Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1879-10-26

The City of MarysvIle, California, brought
suit against those engaged in placer and by
draulic mining on the Feather and Yuba
rivers. The matter was heard in the courts
and on motion of plaintiff, injunctions have
been issued against the defendants. Officers
are now engaged in serving the writs en- DIN
ing the defendants from running the taings
into the rivers and their tributaries, and on
some two hundred mining claims work will
in all probability be suspended for fhe Winter
The citizens of Marysvile allege that the
safety of the town is endangered by the i'm
mense quantities of i bris brought down the
rivers from the mines, and the farmers whose
lands are Overhowed by the streams Join
them in suppressIng mining. 1t is remarkable
that in a State whose only wealth some years
ago was supposed to he in its mineral re-
sources, should by legislation endeavor to
suppress mining operations in the principal
gravel mines on the Yuba and Feather
rivers. -Si'per State.
Don't make a mountain out of a mole
Hill. The people of Marysville have suffered
fearfully by the floods, caused by "slickens,"
and are suffering every year from sickness
caused by stagnant sloughs; it is only
rational they should seek redress But be-
fine vineyards and fruit ranches, as well as
the finest agricultural land in the valley,
have been rendered almost worthless; indeed,
except so far AS few patches are leased to
Chinese for gardens, entirely worthless for
crops. Enormous expense has been entailed
on the citizens of Yuba and Suffer and
Yolo, in building levees, and there Fare con-
stantly forming in the Bay, even below
Suisun, bars which will in very short time
obstruct navigation; and all this is the re
suit of hydraulic mining We do not pre-
sumo that it is the WISH of the contestants to
destroy mining, for without that industry
two thirds of the trade of Marysville and
Oroville would be cut off. Their object is,
FIRST, self-protection; their property is Just as
much to them as are those mines to the |
companies which own them, and secondly |
to see if these companies cannot be com
PEELED, by system of engineering, to avert
this destruction Of valuable prop rty; in
most cases the result of hard labor and strict
frugalty. This thing it is believed can be
easily accomplished, and by it, not only
will destruction be averted, but vast Guanti-
ties Of valley land be recla med, for which
not only the waste watar, but the "slickens"
can be utilized

DECoRATING.-Yest morning every
one was decorting. A corps of men
were busy at the Capitol, and business places
along Carson street were being draped with
| flags long before noon, while the streets were
| alive with people going to and fro. The
''sack" was also circulating around to gather
up the contributions of the periodically dis
posed citizens; for 5000 was the estimate of
the committee for needed expenses, which
will probably be easily raised The en-
thusiasm seemed to be very general, though
we heard a few pious sore-heads demur at the
reception, and blame it all on Grant, who
We presume does not care half as much
about it as do some of the committee, who
hope to borrow a few of his rays and at least
can read their names in the papers. We are
CAD to see so much unanimity displayed in
the desire to honor our distinguished guest,
and that there has been no clashing of ideas,
or fault finding among the gentlemen having
the details in charge. Grant is eminentIy
an undemonstrative man, and quiet recep-
ton by the quietest, prettiest town in Nevada,
will probably please him more thau some of
the louder demonstrations which he has
already witnessed.

TT is understood that Henry G. Carey's In
teresting and valuable collection Of American
and English pictures will pass into the posses
sion of the Philadelphia Academy of Fine
Arts.
Mr.. Carey possessed one of the rarest collec-
tions of gems belonging to that city of wealthy
conoisseurs His collection is not large, and
there are no large fashy subjects in it, 1t is
simply Ca binet CT rare gems from the old
masters, and well known artists of England
and America, and is very choice. He had no
gallery proper; his pictures are hung every
where; in sitting rooms, dining rooms, par
lors and hall, in his modest home on Walnut
street. above Eleventh.

A WASHINGTON special says; Senator Hill,
of Georgia passed through here yesterday and
and seemed much annoyed at the dismal pros
pect of the Democracy. He visited New York
in the hope that he would be able to reconcile
the discordant elements of the Democracy,
and his signal failure has discouraged and en-
bltterd him. He is represented as having ex-
pressed himself in very complimentary Ian
guage about the Kelly faction, ahd regards
the loss of New York by the D e mocracy as {"
foregone conclusion.
Now it is great pity that the Democracy
of New Yolk will not be 'reconciled' by Ben
Hill; because the South depends much on
New York that split in the party plays havoc
with their hopes, and we are not surprised
that the blatant Rem is disguised. Go home,
Benny, and be good boy. Wen send for
you when we want our SORROWS healed.

tor Duff, dated Sept. 30th, from Honolulu.
Mr.. Duff objects seriously to the reports pub

back; but does not say a word about the $50,

people up there live in ''glass houses" Of

The Elko Mineral Soap Company is now
shipping about ton of soap day.
Tramps are becoming MI nerous again in the
towns along the Southern Pacific Railroad.
They are going to organize a juvenile OPP
era Troupe in Eureka. Pinafore, of course,
Bodie sporting men are complaining of dull
times. No wonder, with 1903 faro banks in op-
Grafton.
Globe District, Arizona, has organized lit
erary society. Austin has also one, and so
has Battle Mountain, while Carson has only a
Reform Club.
Officer Lane of Elko, is in Eureka, after
Lopez. God save Eureka-from lead fumes.
Lane is splendid detective. Tell them how
you cinch the tramps, John.
"Chinese wash-hou are being built at the
rate of one per week in Bodie. Where's Nose

manipulation needed where that detergent is
used.

this season from tree that stands in his yard.
The tree is fifteen years old, and this is the

the variety been known to produce fruit when
grown in the altitude of Nevada City.
A Eureka coroner, after summoning jury,
and over the corpse swearing the same, re-
marked Gentlemen, if you have any doubts
as to the man being dead, just walk down to
the doctors Office and examine his heart which
has just been removed" The jury with one
accord came to the conclusion without further
evidence that the nan was defunct.

EUaEKA has signfed its intention of meet
ing Grant at Palisade, but Grant cannot tell
when he will be there; in the mean time the
veterans and the citizens stand "ike grey
hounds in the stills" He'll be here to-day,
fellow citizens, and when he has taken in the
Comstock and Reno, and listened to an add
poem by the sweet singer of the Salt
Marsh, lie will not have much time to stop
at Palisade. Ee will be there perhaps by
Thur sday.

where all my kith an kin that have gone
before me an those that live after, be-
longing to me are buried, pace to their
ashes, and may the sod rest lightly over
their bones. Bury me near my god

side of the chapel yard. / lave the bit
of ground containing ten acres-rare

black bonifs. Teddy, my second boy,
that was killed iu the war of Ameriky,

yation is surprised at first sight by the
discrepancies of the answer. Thus, TO
take two extremes, NJ. Mansolas saws
''nearly one-third," Mr.. Truckerman saws
"one.seventh," though it must be remem.
bered that Mr.. Truckerman is WRITING
six years earlier than NJ. Mansolas. The
chief source of such discrepancies is that
the higher estimate include the falows
while the lower exclude them. M. Tom.
basis, who has written specially on
Greek agriculture, is probably safe au.
thority on this point According to
him, one-fourth Of the total area is under
cultivation; but of this nearly one-half
is always fallow. Hence not much more
than one-seventh Of the total area is pro.
ductive at any given time. One-fourth,
therefore, of the territory which might be
cultivated is not under cultivation at all.
But it is satisfactory to learn from NJ
Mansoas that some 100000 acres have
been brought under cultivation within
the last ID years. The population of the
kingdom is about 100000 1t is com.
puted that from onethird to one.fourth
of this population is engaged in agricul-
tural or pastoral pursuits. The increase
since 1880 has been large in all the staple
agricultural products, and in some it has
been remarkable. The cultivation of
olives has increased about three-fold
since 1880; of figs, six-fold; of currants,
fifteen fold; of vines, twenty-eight-fold.
The progress of the currant trade has
been tolerably steady since 1858. M.
Maraitinis puts the area occupied by
currant vines at nearly 10000 acres; NJ.
Mansolas, at even a higher figure The
average yearly production of currants,
before the Greek War of Independence,
was about 100000 pounds weight. 1t
has lately risen to upward of 100000
900 pounds weight. The produce from
arabic land is stated to have increased
30 per cent in the last Is years. Mac
