NEARLY CoNFLAGRATIoN.-Abou three
o'clock yesterday morning, our good citizens
were aroused from their sumbers by an
alarm of fire Uncle Charley Roberts was the
first, or one of the first, to make the discovery
and give the alarm. The fire occurred in the
rear of the Knickerbocker Saloon, and near
Holden's blacksmithshop. A number of
citizens were soon on the spot, and by their
united efforts, extinguished the flames before
they did much damages. The fire is sup
posed to have originated from burning en-
bers in an ash box.

No PERFoRMANCE.-Mr. Kenyon, the Ven
triloquist, was unable to give performance
last night, on account of being unable to
procure suitable room. He will return to
the town in a few weeks, when he hopes to
be able to redeem his advertised promise of
appearing before San Juan audience.

TO THE FRIENDS OF OUR

mined to support the Government in its

force the laws against the enemies Of the
Republic, are requested to meet at the

forming Republican Union Club.

Our Town AND TowNsHIP.-A general stroll
through our streets on Monday last, convinced
us that business was increasing, and that our
merchants and mechanics are in thriving condi-
ton. We noticed particularly that at the stores
of Messrs Hecht & Pratt, Joe Thomas, E. V.
Hatfield and R. Reamer, large quantity goods
were being put up, ready for shipment to the
miners scattered all over our hills and ravines
Some of them were destined to Pike City and
the neighborhood thereabouts. This looks like
business, and gives quite cheering effect to
the town.
Our mechanics are all as busy as bees, and
every department of trade appears to be in a
prosperous condition. Old houses are being
razed to the ground, and fine new buildings
erected in their stead. The saw and hammer
are heard in every part of our village from early
morn till dark night, denoting that our carpen-
ters are not idle.
The planking of Main street, on the south
side, still continues, and in few days will be
completed to the Yuba Canal Co.'s Ditch, in
front of Reamer's store.
Our Road Overseer is busily engaged in re-
and soon every avenue will be in excellent order
and travelable condition. The road leading
from San Juan to Cherokee is nearly completed,
and when finished will be the best mountain
county road in the State.
N. G.. Clark and Thomas Freeman, two gen.
tlemen who may be with truth styled the kings
of road making, are about completing their
Hills have been cut down and graded, bridges
and causeways constructed, hollows filled up, and
at many places rocks and stumps removed.
When this road is completed, the people of
Bridgeport Township can boast of their good
roads and of their energetic road makers.
Our miners, as general thing, are doing
admirably. Every clean up adds to their wealth,
and to the welfare of our people generally. Old
Mother Earth still continues to pour into the
pockets of our hardy and ''honest miners" full
portion of her secret treasures, notwithstanding
the croakings of short-sighted men and lazy
bummers, who have been predicting for months
past that the mines were giving out.
Our water bitches still furnish their usual
and full supply of that indispensable article with
out which our mines would be desert waste,
and SO far as appearances indicate, the water
companies coming money.
Politics are about played out. With one or
two exceptions, our people are all on one side.
The only question is Union versus Treason, and
as we are all, with the exceptions mentioned, in
favor of Union, we find nothing to differ about.
Our Courts Of Justice are doing literally moth
ing, and our lawyers are in fair way of being
compelled to seek other employments or starve.
Our physicians-and we have good can be
found in the State-complain wonderfully that
people don't get SICK The locality is entirely
too healthy for their profession. S.
