Mr.. Eaitor:-You may, perhaps, ere this

| promised some time since to post you in
regard to the passing events in our noun

capped Sierra Nevadas, will now proceed
to the fulfllment of the same. am some

the character of public chronicler. Too
many correspondents, of different mining
localities, from personal or other motives
often exaggerate in regard to the extent and
richness of their particular mining district.
This is wrong-it deceives and mi>leads our
fellow men, and often causes disappointment
and sorrow to those who, upon tho impulse
of the moment, spend their all in repairing
to the place represented as exhaustless in its
resources. shall always endeavor to give
YOU facts, to write the truth. no more no
less, and what may say in regard to our
mines NAV be relied upon as such. Or
mines need no puff we believe the quantity
and quality of our gold will sustain the repu
ation of our divide. have not time in
this to refer to individual mining enterprise,
but will leave that for another occasion.
We have fourishing Division of the
Sons of Temperance at this place, and over
half of our population are members. AT
the commencement of the present quarter
the following officers were elected and in
stalled for Last Chance Division, No. 49,,

The correspondence of Memo came too
late for the last issue. We hope to hear
frequently from him in regard to events in
that important mining section Of the county.

EE State Prison McCauley has sign ed
his intention to the Controller of State Of
APPLYING to the Sixth District Court for a
mandamus to compel him to draw warrant
on the State Treasury in his favor for 1915
900. The reason of this is the late decision
of the Supreme Court favorable TO McCauley
in the State Prison business.
We do not know what the Controller will
do, but we will 60 our last peso that State
Treasurer Fndley won't come out with a

young fruit, and the young apple, plum,
pear and apricot trees, will give an ample

crop upon bearing trees will be abundant.
