SIsKIYou.--Kimball's Olympic Circus per-
formed at Yreka on Monday and Tuesday a
ranch on Horse Creek will raise $4,000 worth
of produce this year, the Union says. 1t is the
property of c. H. Pickens. Thos Masterson is

Mr.. Hazen had $50 and some clothing stolen,

SHAsrA.-Thc Fourth was properly celebrated
at Horsetown and Texas Springs-the Germans
celebrated in Shasta. Two prisoners, Miller and
Walton, broke from the county Jail during re-
cent circus performance. The steamer Anna,
owned by the Cal. S. n. Co.. reached the mouth
of Clear Creek on Il recent trip, and the Courer
believes that sufficient money can be Immediate
ly raised in that town to make the river navgable
between the mouths of Clear and Middle Greeks,
and petition to that effect has been forwarded
to the Steam Navigation Company, if they will
superintend the work. The Courier concludes /:
1T is low estimate to say that their tonnage to

per week, or, we will say, H,400 tons per year.
At present, freight from Red Bluffs to Shasta is
$50 per ton. If the Company run boats to the
mouth of Middle Creek, they could afford to bring
freight for $40 per ton. At this rate on the ton
mage for one year the Company would realize the
very handsome sum of $4,000, besides saving
exactly that amount to the consumers This
$l4i,OO0 would pay the Company at the rate OF
per cent. per month upon SG00,0O0 worth OF
stock-upon q sum sufficient to build twenty such
boats as are required for the trade"
