THE EVENING NEWS.

THE La MorTE.-Having heard it fire.
quently spoken Of, VIC yesterday made visit
to the La Motto claim by clambering up,
through deep mud, to the head Of Crown
Point Ravine. From inquiry and personal
observation we CLEAN the following iaets
The La Note was located on the l4tn o,
March, 1853, and has been ever since worked
BY means Of tunnel, which IS now one nun
dred and twenty-five feet IN length Inc
conpany long since struck its ledge and are
now emitting in and upon it. 1t is about six
teen feet wide. The tunnel will oe extended
under the hill thirty feet further, when a
shaft will be sunk directly therefrom on the
ledge. Excellent rock is being taken, out so
excellent that it will pay well for crushing ;
and mill-owner, we understand, has offered
to purchase the rock on the ground, paying
4 handsome sum therefor. The claim en-
braces 200 feet, and is daily becoming more
popular and valuable.
JUICE KgLLooG's COURT To-DAY.-A. n.
Clark, who wounded man named Davis.
Yesterday, at the Marysville Mill, was this
morning brought up. The charge against
the defendant was modified to a "breach Of
the peace" to which he plead guilty. and
was fined so. Davis, the wounded man,
refused to prosecute until the charge was
made for misdemeanor, instead Of 4 felony.
He evidently seems to have been to blame to
some extent and the inference is, perhaps,
correct, that Clark when he fred the pistol
was partly acting in self defense. John
Neenan and Thomas Finn, were arrested to-
day, charged with disturbing the peace, in
attempting to fight, on Main street, and col
Letting large and anxious crowd around
them. Finn, being the asgressor, according
to the evidence, he was fined $40. Neenan,
who seemed to have an aversion to being
pugilistic, but was ashamed to run, was let
of with fine Of s..
JEwErr & SHEPARD G. AND S. NJ. Co.
This claim was located in October, SO. 1t
lies upon the hill north Of Connolly's' and
west of the Baltimore American claim. They
claim 1000 feet upon each Of their two
lodges. The shaft is being sunk upon the
middle of the gro. nd, between the lodges,
which are some l20 feet apart. They have
now sunk the shaft (which is double one,
thoroughly .timbered,) to the depth OF one
hundred and FIVE feet, striking into the top
of ledge. So far they have found only
little water, but ran through a number Of
small spurs of quartz in the shaft. The Com
pany are now pushing the work with all the
Speed possible, and hope to develop their
ledge very soon.

The NORTH ANERIcA.-Our fellow citizen,
A. W. Thompson, an old and experienced
miner, has, with others of this place, made
location at American Flat, which he believes
will prove to be very rich. 1t embraces 800
feet abandoned by the North American Com
pany in 1860, and is in direct line with that
company, fact that must add much to the
value of the new location, upon which a shaft
has been already begun. The new claim is
called the North America, and is already
sought for.
RUSHING THINGs.-A workman on the
Chollar claim, yesterday, through careless
ness, precipitated an empty car down the
main shaft, distance Of 800 feet, and soon af-
forwards psecipitated another car and him
self off the dump, distance Of fifty feet be-
yond, smashing the cars. He did no damage
Of consequence to himself or any one else.
QrrSx's New SoSG.-That excellent vo-
calist and banjoist, Quinn, still holds forth
nightly at Charley Whites Exchange Saloon,
in Gold Hill. Quinn has written new
"Soug on Washoe," which is original, and
decidedly the best song Of the season.

heyed from paving taxes on certain mining
stock on which taxes had been already paid
in California. She stated her case clearly,
