in the San Francisco Herald Bids will
be received at the Contract Office of the

the advertisement, that route II, ,532
from Double Springs, by North Branch,
San Andreas, Fourth Crossing, Angels
Camp, Vallecito, to Murphy's and back,
three times week" From this, it ap-
pears the Department intends to cut off
all this section of country with tri-
weekly, instead of daily Mail each way
as we have heretofore had We cannot
understend why it is, and think there
must be some mistake in relation to it
A daily line of stages runs each way
the people require daily Mail and have
just cause of complaint if they do not
receive it.

REBUILT. The Suspension Flume over
the Calaveras, near Jenny Lind, which
was blown down some weeks ago, has
been reconstructed and will now conduct
the water of the Jenny Lind ditch to the
south side of the Calaveras river, and sup
ply with water the rich mining country
at Rich Gulch and vicinity. That Sec
tion is rich in mineral wealth, and persons
have been holding claims on Rich Gulch
and waiting for water for two years past.
Quite large number of miners are loca-
ted in that vicinity, and there will un-
doubtedly be large amount of gold taken
out during the coming winter.

Hy~ Gen. Walker, it is now pretty cer-
tainly ascertained, has about completed
the fitting out of another filibustering ex-
pedition, and the largest and most COM
pletely equipped of any one of that char
acter which has ever left the territory of
the United States. The impression ap-
pears to be, that the expedition will land
in Costa Rica, whip out the natives and
then carry out their original design against
Nicaragua, by invading and taking pos
session of that country. This would un-
doubtedly be favorable moment and will,
no doubt, be seized upon for the purpose,
as there is some prospect of hostilities
between Costa Rica and Nicaragua.

RESERVOIR BRoKE.-The large reser-
voir on the line of the Old Gulch ditch
a branch of the Table Mountain ditch
broke on last Saturday night, sending an
immense body of water down the gulch,
which in its mad career carried away
sluices and mining tools and filled up
mining claims and tail-races, doing con-
siderable damage throughout the whole
length of the gulch.

MINING ON THE CALAyERAs.-We
learn that the miners in the Big Canon,
Calaveras river, are now doing more
profitable business than has been done for
some time-most of the claims filled up
by the late freshet have been opened,
pumps started and washing commenced
The German Company's claim suffered
the most by the late freshet; it cost them
81 200 to remove the sediment that set
tied in the claim and the drain. They
are now at work, under renewed assu-
RANGES that the claim is as rich as ever
and the season will be prosperous. All
the claims are paying well; one Company
last week found a piece Of gold, slightly
quartzy, weighing over five pounds an
other piece of pure gold, seven ounces,
was also found. We are told that COM
pany is formed and are about putting in a
bedrock fume into the channel of the

down Brigham Young and his followers,
who, from their declarations, are consid-
cred rebels, and subject to Indictment
for treason.
Kansas, which las been so long bleed
ing, is still the cause of great excitement,
caused by the elections in the Territory,
and the action of Gov. Walker in reject
ing certain precincts-Oxford precinct
in johnson county, which returned 1928
votes, but after careful investigation by
the Governor, was found to contain only
124 votes, and precinct in McGee coun-
ty, where Is votes were polled and 1900
returned. The rejection of the two pre-
cincts gave the State to the Free Soil
party, and as necessary consequence
brought down upon the head of the Gov
ernor the whole fury of the pro-slavery
re-eating wing of the democracy, who
accuse him of treason to the South and
southern interests, and endeavoring to
make political capital for himself, while
the fanatics of the North equally accuse
him of acting through interested motives
of self, by going over to the Free Sellers
at the eleventh hour, after finding they
were the stronger, thus endeayoring to
secure for himself fair prospect for the
u. 5. Senatorship. So far, Gov. Walker
pays no attention to the opinion of ultra
lists, either North or South, but pursues
the even tenor of his way, following a
conservative course which ought to Sc
cure for him the appreciation of every
American citizen. With all the ink and
paper wasted in writing the superfuous
gas blown off by speechifying, and the
excitement and hot blood stirred up both
North and South, upon slavery or no
slavery in the Territory, climate and
Walkers isothermal line have effectually
settled the question, and Kansas is virtu-
ally free State.
The former steamer brought news to
the effect that the Government would
suspend operations on all public works
not of pressing emergency. This was a
mistake, and public works will 90 on as
usual, but it is likely no new ones will be
commenced at present.
Specie was beginning to flow into the
Atlantic States very freely, from abroad,
over seven millions of dollars being re-
ceived in the cities of New York, New
Orleans and St. Louis during the month
of October, which, if it continued, would
greatly relieve the money pressure, and,
as consequence, prove beneficial to all
branches of business. But this influx of
the precious metal is likely to be greatly
checked by the action of the Bank of
England in raising the rate of discount to
eight per cent-as high figure as it has
been during the present century-and
the European banks raising discounts in
the same proportion, all tending to pre-
vent the return of specie to the United
States.

JENNY LIND, december lSt, 1891.
Messrs. Editors We were somewhat
surprised to see our names published
amongst the delinquent taxpayers in Cal
averas county for the years 1856 and
1857, to-wit: Mark Nee Cormick for 1857,
S30.93, and d. w Paxson for 1856,
$3.50, as we have the sheriff receipts
for each of said amounts, viz: McCor-
mick has the receipt of Chas A. Clarke,
sheriff, by Benz. K. Thorn, deputy, dated
May 10Th, 1857, and d. W. Paxson has
the receipt of Chas. A. Clarke, sheriff, by
J. Macnish, deputy, dated May 18th,
1887. We don't boast of having paid
our taxes, for in doing so, we only dis
charged our duty as citizens but we
have very serious objection to being
published to the world as delinquents,
whilst we have the sheriff's receipts in
our pockets. We would not make this
publication if we were the only persons
wrongfully accused of defalcation, but we
are credibly informed that many others
in the county are similarly situated.
We suppose the present sheriff has
made out his delinquent list from the
books of his predecessor; if SO, the blame
rests with the ex-sheriff and his deputies
Come out, gentlemen, and explain mat
ters-you have the money amongst you.
Give the cd his due;" or, in other
words, render unto Caesar the things
which are Caesars"
And now, friend Mulford, in all kind
ness and good feeling, we will say to you
that if you sell our premises on the 14th,
as per advertisements, you will have a
happy time in putting the purchaser in
possession. MARK MCCoRMICK.

SHOOTING AFFAIR.-A man by the

Sunday, by Constable Pat. Keho, while
in the act of making an arrest. Cum
minis had committed an assault on man.
and Keho. had warrant for his arrest,
but could not find Cummins. He soon
observed him crossing trail, and ordered
him to halt, stating he was an officer,
with authority to arrest him. Cummins
ran, and Keho fred-one shot slightly
taking effect near the foot, the other en-
tered the back near the clavicle, and came
out above the breast near the neck
Keho gave himself up, and we believe
these facts were proven on the trial before
Justice Philips, of Campo Seco, who de-
cided that Keho was justifable, being in
the discharge of his duty as an officer
1t is said that Keho had been informed
that Cummins had murdered the man.

that the wound in the shoulder was dan
gerous, but not likely to be fatal, as no
