edge of mining, in California, knows that nc
general law can be framed to suit the various
kinds of diggngs 1t is only by wisely per
mitting each district to make its own laws
not to conflict with the constitution or ne
cessary general laws, that anything like jus.
tice, equality, or the convenience Of those
most interested can be arrived at. All this
has been well settled by experience.
4 Instead of to protect the miners in the
possession of their claims, Mr.. Davis bill is
reasonably conceived to have very different
object, or rather two objects, each of them
very different from protection" The first
is to levy the Ten Dollar Tar, whereby an
enormous sum would be annually iilched away
from the hard earnings Of the miners The
second object is to enable capitalists and
spectators to Monopolizc the Mineral Lands
to enable them to swarm the mountains
with Chinese coolies, and with the aid of their
Internal "Treasurer's Receipts. and the
strong arm of the law to support them, fill
their Golfers with gold that rightfully belongs
to American citizens who are willing and
anxious to employ their o,cn honest labor in
digging it out As to prospecting" that
would be completely knocked in the head
This bill cannot pass, and it is therefore un-
necessary to go on exposing it Righteousness.
The mountain members Except a few foolish
ones who have been bidding for COW county
strength to send them to Congress, or some
where else,) have always proved themselves
true to the interests of their constituents !;
and we do not fear that trap so i'll contrived
as that of Mr. Davis will catch one of them.
Don't disturb the mines, gentlemen of the
Legislature if the miners rant any legisla-
tion, they will ask for it. All that they do
ask is that you will "let them alone Not
disturb them in the rights and privileges
which the General Government has been lib
era enough to bestow upon them.

A Look Around lone Valley.

Any lover Of the beautiful in rural scene.
ry, should visit lone Valley and see il as it
is now. The peach trees are in full bloom,
and all things indicate the prosperity of the
husbandman. From Lyons peak, Ga hill to
the west Of the residence Of DR.. Lyons, and
at the foot of the valley one can obtain a
charming view for miles around. Spread out
before you like map are the rich farming
lands bordering Dry, Sutter and Mule creeks,
the @ ranch with its costly improvements
and aourshing orchards-the Luther farm,
the residence Of Judge Carter-Mr. Edwards
place. and other farms whose owners should
be proud Of their possessions. In the delta,
where the three creeks meet, is the produc-
tive and highly cultivated farm of DR.. Lyons;
Mr.. Martins extensive ranch is below, on
Drycrcek; and to the south are the improve
ments in jackson Valley including the farm
Of Mr.. Jones.
The following is list of the farms in lone
valley proper; furnished by one of the far

Volcano Items.

SPLENDID YIELD FROM QUARTz.--0n Sun
day last, at Volcano, there was exhibited a
cigar box almost filed with gold. There
was twenty-five pounds Of the precious metal
with near $4,000-he product Of only
ttcentytfre tons Of quarts, quantity of rock
that would be crushed by a first class mill in
"a or 36 hours. IL was from the lode of
Messrs. Reichling, Theurkauf & Shumer, a
mile or so above Contrcras Amador side,
and the FIRST crushing in their new arastra
mill. The rock was taken as it came, with
out selection, and there is any quantity OF
the same sort left. 1t is unnecessary to say
that the proprietors have a sure thing Of all
the money they want. Gentlemen you have
our congratulations.
CHISAMEN AT VOLCANO Arrangements
have been made between some citizens at
this place and the Chinese houses of San
Francisco, by which a large number of Ce-
lestials are to be set at work, mining in the
Volcano Valley There are already several
hundred in town, and many more coming.
Until recently, Chinaman was seldom seen
about the town, but now there VIII doubtless
be 'grand rush" from various parts of the
State.
SPASGLE & GAvER.-This old and well
known Volcano firm has dissolved, and many's

revert to the past, and sigh for the good old
days when Spanglc & Carer kept the Res
taurant ON the Plaza. Success to you gem

an interesting advertisement in this issue.
MLTARY.-The members Of the company
at Volcano, under Capt. Hatton, are drilling
perseveringly, and we presume will in short
time be ready for their shooting irons"
The Company is composed of good men, and

There may be some slight errors in this, but
it is nearly exact Thus you see the valley
contains over five and quarter square miles,
the value Of which you can judg by the fact
that Mr.. Dosh recently purchased his rs
acres of Col. Boileau for $3T00 Yet all
this, aud more. is claimed by one man, whose
only right is based on the uncertainty and
moieabiiity Of the law, aud whose avarice is
excited by the successful results Of Ameri-
lean industry If the "powers that be"
could view the country from Lyons peak they
never could decide that claim with the hills
for a boundary on the east, Included lone.
If the late frosts do no injury, this valley
will produce large supply of peaches and
grapes, and some other fruits, this season.
The village of lone is steadily being inn
proved and beautifed The Town Hall'
is completed and has been already used for
theatrical EXHIBITION, on which occasion there
was a large audience. 1t is good room for
such purposes.
In all industrial matters lone ranks in ad-
vance Of any inland village in the State
With first class Touring mills, good builders,
two wagon making and blacksmithing estab-
lishments that turn out the best quality of
work. and other mechanical operations, lone
is calculated to maintain her supremacy
Nothing tends more to give character to a
town than its Hotels and in this respect this
place is truly fortunate. The "Varanda,"
by j. w Gish, is the best hotel outside of
the cities, in the State. Every accommoda-
ton is to be found here that gentleman or
lady can require Mr.. Gish is an old ''news-
paper man" and the most popuar landlord in
the country The Irene House, by J. III.
Hickey, also good house where the travel
er receives every attention from the obging
host who never fails in giving satisfaction to
his guests.
