‘producers. According to the reports
-of the: state mineralogist offices 26,000. purchases of gold had been
-made up to August 15 in the state.
The niajofity of these were in accounts of less than $2 and: some for
as low ‘aB 10c. Then, too, many of
the gold buyers-are located in country stores where the gold is exchanged for groceries. In these places
the services of a notary are-not available. The report, which hasbeen

MULE TAIL DEER
Well boys here is something for
the deer hunters to shoot at. We
have all heard numerous deer stories and no doubt most of them are
true, but-it 4s-seldom that any of the
boys come home with 215 pounds of
meat in one “chunk” with the horns
sticking right on the top side where
they. belong.
Last Saturday, Dave Richards, one
of the proprietors of the Keystone
Market with John Tognarelli, Frank
Brophy, Norman Wells, Harvey Ike
and Raymond Arbogast, took a notion that-life was rather dull and a
good deer hunt was in order; So-o-0
they cranked up the old “‘buzz Wagon’”’ loaded on the extra’s and headed for Modoc County, the home: of
the Mule deer. They went up by
way of Red Bluff over Burney moun“The starting line-up will be as foltain into Modoc county and over the
Oregon line, which, by the way, is} aut, Carl Tobiasson,
some trip. But not having much luck
on the Oregon side decided to come!
back to dear old California and ‘see!
if they could not fing a few.. ges
ny, ati ge
tracks or something that they Ke
shoot at.
On Tuesday morning the boys went
out with grim determination sticking out all over them. Rifles all
loaded and everything—and as a result a big four point mule deer
weighing 215 pounds was brought
down. This is without doubt the
biggest kill so far this season.
The party returned home yesterday
morning ;bringing . home enough
meat to last the Keystone Market
for quite some time. This specimen
now hangs at the Market on Commercial street, -and the writer
thought at first that the father of all
the” deer “in Modoc. county..Was
more. But Dave Richards says
we killed

U.C.C CAMPS TO
By J. F. McLAUGHLAN
SACRAMENTO, Oct. 5—(UP)—
Careful selection appears the watchword for California county registration agents for C. C. C., as enrollment’ for the second “enlistment” period became general throughout the
state today.
“Only 2,853 enrollies. will. be taken this period, epntrasting with
the 11,500 in the quota of the originalenrollment. The. new, enroliies . .
will be in the nature of replacement
units, R. C. Brannion, director of
state emergency relief, said. —
At the same Brannion announced
county quotas, he announced county
registration agents and their addresses. In Nevada county the quota is
eight and the registration agent is
A. V. McGagin;, Court House, Nevada City, California.
Brannion said there were several
times as many trying to get into the
camps as there are openings, which
will preclude registration of any but
the most needy cases.
California’s quota is sarmeeeg to
be filled by October 10 or 11.
One result of the first period of
the ‘enrollment reflects highly ‘in
California's ‘fAVON, “ACCOrAINE “to state
emergency relief officials: Approxignate to the State Highway Com~
mission Sacramento street instead. of
Pine street as the state highway
Jjink whichthe commission proposes
to take. over.
The petition was signed by more
than a seore of business men.'In prelsenting the petition Mr. Celio called
attention to the fact that by routing
the highway over Sacramento street
and up Broad street, all business
firms would be equally benefited by
the flow. of traffic.
Mayor Bennetts pointed out that
the petition granted the city would
be put to the expense of maintaining
the Gault bridge which he declared
would soon need refloring and. reinforcing, if not rebuilding.
Celio declared that he had certain),
knowledge that the highway commission would not build a new
bridge there.
The council produced a letter from
the State Highway Commission in
which the commission had asked the
city to designate Pine street as the
more direct route in line with the
state highway, and the other streets

Ukiah-Tahoe route, and Broad st.,

DRUNKEN DRIVING
‘By THOMAS B.MALARKEY
SACRAMENTO, Oct. 5—(UP)— a
‘Proudest of all boasts of the state
highway patrol is its record of cutting down the motor vehicle accident
rate. :
nf)
But.there’s one problem in this
connection they\ qhaven’t.-yat been
able to. solve—the keen thirst of
some California drivers during the .
month of July.
During the seven -month period
ending July 31, state highway patrolmen made 68accident ri i
tions in Nevada county. 2
Statistics reveal, according to Be
Raymond Cato, chief of the’ igtate
highway patrol, that during the hot.
summer month of July, arrests for
drunken. driving..increase8
Just why this should be so,

Perhaps heat adds an extra nee
to intoxicants; or maybe thousands
‘of vacationists aré inclined to celebrate their respective holidays by indulging in drinks. It can’t be’ pblam~ed on 3.2 beer. For the sharp July
increase has occured in past. years.
Whatever the cause, every informed highway patrolmen knows he will —
probably be a busy man runing
down drunken drfyers during, the
seventh month of each year. ;
“Coincident with . a marked deH crease in motor vehicle accidents and
