mills are also looking up. Col. O'Neal's

Wm. Clemens i Co. are making prepara-
rations to pack one hundred tons of rock
from the Pacific ledge to this place to be
crushed, and if the gold is saved to anything

freight is not less than q cents per pound
and with all the other expenses, it will be
rich ore indeed to pay dividend to the ledge
holders. Mr.. Clemens and his partners de-
serve credit for their enterprising energy.

occurred here last night between two parties
on an an old grudge, neither hurt by shoot
ing, but both marked by sundry cuts, bruises
&c. from their heads coming into too sudden
collision with six-shooters. Squire Kelly
bound them over to keap the peace for 81
months, but as there was not any evidence
to show who was really to blame, and they
each blame the other, no fines were imposed. |
Pistols, also, were drawn by some freighters
on Red Warrior on Friday. The disturbance
there arising out of difficulty in settlement of
business matters. No one hurt as yet.
Shooting has also been going on at the
bead of Canon creek, rising in the Goose
Greek mountains, but this was different in
it's character. The parties engaged were

Joseph Rogers on the white side and GER
