The District Attorney is allowed a
salary of $500 per year, and greatly reduced fees as follows: Conviction of
capital crime $25, other felony $12,
conviction of misdemeanor $8, eight
per cent. on bonds; convictions under the
anti-gambling act, $50; and 10 per cent.
— -and 15 per cent. after judgment
in collection of taxes. If the salary
and fees exceed $2,000 in any one year,
the surplus must be paid over to the
county.
The salary of County Judge is fixed
at $2,000per annum, but as this provision is in conflict with the constitu. tion, preventing the increase or decrease
of salaries of judicial officers during
their term, it will fiot take effect until
another Coanty Judge is elected and
qualified.
The Sheriff is allowed. mileage,which
is in all cases retained for his own use
and benefit. In this county he is allowed fees and commissions to the
amount of $4,000, ia full for services of
himself and deputies.

MINING ON THE RIDeE.—The Grass
Valley Union contains letter in relation to mining on the Ridge,from which
we condense the following: The North
Bloomfield Gravel Mining Company
will soon extend their ditch to Big
Canon Creek, when they expect to secure a continuous supply of water
during the Summer, In their claims
eight pipes are kopt at work day and
night.
The Public School Exhibition at
Bloomfield is to be repeated in a: short
time.
Several companies at Relief Hill are
obtaining first rate pay, and the claims
worked by the Eureka Lake Company
are yielding handsomely,
At Eureka mining prospects are encouraging. The Erie Company has
suspended work on account of water in
the shaft, and propose putting in a
larger pump. The Birchville mill is
running and paying well from rock of
this mine.
Black & Young are crushing Bareberry & Stacy rock, which has = well
from the first run.
The Norfolk Shaft Company is going
to put up heavier machinery to clear
their mine.
Graniteville has two hotels, five
saloons, two stores and a working population,
The Bloomfield Gravel Mining Company have purchased Bowman’s ranch,
and propose to erect adam in the vieinity this Summer.
Rich Dieaines.—A new and very
rich discovery has been made on Scadden Fiat, which reminds one of the
palmy days of “the Fall of ’49 and
Spring of 50.” A ledge of decomposed
quartz has been found, says the Grass
ational, which in the forcible
‘hynguage of our informant, Thomas
Stadden, “is perfectly lousy with gold.”
The ledge is from four to eight inches
in width, The dirt around the rock
prospects from 50 cents to $1 50 to the
pan. Many a thousand dollars have
been taken from Scadden Flat in past
years, but there is more there yet. We
congratulate the Scadden brothers on
their good luck.John Rayuolds was injured ;

John S. Lambert, Secretary of the company, that inthe North Star mine very

The ledge is two anda half feet thick,
and is very rich in free gold; galena,

improvements at Oakland, if, indeed,
they do not extend the Marysville road

bet of $1,000 pending on the result of
Mr. Fred. Currier’s trip to California on
a velocipede—one of the parties to the
wager claiming that it is impossible to
cross Scott Mountain with a velocipede
on account of the steepness of the grade.
The party thinks it can be done, and,
what is more, backs the opinion with
the coin, We await the result with
some interest, as it will in a measure,
demonstrate to what extent the velocipede can be used asa practical means
-of locomotion. :

THe James River and Kanawha
Canal for which.Congressional aid is
asked, promises, according toa Virginia
editor, ‘*to do more for the future of the
United States than any other wok of
—_ t the Pacific Railroad.” Two
red miles of the canal are finished
an half the entire distance. When
completed it will form the highway for
the transportation of ten times as much
bulky Western freight to the Atlantic
as now reaches: the ocean, via the New
York and Erie Canal. Hundreds of
navigable Western: rivers will pour
their freight into it at all seasons of the
year. The State of Virginia being unable to finish the canal, proposes to give
the entire work, half constructed, to
any company that will complete it.
’Tis wondrous strange how great

then I had beaux and billet-deaux, and
joined the gayest scenes. But lovers now

if the night was ever so bright, I ne'er
abroad could roam,without—“the bliss,
the honor, miss, ‘of seoing “you sufe

and snow, fatigued and scarce alive,
through all the dark, without a spark,
because I’m thirty-five.
