FOREIGN Miners LICESsE-Dr. Stone, tax
collector of Yuba county, in reply to an article
in the RECORD Of last week, in regard TO bis
official report, attempts to make it appear that
we intended to miSrepresent him, and that he
bad in all only collected $4,000. We did not
10 so, neither did we refer to the total amount
Of Foreign Miners License collected, which he
shows to amount in all to Sl-,l56. We had
only reference to the County Auditors report
and the county's proportion of said licenses.
Of course, we did not go on to state the total
amount, the 20 per cent. allowed for collection,
and then that the balance was equally divided
pChhNtb ttiS CNaAC abu ht tpth tue
county's proportion, as published, at $4,000,
and his corrected statement now only shows
S6,S62 40. As to who had been altering
dates to licenses" the guilty party we don't
know, but have examined qnite a number of
he licenses with dates changed. We think
might be obtained that would lead
to the detection of the guilty one, by making
the proper effort.
Since the above was in type, A. D. Stewart,
Deputy Collector of Yuba, makes wholesale
charge of malicious falsehood" against US in
the Appeal, and says, If any person will obtain
irregular licenses issued by him, be will pay
the expenses of obtaining them. We have
since examined the Yuba county licenses, and /
ind some of them dated and sold 10 December,
GA, aDo redsted and resold 10 January. '65, /
two Of which have been forwarded TO DR.. |
Stone, and there are plenty more on hands in
the Sheriff 5 Office for the inspection of any one
who wishes TO take the trouble to do So As
we never charged DR.. Stone or Stewart with .

fact that there had been such issued, We can't .
see the point in this wholesale charge of ma
hcious talsehOod. Ii would have looked better
10 have ferreted out the facts or the guilty
party, and SO stated it, than 10 have commenced
a public abuse Of US.
