Turner’s residence on Aristocracy Hill, where it was found the other day. One early evening in 1850, while fun was running high in a gambling place down on Main street right where the Unidn Hotel now is, an honest and popular miner named Wallace gotinte a quarrel with a sporting man and the latter shot him inflicting a wound from which Wallace died a few weeks later. As soon as he fired the shot, the gambler dashed out of the saloon, followed 2by a number of indignant miners who swore revenge for the wound given their comrade. He ran up what is now known as Aristocracy Hill, closely ‘followed by the miners who were gone less than one hour and then came straggling back. “How did you succeed?’ asked the barkeeper of one of them. ‘*We found a prospect hole that needed plugging up and we plugged it,” was the answer. _ “You put bim under ground, . did you?’ continued the questioner. ‘Ask some one that was there,’’ replied the cautious miner changing the subject. No one ever found out for sure what happened to the. gambler, but he never showed up again.

Decision ‘That. Should Not Stand—Affairs at the Milton and Bloomfieia Mines—Sleepy Congressmen. We regret véry much to learn from the office of the North Bloomfield and Milton Companies in San Francisco, that orders have been gi ven to the Superintendents drifting work and.discharge all their miners, in compliance with Judge Sawyer’s recent decree, in the contempt case, wherein drifting was the only contempt committed. He so plainly stated that he would not allow any materjal trom any mine or mining ground to be placed in any stream, under penalty of a fine of the value of all that might be taken out, that it seems impossible to continue mining inany way at present. The President of the North Bloomfield Company says that his company will, he thinks, try further experiments by the elevator process, in the hope. that something may yet be done satisfactory to the judge. Butas matters stand now, drifting is under the ban and a crime. Quartz may come next, and yet with these facts staring us in the face our people send delegates to an irrigation convention and take no notice whatever of the eminent peril of our mining interests. A letter from Mr. McKenna, dated May 14, has been received by the Miners Association in answer to a letter from it calling the attention of our members in congress to the infamous rider to the River and Harbor bill,making it a crime to mine for gold in our State. Hesayshe has with Mr. Louttit at last seen the clause, since his attention was called to it, and will try and have it corrected. Mr. Louttit had. evidently ~ not seen it either, nor had any of our members, at least so we must conclude, or they wonld have objected to it in some way, instead of allowing all the miners in ‘California to be classed as criminals, liable to fine and imprisonment. Truly, we have a wide-awake set . of representatives at Washington, and we doubt not that the miners and their friends will bear them rin affectionate remembrance at the next election, if they are candidatés for re-election. tae a oe — Miss Perkins’ Valedictery. Following is a summary of the valedictory essay on the subject of “Character Building’ read by Miss Jennie K. Perkins, of Colfax, at the graduating exercises last week at Snell Seminary, Oakland: We live in a changing world, whose parts are ever being disintegrated and embodied into new forms. Among the agents in this process are the inhabitants of’ this world. All things — build which have life, The constructive power varies; but all living beings are constantly building up their own structures. The higher types of life-not only carry on their own growth, but display further creative power in the construction of dwelling places or store houses. Man. is always building. So, also, he progresses in the mental and moral construction which produces character and methods of life. Individual life is not given to us already constructed; only the bricks and mortar of abilities of opportunities are furnished with which to rear an edifice. The freedom of choice which we possess is like the chisel, sharp on both edges, with which we cancut for good or for evil. What is the most important part of a building? Not the high tower which rears its stateliness aloft, nor the ornamental. porch, but the foundation. Ift hat be unable to bear the superimposed weight, the building falls. How important then that it should be made broad, strong and stable. If we rear the temple of character, invisible but not imperlceptible, striving to. add, woe to us if the foundation of integrity be not firm and the corner stone of ' truth not well established. This veaseless construction of. character is by means of action, works and .thoughts. These actions should be noble; these words wise and kind; most_important of all our building materials, pure-and aspiring, yet molded by: common sense. The care expended on a building is in proportion to_its value. If we wish to make it valuable to ourselves and others, we must pursue a definite aim. Every house must have a plan. What can be-more important than the growth of our own souls? eee Faney Work Matertale. : " Velvets, plushes, ribbosene, arrasene, chenille, etc., just: received at Mrs. Barrett's. _ 1n25-3t ‘Don’r forget that. you _ can buy honey and™ maple syrup by the of both. companies to stop all} these thoughts,. ; PENN VALLEY, . Notes from the @ Garden ie of . Rough and Ready Township. A week ago Friday evening & most successful surprise party wastendered Miss Hattie Martel at her father’s residence in Penn Valley. Dancing and a splendid -eollation were the prominent features of the evening. Another equally enjoyable surprise party was tendered F. W. Stewart at the residence of John Black near Rough and Ready. Mr. Stewart lately arrived from Wisconsin and is stopping here for the benefit of his health. Doves are beginning to make their appearance, but they will not be plentiful for some two weeks, or until all the farmers begin harvesting therr grain. Probably not for years past has the crop of natural grass been so large. It stood from ten to eighteen inches in height all over the hills where it had been protected from stock. Fatmers have har vested a large crop of it with which to feed stock next winter. Clover hay will [probably fall short of the usual harvest. We didn’t hear of a farmer who expected to harvest more than twothirds of the usual yield, probably owing to the late cold spring and extraordinarily hard rainfall which seems to have thinned out the same. Grain crops are quite promising, and the yield should be large. In about ten days harvesting.of all kinds will be under full headway. The acreage under cultivation is in excess of last year. _The cultivation of fruit trees seems to be receiving more attention than in any previous year. Already have the farmers begun to see the value of the same. A rancher has ordered 1,000 two-year. old Bartlett pear trees and 100 cherry trees to set out this season, while two orchards that were set out last. spring promise to prove a great success. About all the trees are growing rapidly. While down around the Pet Hill toll house. there have teen numerous orchards cultivated heretofore, we learn that next year many more fruit trees are to be setout. That the owners intend to make a success of the pains taken in that line. All trees that have been set out are enclosed in burlap wrapped closely around them. to protect them from baking by the sun’s hot rays. In one orchard we noticed straw strewn around the surface ina circular shape some ten or twelve feet in diameter and six ur eight inches In depth. Upon inquiry absortion of the. earth’s moisture by the sun. On the hills around bee trees are quite plentiful. The’ writer was one of a crowd who labored for three hours one bright moonlight night and expected to realize a large supply of honey, but to have seen that crowd returning homeward stung from head to foot, with not to exceed a teaspoonful of honey besides what was eaten, certainly should prove @ warning against all future robbing schemes. Already the subject of campmeeting has _ been . mentioned. subject under corisideration, and are endeavoring to have the two Methodist Churches unite and have a union-camp meeting, which certainly seems the most reasonable, thereby having one large successful gathering.

Quartz may come next, and yet with these facts staring us in the face our people send delegates to an irrigation convention and take no notice whatever of the eminent peril of our mining interests. A letter from Mr. McKenna, dated May 14, has been received by the Miners Association in answer to a letter from it calling the attention of our members in congress to the infamous rider to the River and Harbor bill,making it a crime to mine for gold in our State. Hesayshe has with Mr. Louttit at last seen the clause, since his attention was called to it, and will try and have it corrected. Mr. Louttit had. evidently ~ not seen it either, nor had any of our members, at least so we must conclude, or they wonld have objected to it in some way, instead of allowing all the miners in ‘California to be classed as criminals, liable to fine and imprisonment. Truly, we have a wide-awake set . of representatives at Washington, and we doubt not that the miners and their friends will bear them rin affectionate remembrance at the next election, if they are candidatés for re-election. tae a oe — Miss Perkins’ Valedictery. Following is a summary of the valedictory essay on the subject of “Character Building’ read by Miss Jennie K. Perkins, of Colfax, at the graduating exercises last week at Snell Seminary, Oakland: We live in a changing world, whose parts are ever being disintegrated and embodied into new forms. Among the agents in this process are the inhabitants of’ this world. All things — build which have life, The constructive power varies; but all living beings are constantly building up their own structures. The higher types of life-not only carry on their own growth, but display further creative power in the construction of dwelling places or store houses. Man. is always building. So, also, he progresses in the mental and moral construction which produces character and methods of life. Individual life is not given to us already constructed; only the bricks and mortar of abilities of opportunities are furnished with which to rear an edifice. The freedom of choice which we possess is like the chisel, sharp on both edges, with which we cancut for good or for evil. What is the most important part of a building? Not the high tower which rears its stateliness aloft, nor the ornamental. porch, but the foundation. Ift hat be unable to bear the superimposed weight, the building falls. How important then that it should be made broad, strong and stable. If we rear the temple of character, invisible but not imperlceptible, striving to. add, woe to us if the foundation of integrity be not firm and the corner stone of ' truth not well established. This veaseless construction of. character is by means of action, works and .thoughts. These actions should be noble; these words wise and kind; most_important of all our building materials, pure-and aspiring, yet molded by: common sense. The care expended on a building is in proportion to_its value. If we wish to make it valuable to ourselves and others, we must pursue a definite aim. Every house must have a plan. What can be-more important than the growth of our own souls? eee Faney Work Matertale. : " Velvets, plushes, ribbosene, arrasene, chenille, etc., just: received at Mrs. Barrett's. _ 1n25-3t ‘Don’r forget that. you _ can buy honey and™ maple syrup by the of both. companies to stop all} these thoughts,. ;

PENN VALLEY, . Notes from the @ Garden ie of . Rough and Ready Township. A week ago Friday evening & most successful surprise party wastendered Miss Hattie Martel at her father’s residence in Penn Valley. Dancing and a splendid -eollation were the prominent features of the evening. Another equally enjoyable surprise party was tendered F. W. Stewart at the residence of John Black near Rough and Ready. Mr. Stewart lately arrived from Wisconsin and is stopping here for the benefit of his health. Doves are beginning to make their appearance, but they will not be plentiful for some two weeks, or until all the farmers begin harvesting therr grain. Probably not for years past has the crop of natural grass been so large. It stood from ten to eighteen inches in height all over the hills where it had been protected from stock. Fatmers have har vested a large crop of it with which to feed stock next winter. Clover hay will [probably fall short of the usual harvest. We didn’t hear of a farmer who expected to harvest more than twothirds of the usual yield, probably owing to the late cold spring and extraordinarily hard rainfall which seems to have thinned out the same. Grain crops are quite promising, and the yield should be large. In about ten days harvesting.of all kinds will be under full headway. The acreage under cultivation is in excess of last year. _The cultivation of fruit trees seems to be receiving more attention than in any previous year. Already have the farmers begun to see the value of the same. A rancher has ordered 1,000 two-year. old Bartlett pear trees and 100 cherry trees to set out this season, while two orchards that were set out last. spring promise to prove a great success. About all the trees are growing rapidly. While down around the Pet Hill toll house. there have teen numerous orchards cultivated heretofore, we learn that next year many more fruit trees are to be setout. That the owners intend to make a success of the pains taken in that line. All trees that have been set out are enclosed in burlap wrapped closely around them. to protect them from baking by the sun’s hot rays. In one orchard we noticed straw strewn around the surface ina circular shape some ten or twelve feet in diameter and six ur eight inches In depth. Upon inquiry absortion of the. earth’s moisture by the sun. On the hills around bee trees are quite plentiful. The’ writer was one of a crowd who labored for three hours one bright moonlight night and expected to realize a large supply of honey, but to have seen that crowd returning homeward stung from head to foot, with not to exceed a teaspoonful of honey besides what was eaten, certainly should prove @ warning against all future robbing schemes. Already the subject of campmeeting has _ been . mentioned. subject under corisideration, and are endeavoring to have the two Methodist Churches unite and have a union-camp meeting, which certainly seems the most reasonable, thereby having one large successful gathering.
