A Lively Foreman at the Justice.

Yesterday miner went into the
Justice hosting works seeking en-
ployment. The door of the foreman's
office stood ajar and he politely asked
Mr.. DAVIS if there was any chance for
u job. DAVIS only reply was, sect
out # here, you s. of n b-!" The
miner then left the office and stood
for short time near the shaft, when
Mr.. DAVIS came out of the Office and
told him to get out, and "all the rest
of you SIS of BIS get out Of here"
there being several other miners about
the works. The miner reminded
DAVIS that he was not Chinaman,
and the fact that he (Daws) drew a
dollar a day more than a miner did
not warrant him in abusing quiet
men. DAVIS then went to his office
and returned with an English bull
dog pistol and placing it at the
miners breast again, in abusive lam
guage, ordered him and the Others
present to leave, which they did.
DAVIS ought to procure one of the
new Gatling guns that FIRE 800 to II
900 shots per minute.

More About the Mateo Affair.

We learn that Mateo, since the
withdrawal of his complaints
against his wife and Mereana in
Justice Hickey's Court the other
day, gave his wife 81 $50 with the
understanding that she and Mere
ana, who had some some kind of a
partnership claim in the ranch or
crops, should go away and leave
him in undisputed possession. TIE
family consists Of three boys. the
oldest about eight, who remain on
the ranch with their father. 1t is
said that Mrs. Mateo. before her
marriage, used to beg on the Com.
stock, aud furnished Mateo all the
money to buy the ranch. As mat
ters now stand, NJ ,teo is monarch
of all he surveys, having neither
wife nor partner.

WOOD DRIVING.
Some Information About the
Business.

Mr.. Isaac Cohen, the oldest resi-
dent of those now living IN Dayton,
came up to the commercial metropo-
lis the other day and dropped in to
pay his respects to The TIMES. He
gave US some Information about the
wood business, which we shall at
tempt to report to our readers. The
drive that passed the Eureka mill
about week ago has not all reached
Dayton, but is being worked along, u
little rise of water, from closing irri
eating bitches or other causes, assist
ing operations somewhat. II it is
found practicable more wood will he
driven down from Empire.
the work of taking the wood out
of the river aud ranking it up is go
ing forward briskly. Three car
tracks are laid at Dayton from the
switch near the water, and the outer
end of these tracks is about 25 Oh 80
rods from the landing place. There
is also one track at the island. Tie
tracks are located 50 as to admit the
piling of about four tiers of wood
and when this space is filled they
are moved like distance. The wood
is piled six feet high. The men
men who work in the water and load
the wood receive 81 per day. China
men are employed TO tip the loaded
cars and pile up the wood, and they
are paid $3.50 per day. Boys are
paid $3.50 day to drive cars and
help drive tue wood.
Sam Longerbau.,h is Superinten
dent Of all .ne driving on tue river,
and kali'on q Likins have the con
tract of taking out all the wood be-
low Empire. They have already
taken out between three and four
til 'usand cords at Sutro, part OF
which Will be hauled to the mills In
Six-miie canyon. Our informant did
not know how much has been taken
out al Dayton.
Several different companies put
wood into the river, aud after it is
taken out the shortage is ascertained
aad the wood equitably divided. The
shortage is expected to he about
eight cords In one hundred. In for
mer years good deal # round wood
was put in, and the shortage some
times amounted to twelve per cent.

Back Tax History.

Under the law, prior to 1875, the
mines of Storey county paid only
twenty-five cents on each one hun
dred dollars worth OF bullion ex-
tracted, for local purposes. At that
session Of the Legislature the law was
SO amended as to tax bullion in
Storey up to the same figures levied
on all ether property for State,
municipal and railroad purposes.
And right here is where all the rum.
pus about the tax on bullion started.
Sharon, Jones, ct al, while they con-
trolled producing mines, had been
getting off for the nominal sum of
twenty. five cents on the one hundred
dollars. When the law was changed
to admit of II levy of from three to
four per cent, the bonanz S squirmed
and protested that they were not get
ing square deal. Sharon did not
contribute a dime from the prodnct
of his mines toward the redemption
of the Virginia & Truckee railroad
bonds, which he himself owned, aud
the road as veil. AID so it came to
pass that, when the Assessor called
upon the owners Of the present pro-
ductive mines to assist in the iquida-
ton of those bonds, in addition TO all
the other increased per centages des-
ignated above, they felt that gross
injustice was being done them, that
they were not being treated as other
mine owners before them had been
treated, and they refused to pay any
tax whatever, and went to the courts
for an equitable adjustment of the
question. This is the true history of
all the hubbub that has since grown
out of the subject Of a tax on bullion.

THE GRANGERN, WANTS.

The convention of grangers recently
assembled in San Francisco, adopted
the following preamble and resolG-
tons:
Whereas, Under the present State
Constitution taxation is unequal, and
an undue part of the burden of sup
porting the State Government falls
upon those least able to bear it; and
Whereas, The evil complained Of
can be remedied only by such
changes in the constitutional conven-
ton; therefore
Resolved, That we will vote for
and use our inf1ue zee to induce others

tion.

thorizcs, or is supposed to authorize
the taxing of growing crops, should
be repe ,led.

of legislation, we recommend the
taxing of the shares of national banks.
Resolved, That all State and Ma
tionai Legislation which depreciates
any kind of circulating medium is
sued or coined Ivy the United States,

all our currencies, should be made 1t
one measure of value and one Pur-
chasing power.
Resolved, That more stringent
law should be passed, requiring as
SCISSORS to fix the same amount of as
sessment ON uncultivated as upon

capacity.
Resolved, That the law governing
the county boards of equalization be
so amended as to compel them to
equalize the assessments on lands of
the same quality upon complaint and
proper showing of any person feeling
aggrieved.

such legislation as will restrict
charges for fares and freights by
railroad and other corporations and
individuals engaged in public trans
portatlou to fair compensation for
the capital employed.
| Resolved, That we favor such leg
islation as will prevent discrimina-
ton in favor or against persons and
