To Whom Do the Mines belong.

Up to the present time the Supreme Court of
this State, and of the United States, have most
successfully avoided answering these questions:
To whom do the minerals in the public lands
belong, the State or the Federal Government
And to whom do the minerals in the Spanish
grants belong, the State or the grant-owners
These are the important questions a solution of
which the people have for years been anxously
awaiting We are now likely to have our wishes
gratiied, and Spanish grant holders will shortly
know whether they own the minerals in their
lands or not. If they do own them, they should
know it then the miner should know It,
The Butte Record thus speaks of the case:
The most important mining cause ever tried in
Butte county, was recently decided by Judge
Sexton. The name of the case is Moore VS..
Shaw, and the material facts are the following:
Robert B. Moore is the owner in fee, of body
of land opposite the town OF Orovlle on the west
side of Feather river. This land is fit for Moth
ing except mining, and it contains large depos-
its of auriferous gravel, which can be proftably
worked by hydraulic process. He derives title
by mense conveyance from the Mexican Gov
ernment, who granted the land of which the
premises IN controversy are a part, on the 18th
June, 1916, to the brothers Fernandez. The
Grant was confirmed by the Land Commission,
and the 18th of October, 1851 a Patent was
issued by the President of the United States.-
The granting words of the Patent contained no
clause reserying the minerals. In March, 1860,
Shaw the defendant entered upon the land of
plaintiff, and commenced extracting the gold
therefrom. The plaintiff alleges that he took
S400 from the soil. This Shaw does not deny
and sets up that the gold and silver in the lands
of California belong to the State in its sovereign
capacity. He also alleges that the State of CAL
ifornia, as well as the General Government, has
granted license to all citizens of the United
States, to go upon all the lands of the State,
whether public or private, and search for and
appropriate the royal minerals-gold and silver.
For the purposes Of the suit the plaintiff admits
the existence of such license and this reduces
down the controversy to the naked question:
q To whom do the mines Of California belong? ~
To the owner of the soil, as contended for by the
plaintiff; or to the State of California as con-
tended for by the defendant Judge Sexton held
that the ownership of the soil carried with it the
minerals, and from his decision the defendant
has appealed the case to the Supreme Court.

Mob Law in Concord.

+. B. Sanborn, Of Concord; who refused to ap-
pear before the Senate Harpers Ferry Commit
tee, was arrested at his residence, on the Sd
ult., by a Deputy U. S. Marshal and a Deputy
Sergeant alarms of the Senate When placed
in carriage by the officers, for the purpose of
being taken to Washington, he struggled vio-
lently. The members of his family cried MUIR
der, &c. The excitement spread over town
The bells were rung, collecting large crowd of
people. The carriage was broken. Sanborn
was forcibly taken from the officers by the
crowd, until writ of haJeas corpus was issued
by Judge Hoar, of the Supreme Court. After
hearing, Chief Justice Shaw ordered him dis
charged, upon the ground that the Sergeant-at-
Arms could not deputize his authority.
On Sanborns return to Concord he was met
with shouts which rent the air. Cannons were
fred the United States officer was hissed pub
lie meetings were held resolutions were adopt
ed and speeches made and the officers were ta-
ken before Justice Ball, who held them to bail
for their appearance.
When the officers of the law attempt to arrest
a resident of Concord who, it is thought, en-
couraged John Brown to go to Virginia and mur-
der her citizens-the citizens thereof take him
forcibly from their custody. The same parties
no doubt, who would not even permit one o.
| their citizens to be taken to Washington as q
witness, say they are good law-abiding citizens
lovers of the Union, and that Virginia committed
a high crime in hanging John Brown for the
murder Of Virginians.

ANOTHER MoNoPoLY. = The Benson Water
Company has, it is said, secured the privilege
of supplying the city of San Francisco with wa
ter, for many years, from the only source from
which the city can ever be supplied with suf-
ficiency of that indispensable liquid. If this be
so, then Gov. Downey has permitted monopoly
to be created in the city of San Francisco of a
character infinitely worse than a thousand Par
sons Bulkhead Bills condensed into one And
yet, strange to say, while the papers of that city
have howled like demons over the enormities of
the Bulkhead Bill, they have, with one excep-
ton, not said word against the Benson water
monopoly In view OF these facts, is it strange
that men in the country doubt the honesty of
the press of San Francisco? The veriest fool
must be able to perceive that bill giving a
company a monopoly of the sale of water in that
city, is a thousand times worse than one which
simply places the citys water front under the
control of one man company.

Paragraphs for the Farmers.

THE STRAwBERRY.-Selecta a warm, moist but
exposed situation. The soil should be fine
loan. Avoid high, barren soils, and those
which are wet. To prepare the soil, make it
clean; underdrain, leaving the drain open at
both ends to allow the circulation of air. Pull
verize for depth of two feet. For manures,
apply 80 bushels of unleached ashes and IL
bushels of lime, slaked with water holding
bushels of salt in solution to the acre. Trans
planting should be done with great care and the
rootets of the plant injured little possible.
The best time to transplant is in Spring. though
with care it may be done any time during the
Summer. Place the plants three feet apart each
way Give but little water during Towering
season. and at no time allow stagnant water on
the beds The hoe should never be used about
the plants, as it Injuries the roots. The Straw
berry may be made ever-bearing by entirely
preventing the growing of runners. This may
be done by planting in soil composed of three
quarters river-sand and one-quarter wood
mould. This dwarfs the plant, but makes il
everbearing.
OTHER BERRIEs.-The Raspberry needs high
manuring, and so does the blackberry. The
Currant cannot be too highly manured. Those
who cultivate only the red or white Dutch Cur
rant, do not know what a good currant is The
best kind grow to a diameter of five-eights of
superior in size. The following are the best
varieties of Currant La Versailles, White Con-
quoin, an Sargent White Province
To SAVE PLUMs.-To save pums from the
Curculio, cast through the tree two or three
handfuls of ir-slaked lime, twice week, (se-
lecting a still, calm night for it, commencing
at the time the plums setting, and continu-
ing for two or three weeks.
DEPTH FOR PLANTING POTATOES NJ Carr
of Lafayette, Indiana, relates, in the Ohio Guilt
yator, an experiment on this subject: He was
stopping with friend whom he found planting
potatoes, covering lightly say two or three
inches deep, and advised deeper covering His
friend thought not, but allowed him to cover a
row his own way. He picked out the largest
potatoes, and dropped row, covering six to
eight inches deep. This did not come up
soon the others, but their superiority was
manifest throughout, and they kept ahead dur
ing the season, at digging time yielding two or
three times as much any other row.
BLOODY MURRAIY.-To cure this disease, so
destructive to cattle, first give dose of salt
petre and epson salts desolved in chamber ley
about q tablespoonful of saltpetre and two of
the salts. In about three hours give handful
of table-salt mixed with sulpher; in three hours,
another dose as the first. This, in nearly
all cases, will effect cure.

Spurious Liquors, Wines and elders

If there are any persons in this county who
have heretofore been engaged in the manufac-
ture OF spurious liquors, wines and elders,
advise them to stop the business instanter.-
There is now a law upon the statute book which
provides that the maker or vender of such arti-
cles SHALL upon conviction thereof, before any
Court of competent jurisdiction, be fined for
each offence, in any sum not less than twenty
five dollars, nor more than five hundred dollars,
to which shall be added the same fees and costs
as are taxed and allowed in other criminal
cases and further, that, if the party convicted
fail to pay the fine imposed he shall be impris-
oned in the county JAIL at the rate of 81 day.
until the amount of the fine is covered such
Imprisonment, however, not to last longer than
six months. The second section we give entire:
Upon affidavit being made before any Justice
of the Peace that the party making such affida-
Wit has reason to believe that adulterated aco-
| hoic or spirtuous liquors, wines, cider, beer or
other liquid used as beverage, are being i'm
ported, manufactured sold, as described in
the first section of this Act an order shall be
issued authorizing the seizure by any officer or
by the State Gauger, and it is hereby made their
| duty to seize any amount not exceeding one
gallon of the liquor or other liquid, as afore-
said, for the purpose of testing the same, and
the testimony of any competent chemist or ex-
aminer shall be received in any trial arising un-
der the provisions of this Act.
The third section provides that no man con-
| victed of the above named offence shall ever
import, sell, or dispose of liquors, wines or cider
again in this State, and no license shall be is

An INTERESTING Dissemination the Au-
burn Herald and other papers We learn that
large cave has lately been discovered near
Whisky Bar, in Ell Dorado county. 1t appears
that Mr.. Vim. Gwynn, of Auburn, has been en-
gagged for some time in opening fine marble
quarry at that place, and the 7th inst. some
workmen, who were getting out marble sat s,
broke through into cave of unknown extent.
Upon entering with lights, they found a room
more than hundred feet in length, about twen-
ty-fve feet in width, with lofty ceiling from
which depended countless stalacttes that in
their brilancy rivaled the effulgence of da-
monds Further exploration demonstrated the
existence of another chamber in which was a
pool of water, and through another small pas
sage way, barely large enough for man to
creep, third chamber was found, that is thought
to be larger than either OF the others, but had
not been fully explored at the latest accounts
Specimens of the stalacttes and staagmites
taken from the cave, are represented as curios-
tiles, bat they are seen to the best advantage
only in the caves, where they appear in gor-
geous beauty while rejecting the light thrown
upon them by the explorer. 1t is the intention
of Mr.. Gwynn to preserve the caves from spoil
alton, but he will open them so as to be easy of
access to visitors. The cavern has already been
penetrated distance of three hundred and fifty
feet, but at present the accumulation Of mud
upon the floors is serious Inconvenience TO
pleasure seekers.-Neuada Democrat

MARRYING DIGGER SQUAws.-There has been
a considerable futter among the men of Hum
boldt county who live with squaws, about CIV
ing up their " ladye-loves" to be taken to the
reservations. The squaws will have to leave
unless their waugies" (lords and masters
marry them. So fate and the laws decree A
short time ago, Mr. Duncan, of Eel river, who
has been for several years lodging under the
pine trees and wandering from place to place
with loving squaw, whom he purchased of her
relatives for a sack of flour, went with her be-
fore Justice Simonton, of Bucksfoot township,
and joined hands with her in the holy bonds of
wedock. The bride" looked as though she
didn't exactly know what was going on, but
thought 1t was something very good. We saw.
during our early wanderings in the mountains
of California, very beautiful Digger squaw-
large, lustrous eyes; rich, luxuriant hair; small
hands and feet exquistey moulded form;
small, ruby, pouting mouth rich color and as
careless of her wild and unframed beauties as
You might suppose such simple and untutored
being would be-but she is the only really hand
some Digger squaw that we ever did see, and we
have seen many. The great majority of them
are ugly balloons. This one was the wife
of a "highly respectable" young Digger, who
packed game for our party when we hunted or
otherwise served us. We think that certain
reckless adjuncts of the party would have killed
him, in order to possess his wife, lad we not in
terfered to prevent it. At aGy rate, they did
not and the pair may now be living on one of
the reservations. In view however, of the
class OF white men freqnentng those regions
the Digger husband did well if he hid himself
and his dusky beauty in the inmost recesses of
the wilderness.-Wdrys1iHe Democrat.

The End of All.

Wandering along a waste
Where once city stood,
| saw a ruined tomb,
And in that tomb an urn,-
A sacred funeral-urn,
Without name or date,
And in its hollow depths
A little human Dust
Whose dust is this, | asked,
In this forgotten urn?
And where this waste now lies
What city rose of old?
None knows its name is lost;
1t was, and is no more;
Gone like wind that blew
A thousand years agol
Its melancholy end
Will be the end of all
For, as it passed away,
The universe will pass!
Its sole memorial
Some ruined world, like ours;
A solitary urn,
Full of the dust of menl
