Further Notice

HNHE above statement of II. St. Clair to the
L effect that he can prove partnership ex-
isting between himself and me. in carrying on
the Preston II Snivey Quartz MILL is untrue
that is, so far as proving it by honest testimony.
He has acknowledged to the undersigned that
there never has been partnership existing be-
tween us, and has admitted to Mr.. Clement, that
we were not partners. and asked Mr. C.'s advice,
telling him that he believed he would publish q
card similar to the one his name is signed to
above, so rs to counteract the effect of my card,
and then leave these parts, as he was conscious
that he had criminated himself in the statements
he had made. f. MILES,
The above statement in relation to the CONVEX
sation between II. ST. Clair and myself is correct.

FATAL MINING ACCIDENT AT Iowa HILL
THREE MEN K1LLEp.-The famous Jamison
claim at Iowa Hill has just been the scene
of sorrowful disaster. This claim has been
worked for number Of years, both by tun-
nels and upon the hydrulic plan, and at the
time of the accident, the workmen we're
piping" down the bank, which is hundred
feet or more in hight. On Thursday, a
citizen of Iowa Hill, in passing the claim
about noon, noticed that the men were not
at work; and further discovering that an ex-
tensive slide of the bank had occurred, he
became painfully anxious that the workmen
had been buried beneath it. The alarm was
Immediately given, and force soon collect
ed, that after seven hours work recovered
the bodies of the unfortunate men-three
in number-who were the only ones at work
at the time of the accident. Their names
were Henry Lubke, German, famiiary
known as "Dutch Henry" partner in the
claim; Thomas Jones, from England; and
Samuel Mead, from New York. The latter
were in the employ of the company.
We are informed that some who had
previously noticed the ba.k, were apprehen-
sve of slide, as the bottom of the bank
was pierced with number of tunnels, giving
it honey -combed appearance, but the pro
prietors considered the bank secure as
light strata Of qucksand that had been found
troublesome, was believed to be worked out,
and therefore no danger was to be apprehen-
ded.

Parished in the Snow.

Mr.. Joshua Naples, proprietor of ranch
near the summit of the Henness Pass, per-
ished in the snow about the 4th of April,
and bis body was found on Friday last.
From Mr.. A. E. Baiy, who came down from
the ranch on Monday, we gather the follow
ing particulars: 1t appears that Mr.. Naples
left bis house on the morning Of April 4th,
for Sierra Valley, about ten miles distant, to
get some -four. He left at the ranch man
named Benz. Sharp who was in his employ,
and another man who was confined with the
rheumatism but whose name we did not
learn. He reached Sierra Valley in the
forenoon, got his flour, loaded it on sled,
and started back about noon, while violent
storm was raging. He did not return, how
ever, and for twenty three days the two men
remained at the ranch ignorant of his fate.
1t seems that Sharp refused to 60 out in
search of him, the other man was unable to
walk, and the heavy fall of snow having
closed the route, there was no travel 10y the
place for three weeks. On Friday last, Mr..
Baiv, who had been herding cattle for Ma
pies, made his way to the ranch, aud imme-
diately starting out In search, found the body
of Naples at the hay-press, within hun
dred and fifty yards Of his house, where he
had frozen to death. He had left the flour
on the way; standing the sacks up by tree,
and had even taken off his snow shoes. lie
must have been bewldered by the storm, for
when within a few rods of his house, he
turned from the direct course, and reaching
the hay press sat down in the snow and
died. Mr.. Baily had the body decently
buried and left on Sunday morning for Bear
river where Mr.. Naples family are residing,
to break the sad news to them. Mr.. Naples
was about thirty-two years of age, and was
formerly from New London county, Connec-
! ticut Neyuda Democrat of May 2nd.
Mr.. Naples has long been resident Of
Placer county-his place of residence being
on Antelope Ravine. He went over the
mountains last fall, with stock, selected the
above named location, and we believe in
tended residing permanently there. During
the winter his family have been stopping
with friends on Bear river, in Sutter county.

Bv the arrival of the bark Aurifera, SO

Press to March the 7th, from which we
make the following extracts: ,.s ...
"The news from Canton is very alarming,
and is Of such nature as may tend to com.
plicate political matters at this critical
juncture. An organized body of rebels, or
marauders. suddenly beseiged the city Of
Yze Wooey, in this province, and at no
great distance from Canton. Neither their
standard nor their leader are known, but it
is probable they are a body from Keormgri.
We shall doubtless learn more about them
in few days, when the people shall have
recovered from the fright which the sudden
appearance of this force naturally caused.
Almost simultaneously with this ncursion,
there has been rising of the people in the
neghborhood of the White Cloud Noun
tains, Immediately in the rear of the city Of
Canton. The cause of the rising we can,
not learn. The movement is stated to be
exclusively confined to the people Of the dis
trict. They do not seem to have any poit-
ical grievance, and are possibly impe'led to
revolt from the scarcity of food. 1t does
not appear that any connection exists be
tween them and the body that has captured
Yez Wooey. They have killed few Of the
gentry, expelled the authorities, and have
raised the standard of rebellion"

previously voted, or $4,000 in all, to buy
out his State Prison contract, and for all

This amount he will accept, and release the
Prison on the 18th inst-if the Board Of
Examiners agree to allow the amount
which It is expected Of course they will do
The granting of the extra 5000 we think
was altogether wrong, and we are glad to
know the entire Placer county delegation
voted against it. 100000 was ample com

officers If good men are selected, the Pris-
