BOGUS MINING CARCKS. How a Number of Redding Basiness Men Lost Money. The Mountain Copper Company at Keswick, Shasta county, employs nearly 2000 men. These employes are paid by checks drawn upon the bank of Shasta county. The total amount of the checks will foot up to nearly $100,000. It would not be possible for the company to handle the actual cash, as the danger from robbery is too great. The Redding Free Press says that these checks are cashed by the business men of Redding and Keswick whenever offered in payment for goods, This practice has been in vogue for several. years, and has become so customary that the business men of Redding and Keswick think nothing of cashing several hundred dollars’ worth of these checks each month, and then turn them in to the bank. The checks to workingmen are generally for smal) t mounts, and it is hardly profitable for tmyone to go to the trouble to forge them, and until last week this check system has not been tampered with.: Last Saturday, however, an individual placed several bogus checks in circulation, which succseded in causing a number of Redding merchants to loge various sums thereby. eee 7oe A Fruitful Meeting.

Ridicule Inventors of “Complicated Sluice-Boxes. At regular intivals some mechanical genius who has never been within miles of a placer mine, announces that he has invented a sluicebox for saving fine or flour gold. These announcements, says the Virginia . City Chronicle, are ridiculed by practical placer miners who know from experience that an ordinary .line of plain sluice-boxes properly riffled with the head of water all of the gold worth saving, as panning of the tailings at the lower end of the sluices will demonstrate that not one dollar’s Worth of the yellow metal will escape in a month. One of the oldest placer miners on the coast, who is now working near St. Mary’s hospital, uses no riffles in his sluice-boxes and very little gold washed out of the gravel moves ten feet from the top of the ‘apper box where the gravel is dumped in. The miner referred to uses no quicksilver and that he loses no gold can easily be demonstrated by panning the tailings at the end of the line of sluices. “If the gold is in the gravel there is no trouble about saving it and whenever you hear a man talk ‘about losing gold in placer mining you can gamble perience,” remarked the miner referred to. ; BARNEY TYRRELL, a teamster, dragged a cow behind ‘his wagon in Vallejo the other day, tearing the flesh and injaring the animal so badly that it. had to be shot. ; “JIBBER chéated me ont of every dollar I put into his business.” “Gan’t you.do anything?” “No; he got out first with the report that I had cheated bim.” —+ *@e + J.
