DR.. D. DUsTIN.-This gentleman,
Who formerly resided at French Corral,
and once represented Nevada county in
the Legislature, is now living at Syca-
more, Illinois, where he is engaged in a
general merchandising business. The
Doctor has many warm friends in this
vicinity who will be glad to hear about
him. We have received copy of the
Sentinel, which contains the Doctors
Advertisement and the following editorial
notice: CDR. Dustin was formerly a
practicing physician. He has recently
come to town, and is rapidly making
friends. We have set him down on our
listof practical, thorough-going, common
sense fellows" Fortune and happiness

County TREASURER An account
of the investigation into the affairs of
this officer will be noticed in our column
Of county news, though in this instance
public rumor has forestalled the press,
the main facts of the case being already
known.
1t is not proper, or generous, at this
early day to pronounce upon the guilt
or innocence of the officer in question.
He has been presented by the Grand
Jury on several counts, and the real ma
ture of his mal-feasance will legally ap-
pear in due time. Let us not be precip-
itate in our judgments. There is, as
yet, no evidence going to show anything
like direct dishonesty, or an intention
to embezzle, on the part of the Treasu-
rer. His practice Of Withholding IL
eeBses certainly justified investigation,
and requires explanation; and if worse
than careless disregard of the law with
eat criminal intent is proven, he will
doubtless not be shielded from justice.
he has been a popular, and in every
other respect, an efficient officer, and
has many friends who would gladly see
him come from this ordeal with honor
unspotted.

@Tho recent cold weather appears
to have been general throughout the
State. Even the coast and southern
counties have been visited by it. Snow
has fallen at points lower down in the
foothills than is common, yet has not
accumulated to any great depth high up
in the mountains. So far the winter
season has been more like what it is in
the Eastern States than our usually
mild rainy season.

THE MINES.
3. p. AVERY. EDITOR.

Cole & Stevens Ditch, which supplies
the Brandy City diggings with water, is
completely choked up with ice and fro
zen snow for distance of nearly eleven
miles, and will have to be dug out, la
Dor involving much loss of time and
money, before the miners can resume
operations. A great part of this ditch
is flumed, which circumstance increases
the difficulty of clearing it out. Previ-
GUS to the freezing water was plentiful,
and the miners were meeting with much
success.
CAMPToNvILLR.-Mining at this
locality, as atevery other in this section,
Is entirely prevented by the effects of the
cold weather.
The inhabitants are determined to be
cheerful, however, and have arranged
with Mr.. G. Amsbary for series of
dancing parties.
It was at this place, instead of at San
Juan, where there was majority of la
dies in the ballroom on late occasion.
1t is pleasant to see the mountain
towns keep up, in spite of storms, and
snow and ice, the warm social feelings
which these private parties indicate.
BUCKEYE HILL.-The sluices of
Evans & Co. at this place were robbed
of twelve or fifteen hundred dollars on
Wednesday night. The thieves did
their felonious work thoroughly, lifting
out all the false bottoms and cleaning
up the entire length of sluices.
SAN JUAN HILL.-Messrs. Moore &
Readshaw exploded another bank-blast
recently with better success than ever
before. A large quantity of dirt was
thrown down, aud the hard bank consid-
erably cracked. The employment of
gunpowder as an agent for procuring
large supplies of earth in hydraulic
diggings, is no longer an experiment; it
has become indispensable, and we look
to see it everywhere so ultimately. By
itsaid many hill heretofore pronounced
improbable may yield good wages.
In spite of the cold weather the fol-
lowing good yields are reported:
The Deadman Company cleaned up
rising $4,000; loves Company, 49,
$50; and the Bloomer Company, s6O4.
MoNrEzUMA.-This place is noted
for its rich drift diggiugs, which are
worked the year round. This week the
Irish Company from half days drift
ing obtained the large sum of 1882.

D9 One David Wand, of Saoramel

D@One David Wand, of Sacrament
to, thought he had reason to believe his
wife guilty Of infdelity with one of our
State officials, who is said to have writ
ten God with little "g." Instead of
thanking Heaven for the discovery and
quietly leaving Mrs. Wand, he endeav-
ored to kill her and then shot himself.
All the parties were alive at last ac-
counts, the afectionate wife waiting on
her affectionate husband.
