IMPORTANT IMPRovEMEsr.-The Table Noun
tain Water Company have completed their
branch ditch to Old and French Clutches. This
ditch is supplied with the water that is sold
from the main ditch at the Table Mountain,
Cave City and CASTOR Hill Diggings. Hereto
fore, the water that this ditch now carries, has
been of no benefit to the Company after being
used at the above places. 1t is now taken out
lust below Cave City, and carried distance OF
ten miles to Old and French Clutches, where
there is rich mining section, which as yet has
been but little prospected. Some miners have
been holding claims in these gulches three or
four years, patiently waiting for water, and
they now feel assured of being we'll remunera-
ted for their patience and perseverance. The
Ditch Company have expended large capital
in the construction of their works. and they
will be well repaid, as their canal runs through
as large and rich a mining section as can be
found in the State, thereby making it very
valuable piece of property.

LETTER FROM HAwK-EYE.

HAWK-EYE, FeD. ZZ, 1891.
Editor Independemt:-It is an old and
true adage, that "after storm there is
a calm" Since the recent Express Rob-
berry the excitement in our Camp has
gradually cooled down, until we have but
little to talk about, except the local mining
news and incidents of the Camp. | see
much of the room in your paperis devoted
to mining news, and {" Big Strikes" We
have no great wonders in the way of min
ing to chronicle, but can report that our
constant and regular yield of gold, is not
surpassed by any other camp of equal size
in the county. 10 prove this, | have de-
voted some time to get the facts in refer
ence to some Of the Claims in this vicinity
with the following results:
The claim of Messrs Ford & Ingolls,
near the Hawk-Eye House, pays $40 per
day to the hand. NIessrs. Smell & Rich
ardson's claim also pays SO per day to the
man.
On the Flat, about half mile back
from the Hawk-Eye, the claims are also
yielding rich returns for the investment
and labor, averaging from five, eight to ten
dollars per day to the hand. Messrs
Hoyt Il Co., are making fifteen dollars per
day to the share Messrs Beckworth &
Co, are now making ten dollars per day
out of their claim. Messrs Shell Death &,
CO., also report their claim as doing well,
say $40 per day to the mau Messrs. Weir
& Co.'S claim is paving them much better
than was anticipated. All these claims
are on the fat, and are what might be
termed surface diggiags. The two large
piles of dirt carted up by Messrs. Nenox
4 Co., have not yet been touched, but
when washed out will give an average yield
equal to the richness of the above claims
The miners in this vicinity, rely upon
the Union Ditch from Murphy's, for their
supply of water Through the enterprise
of Mr.. Snow, they arc accommodated with
sufficient water to work their claims This
Branch Ditch, is owned and conducted by
Mr.. Snow, who has endeared himself to
this whole community by his liberal con-
duct, and unremitting attentions to the
wants of the miners. Every miner and
citizen in this Camp would hold up both
hands in declaiming the fact; the ladies,
too, endorse the gentleman-as good look
ing young man-and all he wants is awife
say they-of course they are not inter-
ested in their kind suggestions, and little
attentions.
On the other side of the ridge is another
ditch, also supplied, by the Union Ditch,
of Murphy's. 1t supplies water to all the
diggings on the otherside of the junction,
and all around the vicinity of Dog Town,
and Coyote Gulch. Mr. Smith, the owner
of this Ditch is also an A No. l, clever
fellow, and if the ladies do not accord to
him the preference in youth, beauty, &C.,
it is because tastes differ, and there must
be consequent difference of opinion in
such matters. The reason I write these
little particulars, | have recently been
married, and can look at things in differ
ent light, without prejudice or partiality"
as newspapers say.
Yours now, and all the time H.

Cool PRocEEDISGs On Sunday night, last,
about ten O'clock us Il miner, Mr.. Z. C. Bellows,
partner of John Jones, was his way home,
(between town and his cabin.) he was violently
assaulted by two robbers. The ruffians ap-
preached from behind and suddenly seizing Mr..
Bellows by his right and left arm, linking with
him arm-in-arm, with bowie-knves presented
at his breast, demanded his money, which he
gave them, (S3 ~ The robbers then allow
ed Mr.. b. to proceed on his journey, which he
hastily did. On entering the cabin, he procured
his revolver, and without speaking of the oc-
currence started in pursuit of the foot-pads
one of whom he had recognised, but not suffl-
cently to identify him on oath. He soon came
up with the robbers, and fired two shots at
them, as they escaped, but it is supposed with
out effect, as they ran over the hill towards the
race-track. The pursuit was not given up un-
til near two o'clock in the morning

Ba DR.. L. j. Czapkay.-The gentleman
whose name forms the caption of this notice is
one of the few modern physicians whose appli-
cation to his profession and devotion to the af-
1cted render him alike an ornament to the
one and benefit to the other. A Hungarian
by birth he sought with Kossuth to place his
country among tHe IlatlOnS OF the etTtn, DeyOnu
the oppressors rule, that her sons might re-
joice in the practice of those precepts which
are alike our glory and our pride. In his efforts
so to do, he has reaped the reward of Intellectual
resistance to oppression, and "a home and a
country know him no more" Apart, however,
from his claims upon our consideration as a
patriot, the testimonials of character and ca
pacity which he brings entitle him to public
confidence, to the exclusion of those who pos
sess neither the one or the other. As gentle
man his character is untarnished: as a physi-
clan, his skill unsurpassed; and to those whose
imprudence has left upon them the taints of
disease, we can conscientiously commend him
with the assurance that in him they will find a
friend whom to know is great gain. The Dr.'s
