between the two interests, which ought to
lead to such an adjustment of the present
dispute as will prove mutually advantageous.
Evidently, THE miners are convinced that
they cannot afford to pay existing water
rates, and Will Motif they can possibly avoid
it. Already the Eureka Lake Company has
begun the survey of ditch from the old
Grizzly ditch at Oak Tree Ranch to Sweet
land and Birchville, and has contracted to
run water to those places, if not to San
Juan Hill, as soon as the canal can be cut

FROM THE EAsT.-The most important
news from the Atlantic States is the success
of the Republican party in the New York,
NewJersey, Massachusetts and Wisconsin
elections; and the conviction and sentence to
death of Cook, Green, Coppie and Copeland
for their criminal participation in the Harp
er's Ferry affair.
From Europe the most important intelli-
gence is that Louis Napoleon was urging
Sardinia to assent to the Villa Franca treaty
and the return of the Austrian Dukes 1t is

INDIAN WAR NoRrH-The Sacramento

INDIAN WAR NoRTH-The Sacramento
Standard of Thursday says:
Gen. Kibbe returned from the scene of the
late Indian hostilities, yesterday, and re-
ports the troubles at an end. He succeeded
in capturing and bringing in some five or six
hundred of the Pit river Indians, and those
OF adjoining tribes-the most ferocious and
warlike of all the California Indians. Those
captured and those who surrendered, COM
prised, with the exception of dozen or
twenty, the entire of the tribes who have
been engaged in the late disturbances The
General left them at Red Bluff, having come
down for the purpose of an interview with
Mr.. McDuffie, the Superintendent of Indian
affairs for California, and to endeavor to
have him place the Indians upon some Res
ervation removed from the northern part of
the State. His reason for not taking them
to Nome Lackee was, that they would pro-
baby all escape, and soon find their way
back to their old homes, to commence again
their depredations. Gen. Kibbe represents
the men as muscular and wellformed, many
of them being six feet in hight, and weigh
ing over two hundred pounds. He brought
with him three of the boys Of the Pit river
tribe to let them see the number of the pale
faces and to report to their brethren on
their return. He took them last night to
witness the comicalities of the minsrels now
performing in this city

A MoNoMANfAc.-Dr. Albert White, who

announces that he has made discovery
which he calls the s.Inttllectual magnetic tel

he AYERS, he can establish communication
between people on different continents, and
also between the inhabitants of our world
and those of all the planets of the universe.
He also states that he has discovered a
method of travelling in safety to any orb in

MUTToN.-We mean to repeat a thousand
times or at least until what we say has some
effect upon countrymen, that pound of
lean, tender, juicy mutton can be produced
for half the cost of the same quantity of fat
pork; that it is infinitely better food, especi-
ally in the summer season, and that those
who eat it become more muscular, and do
more work with greater ease to themselves
than those who eat fat pork. We know no.

Road to Utah via Eureka.

lOn Saturday last, pursuant to notice, the
citizens of Nevada held a meeting to con-.
slider the best means for connecting their
town with the eastern slope settlements by
wagon road. Judge Searles was Chairman
of the meeting and I. H. Rolfe and n P.
Brown, Secretaries. After some discussion
as to routes, Mr.. Anderson offered series
ofresolutions instructing our representatives
in the next legislature to urge an appropri-
alton for the proposed road, and proposing
to have survey made at the public expense,
by subscription. Other speakers thought
an appropriation could not possibly be OBJ
tanned, and the resolutions were not
adopted. Another series, offered by Mr..
Meredith, recommending the Eureka, Jack
sons Ranch and Henness Pass route, apd
the immediate organization of company
under the general Incorporation act, with
capital of $3.50 divided into shares of $50
each, was unanimously adopted. The fol-
lowing gentlemen were appointed a. COM
mittee to organize the incorporation, as We
learn from the Democrat R. Rafford and R.
B. Moyes, of Eureka; Henry Meredith, of
Nevada; Alex. Fraser, of Bridgeport Geo.
Roberts, of Grass Valley; J. w. Denison,
of Bloomfield; S. NJ. Gillian, of Rough &
Ready; W. W. Wixom, of Washington; JOS
Gardner, of Little York
The resolutions adopted designate the
18th of March next as the period for the
completion of the road and propose that it
shall then be offered to the county, to be-
come public road, for sum equal to the
cost of construction, with twelve per cent.
added. They also propose the procurement
OF Legislative authorization for the collec-
ton from the county at large Of the $4,000
which it is supposed the road will cost.
We are glad to see the citizens of Nevada
act so vigorously in a matter which concerns
them so nearly; but think it hardly fair for
them to wish to saddle the entire cost of
work meant chiefly for their benefit upon the
community at large. Bridgeport township,
which is only the third in the county in point
OF wealth, population and influence, has
alone subscribed $4,000 out of 100000 for
the construction of road that will not ben
efit her citizens near so much as the Eureka
road will Nevada. The latter enterprise
will undoubtedly advantage, in some mea-
sure, the entire county, and particularly
that portion directly along its route. 1t will
benefit our town. Believing so, we were
the first to propose it, and shall continue to
aid it all in our limited power. Let Nevada
be more generous and just, and trust to vol
untary subscriptions and the energy of her
cwn business men; instead of to schemes
looking to an increase of the public burdens,
which are enerous enough already.

ETHIOPIAN DRANA.-An ebony dame at
French Corral did not like certain demon

man towards her, and for that reason pushed
him over. He began an offensive attack
upon her with club, so we are told, which
was taken away from him whereupon the
dark Amazon pitched into him with stick
quite vigorously. For this she was taken
before the justice, fined $40, and afterwards
$40 more for contempt in abusing the court.

Since the cessation of rain mining opera
tions have been actively resumed on the
lower part of the Ridge, and we learn that
most of the companies which are washing
are obtaining excellent yields. Some claims
in the San Juan, Sweetland and Birchville
Districts are allowed to lie idle on account
of -nonlreduction in the price of water
These will probably not be worked again
until the Introduction of cheap water by the
Eureka Lake Company. Other claims, es-
pecially at Cherokee, are prevented from be-
ing worked by the recent cold nights, which
have frozen them up andchecked the supplies
of water. Hydraulic mining in freezing
weather is severe business. The deep
chasms that have been piped into the north
ern sides of mountain spurs, which frown
upon deeper canons, are almost sunless, and
the freezing process goes on there continual
ly. The spray that dashes back from the
bark becomes ice where it falls, whether
upon man or inanimate object. The earth
is frozen, except where it is kept in motion
by a flood Of water, and the miner shivers
as he stands directing the pipe, apprehen-
sively viewing the bank and musing upon
the desolate scene his own labor had chiefly
made.
AT Columbia and Kennebec Hills, as we
stated last week, washing has been resumed;
and by fortnight hence it is thought thirty
or forty parties will be engaged in it. The
town of Columbia Hill is rapidly filing up
with busy population.
At Badger Hill the miners will hold a
meeting next Saturday evenings the 18th
inst, to revise their local laws. Mr. Sheets
is about to try the experiment Of crushing
sluice tailings by machinery, using the water
of the sluice as motor, something after
the manner suggested by the PRESS many
months ago.
We have refrained lately from publishing
the amounts taken from claims in the differ
ent districts, as they have come to eur knowl-
edge because of the prevalence of sluice
robbing. The publication of good yields is
thought to be direct temptation to thieves
