in one Of your leaders of last week, that
you advised letting medicine alone. if at.

"A competent medical man.

Ew Quite an Interesting scene occurred

Esr Quite an interesting scene occurred
at the dock of the Michigan Southern Rail
road on Wednesday evening. A gentleman
who had paid his fare for Toledo on board
the steamer Northern Indiana, was leaving
the boat for the shore with his port monaie
in his hand. While on the plank by some
means he dropped it iato the Lake. Think
ing no doubt he should not see it again he
offered to any one vino would recover il one
half of it's contents, On hearing this four
persons belonging to the boat attempted its
recovery. After diving four or five times
three OF them gave it up as bad job; but
the fourth-the barber-not willing to give
il up 30 dove seven times withou. success.
Thinking there was no luck in odd numbers
and anxious for the prize, he determined to
try once more made the eighth dive, and
after remaining under so long that the by
ISLANDERS feared he had lost himself his hand
appeared above water with the prize which
was hailed with loud cheers from the crowd
The gentleman, true to his word, counted
out to the lucky barber one half the money,
which amounted to between four and five
hundred dpllars.-Bg6aio Republic.

WHEN WILL THE MINES BE WORKED oUT!--In

tits to the bosom of the hills we look with con-
fdence for rich discoveries and richer returns than
any yet realized in California. This department Of
mining is in its infancy. Enough however has
been done to demonstrate beyond all doubt the ex-
stence of vast deposits Of aurterous earth deep in
the hills and mountains.
FL Dorado county is rich in hill diggings: The
hills about Placerville, Georgetown and this place.
furnish ample proof on this subject To-day we
give some statistics of Mamaluke hill near George
town The length Of tunnels includes only the dis
tance through the outer rim of rock to the pay
dirt" The amount of money taken from each is
the total without reference to the cost of OBJ
tanning it after completing the tunels. Hereafter
when our statistics are completed we will be pre-
pared to show the profit and loss of tunnel mining
Our figures may not be correct in every instance,
