More Shot-gun Argument.
On Saturday dJast Jacob Miller
went to the house of August Adnet,
son Rush creek, near Indian Flat, and . j¢,
fired at him with a shot-gun, Oue
shot entered Adnot’s lip, and the remainder missed him. Miller is stated
.to have then reloaded and chased his
victim about the ranch for thé pur_pose of ‘getting another . oportunity
A large number of citizens , assem.
bled at the Theatre Saturday evening to hear the reportof the Committee of Eleven.
The meeting was called to order .
by Hon. Niles Seals, the regular:
Chairman, who stated %

of the young. to say whether this

great extent. Mr. Preston's remarks
were botir eloquent 40d conyincing.
The resolutions-were unanimously
carried.
In adjourning the snasting, Judge

sonal Mention.
I. M. Holcomb, M. Ford and Albert Curtis, thee g ntlemen who
it will be remembered came here
from New Jersey a Month since with
a view-of examiaing the miming re© gources of the district, aty still among
us. They are obtaining much valuable information regarding he Various properties, visiting the \mines
and claims for themselves instead of
velying upon mere report to gov
their —opinions. They are-much
pleased with the prospects here, and
‘their conclusions wall ‘doubtless be
of great benefit to the community,
not only because they will invest
some of theirown -capital, but will
bring their influence to’ bear in get.
ting other patties i in the East to do
likewise. “They are firm friends to
legitimate mining enterprises, and it
is such men the community wants.
“Whe Deadly Pistol.

Shaft in Bloomfield townsni Pete
Maloney shot a man named Frank
Conners, and it is believed the result
will be fatal. The reports of the af-.
fray that have been brought down
are rather confused, but from careful enquiry ‘we learn that Conners
had for some time been spoiling for
a fight. Hehad some words with.
Maloney, who is a sporting man,
about a gamo, and: was warned ‘several times to go away. He persisted in dogging him, when finally Maloney drew a pistol and shot him
twice, one ball taking effect in his

The Grass Valley Union's Iusult.
In stigmatizing as members of
*‘Peep ng Tom committees” the gen-"
tlemen engaged in removing Chinatown and houses of ill fame to more
sovladed portions of this city than
they have occupied heretofore, the
Grass Valley Union displays a degree of ‘‘wit” that is fully ‘* appreciated” by the respectable element of our town. Such an insult
to the Committee only goes to show
what wie of a *hair-pin” that eitor is.

-or doany trifling.
Tf.all peaceable ‘measures to adjust
. the difiiculty are exhausted, we may
find it necessray to determine upon a)
change of tactics. In th® latter .
only ask that the citizens bear them
out in what they sze fit to do. The .
Chinese lawyer from San Francisco :
will be spoken to when he arrives, .
and it is likely a Satisfactory ar: .
rangement can be made. The money —
necessary to carry out the plan will
mostly come from a few. men able to.
staud the expense. You may rely
aire it that the Chinese will have to
go.” Mr. Cross “stated that officer .
Wm. Scott was one of the few white .
men who stood-at the back _of the .
{ongolians,

r. Scott asked leave to reply, .
and the meeting granted it. He said .
it was

their people to Abey the demand of

side svery time.
Mr. Cross—/‘Will youstand in
and use your influence to indyce the
Chinese to femove to a reasonable
site?”
Mr, Scott—‘'Y es, sir.”
Mr. Cross—“Then I.niove that
Mr, Scott’s name be added to the
sub-committes on Sites.”
The motion was seconded and carried unanimously.
Mr. Scott said that some means
should be devised to prevent the
Chinese from settling around in various parts of the city, as they would
probably attempt to do when they
found they could not rebuil2 in the
burnt district. :
L. Nihei, chairman of the subcommittee appointed: to ascertain
the price of lands in the burnt district, made the report given in these
columns Sunday. ‘I believe” said
he, ‘“‘if all Jother reasonable means.
fail, that it wil. be necessary for ws.
to rise up and say ‘to the Chinese,
‘We will not have you ia our midst,
and you must go eut.*”
Geo. F. Jacobs reported for the
sub-committee appointed to purchase
a site, saying the Chinese would do
nothing till taeir lawyer arrived.
The Committee of Eleven was given one week further. ‘to. report, in
case the Chinese did not attempt to
rebuild before that time. If any
cabins are statted this week, a meéting will be cafled immiediately and
some summary meaus of provention
adopted.
_ Street Commissioner Casper in reply toan inquiry said the Trustees
proposed to put the new street thro’
from Broad to Pine only in event
{that Chinatown was not rebuilt,
’ "The resolutions regarding the expulsion of houses of ill fame from
Broa! and Pine street, as. published
Sunday, were read.
In reference to them E. M. Preston, member of the City Board of
Exlucation, stated thatthe committee
vented from. — out_their~ programme, F;
The American Mining Songany
at San Juan has justcompleteda run
resulting more fav orably than ‘usual,
and they have developed sotne very
'good gravel for future operations.
The Superintendent will be delayed
somewhat in making the next run,
as the Company are making some
important changes in their hydraul-,
ic appliances which will improve the

main pipe some five or six hundred
feet. \When these improvements are
completed they will have one of the
best arranged hydraulic mites on
this coast. They have extended
. their deep bed rock tunnel. about
near the
present faceof the claims. This
. shaft has a depth of 100 feet in bed
rock.
Mr. McMurray, Superintendent of
ty, arrived in San Juana few days
since with between $30, 000 and $40,090 worth of bullion. No longer
ago than the 24th of last May the
company also reulized-from its mines
the sum of $25,000 after a shortrun.
These mines are among the best in
the State. The company is realizing
handsomely from their property in
this county. Mr. McMurray is mak‘tne strenuous exertions to open up
the Boston Revine mine at~ Moore’s
