Ware and E. ~J.-Robbins, will apply to the Board of Supervisors for a toll-road to Meadow Lake.; We would ask these gentlemen if it is a new road that they propose building, or if they merely‘intend to repair the old tollround. Inthe palmy days of Meadow Lake, a broad, beautiful toll-road extended from Webber to Meadow Lake. Leng years ago it was abandoed, but with a little repairing would be in a most excellent condition. This road is Truckee’s only hope. The Supervisors should declave it condemned to the county on] azcount of its long distsé and abandonment. Cisco isa close competitor for the Meadow Lake trade, butwith this splendid road in good, repair, and tree, Truckee can control thefreighting. If Messrs. Ware and Robbins propose making a new road, differing in its location from the eld road, yery well. Tf, however, they wish the right to collect tells on thesplenaid road already built, We protest that it is‘ Truckee’sduty to oppose them. <A petition to the Board of Supervisers setting forth that a toll rout existed, was abandoned, belongs vightfully to the county, and could be maintained at a mere nominal expense, would cause the Board to declare the road forfeited. Truckee will then, have the best road, and can certainly draw the trade.of the new mines this way.

One of the other gentlemen “who . ¥ were in the mine with Osbiston, had four assays made, two from each point ritentioned by Mr. QO. Those from the center of the face gave $211 85 and $280 72, while those from the point 24 ‘feet. back from the face, on -the floor, were 83585 and $96 40. It appears that when these visiters were itt the mine, the whole face of the crosscut was.not.excavated clear “down to the bottom. ‘The last blast had a self rising about 2 or 3 feet above the floor of the cfosscut and extending back 2 or 3 feet. Superintondent -Jones, of the Crown Point, got into the. mine at about noon to-day. He described the appearatée of things very much as did the earlier visitors, éxcept that while he was there the miners were putting in half a dozen blasts in the face of the erossctit, and—after’ they were fired there would be ‘something new to gaze upon. “At half past 2° o’elock came. the news of San Francisco street trans: actions after the Board. ‘‘Sierra Nevada down to 48?” was the bloodchilling news. At this hour’ it was reported that Mr. Skae had telegraphed below that the 2200 crosscut had been advanced into. better and: richer ore. Shortly afterward the price advanced to 55, ee KIND WORDS.

GOOD LOOKING LEDGE. Messrs Ragan and Jamieson, who are prospecting a ledge on Water Ldhedat knaven as the City Belle, in the rear of Gillet’s nursery are now rock from their claim.'

The Coroner took charge of the remains, and/articles found in his pockets, consisting of a watch, knife and some keys. The body was removed to the residence of deceased on San Francisco street and a C orovier’s jury caHed for 11-0 clock.’ -From testimony taken, yah the inquest’it appears that tnangy last seem \alive by Mrs. Potter and“ his step‘daughter. Elizabeth Busch, at half past 6 o’clogk on Wednesday evening. A short time afterward Miss Busch thotght she heard a noise in the rear of Mrs. Potter's residence. The supposition © is that deceased “went acros the street from his. own residence and round the rear of Potter’s lot (which is quite close to the San Juan diggings). Complaints having been made to. him that Chinamen were in the habit of stealing fruit and wood, and while trying to 4 where his’ daughter lived, he acc’dentally walked over the embankment and was instantly killed. Two boys sons of Mr, Evans, were the first to find the remains uext morning on the bedrock, at the bottem of the embankment. The jary found that death was caused by accidentally falling over an embankment 150 . ¢ Deceased was a native of Vestphalia, Prussia, and 61 years of age. He was a widow er, his wife being dead many years. He died posessed of considerable means, leaving awillin which he bequestheil all his earthly property ‘to his step-, daughter, Elizabeth Busch. He was those who knew him best, his sudden death is keenly felt. Deceased was an old Californian. He came tp this State during the gold excitement of *49, and followed for many years the ups and downs of a miner’s life. _2--s —HOW THEY Go.The Truckee Republican says the fire déns are being vacated. The Chinese are removing across the river: Not an hour passes buta string of Chinamen can be seen winding their way across the plaza with furniture and household goods, This furniture is invariably of theZpoorest, cheapest description. Old cans compose, generally the outfit of the cufsine department. Cans that are black with soot, and greasy, and . filthy looking. Small articles are bundled together in mats. As for clothing and bedding the flre attended to most of that. They are as woe-begone afd desolate a looking set of creatures as you ever laid eyes upon. They are miserably poor and destitute, and some dre near the verge of starvation. The Safety Committee offer to furnish them rations of rice if they -will move across the, river, and they are moving. Poor devils, it makes oné’s heart ache to see how little they have to move. The fire swept almost everything. Watching the irregular prosession; you see old ragged men and forlorn wonien hobbling along as decrepit and sorrowful looking as if they were goitig over the bridge to be buried. But the wonder is where: they all have been since the: fire? Only a half dozen buildings remained unburnt. Into these buildings they crowded like rats. In the darkenss féverish anxiety regading the movements of the citizens, these poor wretches have huddled and brooded over their misery for weeks. Their insolent Chinese task-masters prevented them from crossing the river, and the citizens forbade their build: ing in Chinatown. Now that 601 has sent a couple of the worst of the Chinese fiends out of town, and the miserable creatures asfast as they They do pot use the siiewalk’ "They ga across ihe Flamand ae because thair death causes the news. eveni money. ps = ee te ue most outrageously. ‘e J-Olgers Via City The} * ‘protect’ the property of the residence a thoroughly honest man, and to 3 and filth over crowded, hungry, in} Mrs J Miss LCarmet do Miss M Forsyth sF ’.

He described the appearatée of things very much as did the earlier visitors, éxcept that while he was there the miners were putting in half a dozen blasts in the face of the erossctit, and—after’ they were fired there would be ‘something new to gaze upon. “At half past 2° o’elock came. the news of San Francisco street trans: actions after the Board. ‘‘Sierra Nevada down to 48?” was the bloodchilling news. At this hour’ it was reported that Mr. Skae had telegraphed below that the 2200 crosscut had been advanced into. better and: richer ore. Shortly afterward the price advanced to 55, ee KIND WORDS.

GOOD LOOKING LEDGE. Messrs Ragan and Jamieson, who are prospecting a ledge on Water Ldhedat knaven as the City Belle, in the rear of Gillet’s nursery are now rock from their claim.' Yesterday specimens were brought to town that showed plenty of free gin them, The ledge is now 2 feet thick, and what they believe, as well as others who have visited the mine, to be a bonanza. eet tenee of +150 feet: » The Coroner, Dr. ‘quotations arrived they Seat torthe: seene of the accident. , ros of this sp D pes little sheet is.greattaking out some magnificent: looking the owners are in high glee over in git account of at —— was ns Friday, , Hilepenildet 5 bey. f San Juan were ‘start onfast Thursday » morning by al sort that Philip Busch, one of the idest residents of this{place, Was found dead in the Sai Juan diggings, having fallen’over the bank .a disStotlar, was notified, and repaired body was quite coldand: lying face aownward. “Life had been extinct for hours. The Coroner took charge of the remains, and/articles found in his pockets, consisting of a watch, knife and some keys.

Elizabeth Busch, at half past 6 o’clogk on Wednesday evening. A short time afterward Miss Busch thotght she heard a noise in the rear of Mrs. Potter's residence. The supposition © is that deceased “went acros the street from his. own residence and round the rear of Potter’s lot (which is quite close to the San Juan diggings). Complaints having been made to. him that Chinamen were in the habit of stealing fruit and wood, and while trying to 4 where his’ daughter lived, he acc’dentally walked over the embankment and was instantly killed. Two boys sons of Mr, Evans, were the first to find the remains uext morning on the bedrock, at the bottem of the embankment. The jary found that death was caused by accidentally falling over an embankment 150 . ¢ Deceased was a native of Vestphalia, Prussia, and 61 years of age. He was a widow er, his wife being dead many years. He died posessed of considerable means, leaving awillin which he bequestheil all

his earthly property ‘to his step-, daughter, Elizabeth Busch. He was those who knew him best, his sudden death is keenly felt. Deceased was an old Californian. He came tp this State during the gold excitement of *49, and followed for many years the ups and downs of a miner’s life. _2--s —HOW THEY Go.The Truckee Republican says the fire déns are being vacated. The Chinese are removing across the river: Not an hour passes buta string of Chinamen can be seen winding their way across the plaza with furniture and household goods, This furniture is invariably of theZpoorest, cheapest description. Old cans compose, generally the outfit of the cufsine department. Cans that are black with soot, and greasy, and . filthy looking. Small articles are bundled together in mats. As for clothing and bedding the flre attended to most of that. They are as woe-begone afd desolate a looking set of creatures as you ever laid eyes upon. They are miserably poor and destitute, and some dre near the verge of starvation. The Safety Committee offer to furnish them rations of rice if they -will move across the, river, and they are moving. Poor devils, it makes oné’s heart ache to see how little they have to move. The fire swept almost everything. Watching the irregular prosession; you see old ragged men and forlorn wonien hobbling along as decrepit and sorrowful looking as if they were goitig over the bridge to be buried. But the wonder is where: they all have been since the: fire? Only a half dozen buildings remained unburnt. Into these buildings they crowded like rats. In the darkenss féverish anxiety regading the movements of the citizens, these poor wretches have huddled and brooded over their misery for weeks. Their insolent Chinese task-masters prevented them from crossing the river, and the citizens forbade their build: ing in Chinatown. Now that 601 has sent a couple of the worst of the Chinese fiends out of town, and the miserable creatures asfast as they They do pot use the siiewalk’ "They ga across ihe Flamand ae because thair death causes the news. eveni money. ps = ee te ue most outrageously. ‘e J-Olgers Via City The} * ‘protect’ the property of the residence a thoroughly honest man, and to 3 and filth over crowded, hungry, in} Mrs J Miss LCarmet do Miss M Forsyth sF ’.
