$500 to $1,000 week YIELD is not uncommon
The claim is worked back to the road, and in a
few months more the road will have TO work in
the same direction, as the owners intend crossing
it the coming winter. Mr. Beabm, whose marri-
age is announced elsewhere, occupies the old
company cottage on the hill. Out of the four
members of the company our friend McCampbell
only remains to follow the example Of his part
ners. There may be time enough, Mac, but de-
lays are dangerous"
CLUBBING SHOOTING AND BREECHEs-RENDING.
An affair of the above nature occurred in Main
street on Tuesday night, which nearly proved Sc
rious. An old grudge existed cane was
brought to bear over the head and shoulders of a
second person, who, in return, brought Derrin-
ger pistol to bear on the man with the cane.
Just then JEFF. of the ST. Charles Hotel, happened
to be passing, and the half-ounce projectile, un-
Intentionally, passed through JEFF. S pants about
six inches below the vest buckle. 1t wasn't pleas
ant TO think Of JEFF. says yet enjoys hearty
laugh whenever the affair is mentioned.
HIS FRIENDS DIDN'T ST1cK.-Passing the Jail
the other day, we were hailed by some person
who seemed i'll at ease in that rickety domicil.
We were surprised to find Collins there, who hav-
ing indulged in the pastime of " lamming' a
Chinaman pretty severely, was locked up in de-
fault of 500 fine. Collins thinks it hard to be
kept in Jail the 4th, for so trivial a cause,
but glories in the prospect of being released be-
fore election. He says his Irish friends deserted
him in the trying honr-they had "nary red' TO
invest that way
A Coon OLD MAN.-Mr. Camille Gross, who
is proprietor Of the "Travclcr's Retreat" at the
wagon road junction, on Weaver creek, has erec-
ted fine barn, recently, with accommodations
for any number of animals. Mr.. Gross history
is very interesting one, and at some future time
our readers may have an opportunity to know
more OF the old mans past life. Give him call
you who journey that way; you will always be
received with a kind word and hearty welcome
to his humble home, where the old gentleman
and his kind lady take pleasure in doing good
to others"
Evans BAR.-Alexander Stiller, the trader, has
bought ranch, which be endeavored to show us,
but which was not discoverable, further than
about one-fourth acre of potatoes, which are
growing the wrong way. AS near as we remem-
her, there are seven reservoirs on the ranch
Johnson DeGraff Il Co. are making large money :;
$500 to $1,000 a week is not unusual. Peterson
q Feick have not been able to work until within
the past two weeks, on account of high water in
wheel. Other claims there pay well all the time.
The claims are all lasting.
MIsREPREsENTED.-Mrs. William Todd, of the
Toddvile Hotel, sends us word that report has
been circulated to the effect that no music was
engaged for the Fourth of July Ball, and also
that no pains was being taken to get up supper
for that occasion. The report is false. AS good
music as can be obtained here is engaged and we
are aware that extra tronbe and expense has
been incurred to prepare supper which cannot
be excelled Persons who have attended like
occasions at the TOddville Hotel, know that the
proprietor and his lady will provide good sup.
per at any expense.

A NASTY PLAcE.--The cross street running from
Main to Centre, through Wood 8 old corall is q
