BRILL1ANT.-Uncle Edward Allisons Ball,
given last Friday evening at his well-known
ranch, is pronounced to have been decidedly
brilliant affair. In addition to an unusually
large attendance of ladies and gentlemen from
the civic walks of life, the candidates for Office
were out in their strength, which caused the
champagne corks to fly about lively.

SLUIcE RoBBING.-Pat. Synon furnishes us
with the subjoined information:
The claims of Messrs. Sears & Buhring were
visited by robber on Tuesday of last week, who,
it is supposed, abstracted gold from the sluice to
the amount of 500. Two watchmen were on
guard at the time-one at the upper, and the
other at the lower end of the sluice. 1t was the
lower end that was robbed. Twenty four boxes
were emptied of their contents The watchman
on duty at the time and place mentioned, was
discharged and another employed in his stead
The first night of the new watchman's vigil, the
adroit robber made second visit to the lower
end of the sluice, and succeeded, unobserved, in
scooping from the rifles, amalgum to the amount
of perhaps 500. Two or three nights after, the
same locality was third time visited by the rob-
Der. The watchman this time had his eyes about
him. He observed the scoundrel crawling down
the sluice on his hands and knees, and when he
arrived within forty PAGES of wherethe watchman
stood, that gentleman let drive with his gun,
which, unfortunately contsined nothing but
small bird-shot. The robber dropped his theiving
implements and fed. The implements were
picked up subsequently, and from their peculiar
pattern, are believed to be of Chinese manu-
facture. No clue has yet been discovered lead
ing to the detection of the guilty party.

MINING ITEMs.-Living in the midst of miners
and mining claims, we yet find it more difficult
to obtain reliable news as to what is being done
an the diggings, than do those residing farther
off. The owners Of claims have a terror of
sluice robbers, which makes them silent, and the
desirable information is not easily learned from
os.-er sources In mining communities, the sub
ject possesses no general interest at best Every
one is supposed to know, on general principles,
that the usual large amount of gold is abstract
ed from all the noted localities; and even when
the clean up shows two or three thousand dollars
of an increase, there is nothing in that event to
create particular surprise. The margin for get
ting into any one of the rich leads in which this
neighborhood abounds, or of washing on the bed
rock, which sometimes yields almost fabulous
amounts, admits this fattering variation.
Occasionally an item of news comes to our
ears, as, for instance, Messrs. Sears and Buhring
are just beginning to pierce the rich vein in their
claims. On Saturday they took out upwards of
$4,000. On the same day, after an eight days,
run with three pipes, the Knickerbocker claims
yielded 81, ,2O6-

AMAZINGLY PRoLrF1c.-On Tuesday, Mr..
George d. Dornin, Postmaster and Telegrapher
of this place, exhibited to us a limb broken from
an apple tree in his garden by the immense
weight of its fruit. 1t was twenty-five inches in
length, and contained forty apples, none of which
were less than two inches in diameter, while
some were much as three and four. The
weight of the limb and its fruit was ten pounds.
The tree is of the Northern Spy" variety.
This remarkable production may be seen at
the fruit stand of Messrs. Schardin & Brust.
At the same place may also be seen an apple
grown in Col. Abbey's garden, weighing some
thing over pound and sprig of plums, from
the garden Of Mr.. George Moore, which is equal
ly as much of curiosity as the apple bough ex-
hibited By Mr.. Dornin which, by the way, it very
much resembles, so far as the enormus quantity
of the yield on so limited space is concerned
We understand that the tree from which this
Sough was taken, is, on all its branches nearly
as abundaatiy supplied with plums as that on
cxhSbition.

ATTEMPT AT SLUICE RoBBING.-On Thurs
day night of last week, the Fairchild claims, on
San Juan Hill, were visited by one of the light
fingered gentry. Mr.. Joy was on guard at the
time, with gun containing twelve buckshot.-
He fred at the robber, who fed. Nine of the
buckshot entered one of the stanchions of the
sluice near where the robber was discovered.
The other three could not be traced. 1t is sup
posed he carried. them off in some part of his
worthless body.
These visitations of robbers to the sluices are
growing frequent again, as they were about this
time last year. 1t becomes those interested to
keep sharp look out for them.
