Drrcu.-Mr. G. X. Peterson, Civil Engineer,
having completed the survey for the line of the
proposed Canal for introducing water into
Mariposa County from the Yosemite Valley,
has directed his attention to this section of the
County. On last Monday he left Hornitos
with his men to commence preliminary sur
vey of line for a Ditch from the main Merced
River beginning at or near Saxtons Creek to
point at the head of Burns Creek. We are
informed that this is not only the most direct
course for introducing water into Quartzburg,
Hornitos and Indian Gulch districts, but the
cheapest and most easy of construction.

wounds that he inflicted on the person Of the
Mexican with an axe. Immediately after
his antagonist had ceased to kick, Antonio ran
to Quartzburg and informed the people of what
had occurred, who proceeding to the cabin,
