MOUNT GREGoRY.-We learn that this
fourishing mining camp, ten miles north Of
Georgetown, is improving steadily in the
way of new buildings and stores. Messrs.
Richardson & Co., have for some time past
been engaged in constructing a steam mill
completed it last week and are now enga-
ged saving lumber at rapid rate. Messrs
Bell & St. Clair have tannery in opera,
tion near the above place, at which hides
from Georgetown, Greenwood Valley, Span
ISL Flat and Volcanoville, are converted
into leather, of which article they have
as yet manufactured but little, but will in a
short time be enabled to do so on an exten-
sive scale, as they have large quantity OF
hides ready for graining. Their yard con-
tains eighteen vats.

Mining Intelligence.

BIG LICKs.-The old Wisconsin Tunnel
Mameluke Hill, which has been successful
ly worked for the past three years, is paying
enormously. We learn from Mr.. Fleming
shareholder, that the company, six in
number, received dividend of Al ounces
to the share last week. Monday and Tues
day, this week,) Ill ounces had already
been taken out, and the prospect ahead is
promising for realizing better pay than ev-
er before. On Tuesday evening just before
quitting work, 50 ounces was obtained from
single pan of earth; at SIT 40 per ounce,
this amounts to the round sum of 1904 80.
We are informed by gentleman direct
from Last Chance, that miners there are av-
eraging from Sc to SIC per day. The uni
versal good luck which has attended those
who have heretofore operated in those dig
gings is inducing large numbers of miners
to take up their abode there this spring for
the purpose of embarking in this branch of
industry on an extensive scale during the
coming summer. The gold taken from that
section is of superior quality and sells
for $l8 per ounce
Our informant also states that he came
by the way of Devils Basin, Hell's De-
light and Deadwood, (what names,) and
that miners at all of those places are doing
remarkably well; some claims paying $40
and $50 per day to the man.
One day last week two men drifted out
of the Washington claims, Georgia Slide,
40 ounces of pure gold.

However, it is conceded by all that both

The Assassination of Jas. King OF WIN.

Inc Assassination Oh Oas' ming u w In'
Never since the organization of this
State has any event occurred which created
so widespread sensation, so deep-rooted
feeling Of horror in the minds of the peo-
Die, as the late assassination of James King
of VIM. by JAS. ?. Casey. The pulses of
the people quickened and their hearts beat
painfully on the announcement. The event
which called forth this universal feeling
was no ordinary one. True, it has been
preceded by others of like nature, but in
cold-blooded atrocity it has no parallel even
in San Francisco.
Whatever may have been the views en-
tertalned of the course pursued by Mr.
King in his paper, the conviction is general
that he was prompted by honorable motives
and by a desire to cleanse society of the
moral leprosy by which it was afflicted; and
to be thus deliberately shot down by a con-
victed felon, in broad day, in a crowded
street of the metropolis, for merely reitera-
ting we'll authenticated fact, has created
a sympathy for the victim and feeling of
Indignation toward the assassin, which
thrills through every nerve of the masses.
Were there reasonable grounds of hope
that crime of any degree would meet de-
enrvna nuniShmnr+ Of tho Lo,,Ir of IL ----

Mai. for Placerville,

There are other precincts to hear from,
nearly all of which will probably return ma
iorities for Coloma. The contest is close,
and nothing positive can be arrived at un-
til officially canvassed by the Board of Su-
pervisors. We fear there has been much
illegal voting at Placerville and vicinity.
The returns as reported, show a vote at
Placerville, including the upper town, of
24l0 votes, while only 1922 was polIed last
Fall. The precincts in the vicinity Of Pla-
cerville polled their usual vote, and in some
instances larger vote than common. We
hope for the credit of the county there has
been no illegal voting.

highly beneficial to the mining and agri-
cultural interests.
