away through
the Golden Gate. For decade, at least,
we shall hear no more about the " giving

lapse of California. 1t stands at the head
of the financial system of the United
States, and nowhere will its supremacy

STRAYED.-From this office, on the
morning of the 10Th inst, one editor
Said editor is decidedly good looking, is
about five feet six inches high, and will
readily be recognized by the initiated, as
man IN search Of rife. Whoever
will return the aforementioned individ-
ual to this office, shall receive our un-
bounded admiration. The only clue we
have of his whereabouts, is the following:
PERSONALLY editor of the San
Andreas Independent, Benz p Kooser,
Esq, whose personal beauty was recogni-
zed by the representatives of the press,
in this city, during the late State Fair,
is sojourning in town, for the purpose, as
we have learned, Of perfecting arrange
ments for life partnership in the house
of Hoops, Crinoine d; Co. We congrat-
ulate him on the laudable determination
he has thus evinced to occupy that posi-
tion in life for which his social qualities
SO eminently fit him.-Stochton Argus
In TowN-B. p. kooser, the good
looking editor of the San Andreas hide
pendent, dropped in upon us yesterday.
Rumor says that in conformity with the
divine precept of "it is not good for man
to be alone" he is about to put a to his
single existence. "Nonc but the brave

Unless the gs2g~ of the dcua displays
itself in the above, the next volume of
the Independent will appear in "minion,"
enlarged and improved without the ex-
pense of new press.

Letter from Fourth Crossing.
FOURTH Crossing, December 22d, IS

FOURTH CROSSING, December 22d, 81.
Editors Independent: Il have now and
then an opportunity Of reading few lines
of the Independent, and have from time
to time noticed some of your correspon-
dents were in favor of expelling the off
spring Of the Celestial Kingdom from and
put stop to their further work in the
mines of California. TO speak the plain
truth, those are my sentiments, and |
will give, in my own, plain, blunt way,
my reasons for so thinking.
In the years Of 80, 81, '52 and SO,
the influx of Chinese emigration was so
great that some of our citizens (not mer-
chants) became very much alarmed for
the future prosperity of the State, and in
SO, if mistake not, your correspondent
held the high and honorable position of
committee man, for the purpose of devils
ing means of getting rid of them. What
was the result? Why, sirs, to use Cal
ifornia phrase, every merchant in the
country were pitching into us rough shod; /;
and why? just because their maws were
so capacious, and their desire for money
so great, that they could not afford to
lose any chance Ono matter how small, } of
making few dollars, and by this means
the miner, (for he it is who feels the
effect of their presence, have been pre-
vented, from time to time, in asserting
their rights and driving them from the
country Now look at California, as she
is, and compare her to what she might
have been, if the proper steps had been
taken in time-for [ believe the time
close at hand when the miners will rise in
their might and drive this great maluns
per Sc from our midst.
| am aware that great number Of the
citizens of California argue that they are
a benefit, inasmuch as they pay tax of
four dollars per head monthly, which goes
a great ways towards keeping up our
State government Let us examine into
that matter a little, and see how it stands.
believe it is allowed that the Chinese
population is about eighty thousand, and
say that they pay the sum of four dollars
each per month, we have the sum of three
hundred and twenty thousand dollars per
month, which, multiplied by twelve, gives
us the handsome little sum of three mill
ion and eight hundred and forty thou
sand dollars, which is no small item, GER
tainly. Now we will look at the other
side a little: as we have eighty thousand
of them, and allow them toaverage twenty
five cents per day to the man, which is
as low as am willing to come, and we
have the sum of twenty thousand dollars
per day extracted from our mines, which,
when multiplied by thirty, the number of
days in month for most of them work
on the Sabbath we have six hundred
thousand dollars, or seven millions and
two hundred thousand dollars yearly ex
tracted from our mines.
Now take the three millions eight hun
dred and forty thousand dollars, the amount
of license tax per annum, and add to
that the sum of two hundred and forty
thousand, for poll tax, and you have the
sum of four million one hundred and
eighty thousand dollars then deduct one
half of that amount, and then perhaps
you will be nearer tho mark, for it is not

LATER FROM OREGON.

The steamer Pacific, Captain Robert
Haley, arrived at San Francisco on the
22d inst. from the Northern Coast. Her
dates from Oregon are to the 18th inst.
Both houses of the Legislature have
organized by the election of the following
officers: President of Council, Hugh d.
OBryant; Chief Clerk, Thomas B. Mi
cav; Assistant Clerk, VIM. L.. White !;
Sergeant-at-A Arms, Shooness; Doorkeeper,
George A. Edes. Ira Z. NJ. Butler is
Speaker of the House.
We learn from passenger by the Pa
clfic that terrible storm was being ex-
perienced along the coast. The Repub-
lie, which left the day previous to the
sailing of the Pacific, found it necessary
to put back.
The death of Ex-Governor John P.
Gains is announced He died suddenly
at his residence in Marin county, ON the
9th inst
California, it appears, is not the only
country annoyed by cattle thieves. A
HILL udIHGu DdFlQ " ANCll Was COHN lCOCQ
recently of this crime in Douglas county,
Oregon, and sentenced to four years in
the penitentiary.
The Portland paper mentions the first
fall of snow at that place this season.
On the mountains to the west, says the
Standard, it fell to the depth of three
and four inches, and seemed inclined to
linger, giving hope to the young bloods of
sleigh-rides, &C., but before night it had
all disappeared.
The same paper also mentions the fol-
lowing results of the storm: During the
storm on Tuesday last, Jackson's Grist
and saw mills, situated on stream run
ming from the west slope of the Portland
mountains, were washed away by the food
and completely destroyed. The miller
and man named Wilks, are reported
to have been drowned. About five
thousand bushels of wheat were in the
grist mill

AN ORIGINAL MINING SUIT.-A novel su;t
has been instituted in Placer county II ;s
styled Placer Diggings u.s. Quartz. The facts
OF the case are, according to the Amercao
that placer miner has sued quartz lode
owner for gold taken from rock lying and rpn-
ming across the placer miners claim. The
decision in this case is an important one as
many similar cases are likely to exist through
the State.
