News FROM SIsKYoU COUNTY The Yreka
Chronicle, of Thursday, has the following
intelligence:
Hamburg Bar, Klamath Riuer.-With a
zeal and enterprise worthy of commentator,
an evening school has been established,
where, on alternate evenings, nearly the en-
tire community meet for mutual mental i'm
provement. A much more pleasant, yea,
profitable manner of killing time than
pursued in the early days of our country;
and we are glad to note, as indicative of a
better state of things, growing disposition
for such and similar institutions.
A District School has also been establish
ed and for the present located at johnson
Bar, Scott river where the youth, instead OF
running about untrammeled by parental
control, and allowed to mix with all classes,
where the vulgar, the obscene, and the pro-
fame, are always heard, and generally made
the deepest and more lasting impressions,
are, at least removed from these and it is to
be hoped may be taught that which may
benefit them in all future life-where they
may be fully educated, fully developed men
tally, morally, and physically.
The weather has been variable but all
agree that such cold weather is uncommon so
early in the season Mining operations have
been almost entirely suspended in the rivers
among those who still continue their work,
are Island Dam and the Eureka claims, near
Mead Bar, Klamath river. From the Island
Dam claim about $500 was taken out during
the week, Just past, and better prospects
ahead. The Eureka claim also pays well.
Houring JIH.-The large Touring mill
l., Il Of M.s.ra | II Stout
Il Co., of Yreka. is under favorable progres.
sion. The foundation, which is of stone is
already laid and the frame work. which is
very heavy and of durable character, is
nearly ready for erection When completed
the building will be two and half stories
high and the main portion 30X50 feet in size.
1t is designed for two run of Ourrs, which
will be driven by an excellent steam engine
Of % horse power, and capable of grinding
600 bushels Of wheat in "a hours
This mill will supply place in its peculiar
business which has long been demanded and
which is destined not only to do good busi
ness and a profitable one but doubtless, also,
viii be the pioneer to many Others of the
same character
Steam Fouadery and Turning Ldthe.-It is
encouraging to know that the energetic pro-
prietors of this admirable enterprise are car
rying on their work of building successfully.
The building is already up, and much of the
machinery in its proper place. The business
is one which the locality demands, and when
ready for operations, orders for work should
be given to it in preference to those of the
lower country.
Locate Your Land Many, in our farming
community, will be glad to know that the
agency for the location of School Lands is
again opened in Yreka. Mr.. Hills, the sub
Agent, has been to the General Agency, at
Sacramento, and hns already received per-
mission from the Department, for the loca-
ton of 10000 additional acres. Permission
may be granted for the location of more than
double this amount.
The MincS-Should the present open wea-
ther continue, in very short time, our min
ers will again, generally, resume their work.
Notwithstanding the unfavorable weather,
during the past two or three weeks, we hear
of profitable mining from different camps.
At Greenhorn, last week, a mining claim be-
longing to Mr.. Srhwatka, yielded, on three
different days, 800 80, and $l25, per day 5
labor In two months he expects to realize
at least $4,000.
There are many other good claims still, in
this once celebrated mining locality, among
which, is the Tucker claim, and gives promise
of being one of the best, if not the best, in
Greenhorn.
County TeasurH-On last Tuesday, Sheriff
Fair paid over into the County Treasury the
snug little sum of $4,000.
Roi5erH-Jacob Ellsaser, of this place, had
a gold watch taken from beneath his pillow
while asleep a few nights since, and upwards
of hundred dollars from the pocket of his
pantaloons. We are informed that there are
number of the light-fngered gentry float,
ing around in this community.
