Lucky SHoT-John Minear, a former resident
of Sonora, but row soournng in the mountains,
one day last week shot grizzly-tbe second one
by the way, he had killed during the week-which
rolled down the mountain some distance lodging
against ledge of quartz rock. While engaged in
sknning the animal his attention was attracted to
some broken pieces of the rock containing gold. On
further examination along the ledge, by knocking
off the moss, he made aware that he had found
lead of astonishing richness, which he at once
took possession of. Some specimens from the claim
we have seen-taken from the surface, and gold is
visible in profusion. This Is in the neignborhood
of the Baanister claim and on the famous " l3uchan-

ton and so unusually disposed (it being on the floor
resting its face, with the arms and legs doubled
underneath) that he determined to give nforma
tion to the Coroner before proceeding to bury it
He accordingly informed Justice Berry (acting Cor
oner) of the matter and jury was forthwith sum-
moned to investigate the case. After hearing the
evidence of such witnesses as were brought before
them, the jury agreed upon the verdict which ap
pears below, but one of the number being subse-

The Yellow Scourge

The bright and sunny South is again draped in
mourning. and the wall of woe, accompanied by
the guant form Of want, again arises in the fair
cities of many of the southern States Every arri- :
val by overland mails and ocean lines, brings ac
counts of the fearful ravages of the Yellow Fever
Fearful numbers are daily borne to the final resting
place of the dead and the frequent deathrattle ap
pals the stoutest hearts, The utmost efforts OF the
benevolent societies fail TO alleviate the calls of hu-
manity. Many are discharged from The hospitals
cured of the maady, but in destitute circumstances.
Some of these have been sent to their friends in
other States, but circular from the Chairman of
one of the relief committees states that despite the
utmost efforts of these charitable associations many
must perish from desttution. Cast forth without
money or friends, and unable TO help themselves.
they meet worse fate than death by the epidemic.
This is indeed appalling picture, and calculated
to excite feelings of commsseration in every benev
olent heart.
What is worse than all, however it is stated that
the Medical Faculty to have lost all faith in
any regular mode of treatment and thus are really
puzzled to know what to do The terrible ourge
still seems to be a mystery. 1t comes unbidden
and unexpected runs its awful course, bears away
its hundreds or thousands of victims and then dis
appears, sometimes for one, and sometimes for five
years. The Mobile Tribune, in the course of a
carefully prepared article upon the subject. says
that it long since to the conclusion, that the
origin, cause and mode of the propagation of yell
low fever just doubtful and uncertain ever.
1t says:
"All that is yet known of it, witt any certainty,
is that 1t Is mystery yet unsolved. 1t prevails
alike in wet weather and dry--among the swamps
and smells and sinks and cess pools of New Orleans
and upon the pure sands and sweet sea -breezes OF
Vera Cruz, or Pensacola. or Key West. No degree
OF cieanliness-no burning of tar firing of can
non can avertt when it is destined to come, and all
possible combinations of the miasma of swamps and
stagnant pools and the eXhalations of foul streets
fail to induce it when it is the Divine will that it
should not come. The streets of Norfolk were
never in better condition than in the terrible sum-
mer of 1855; and Mobile is always more cleanly
than usual. when it is visited by this disease, be
cause we ure always forewarned to prepare for it by
Its previous appearance in New Orleans"
Ii is probable that the October frosts have, ere
this, arrested the ravages of the fever.
