those magistrates, sometimes denominated
bass-wood justices" in neighboring town,
imagining himself insnltcd by one of his town
men during a dispute, threatens to arrest him
for contempt Of court. The plain citizen re-
piled that it could not be done, as the bass
wood justice was not acting officially, but the
latter rejoined that he was Justice af the
Peace continually from the rising of the sun

TRACKS OF A TRAVELLER.


My last meeting with you, gentle reader,
was at French Camp on the east of the Butte
Continuing south from there around the
mountain had view of more open coun-
try, in which there were evidences of much
mining and an extensive collection of houses
On n tall staff in the midst of the houses
waved the pride of every American heart,
"the star spangled banner" As it proudly
0oated in the breeze, emotions of patriotism
stirred my internal arrangements, and elo-
qucnce unbidden flowed to my tongue. Fan
cying myself an orator with an immense con-
course before me | gave vent to the following,
which dedicate to all fourth-of-July speak
ers: Fellow misunderstanding beneath
that banner so expressive to every American,
am filed with pride for those who designed
/ its linaments, Its stars being embematic of
what we made the British see when we struck
them the first blow between the eyes, and the
stripes so ftly representing that streak of fat
and streak of lean in a piece of pork that
renders it so salubrious to a free people, when
properly cooked with beans, and which eau

words came from congregation | was not
before aware Of having. He proved to be
an old democrat who supposed me to be John
Bigler runnig for governor as usual, and ad-
yancing he gave me hearty shake of the
hand and promised me his vote He will be
in jackson on the 18th inst to hear me flu
sh my speach.
Taking the flag as by guide was soon in
the heart of
BUTTE CITY,
and refreshing myself at the American Hotel.
Butte is on the stage road from Jackson via
the Big Bar bridge to Mokeumne Hill, and
is an old 40 camp. The diggings are dever-
sifed, comprising surface, ,gulch, deep and tun-
mel, although if water could be procured at
the proper elevation the hills that are now
tunneled would be washed from the top
down. Wells & Co. have succeeded in bring
ing water on the top of one of the hills and
are reaping large reward for their enter
prise. Their nume cost them $4,000, and Sc
cured to them the whole hill as no one else
will go to the same expense for only por-
ton of the hill Most Of the guches in this
section have been worked two or three times,
vet they are all claimed now for working
again, and with prospect Of good pay
Some of the companies have gone to too
much expense and labor in putting down
long fumes in order to get fall and save fine
gold. In some places here the bed rock has
not been found at depth Of one hundred
and six feet. The flats have not been much
worked and offer the largest field to miners
the coming winter.
Kilham's ditch from the south fork of
jackson creek, and the Butte canal both
bring water here; the former but little at
present. and the latter not enough for half
