Retiring County Officials.

We can testify to the general good con.
duet of the retiring officials of this county for
the term about to expire.
The honorable and Straightforward course
of John S. Follansbee, the retiring Sheriff
during the whole time he has been in Office,
-four years and five months. has been fully
attested by the people of this county, in the
many concentrations we have heard of his
varied daties. He surrenders the Office to
his successor with honor TO himself and cre
dit to those who placed him in that honora-
BILE and responsible position.
j. r. Durick, the retiring County Record
er, has always been found by the business
men of the county faithful and obliging
servant of the people. He has been more
prompt in keeping the records written up
than any of his predecessors since the organ
ization of the county. He purposes paying
visit to the East to see the old folks at
home" We wish hia a pleasant trip and
speedy return to Shasta. where he has bean
so long an honored resident.
Of James Keen, the retiring County Clerk,
we can truthfully say that 10 has made the
most correct and efficient County Clerk that
ever held Office in this county. Long accus-
toned to the duties he has been called to per-
form, the public have found him to be correct
in the system in which he has kept his books,
and will award him the credit of bringing the
affairs of the Office into proper order.
W. l.. Knox, District Attorney for the
past term, has made an efficient and careful
| officer, and in the many cases he has been
called upon to prosecute has been very sue
cessful. Credit is also due him for the faith
| full manner in which he has enforced the col
lection of licenses and delinquent taxes. max
| ing the burthens of sustaining the county
government fall equally upon all. We un
derstand it is his intention to take up his re.
sidence in Washoe in the course of few
months.
If the incoming officers perform their du
ties as faithfully as their immediate prede
eessors, the people will have no just cause ot
complaint for the manner in which county
affairs are conducted. We will wait apt
watch them, and from time to time show the
people how they are performing heir duties

Considerable excitement exists at these
mines, and liberal offers made for shares, but
declined by holders, in several of the leading
companies We learn that several gentle
men from San Francisco have arrived at Cop
per City for the purpose of securing interests.
The Original Williams & Kellenger and Bul
ly Hill claims command the most attention
at present, as they are farther advanced in
their work than any others, and have paying
rock ready for shipment, large quantities of
which is daily forwarded to San Francisco
We heard from "a party holding 200 feet in
Bully Hill that he was offered S24O0 for his
interest. but declined to sell. Shares in this
company have sold for as high as fifteen dol
lars per share.
The Daniel Webster Company have started
shaft on their ledge. and have taken out
over two tons of rock that assays IA 5O-l00
ounces in gold and 81 lSl00 ounces of silver
to the ton. The concentrated mineral in this
lode is eighteen inches wide one foot below
the water level, and the lode is eight or ten
feet wide between the wall rock on either
side. One piece of the best ore, weighing
over 200 pounds, arrived in town. and can be
seen at the Office of the Secretary of the com
pany.
ii Great activity prevails upon about twenty
claims, some of the companies running three
sets of hands. Labor is in demand, and all
who wish can obtain employment at fair wa
ges and ready pay.
