FENIAN NATTAcK.-Dispatches to the Union,
under date of June 1st and 81, advise us
that two regiments comprising 1900 men,
crossed the Niagara river just below Buffalo,
attacked and captured Fort Erie, on the
Carada shore, Immediately opposite Buffalo.
The dispatches, after giving this much in
formation. surmise great deal; among
other things that Gen. Sweeney is crossing
the St. Lawrence with large force, and that
the small one at Fort Erie was only strategy
to draw the English force away from the
main attack. 1t is also said that the attack
ing party subsequently burnt their arms,
ammunition &c., broke up into small parties
and abandoned any attempt to make their
attack a permanent success; and another
rumor has it that Stevens, the Head Centre,
and the O'Mahony party, are opposed to this
move, and that their adherents are dormant
while the fighting party are active. The
whole thing is in such muddle that it is
impossible to arrive at any conclusion until
the Telegraph gives us more facts.

A BLOODY FfGHT-A murderous affray
took place on the ship Seminole, in the San
Francisco harbor on Saturday. The mate
endeavored to whip one G. j. Peterson, a
sailor just shipped for the voyage to New
York. and he resisting, was badly beaten
with Delaying pins and cut on the head with
hatchet, Another of the crew, Jame>IiBell,
alias Scotty, came to bis relief, and was al
so cut and bruised The first mate, Bush,
was badly cut; the second mate, Nichols,
had his abdomen ripped open so as to make
his recovery doubtful, and the third mate,
Garnder, was badly cut by q knife in the
hands of sailors. The harbor police being
signaled for, arrested the sailors and took
the wounded officers on board the Saranac,
where their wounds were dressed. The sec.
ond and third mates are in the United States
Marine Hospital.

VALoRoUs CoNDucT- The Dutch Flat En-
quirer states that the mill residence of Towle
& Blanchard. situated about mile east of
town, was beset by robbers one night lately,
who, after chloroforming the inmates of the
place, succeeded in removing the company s
safe from the room in which it was kept to
the porch of the house, and were still re-
treating with it when one of the inmates of
the room from which the safe had been alb
stracted, recovering from his stupor, missing
the safe and hearing the noise made by the
robbers upon the porch, rushed forth in no
other armor than his shirt, and equipped
with no other weapon than a convenient
article of furniture, heroically put the rob
bers to flight and recaptured the safe.

INDEPENDENCE DAY.-Preparations are
being made on large scale, at Horsetown,
for the celebration Of the Fourth in a manner
proper for loyal people who love their
whole country, its flag and history. As
there will be no effort at public celebration
elsewhere in the county. the managers at
Horsetowu are justified in doing all they
contemplate, for we doubt not there will be
more or less from all parts to participate in
the festivities of the occasion. The Shasta
Brass Band has been engaged. All we have
conversed with say they are going, and antic-
ipate good time. Well 90 bail for Horse
town that the facilities for good time will
not be wanting.

SouTH FoRK-We are informed that an
English company at San Francisco are nego-
tating for one of the organized locations in
this district. 1t seems that some second
class rock from claim had heen sent to the
Bay that the company in question got hold
of it. tested it, and proved its value to be
1885 to the tun, and announced that if one
thousand pounds of such rock could be sent
them, they would take the claim at SlO0, 900,
and that the proposition has been accepted
and the rock sent forward. This may or
may not be true so far as the bargain is con-
cerned, but we know the rock has gone
down to the amount of half tun or
over, aud of quality that will prove better
than any previously sent.
Every day new locations are being made
in the district, and old locations being proven
to slight extent, with most astonishing re.
suits. A peculiar feature of the district is
that we'll defined leads are struck by going
through the debris on the surface, and widen
as shafts are sunk on them, the average being
about three feet on the surface.
The s'Occidental'' and the Confidence"
are discoveries made since our last, the crop.
pings from which show the same surprising
richness of previous discoveries. Hicks 4
Brown are the discoverers of the Occidental,
and Rothwell & Petty of the other.

BUNKER HILL.-On Tuesday last we visit
ed this claim. The work done upon it is
extensive and well done; yet it seems to Us
that it has not been done judiciously' The
gold obtained is fine as -four. and is found
imbedded in soft slate, in thin strata of de
composed quartz. There are places in the
mine where from $500 to $4,000 have been
taken out in from one to twenty-four hours
time The trouble is, though, that when one
Of these rich deposits Of free gold is worked
then all is barren until another ''pocket" is
found. These deposits are found in STRAIT.
um of soft slate, about twenty five feet wide,
bound in granite walls, the lead pitching to
the west. We are fully convinced, from a
cursory examination, that the company would
reap rich return by milling all the slate
rock in the lode. 1t is so soft that large
quantities could be put through, and there
must necessarily be more or less of gold run
ming through it. A tun could be taken to
the Spring Creek mill and tried, at trifins
cost, and for the credit of our district we
would like to see it tried. The same lead has
been struck in two or three other places, and
If the milling process should prove to be a
success, the fortunes Of all interested are
made certain.

| DANIELS CLAIM-This claim is situated
on the hill side between Shasta and the
Union mill, and about half mile from the
latter. 1t is the equal of the Bunker Hill in
novelty and perhaps in richness. Making
down from the bill is small gulch, the foot
of which, where it makes out into small
fiat, was rich in placer gold. Daniels work
ed there years ago and worked the diggings
out. He built a house above his diggings,
and in preparing the foundation he filled up
n prospect hole with the dirt thrown out
from it, In doing SO he discovered the sands
to be sparkling with fine gold. He remarked
rich ground Daniels continued to work
around wherever he could find show for
some three years-each winter his wife
dreaming that the hill at the head of the lit
tie gulch was rich. The third winters dream
determined him to try it. He went in,
sluiced off to bed rock, and in the granite
formation, interspersed with decomposcd
quartz veins, he found the gold fine and rich
lie and his partner have taken out already
sufficient, if judiciously invested, to make
them comfortable for life, and yet have made
but very small opening in the mine.--,
We were there on Tuesday last, and from
what he told us, he finds his gold as they do
in the Bunker Hill claim-in seams and
pockets where small strata of quartz have
deeomposed and left it, As Daniels lives
somewhat remote from neighbors, we sug-
gested the risk of robbers He told us he
was not fool enough to keep money where
robbers could get it, even if they killed him
they would get no reward for their crime

WILLIAMS & KELLINGER.-The lower tun-
mel in this claim is now in GAG feet and is
450 feet below the surface of the mountain.
The workmen have just passed through a
vein, about six inches wide, that gives out
mineral which seems to be rich in copper.
Our best judges differ in their estimates OF
its richness-some place it at 10 per cent,
while others estimate it as high as ~ per
cent. No assay has yet been made. Mr..
Hale, superintendent of the mine. was in

ScALDED.-On Friday of last week Mr..
John Flemming was repairing something
about the boiler of the engine at his saw
mill, on Whisky Creek, and without having
shut off steam, opened a place from which
it escaped, and striking him in the breast,
knocked him over, scalding him badly on the
breast and arm. DR.. Briceland, who was
called to his relief, says that to the extreme
force of the steam, which knocked him out
of the way completely, he owes his life. The
Doctor thinks he will recover. though he is
now suffering from fever as well as the
wound. We hope SO, for there is no better
man in the county.
