We have seen by the papers from below,
handbills about the taverns, &c, that the
combination was broken up, and considera-
BILE excitement was the consequence. We
also have heard rumors that first cabin fare
was reduced to $l00, two weeks since
But the last account was that fare was re-
duced to only $3.50 in the first cabin to
New York. We see that both lines are
carrying over double the usual number of
passengers what the fare is at this
time, we can learn by going to the Bay city

School Lands.

We COPY the following from an interest
ing article in the Sacramento Union, of
the oath Instant
Congress has donated to California, for
school purposes, the 10th and 36th sections
of land in each township. No land having
been surveyed and divided into townships
and sections in the State, the 10th and Both
sections cannot be designated. And even
if they could, under the law of Congress
they are secured to the inhabitants of each
townStip in which the land lies. and cannot
be sold by the State and the proceeds con-
solidated into a general school fund. The
injustice Of this division of the benefits to
be derived from the public lands by COM
mon schools is so glaring that we are sur
prised that Congress continues to donate
school land for the benefit of the townships,
and not to the State in trust for all the chill
dren within her limits. Under the present
law, IN townships where the lands are rich,
the school fund will be large; while in town.
ships where the 10th and Both sections hap
pen to be poor, the schools will not realize
one dollar for them. There is still great
er injustice worked in this State by this
kind Of a donation law Mineral lands are
not to be surveyed-at least by sections,
and the result follows, that the mining coun-
ties, where the mass Of the population re-
side, where children are most numerous and
schools most needed, will never receive one
dollar from the millions of acres contained
in the 10th and Both sections donated to the
various townships where the lands happen
to be located, unless these counties are per-
mitted to locate their 10th and 36th sec
tions in other parts of the State.
"This matter should have attracted the
attention of the Legislature, and partcu-
larly that of members from mining coun-
ties"

1t is said that not over one half of the

addition we find that the whole number of

is about two fifths of the usual vote of this
County.
From an Ell Dorado County correspon-
dent of the Sacramento Union, it seems that
this election is claimed as Know Nothing
victory. Wo "Know Nothing" about the
correctness of the above statement, but if
true, there must be many more who have

posed. The aggregate vote for the success

gate for the other candidates was 1905;

RoCEAwAY CoMPANY.-We are informed
that the Rockaway Tunnel Company, of
Cement Hill, broke through the bed rock
one day last week, and got as high as IS
cents to the pan on the high hill rock The
probability is when they get into the chan
mel for which they have been running, for
the past eighteen months, thro' solid rock,
at great expense, they will be amply re-
warded for their labor The expense of
running this tunnel has been about $4,000.
MAINE Tunnel Cove understand that
this company broke through the rock into
pay dirt. on Friday of last week, and got a
fair prospect. Their claims are on Bottle
Hill.
LONE STAR Tunnel Co.-The Lone Star

by one of the company, have been taking
out good pay the past week; they took out
several pans of dirt averaging from two TO
six ounces each.

recently struck good pay in their Tunnel on
Jones Hill.
