Owns a Small Bonanxa.

The Monitor mine, in the immediate
vicinity of Three Forks, is proving a
veritable bonanza for its fortunate own
er, George Petty. Shipments have been
made which yielded very handsome
profits, says the Nelson Tribune. This
claim was bonded to t. E. Jefferson, on
behalf of syndicate, but fortunately
for the owner the bond was allowed to
lapse. Petty has recently acquired Il
large interest in several other properties

CITY CONTRACTS.
An Important Case Decided by the
Supreme Court.

An important decision defining the
right of a municipality to enter into
contracts was handed down by the Su
preme Court on Saturday. The San
Diego Flume Company owned water
right and a line of pipe to the limits of
the city Of San Diego, and an agree

Diego Water Company whereby water

Inhabitants of the city.
In 1891 the entire distributing plant
was turned over to Bryant Howard and
others on q contract for a monthly
rental of 50, 166 50. with the provision
that the water company would construct
a certain line of railroad. On the same
day a suitcase was made to the city
Of San Diego.
The city took possession of the water
system and paid several of the monthly
rentals, as agreed upon. Eventually
1T ceased to pay the rental. and about
$4,000 was due and unpaid under the
terms of the contract. 1t was claimed
that the reason why the city could not

FOLSOM NOTES.
The New .SawmiIi Nearing Compile
tion-Activity in Mining.

The Folsom Telegraph of Saturday
contains the following items:
Several new enterprises are contem-
plated for Folsom in the not distant
future.
The old White & Donnelly mine, now
known as the Southern Pacific mine
recently re-opened by a company of
San Francisco capitalists, now runs a
day and night shift. About thirty
men are employed therein, and it is the
intention Of Messrs. Bradshaw and
Laying, who are the managers, to in
crease the working force from time to
time, as the mine develops.
The saw mill is fast nearing COM
pletion. In a very few weeks all the
machinery will be placed and the mill
in active operation, large number of
men put to work, and the town bene-
fitted to a considerable extent. Thus one
by one new enterprises are contem-
plated and started here, and that Fol-
som is improving no one can deny.

MCLOUD RIVER RAILROAD.
Work Has Been Commenced at the
Town Of SiSSOn.
1t Will Open Up Valuable Timber
Forests and Populate That
Section.

The Shasta Democrat" states that
the active commencement of work on
the Sisson and McCloud River railroad
marks the inauguration of a very i'm
portant enterprise. This road starts
from Upton on the California and Ore
gon trunk line just above Sisson, and
the survey runs thence up the spur of
Mt Shasta known as Squaw Mountain
and crosses the divide in the gap be-
tween Sisson, Mott and the Mountain
House and descends into Squaw Valley
About twenty miles of grade takes the
line fairly into the valley, and from
there on to the upper McCloud River is
a comparatively level country, and in
fact there Us but little obstruction to
be encountered in extending the road
on to Bartels at the head of the river.
From Bartels to the head of Fall River
Valley is twenty-five miles by the stage
road and a splendid route for rail-
road.
Fall River Valley reached, there
would be no grading to speak of in
extending the road on to Big NaIley,
Alturas and the lakes country. Such a
road will open up the great McCloud
timber belt, which extends from Squaw
mountain OlNlQS I1ile 1IIiteS HUM Ai7f7OAi
to Fall River Valley, and embraces mill
ions of acres of the finest sugar and
yellow pine and fir in the world.
The advance of this road will lead to
great activity in the manufacture OF
lumber, bring in a large populatlon
and the markets created will be Cod
send to the farmers and producers OF
Fall River, Big Valley and Modoc. The
road will be a standard gauge.
About 200 men will be employed by
the contractor on the first twenty mile
section which will probably be graded
and the ties and rails laid before WIN
ter sets in. In grading, boss Cooley uses
che big traction engine formerly used by
Friday George in hauling lumber
from Suuaw Valley to Mott. To this
engine strong ploughs and scrapers are
attached and earth moved at lively

ing placed the water rates too low to
secure a proper return.
T. J. Higgins and w. Llewellyn, two
taxpayers of the city, brought SUIT
against the city and the persons con-
cerned in the original lease, and the
Superior Court held the contract null
and void.
The water company appealed, and the
Supreme Court is of the opinion that
while the city could not contract to pay
in excess of the tax levy in a single year,
the water company should be entitled
to recover what is reasonably due Tor
the use of the plant, and ordered that
the sums found due be paid out of the
revenues of the fiscal years during
which they accrue

So it appears that silver and wheat
have not kept company. One has been
falling continually, while the other has
been rising and falling.
The farmer did not get less for his
wheat during 1SS892 because OF. the
'crime of 1873" but because of the in
creased production but he got more for
his other crops, and at the same time
was paying less for the goods he bought.
He paid in 1890 $3.50 for the self-bind-
ers which in 1880 cost $500. and sh5 for
the moving machine which in 1880 had
cost 800, and SIS for the steel plow
which in 1880 had cost $28; and so on
through the list of clothing and Of
nearly everything which the farmer
had to buy. In nearly all of those things
prices had been greatly reduced by new
inventions and cheaper processes of
manufacture.
The prices of farm products in 1898
are lower than those Of 1899. but that Is
due to panic which has demoralized
industry panic which was largely
due to the fear of drop to the silver
standard and which the adoption of
that standard would not allay, but in.

obnoxious that some Of its former friends

land said Of it
"It may well excite your wonder that
Democrats are willing to depart from
this, the most democratic Of all tariff
principles, and that the most inconsist.
ent absurdity Of such proposed de.
parture should be emphasized BY the
suggestion that the wool Of the farmer
be put on the free list and the protec.
ton Of tariff taxation be placed around
the iron ore and coal Of corporations and
capitalists"
Tom L. johnson, In his speech in the
house of representatives against the
Wilson bill as amended by the senate,
denounced it because it imposed duty
on sugar and removed the duty from
wool. He said:
"You can not disguise 1t from the
people for the people know it already,
that the purpose Of this sugar tax is to
put millions and millions into the pock-
cts Of men who are already millionaires
by robbing the people"
In opposing the same measure Bourke
Cochran said:
"The iron industry will march to
greater activity under this bill than the
wool industry
But Mr.. Bryan was so bent upon get.
