RoBBERY.-Mr, Alexander McClanahan, a for.
eign miners tax-colector, was robbed on Sat
urday night last, below Grass Valley, of some
sixty dollars in money and revolver. He was
waylaid by two men who had been lying in the
bushes, who came up one on each side of him
presented their pistols, and demanded his mon.
ey. Mr.. McClanahan recognized one of the rob
bers as Wallace Gebr, and communicated the
fact to John Sales, his partner, who arrested
Gehr in q cabin near Grass Valley and found
the money and pistol in his possession. He was
examined in Grass Valley, and committed to
Jail to await his trial. Gehr is well known in
this place; he served as policeman, for some
months under David Johnson, the late Marshal
and was reelected and acted about three weeks
under the present Board of Trustees, when he
was discharged. He has long been suspected
of being connected with the late robberies near
this place, and was once arrested for stealing
cattle, and examined before Justice Van Hagan,
bnt the evidence not being sufficient to hold him
he was discharged

HoMIcIDE.-A man by the name of William
Stafford was killed on Monday morning near
the head of Coyote street, by Henry HAYS, un.
der the following circumstances. It appears
that Hays had thrown up a quantity of dirt
sometime last fall for the purpose of washing
the gold out of it when he could obtain water
Upon going to the spot on Monday morning he
found Stafford at work washing the dirt Some
hard words followed between the two when
they clinched and fell, Stafford being under
meath. man who was standing near pulled
Hays off from the other, but as soon as Stafford
got up Hays struck him blow on the neck
which knocked him down. Hays immediately
picked up his hat aud left. Stafford never
spoke after receiving the blow, but died in
about five minutes Mr.. Hays was arrested and
brought before Justice Anderson. and held to
bail in the sum of five thousand dollars To an.
swer to the charge. He has resided for several
years in Nevada, and has always been noted as
quiet, peaceable man. Stafford was vouno
man about ~ years old, perfectly inoffensive
and was probably not aware that the dirt which
he was washing out belonged to any one. He
was formerly from Indiana, and has brother
at Chips, in Sierra county.

Importance Of being able to ascertain the scsIa

thinking it was large diamond, he Immediate
ly left his work and went home. He invited
friend to take tea with him, and produced the
supposed diamond at the tea table. His friend
offered $500 for it which the digger refused to
take. He made his voyage to England, and on
arriving in London, went to mineral dealer
and offered him the precious stone for sale
The dealer, however, on trying its hardness
found that it was only common quartz ana
after convincing the digger of his mistake. he
gave him few shilings for it on account of its
beauty.

PROTECTION OF MINING CLAMs.--A bill has
been introduced in to the Senate and was made
the special order for yesterday, for the better
protection Of mining claims. The bill prescribcs
a penalty for extracting gold from mining claims
which have been opened, an offense for which
1t Is said there is now no penalty attached, but
which is not uncommon in the mining districts
The bill under consideration is designed to rem
edy this defectin the criminal code. So far as
we can see, law of this character will not in
any way conflict with the rights of miners, but
might in many instances protect them. A thief
might now go to mining claims, upon which
thousands of dollars had been expended, and
during the absence of the owners, wash out con-
siderable quantities of gold; but from the fact
that the gold had never been taken from its
original location, he could not be punished
An offence of this kind is nothing less than
stealing, and should be punished as such.
