Nr Editor On Friday morning Mr.. George
Machine a blacksmith of Carson's, was seen to

round the building to near the front, he fell on
his face and was dead, before assistance could

Owing to a scarcity of water to work placer
mines, at this time, many are turning tkeir at
tention to Quartz and the result is that rich
strikes, and new veins are discovered almost
daily.
The Cherokee Claim, yesterday, washed from
one pan Of dirt dug out of the vein, five hundred
dollars, and the rock which they stack up for
future grinding, is literally full of gold. Last
week the one horse arastra" at this claim
ground out five hundred and forty-five ounces
of gold, being between nine and ten thousand
dollars Messrs. Winters & Co. have a mill
in operation here, with eight stampers, and their
success is evinced by their lberality and the
hLlo entertainments lhey give 10 numerous
friends Messrs. Davis & Co. are also among
those who are striking it richer than ever. -
The Pigs Eye Claim is holding out a fortune
to its owners. The same lode, equally as rich,
has been traced for some 5000 feet In fact,
there are hundreds of good claims here that are
taken up, and thousands that are not. There
are great many arastras in operation already,
and more making-also, two mills with stamps,
and another one building. All this is having
an effect in town, of which will tell you in my
next. Yours, ANGELS.

Robertson, Secretary
The organization being completed, Mr. E. B.
Robertson was called upon to explain the OBJ
Jects of the meeting. Mr.. Robertson answered
the call by stating that the miners of Calaveras
county had suffered severely by the want OF
suitable legislation for their protection, and that
she last Legislature had enacted only such laws
as we're beneficial to Property Holders and Real
&Stdte 9serators, to the disparagement of min
ing interests. Miners should have equal rights
with other citizens, in the blessings of govern
ment Heretofore our legislators had occupied
too mch of their time in attending to the inter-
ests of other branches of trade, leaving the
interests of the miner wholly unprotected
Wherenpon the following resolutions were
offered and unimously adcpted.)
Therefore, be it
Resotped, That we viii support no man fol
any County or State Office whois not in favor
of protecting our rights.
And we further
Resolve, That we hold the mining interests o
Calaveras county, to be paramount to all other
interests, and as such, should be fostered and
encouraged by the enactment of Wholesome and
Just La'cs for its permanent prosperity.
Resotved That we proceed to form a MINERS
CLUB, to be called the Buckeye Pra,act Club
and that the Club be organized bv s,ect;no tbt
