New QUIcKrILvER M1NE.-We have seen
a sample of cinnabar, says the Monterey Ga,
zette, taken from new mine recently discov'
cred in the San Benito Mining District. 1t
is taken from what is called the Clear Creek
Ledge, located about 65 miles from San Juan,
on the head waters of the San Bento. This
mineral is as rich as any that was ever exca'
waited at the New Amaden Mine in Santa
Clara comfy. The ledge from which it is
taken, is, we are informed, is about 8 feet
wide, and to all appearances this is one CT
the richest and most inexhaustible deposits
OF cinnabar in the State or in the world. The
mine is in good hands, and we understand
that operations will be Immediately put on
foot for the erection Of suitable smelling
works, ETC., and the further development OF
the mine.

SUccEssFUL.-Nesrly all the new discover.
les Of quartz leads in this county, says the
Nevada Transcript, as far as they have been
worked, are proving good beyond doubt.
We have not heard, Of all the great number
of locations made, Of one that has been
abandoned. Some ten or fifteen contracts to
run tunnels and sink shafts have been let du
ring the past week, and the greatest enthu'
siasm prevails among quartz operators.
Some Of the owners of. new leads are already
receiving dividends, and in the course of a
few weeks the number will be doubled.
Very heavy sums Of money have been offered
for claims Of late, but mos. Of the companies
are not disposed to sell.

BURGLARY.-On last Sunday night, the
tailor shop Of Edward Walsh was entered
and clothes and cassimeres to the value of
1915 stolen. The rogue or rogues left the

they were in haste The dental office, of
Dr. Myers, in the same building, was entered,
but beyond diarranging the dental instru'
ments, nothing was disturbed.

sotted and pelfJions wretch who pollutes

There is too much bile in the above to be
retained on the stomach upon the advent Of
the heated term-and the Stripes probably

COUNTY HOSPITAL CoNrRAcr-It would
seem to be the duty Of the County Supervi'
sors TO exercise strict economy, prudence and
integrity, in the disbursement Of the County
funds, but il the manner in which they have
let The contract for furnishing medical at
tendance and medicines for the County Hos
pi'aI for the ensuing year, be considered in
keeping With these requisites, then we con-
fees !ha: We do not understand the meaning
Of the words.
Tue Supervisors seemed to have determined
10 contract for medical attendance and medi'
ciues, Independent Of the boarding and keep,
ing Of patien.s and it was considered right
Of pracsiciog physicians to put 10 bid for
this service. Dr.. F. w. Todd, pioneer citi,
zen, and gentleman Of admitted ability in bis
profession, offered to give service and med,
ciues, for the year for slloo. DR.. Chaplin,
young physician, a stranger iu the county,
q resident of two OF three months, one whose
experience or skill is unknown, offered to
give the same service for $500 for the year
and bis bid was accepted.
10 awarding the contract, the Supervisors
did not DO SO from any confidence they had
in Dr.. Chapin over Dr. Todd; but because
DR.. Chaplin was a political ally, and DR..
Todd Democrat. They gave away, from
Pasty considerations alone, $500 Of the mo-
oey Of the taxi payers Of Placer county-mo.
nsy contributed by democrats to support the
county government, as we'll as the party Of
which the Supervisors are members. We
submit that taxes are not paid TO be so dis
bursed; and that the Supervisors in giving
away this $500, committed gross wrong
upon Taxpayers.
We van. the people to bear this 10 mind
and hold the Supervisors, and the party O
which they are the representatives, to an &C.
countsbili:y for this misappropria,iou ofpub

The ro,orious Thaddens Stevens commenc.
ed his political life in 1885 in the legislature

secrets Of masonry. 1t is thus alluded to by
the Pittsburgh Post which says:-'Tbe OBJ

they could not have been subjected to great-

officer of the House before the modern Jug

compelling him TO divulge, under oath, what
he knew about this ancient and respectable
institution. But he, following the example
of the distinguished statesmen we have ma.

would thus have him violate bis honor.
These men were only released by the united
