We are anxious to collect all the mining and
news items from the different localities of our
county and publish them weekly for the benefit
of our readers. If some of our friends will oblgc
us in this respect we shall feel verv grateful. Ma
nv hesitate because they feel reluctant to write
for paper. This is certainly poor excuse
It makes no difference to us how badly communi-
cations are written if they only contain facts
Any man of common intelligence can give us min
ing items--how claims are paying, the improve
ments, discovery of mines, &c, which are COM
mon to every locality in the county. We say
then to those of our friends who may feel dispos-
ed to send us mining or other news, don't stop
for bad writing OF spelling. Just give us the
facts and we shall take pleasure in setting them
correctly before the public.

Fettered tongue could scarcely ,ceare the Ian

From his rosy, parted lips, those sacred
Words which live so long in memory's tome.

A BucK-moRN CHAIR ron THE PREsIpENr.--On
Saturday we saw n great curiosity In the shape
OF chair made entirely OF elk antlers. and de-
signed ms present to James Buchanan, President
Of the United States. II arrived here on Satur-
day afternoon on the steamer Goliah. II waa
made in the northern part Of Humboldt county,
by Seth Kinman n hunter, who has arrived with
it in this city, en- route for Washington. II IL
mainly composed Of four massive buck horns.
with the antlcrs branching as appropriately as II
the whole affair were the work of q carver. The
two largest horns composed the hind legs and
back and they incline backwards very graceful,
at the top and meet together so ~ to form An
arch. The two other horns compose the fore legs
and sides. and extend back as to lap on and
firmly fasten in the forks of the back part. Tho
feet are original instead Of taking old antlers,
the hunter brought down the largest living
bucks, and cut the horns out Of their heads with
about three inches Of bone attached. This bone
is solid and white as ivory and the ends on which
the chair rests are formed into the shape Of derr's
hoofs. The rounds or rungs are made of straight
pieces of horn, and so neatly jointed that there
il no outward evidence of 1t. The small horns
which project from every part OF the chair have
their points polished like ivory. The seat Is com
posed of white buckskn prepared expressly for
1t by the maker. We saw the chair in the cabin
of the steamer Goliah yesterday afternoon, and
its owner exhibiting IL ton number OF admirers.

9ss- DIR. l.. D. CZapkay is the only Ply
sician and Surgeon now in California, who has ac-
cumulated a fortune solely by the practice of his
profession. He has a classical education, and ad-
ded to the talents of physician and surgeon, he
is a gentleman of easy manners, and possesses a
frank and open heart. These qualities have con-
tributed much to his great success but that which
has done more for him than all else. is the uniform
candor he has shown to his patients. He neverde-
ceves them, but tells them with sincerity and hon
esty his opinion of their diseases Though posses
sing confidence in himself he never vituperates
other gentlemen of the profession; and from our
acquaintance with him, we believe he strives rel-
giously "to do unto others, as he would that they
should do unto him."
