ORovmLE RAILRoAD.-The Butte Record,
after alluding to the extension of the Cal
fornia Central Railroad, from Folsom to Lin
coin, says:
The contractors on the road from this place
to Marysville, are manifesting determine
ton to have the cars running between the
two places at the earliest possible moment.
| The timber for trestle work, cuy erts and
bridges lie nearly all delivered along the line,
and will very soon be ready to receive the
ties and iron.
1t will require but a very short time to
complete the grading from the Wallace
Ranch Hill into town, when the ground be-
comes softened by the Fall rains We deem
it safe to predict that within year, this and
the Central road will be completed, when we
shall be in communication with Sacramento

MINING AccIDENTs--On Saturday afternoon
of last week blast of3S kegs of powder, was
exploded in the Knickerbocker claims, with the
usual effect. Shortly AFTER four men went into
the tunnel, which is $50 feet long, to resume
work on the shaft which the company is raising,
and were overtaken by foul air. "Iittle Jimmy"
and David Noonen, who had penetrated farthest,
felt the effects, and beat hasty retreat towards
the open air. In their flight they leapt over the
bodies of G. E. Benton and ]. E. Matteson, who
had become stupefed and fallen. The two first
named gentlemen were fortunate in getting out
of the tunnel. They gave the alarm, and several
others fastening to the spot, went into the tun-
hel at imminent risk, and brought out the
almost ife1ess bodies of Benton and Matteson.
Dr. Kelly was sent for, who administered medi-
cal relief, and has both the sufferers in fair
way of recovery.
On Monday, Anthony Wayne, who had been
employed raising the same shaft, persisted in
going into the tunnel, although strenuously ad-
*ised not to do SO. He had previously effected
small opening through which he could see day
light, at the upper end of the shaft, and agreed
with Henry Bart, that when he came under the
aperture, he would call to him through it, as an
evidence of his success in overcoming the bad
air. The latter waited for the sigmal from
Wayne until such time as he felt convinced
there must be something wrong. He then hasten
ed down to the mouth of the tunnel, and express
ing his fears to the balance of the workmen, in
duced them to tie rope round his body, and
holding the coil, permit him to go into the tun-
mel after Wayne. About $50 feet from the
mouth of the tunnel, he came upon Wayne, Sit
ting on the side of the sluce-box, to all appear
ance dead, and candle burning with long
light beside him. He seized the unfortunate
man in his arms, and fastened back with him to
the open air, where he arrived safely, although
not without suffering slightly himself from the
mephitic air which he was compelled to breathe.
Wayne revived, but in such sort as to render
it exceedingly doubtful whether he will sur
vive.

'LAsT HoPE."-A gentleman from Cherokee
informs that the projectors of the "Last
Hope" shaft are proceeding steadily with their
work, in daily expectation of arriving at the bed
rock, where they hope to find gold abundant.
They have penetrated distance of over fifty
feet, through gravel and sand, encountering
considerable water in their course. Some COM
plant is made, that the wealthiest citizens of
Cherokee are those who contribute the least
towards patronizing the enterprise, which. if
cessful, will prove of common benefit, and if
otherwise, will have the effect of greatly dis
couraging not only the towns-people, but every
dweller in that surrounding region.

ROAD BUILDING-Mr. Thomas Freeman has
constructed another fine piece of road, commenc-
ing at the top of the hill near the fume, half
mile or so this side of Sweetland, and traversing
the right-hand side of the hill, until
it strikes the little ravine reservoir, where it
crosses on substantial bridge, and joins the old
thoroughfare. This new cut avoids several
abrupt, sideling places, besides going round
lake of water which usually stands in the road,
and where there has always been great danger
of light vehicles breaking down. The new road
is perhaps quarter of mile in length, and one
of the finest we have seen any place in the
county.

FATAL SHOOTING AFFRAY.-The following
particulars of shooting affray which occurred
at the Grizzly Fort House, eight miles from this
place, on the Forest City road, Friday last, have
been furnished us by Mr.. Pat. Synon:
Mr.. John Meredith was occupying the Grizzly
Fort House, which belongs to Mr.. Simmons,
and was about to vacate it, taking with him GER
tain furniture claimed by Simmons. An angry
Simmons employed man named German to
assist him in preventing the furniture from being
carried off John Meredith was backed by his
brother David and third person, not known
All the parties were armed. Soon after the COM
mencement Of the difficulty, Simmons, thinking
"discretion the better part of valor," retired,
which he did bravely but rashly, discharging the
first pistol shot. This drew upon him the fire of
his adversaries. John Meredith's bullet entered
his left breast, producing mortal wound from
which German died about eight o'clock the same
evening. The ball from David's pistol grazed
his forehead, without doing any particular inju-
ry Subsequently John Meredith went to Dow
melville and delivered himself into the hands of
the authorities. Previous to his DEATH German
acquitted the Merediths of blame, and regretted
the part he had been induced to take in the af-
fray. Deceased was about 40 years of age, and
from Providence, Rhode Island.

SEVERE ACCIDENTAL quarrel occurred on
Saturday last, at the Miners Exchange, between
the proprietor, w. A. Jones, and young man
named VIM. Nolen, in which the latter, who was
considerably intoxicated at the time was severely
dealt with. He was knocked down by Jones,
kicked several times on the body, and once ter
ribly in the right eye, the vision of which, from
having previously been impaired, was entirely
destroyed. The retina of the eye was crushed in,
and shortly after the injury was inflicted, the
socket became infamed and gorged with coagu-
lated blood-rendering the unfortunate sufferer
pitiable sight to look upon. DIR. Ross treated
the case, and the patient is now doing we'll.
Jones, in his cooler moments, expressed great
sorrow for the commission of the act, and having
induced Nolen to withdraw complaint preferred
against him, entered into bond to indemnify
Nolen against loss of time and the expense of
medical services rendered.

"a VOICE HUsHED."-Jim Pettinger is gone
jugged He took his departure on Thursday
morning, in legal custody, to serve short term
of thirty days in the hotel de Jail, at Nevada,
where, it is to be hoped, his hours may be given
to such reflection as will produce radical
change in his future conduct. Briefly, Jim had
become insulting in his conduct lately to re-
spectacle citizens, in addition to his other chronic
vice of disturbing the public quiet at all hours of
the day and night, by the use of profane language
and clamorous outcries on the public streets,
which caused his arrest and trial as a public
nuisance. A jury found him guilty as charged,
and Justice Farquhar pronounced sentence as
above stated. He was rather pleased than other
wise, at the prospect of free grub and comfort
able quarters for the period OF time designated
His life for several years, has been one constant
round of debauch, vagrancy and vagabondizing-
with no home to shelter him from the inclemency
of the weather, nor friends to sympathize with
him in his depravity. The philanthropists would
find him an excellent subject upon which to
practice their good Offices, and it is sincerely to
be hoped they may look after him when his term
of Imprisonment expires.
