bitter feeling between the two parties in
Chinatown. and the members of each have
been secretly and quietly preparing for an
onslaught on the other, and yesterday it
eliminated by one party sending the other
written challenge, but before they had
time to accept of it or put their warlike
intentions into effect they were "nipped"
by the efficient police who brought the

they were released from custody on giving

An OLD HAr.-There isn't much in an
old hat, as a general thing-but old hats,
like old black tom-cats, make deal Of
bother sometimes. There is case in
point. 4 married man, living somewhere
in the neighborhood of the old Belcher
shaft, in Gold Hill, not long ago discov-
cred an old hat lying upon his bed in his
own bed-chamber =! He felt certain the hat
was not his property, nor had it ever been
his-and in his estimation-the old hat
aforesaid had no business on his head and
in his bed-chamber. There was some
mystery about the old hat-and his wife
failed TO explain to whom the mysterious
son.6rero belonged. But time unravelled
the discovery the hat belonged to par
ticular friend ofhis! The indignant husband
expressed himself. with 'looseness' upon
the subject of old hats lying around LOOSE in
his domicil-the wife protesting that "there
was nothing in it." etc. So, yesterday,
there was a general row-a breach of the
peace, and an expressed desire to see
somebody whipped or thrashed-the bel
Egerents being the husband and his par
tic,slar friend. The police intertered, and
the matter was ventilated this morning
before His Honor, Judge Robinson. Gas
the parties are highly respectable we re-
frain from publishing names" etc. Look
out for your boots and hats!
The Crown Point Company struck its
ledge yesterday, and since then has been
taking out quartz for crushing. 1t has
taken out two or three tons, which have
been run from the shaft and dumped into
the mill in front of the battery. The
quartz which has been taken out is the
| white and blue silver bearing rock, which
is so common in Gold Hill proper, and
which generally yields well. The COM
pany's mill has been standing idle for
three or four days past, from want OF rock,
! but will commence running again on the
company's own rock as soon as few
more tons have been taken out. The
company has not taken out any pay rock
before for about year, and during that
time the mill has been doing custom work.
! But its last custom work has probably
been done, and the company will hence
forth have all the rock of its own to
crush, which its mill can work.
ALMosT.-This morning, the servant
girl at the residence of Judge Robinson
came very near meeting with serious
accident. While engaged in the kitchen
of the house, she stepped upon match,
which ignited and set fire to her clothes.
| Of course she screamed, which caused
our usually sedate and cool police judge
to rush furiously to the culinary depart
ment of his domicil, where he witnessed
the alarming sight of a young woman
likely to burn up. But the Judge is tole-
rable ready in an emergency-so he coolly
went to work, rather bashfully, we haven't
the least doubt, and touk possession Of
the young lady's skirts and petticoats, and
very soon succeeded in extinguishing the
flames, receiving the eternal gratitude OF
the young lady, and surprising his " bet
ter half with his extraordinary expert
ness.
The Justice Company continues to take
out twenty-five or thirty tons of pay rock
per day from its old shaft, and keeps sink
ing its new one deeper. The new shaft
is now down 100 feet, and is being sunk
as rapidly as work day and night can do
it. 1t is now being carried down in a
yerv hard formation and cannot therefore
be sunk very rapidly. The formation is
such that the ground stands very well for
a considerable distance without timbering,
but the company nevertheless puts them
in. The shaft would require timbering
before it stood long at all events and the
company concluded that it might as well
put them in now as at some future time.
4 wise conclusion we say. The shaft Is
therefore timbered all the way down with
fuur-inch planks, and is as far as it has
been constructed, inferior to none in the
District.
