LIVE OAK SHAFT.-The claims of the Live
Oak Co., are situated near the cast gap of the
Sugar Loaf, about half mile from Nevada.
The company was organized about the first of
Nav. 1857, when the work was commenced.
For nine months the work was carried on with
out interruption, during which time the COM
pany had expended about SIS 900, without re-
ceving dollar in return. A shaft was sunk
10 the bed rock, depth of 220 feet, and from
thence tunnels were run to the outer edge of
the claims. One of these tunnels is 500 feet in
length. The gravel is drifted out by commen-
cling on the borders of the claims and working
in towards the shaft. Thirty-six men are en-
ployed in the drifts, and about 600 tubs of
gravel are raised in the course Of twenty-four
hours. The tubs will hold about as much as an
ordinary barrel, and the gravel pays on an av-
erage, about two dollars tub. A steam en-
gine is kept constantly running 10 lift the grav-
ell. and another engine is used to pump water
from the claims. Notwithstanding the heavy
expense of working these claims, the profits
during the past year have been immense.
There are eight shares in the company, and the
dividends Of each, after paying back the
amount originally invested in opening the
claims, have amounted to $l4, 4,000-making the
total net profits $ll2,000 Mr.. Mailman, to
whom VIC are indebted for the above, is of the
opinion that the claims will continue to pay
for the next eighteen months, as largely as
heretofore.

PANTHERs.-A gentleman living aear Santa
Rosa, discovered one evening recently, con-
siderable tumult among his flock of sheep. Go
ing among them to discover the cause. he found
couple of them with their throats cut and dy-
ing. Imagining this destruction to be the work
of wild animals he cut them open. and secreted
strychnine in their bodies. The next morning
he found the poison had done its work. Four
panthers. measuring not less than eight feet
from tip to tip, were discovered dead within a
few rods of where the sheep had been left.
