HOME MATTERS.

CANoN CITY.-Health good, mines paying WELL
and business prosperous. Barrett, Dady & Co.
have recently opened a claim from which they
took nineteen ounces and ten dollars on the 2Oth
The dirt and rock is literally covered with gold
Long, Gilman d Co. took out twelve ounces
day, last week. Potter, Clothier & Co., few
days since, took out over 500 in single days
work-drifting claim. know of no claims pay
ing 30 we'll as at this place. Fisher Co. have
taken water across the creek, from their large
fume, to high bar that has paid very rich, but
has never been thoroughly worked. 1t some
times requires two men, with erow-bars TO move
the rocks at the head-so large are they. Should
they prove successful, other high bars the
creek will soon be worked. The quartz fever is
raging here. Two miles above this, several pieces
of quartz, containing considerable gold, has been
found. ! have endeavored to get piece to send
you, but without success-shall look for the lead
myself ! am told, by an old resident, and per
son OF veracty, that the lode is extensive, but he
does not choose to tell the place of discovery He
says he may send you sample, before long.

REDDING's BAR.-The damages caused by the
last flood have been nearly all repaired, and all
are hard at work 10 make good their loss. The
Turner's Bar Company have commenced a new
ditch, which is vigorously progressing. This
company, who are all well known for their enter
prise and perseverance,, will own probably the
best mining property in the county, when their
ditch is completed On Mud Bar Toobitz & Co.
are making from one to three ounces per day to
the hand, and the different companies on Redding,
Cape Horn and Kanaka Bars would do equally
well, if they were not engaged in repairing ditch
os. If, instead OF the numerous little conflicting
water privileges, we had here one large ditch,
owned by company or an individual not direct
ly engaged in mining, much labor would be ap-
piled to mining, which is now employed in keep
ing bitches, without number, in repair much
ground would be worked, which is now unpro-
ductve, being monopozed by small ditch own
ers, and much trouble and litigation would be
avoided. Mr.. Hatch, our very efficient road over
seer, is busily engaged in building a substantial
bridge across Weaver Creek; and wagon road
navigation, between here and Weaver, will soon
be re-opened. G. l..
UNNECESSARY NosE-The Cinnamon on the
west side of Main street make great deal more
noise than is agreeable to the neighbors. They
keep up an eternal row all night long, as a gam
bling accompaniment, which prevents white folks
from sleeping. We see no reason why these yell
low idolators should be permitted to disturb the
peace, while if white persons made half the rack
ct they would be indicted for nuisance. We are
not quite certain, but we think that if our slum-
bers were disturbed by screams, screeches and
yells thus, we should find means to stop the noise
or make more of it. Some jublant Celestial
would meet misbap like what befel Biddy o.
Rafferty,. She sued man for throwing brick
at her dog, and missing him the brick missed
the dog but it kim agn her =
WEAyBRyILLE Hook AND LADDER Goa meet
ing Of citizens was held at Hocker's building on
the 25th, at which it was agreed to meet again on
the I'd of April to adopt bylaws for the govern
ment Of a Hook and Ladder Company, which
they propose to organize in Weaverville. Com
mittee on Bylaws, Messrs. Kinds, Walter and
Boch Committee on Subscriptions, Hooker,
Messec and Lang j. S. Mccain was chairman of
the meeting, and q. j. Love, secretary. II Is
hoped that subscriptions will be liberal and
prompt, for protective organization will add
much to the security and value of property.
DRY AND WET-Miners near town had begun
to complain of drought, and had been forced to
leave off work, until Wednesdays rain, which
continued all day. and brought down the dried
up streams in full force Snow has fallen on the
surrounding mountains to considerable depth,
which will keep up the water several weeks,
without drawing on the main bank reserved Tor
emergency.
Snow Through gorge, to the East is
seen huge snow mountain, treeless, grand and
cold as, as-thc charities of modern shirt-and-
Bible dispensing association. We reckon that is
where the Siskyou poet saw the Storm King
going hill-up with the extension oil bis under
garment a-hutterin' in the wynds
LEG BRoKES.--John Beatty had his leg broken
In N. Doughertys claim, on Sydney Hill, last
Thursday.
New FoUNTAIN-Fred. Walter of the Pacific
Brewery, has constructed a fountain in his door
yard, which works well, and adds much to other
late improvements in front of his dwelling
SAN Francisco CAsK ALE.-Mr. Campbell, of
the Challenge Saloon, cor. Main and Court sts.,
has sent us samples Of draught ale, brought from
San Francisco in casks-the first ever offered for
sale here. 1t is excellent and, withal, cheap.
New BRIDGE.-Mr. Cochell, road overseer, is
having substantial bridge built across Sydney
Gulch, at the junction of Oregon and Main SITS.
the street plankng is, also, being repaired, and
the street itself cleared of rubbish.
THE WEATHER at mid-week was cold and stor-
my, rain, hail and snow coming aslant and rather
searching in disposition.
ALL over Sydney Hill and through the Basin
mining is going on vigorously, greatly revived
by the weeks rain.

lower Main street, through the private enterprise
