The Town ELECTIONS IN THE WEsr.-Tbe
most gratifying reports reach US from
the West in relation to the results of the
town and city elections this year. In almost
all cases they show great gains for the De
mocracy. St. Louis, so long under the heel
of the meanest and dirtiest set of Abolition.
lists in the land, has righted herself, and com
pleely crushed out Il at bitter native and
German element there. which has so long
been dominant, with its test oaths and other
appurtenances Of oppression. In Michigan,
the elections have also been generally very
favorable 10 the Democracy. In Iowa, Indi.
ana, Illinois, Ohio and Wisconsin, there have
also been great gains. In order to show how
demented people can become, it issated that
the Abolitionists in Madison. Wisconsin, &C
tuaIy run negro for mayor and he received
no less than 3o6 votes. 1t IS seldom these
men act so squarely up TO their principles
The results ct the elections, however, are
most cheering TO every lover Of his country.
They show that the people are recovering
their senses, that the reign of blood and pas
sion is subsiding, and that after all, if proper
instruction is given The public mind, we can
safely trust the sober second thought of the
American people to right the wrongs that
have been inflicted upon our country.

Tue BANKER MrSE-This extraordinary
nine is probably one Of the richest ever dis
covered in this State. 1t differs from every
other gold niue we ever saw or heard Of. 1t
is located about six miles from Lincoln, Pla-
Ger county, and is owned by Mr.. A. uarpenr
ding, formerly of this city. The gold is not
found in quartz or gravel, as is usually the
case but is disseminated through an entire
mountain of ochery clay, through which run
veins Of red oxide of copper, mundic, vari.
ously colored seams of carbonates Of magne'
sia, and other minerals all of which con tain
valuable proportions Of free gold. So un'
usual is such formation as deposit of gold
that the miners who worked for years in the
rich gulches on each side of this extraordin,
ary hill, actually sank several shafts on it
through ore which yields $40 to 500 per
ton, looking for quartz, without suspecting
that they were throwing away their fortunes.
The owner Of the mine has been working
it with cinnamon; crushing the dirt in mill
and sIuiciug it away, after extracting Sc or
81 dollars per ton from it, considering that
he was doing big thing, when couple OF
chinamen, with s. stamp mill crushed 40
tons per day. Recently, however, suspect
ing that he did not get all the gold out OF
the dirt, he tried several tons of it in one OF
Baux's pans, and found it to yield $50 per
ton; and now he is having dozen of these
pans put up. With sufficient mill acommo'
datons ten men could take out $1,000 per
day from this extraordinary claim, which
gives indication of also containing one of the
most extensive copper veins in the State.
If such claim had been found in Montana,
or tropical America, what an excitement it
would create. 1t is too near home TO create
any excitement here. The ledge on this
mine is some two hundred feet 10 width, and
has been traced thousand feet. The en-.
tire, ledge including the vein Of copper ore, is
worked for gold, and pays well. Such a
mine is the best banker" we ever heard Of
The above is taken from the last issue of
the S. F. Miner. The Banker Mine is loca
ted on what is known as the Bald Hill
range, on point overlooking the Sacramen.
to Valley. There are other points iu the
nsighborbood supposed to be equally as rich
as the Banker" though they have not been
as well prospected. Mr.. Harpending recent
ly shipped thirteen sacks of copper ore from
the Banker, all taken out of the copper
streak running through the mine which he is
working.
Mr.. Mat. IIarbin, Of Yolo county, has
bought recently, "poiut" in the neighbour
hood OF the Banker, containing about six
acres, and intends workngit. He is satisfied
it is very valuable.

Connecticut is hard State. The land Of
wooden nutmegs has great many wooden
headed voters. Or rather copperheaded. Just
think Of it! Iu one year after the close of a
great civil war, Connecticut barely succeeds
in electing a Union Governor. Governor
Hawley's majority was just 500. The total
Republican vote was 44,008 the largest ever
cast in that State; but Democratic votes seem
to have increased very rapidly in that State
recenlly.-Nog.
