i ; i $ The Allison Ranch Mine. Captain.J. D. Woodworth is now su4 yperintendent of the Allison Ranch. mine,.and has started in to. thoroughly 4 open it to the depth of 800 feet below the surface. ‘With a. view+o eid in working, John M. Currier has been employed to make a thorough survey of the mine and to make maps of the surface and. underground works. The Alison Ranch is one of the oldest as well as one of the richest mines in the county. Tt has been opened to the depth wf,700 feat below the surface, and has worked, still it has made owners rich. The Company having placed Captain Woodworth in charge, he has inauguis to be done by contract, and the ine as we have stated, will-be opened on a new level, 800 feet below the surface. In order to work understandiagly, a cross-cut is being run to ascertain exactly the nature of the ground at the anitial point. The ledge runs north ‘and south, and at the north end of the works they consider that a new ledge has-been: found. In the way of machinery, considerable improvement is to be made. Two new boilers are to be set in the pumping works, in order that with the two already there the pumping can go on without .interrup-’ tion for repairs, and the six pumps now required to be kept in constant operation to keep the water down are to be decreased to one, with another for lowering. Captain’ Woodworth is now putting ina 15-inch plunger and will ‘take out all the pumps now used except ‘the 16. inch pump. The mine is look_ ing first rate, and the owners are confident that after sinking to the new level . they will find it as rich as it was in its best days. Prxney in Paris;—In concluding a private letter, Frank Pixley gives the following in regard to his observations on the 11th of September: “Atan early hour I went to the Ramparts, and ob-. served the complete preparation for resistance there. Passing out at the gate at Neuilly, 1 saw hundreds of men en. gaged in. demolishing houses, cutting down trees\and removing everything within what ary; the military zone. I van assure you. it looks like earnest, when you see strong stone buildings, beautiful villas, splendid groves and gardens destroyed to. enable the guns of the ramparts to have scope for the maurder of advancing Prussians. I entered the Bois de Boulogne; a large part of it near the walls is alread out down, and I understand it is to be. tirely removed and burned. From the Bois I visited the “Field of Mars.” It is crowded with regiments of infantry, cavalry, men and horses, artillery, guns and wagons, mitrailleuses, tents, etc., all the paraphernalia of war. The streets are actually alive with men and ‘ horses moving in every direction, The garden of the Tuilleries, the avenue of the Roi du Rouse, the avenue of the “Grand Army,” are crowded with all sorts of things military. Signal stations are established -n the prominent heights, at the tops of palaces, the Arc de Tricombhe, etc. To sum up all, Paris is a great military camp, and there is every indication that the Government means stout resistance, As Jules Favre says: “First the army,then the outer fortifications, then the walls; then barricades—man to man and hand to hand,” We shall see. Ban!—The following is from the Union of yesterday: We hear that many grizzly bears are depredating between Weber Lake and the town of Eureka. A cow weighing 800 pounds was killed and carried out of a corral, in that vicinity, and several 700 pound steers have been killed by the same band of bears. These grizzlies are . heading towards Nevada City, in their raid, and it is certain that they cannot be repulsed antil they get to the settled regious around Grass Valley. There is much alartn wboat those bears above Grass Valley, ~ Brothers” Turn (U {The * San Jou i has been victimized by the “Victor, héie” whg\have gauges the naabe of hr Brothers,” at that place.” A correspondent of the Ala writing frém San Jose gives the following account of thé doings of those interesting bilks: A few weeks since a couple of men (brothers) by the name of Dudley came to this place, and opened what they called the San Jose Musical Institute, for the teaching of vocal and instrumental masic, and obtained a large number of pupils, mostly children from the public schools, A few days after they opened their schools, they announced through the “morning paper” the “First Grand Concert of the San Jose Musical Inati}. tute,” to take place on Saturday, October ist. Advertisements in the papers and posters.and handbills on the street, contained the names of eminent and popular’ singers and musicians who would take part in the concert, The “morning paper” espoused the cause ‘of . the “Professors,” and gave its entire strength to make the concert a success, and to some extent succeeded, as will shortly be shown. On Saturday evehing last, everything being in readiness, the doors of the Opera House were thrown open whilst an excellent band discoursed. seductive harmony, which had the effect to draw a large number of people to the spot, many of whom paid their dollar and went to see the show. By the efforts of the school children who took part in the concert, a considerable number of tick-ets-were-sold,_—Fhe—-parents—of-the children also took a lively interest in the affair, buying tickets for themselves and selling some to their friends, and putting all together with the amount taken in at the door, quite a large sum of money was obtained. The concert throughout was tedious. The children, however, did as well as could be expected of them, but the “eminent singers and musicians” failed to appear, and the thing proved on its face to be a huge swindle. But the Dadleys and the ‘morning paper” had succeeded. The Dudleys had contracted a number of bills for various things, amounting to some hundreds of dollars, and as the thing. was a success, of course all the creditors were jolly ; but now & change has come over their merry faces. ‘The Dudley brothers cannot be found. They have fled,and with them the results from the hard labors of editors, bill posters, job printers, parents, children, Musicians and others. Let every community look out for these swindlers. Tue California Silk Factory in the city of San Francisco, is speedily. approaching completion. The roof is now being put on. The engine and oiler are being set up. The machinery was contracted to be furnished by Eastern manufacturers. It is understood that there is a strong probability that the factory will be in a producing condition within a period of from sixty to eighty days. Cars BURNED.—Several box cars, left standing for a long time near ‘Brighton, on the old Fi reeport Railroad (dead track) were set 6n fire last Sunday evening and cunsumed. It is reported that parties thereabouts set fire to them as a sanitary measure, regardingthem as cars used by the Central Pacific Railroad Company as pest houses during the late raid of the small pox in Sacramento, Surr ComMPROMISED.—T he suit in the District Court, in which Henry Odgers and others are plaintiffs, against Peter Cadden and others defendants, has been amicably settled. Witnesses who were to go to Nevada City next Friday to testify in the case, will, therefore, remain at home. The suit involved important mining interests, and the contestants, like sensible men, have made up their own judgments in the matter. So says the Union. THE Italians of Chicago are making preparations to celebrate the anniversary of the discovery of America by Christopher Columbus. As this anaiversary will occur on the 12th of October, the same people, will probably be permitted at the same time, if they choose, to celebrate the first discovery of, Rome by Victor Emanuel. IF antiquity sanctions a custom,chignons are all right. A learned Hinda The charges and counter_. ‘gtewibg out of the’ Grass Vwicrae rels, still occupy omF local Courts. During the week thus far, two cabes. of . perjury have been dispdsed of in ‘Jus. tice Palmer’s Court, and a charge of assault with intent to murder dismissed. The last charge of perjary against Lotta Morton, alleged to have been committed before Justice Funston in Grass Valley, was concluded yesterday. Two charges, growing out of the same quarrel, are pending before Justice Caldwell. The perjury cases were taken under advisement by Justice Pal-' mer until Saturday at ten o’clock. Mining Locations. The Prospecting Company have. located 1,000 feet for quartz mining purposes, on Kate Hayes Hill, Grass Valley township, three-quarters of a mile from Grass Valley. Hear Sig? & Co, have located Jedge, on the easterly side of Kate HayesHill. County ‘Warrants.

In San. Francisco, on the night of October<ist, a United States soldier named Peter McIntyre was shot in the left arm, at his room on 313 Kearney street, by a burglar, a discharged soldier named Samuel 8S. Maxwell. The arm will probably be amputated. No More Income Tax.— Judge ‘ftrong,.of the United Circuit Court for Pennsylvania, has decided, in a case recently before him, that while Congress has the right to make laws, it has no judicial power bestowed upon it to “construe” laws, and, inasmuch as it did not re-enact the Income Law, the law expired by its own limitation, and in consequence the-collection of the tax is unaathorized and must be refunded, “SUPPOSE,” cries the Pall Mal) Gazette, “the French.
