soldiers have failed to receive bounty to
which they were entitled and many 9th

see q way of getting these back dues, or
are bent upon some other gain at the ex-
pense Of the soldier. A piece Of advice
which we have noticed in many of The
papers, will do to heed. It is that all
soldiers hold on to their discharge pspers.

benefit, these papers will be necessary to

the conclusion that they had been of so
long standing that they had soured. and
were no longer good. A public meeting
was then held. which resulted in calling
q mass meeting of Republicans. at Troy.
on Saturday. the 30th inst, for the pur-

and determining whether or not to call a
Convention to nominate County ticket.

A DAY OF BLooD.-Friday last, at the
corner of Clay and Dupont streets, San
Francisco, was witnessed terrible scene of
bloodshed and loss of life. Billy Mullgan,
long known as dangerous fighting man
throughout California and Nevada, as we'll as
in the city of New York, while laborng un.
der fit of delirium tremens, fred upon and
killed his friend and associate, Jack McNabb.
and afterwards firing into the crowd of
spectators, instantly killed worthy young
man named Hart, foreman of one of the fire
companies of that city. Mulligan was in
side large brick building and could not be
reached, consequently, by order of the Cap
tain of Police, he was shot down by one Of
the force. The weapon used to quiet him
was mimic rifle The ball entered his head,
scattering pieces of his skull and brains
over the room in which he stood. Thus
ended the career of two men who were, and
long had been, terror to the community.

eating and stealing whatever they could find.

For THE CoLoREp ScHooL.-The colored
people of this town got up fine supper and
ball on Tuesday evening last, for the benefit
of the school for colored children. The
dancing was confined to the colored people,
but the attendance of ladies and gentlemen
of the Anglo Saxon and Teutonic races was
large, greatly outnumbering those of darker
tinge. The supper, gotten up by donations
from all classes, and the industry and skill
of the colored people, was most splendid
affair. The tables, tastefully set and adorn.
ed with choicest flowers, were loaded down
with the good things of lfe-roast pig,
chicken, beef, mutton, &C., in unlimited
quantities, and cooked in q style to quiet
criticism. A table was set for the white
folks" and one for the c0lored. The former
was entirely filled, first with lady spectators.
and the second time by gentlemen. Dancing
continued until daylight. The utmost deco
rum characterized the whole affair, COM
manding respect from all. As financial
success there is no ground for complaint
One hundred dollars were realized for the
school, The energy they have displayed in
keeping up their school is sufficient guar
antee that this people are determined to
qualify themselves to command the respect
and position now withheld from them through
prejudice against their color. 1t is in their
power to do this by simply persevering in the
course they have started out upon.

French Gulch Mining District.

The Honeycomb Company are having a
mill erected. The machinery for an eight
stamp mill is now on the way from Red
Bluff to the lode, which is situated on French
Gulch, four miles above the village.
This company is deserving of all praise for
the industry and economy used in prosecut-
ing the work. The members being miners,
and having but little means other than
brains and muscle, they went to work with
the capital which nature and the schools had
given them, thoroughly prospected the
g Honeycomb," and then made arrange
ments with Mr.. S. B. Grover for the erection
of mill.
The prospecting of the lode has been tho
rough. An open cut was first made on the
highest point, about ten or fifteen feet deep
then starting in thirty or forty feet below,
they run a tunnel, ninety feet, on the
lode At the mouth of this tunnel shaft
was started and sunk seventy-eight feet; then
tunnel was run into the mountain lower
uo"h, 81 dS W CoHueCt Will tno u"leoii VI WIN
shaft. The lower tunnel is one hundred
feet long-the last twenty-five feet being or
the lode. The greatest width Of the lode, as
| far as prospectsd. is eight feet the narrowes
| six inches average width two and half tc
three feet. The company has now out ane
piled up near two hundred tons of rock, and
in sight and easily obtained at least thou
sand tons more
Mr.. Grover puts up the mill at his owr
| expense, and runs it until the receipts shall
have paid him for his outlay, when the mil
and lode will become the joint property Of
6ve 1t will be run by hydraulic pressure on
hurdy gurdy wheel The fall to the whee
is about one hundred and fifty feet, and the
proprietor thinks twenty five inches of water
| will furnish superabundance of power fol
the mill, and enough to run four more
stamps, which he proposes to add after
| awhile.
The rock in this lode is honey combed, and
easily extracted and crushed. If the one
| half we hear of it's richness is truer the Ho
neycomb Company have got sure thing fol
fortune. The mill will be in operation by
the middle Of September.
The Honeycom3is the third mill in French
Gulch; the Scorpion will make four-a fail

the number may be multiplied by ten.
