Democrat of Wednesday:
New QUATz MrLL.-The mill of the Iowa
Quartz Mining Co., situated on the south fork
OF Poorman's creek, two miles east of Eure-
ka, has been completed, and commenced to
crush quartz on Thursday last. The mill is
run by steam power, has eight stamps, and is
said to be one of the best in the State 1t is
erected in the immediate vicinity of the Nor.
ris lead, which has been thoroughly tested
and known to be one of the richest in the
county. Several hundred tons of the rock
was crushed last summer, which averaged
sixty dollars ton. The mill and lead are
owned by Messrs, Morris, Power, Healy,
Connolly, Carr and Reynolds, who are known
as the Iowa Quartz Mining Co.
KnLED.--A melancholy and fatal accident
occurred at Moore's Flat, on Saturday, Sept
25th, resulting in the death of Mr.. Charles
Doe, formerly of Rutland county, Vermont
The deceased was at work in some mining
claims, where a shaft had been sunk to a
depth of hundred and fifty feet. While
standing on a board which had been laid
across the shaft, the board broke and the un-
fortunate man was precipitated to the bottom
An iron bar, which fell into the shaft at the
same time, was run through his body, enter
ing the abdomen and coming out at the back.
lie was brought to the surface as soon as
possible, and survived about two hours when
he expired.
BRUTAL AssAuLr-An elderly lady named
Davis was brutally knocked down, yesterday,
in the Brooklyn House, on Broad street, by
one Tim Murray. Mrs. Davis received sew.
eral severe but not dangerous wounds upon
the head, from the club used by her drunken
assailant Justice Smith inaugurated his iu.
d cial term by binding the fellow over to the
next Grand Jury, in one thousand dollar
bonds.
QUARTZ MAoHINERY.-Mr. A. J. Doolittle,
of Grizzly Hill, in this county, has recently
received a patent from Washington, for an
Improvement in quartz mill machinery. The
invention consists in employing flat springs
to which the stampers are connected, for the
double purpose of guiding the stampers and
increasing the force of the blow. 1t further
consists in so arranging the battery that the
finer pieces of quartz can pass out so that the
large pieces are always exposed to the full
force of the blow. From an examination of
the drawings, shown us by Mr.. DooIittle, we
should judge that the Improvement might be
used to advantage in quartz mills.

MURDER NEAR SoNoRA--A singular murder
occurred at Sonora, Saturday night, I'd inst
man 10y the name of Dunn owned ranch
eight miles from Sonora. and leaving for
Fraser river. he placed his property there in
charge of Thos. Casserdy, and boarded his
wife and child at a hotel in Sonora until his
return. A few days since, Dunn arrived in
Sonora, having become dishenrtened with
Fraser river prospects. He rode out to his
ranch, and then sent Casserdy to Sonora
with Il wagon to bring his (Dunn's) wife and
child to the ranch. Casserdy did as direct
ed, and driving back with Mrs. Dunn and
child he endeavored to get in the back door,
the usual way of ingress, but finding it lock-
ed he went around the house to the front
door, when Dunn met him, and fired his re-
vover at him, and placed six balls in Casser-
dys body, killing him instantly. Dunn went
to Sonora and gave himself up to the custo.
dy of the Deputy Sheriff, but before steps
had been taken to place him under bonds he
escaped. and has not been caught. What is
very singular concerning this deed is, Mrs
Dunn and child have not been seen or heard
Of since the murder, although Dunn says his
wife was present at the shooting Dunn was
formerly carpenter in Stockton, and mar
ried his wife in this city Various reasons
are assigned for the murder, but they are
evidently mere guess work Dunn is repre-
sented as being "a desperate man. There is
not a little anxiety concerning the fate of his
wife and .-Stochton argus Oct 8.

Abuse of the Press.

The Bulletin and Alta, in San Francisco,
are engaged in a most disgraceful personal
warfare in which the very lowest billings.
gate is indulged, dd ndusedn Not long ago,
the editors of two other papers, outside of
San Francisco, were calling each other "liars "
"scoundrels" and the like. The S. F. Herald,
which is one of the ablest and most dignified
journals in the Union, thus conn ents on the
course of the Alta and Bulletin:
There Is this the literature of the Pacific
coast2 Is this the language which is to be
read aloud at the hearthstone2 Is this the
intellectual food for which this country Ian
guishes? Is this the specimen of California
talent which we take pride in sending home
by the steamer2 If the answers be in the
affirmative, we have only to say that we have
made mistake in the selection of editors for
our daily journals. Better send to ST. Giles,
in London, or the Five Points in New Y ork,
for tn hlse whose duty it will be to mould
correct and purify public sentiment From
such sources alone can be drawn q supply of
the material which we require. According
to their own showing, the conductors of the
newspapers in this city are the lowest of the
low, and are better qualified to labor on the
public works than to labor for the social and
moral improvement of their readers. Badin-
age apart we believe that no better evidence
could be adduced of the utter degradation of
the press of this city, than these extracts
extracts for the production of which even in
the emasculated form in which we present
them, we feel it incumbent upon us to apollo
gise to our readers. 1t has been the habit Of
our journals to sneer at the Oregon newspa-
pers for the coarseness and vulgarity of their
comments, and structures upon each other !;
but the Oregon press has never descended to
the depths in which those who have assumed
to act as their censors may now be found. 1t
has not always been 50. Some years ago the
press Of San Francisco was characterized by
an entire absence of gross and filthy personal
ty. 1t was high toned and gentlemanly, and
i'll this respect might be instanced as an ex-
ample for the press of older and more steady
communities. The public acts of public men
were discussed with boldness, vigor and abil-
ity. The moment a public journal passes
that limit, it is converted into vehicle for
the qualification of personal malice, and rep
utation can no longer exist except by the
sufferance of every malignant scribbler who
10y accident finds himself in command of
types and presses. We have fallen upon evil
days. If measures be not adopted to check
the flood of billingsgate and low vitiupera-
ton which is daily poured forth by the press,
our name will be rendered hearsay and a
reproach among civilized men, Our citizens
have the remedy in their own hands. They
are, to certain extent responsible for the
continuance of the system. Let them act in
time.

BLooMEE DRESSES FOR FARMERS WIVES

behalf of Bloomerism:

TehRnaa RnpeI.

We clip the following from the Red Bluff.
Beacon, of Wednesday:
On Monday, the colt race came off, as per
announcement.
First Day-Two year olds, mile heats: two
best in three Purse, $S5O-10 per cent. en-
trance, three to enter and two to start.
Jake Henderson entered bay colt, Jim, .
years old.
Saml Neal entered sorrcl colt, Solomon,
years old.
John james entered sorrel filly, Fanny
Gale, years old.
W. H. Williamson entered sorrel colt, bv
Belmont out of Maria Downing, years old.
A e. St John entered sorrel colt, Ante
lone, years old
A. G. Tonnes entered bay colt, Rather.
w. G. Shepherd entered brown colt, Blue
Buck.
The first heat was won by Henderson's
Jim but Shepherds Blue Buck came in a
head on the last two heats, and took the
money. Time-2;4, lie, 2:3O.
Owing to some bad arrangement on the
part Of the judges, or a misunderstanding
amongst the riders, they got a very unequal
start. in fact, the whole thing was but little
better than farce. Mr. Toomes' colt, which
was favorite with many, did not get off at
all, whilst the one that did eventually win,
was distanced, it is said, on the first heat,
over one hundred feet This, it seems, was
almost a necessary result, being a colt race,
all were expecting to see them fly the track,
throw their riders, jump the fence, or run,
"hither and yon," as friend of ours expressed
At, and no one appeared to care who beat.
1t was the opinion of many bystand
ers that Henderson's colt would have won
the race had not dog jumped at him on the
second round, and frightened him from the
course. AS there is some dissatisfaction in
regard to the result of this race, citizens
purse, of 800, has been made up to be run
for by the beaten colts, on next Friday at .
o'clock.

How THE TELEGRAPH OPERATEs.-A ribbon
ofpaper is unrolled from a hollow cylinder
or drum by train of clockwork, and as it is
unrolled, sharp style, magnetically directed,
lndents series of dots or lines upon the pa

for an instant, as the paper is dragged be-
meath, DOT is impressed. When it is kept
down for little more than an Instant, a
heightened line or DASH is left on the onward
