GIVES UP.-Harvey Dickinson moved his
family from Churntown to Copper City soon
after the discovery of the quartz lodges on
Kelinger Hill, and made up his mind to
see the place out" Ledge after ledge was
abandoned, and finally work ceased entirely
on all the claims, and the district was com
paratively abandoned. Still Dickenson held
on. and waited month after month in hopes
that work would be resumed on some of the
lodges, or that capitalists would come along
and buy up the district and develop rich
mines; but no one went near the spot where
so much money had been expended without
producing any recompense. Dickinson has
finally weakened, and announces his inten,
ton of abandoning Copper City as a failure.
If there is man in the county deserving of
credit for faith and perseverance in the face of
discouraging circumstances, that man is
Harvey Dickinson.

TRINIvY CENTRE.-Quite a number of
Shasta county miners have located claims in
this prosperous mining camp, and are making
good wages. Murry & Son, formerly OF
Pittsburg, own claim which pays them five
dollars day to the hand, and can be worked
at all seasons of the year. Fred. Kushman,
formerly of French Gulch, is working claim
which pays about seven dollars per day, with
prospects of growing better as the claim is
more thoroughly opened. Other claims are
paying even better than those mentioned, and
if the coming winter is favorable for mining
operations, large amount of gold will be
taken from the Trinity Centre mines by
next spring.

SHASTA COURI E r.
SATURDAY, MORNING, OCT. 10, 1867.

REsERyATloN.-From the expressions we
have heard from a number Of our leading
citizens, we conclude that the proposition to
secure the location of new Indian Reserva-
ton somewhere within the limits of this
county. is looked upon with favor, and meets
with general approval. That such a measure
would be mutually advantageous to whites
and Indians in this section there can be no
doubt. The collection of all the Indians of
the northeastern part of the State on a
closely guarded Reservation, would render
the white settlers safe and secure from their
depredations, and have tendency to redeem
a certain class of men, who will insist on
assocating with the savages on terms of
equality, until prohibited from doing SO by
official surveillance. We understand that the
necessity and propriety of establishing the
proposed Reservation will be laid before our
Senators and Representatives in Congress at
the next session of that body, and that prompt
action will be urged in relation to the mat

WEDDING PARTY.-The social reception
given at the residence of Daniel Lynch, Esq,
on Sunday evening last, on the occasion of
the marriage of his daughter and Mr.. Ed,
ward Clunen, was one of the finest affairs of
that character ever witnessed in this place,
which of late is becoming celebrated for its
splendid wedding parties. A large assem-
blage of relatives, friends and invited guests
were present, and all appeared to feel highly
pleased and gratifed. All manner of good
things were supplied in profusion, and the
tables groaned under a weight of luxuries
sufficient to appease the appetites of
five times the number of those pres
ent. Of course the printer was not forgotten.
If the newly married couple make the voyage
of life as safely and prosperousy as we wish
them, they will indeed be happy.
We also acknowledge the receipt of a
bountful supply of wine and cake from Mr..
and Mrs. Thomas Greene. May their future
be cloudless, and peace, happiness and pros
perty attend them.

EASTERN Ns.-Gubernatorial cleo
tions were held in Ohio and Iowa on the Sth
inst, and a legislative and judicial election
was held in Pennsylvania on the same day.
In Ohio, the Republican candidate for Gov
ernor, General Hayes, is elected by 5000 ma
jority, and the Democrats elected majority
of the Legislature. They will have major
ity of four on joint ballot, which will give
them United States Senator in place
of B. F. Wade. The constitutional amend
ment comforting the right of suffrage on
negroes was defeated by majority of 40, 900,
which result etfectualy settles negro suffrage
as far as the Buckeye State is concerned. In
Iowa the entire Republican State ticket is
elected by about 5000 majority. and the
Legislature remains largely Republican. In
Pennsylvania, Sharwood, (Democrat,) is
elected Supreme Judge by small majority.
The Legislature will contain Republican
majority of fifteen on joint ballot, which
insures the election of Republican to sue
ceed Cowan in the U. S. Senate.

GENERAL GRANT AMONG THE MoRaONs.-
The Salt Lake Telegraph, Mormon organ, in
its issue of October 5th, opens a leading arti-
Gle thus:
g No man possesses so completely the
hearts of the people throughout the Union as
does General Grant, and this chiefly because
of his splendid military success in conquer
ing the South and restoring comparative
peace to the country. Since the war his
official conduct has been marked by modera-
ton, large amount of good sense, and
apparently entire abstinence from political
wire.pulling, These qualities seem to have
further endeared him to the hearts of many
people, especially to those who greatly desire
to see the country, the whole country, restor.
ed, and speedily, to its old time harmony and
prosperity"

THE Nevada Gazette of the 18th has this
interesting item:
One of the most remarkable exhibitions of
mothers daring and presence of mind that
we have heard of for a long time, took place
at the village of Washington one day last
week. The circumstances are as follows
Mrs F. T. Marker was crossing the Yuba
on a footbridge, near Rocky Bar, with two of
her children. One of them, babe, she car
ried in her arms, and the other little girl
of about four summers, with a basket in her
hand, followed close behind her. When
about half way across the bridge the little
girl dropped her basket into the water, and
in the excitement of the moment, lost her
balance and fell into the foaming waters be
meath. With remarkable presence of mind
the mother ran with her infant across the
bridge and laid it down on the bank She
then FASTENED down to the water so recover
her child which was being whirled down
stream by the swift current. Fearlessly she
plunged in, and although the water was
over her head she succeeded in saving her
offspring from watery grave. 1t is quite
probable that the rapidity of the current may
have aided her somewhat in bringing her
child to a shallow spot in the river where
she could touch bottom and reach the shore.
Such heroism is worthy of note.

Reforms Demanded.

The recent so-called Democratic triumphs
in the East cannot properly be considered a
verdict against the principles upon which the
Republican party is founded. The question
of Reconstruction, and measures touching
directly upon the re-admisson of the South
ern States, did not enter into the campaign.
The highest significance to be found in these
elections is the self evident fact that universal
suffrage is distasteful to the masses of the
people at the North as we'll as at the South.
and forcibly illustrates that do nothing pol
icy on the part of Congress does not meet the
appreciation of people who are pledged to
untiring action until the principal and most
important issues growing out of the war are
satisfactorily settled and forever put at rest.
Congress has frittered away too much time
on petty side issues, and lodged too many
responsibilities during the last two sessions :;
and the Republicans, as well as Union Dem
ocrats, have just expressed their disapproval
OF such stagnant policy in the only manner
In which they could make their protests
heard and felt Let Congress heed the
warning ere more severe admonition is
administered by an outraged party, and a
dissatisfied, Union loving people, who will
brook no inexcusabe delay when the necessi-
ties of the country demand prompt action
Congress must take hold of the Reconstruc.
ton and Financial questions in earnest, and
the ultra men who are seeking to foist un.-
versal suffrage and other insane and imprac.
ticable issues upon the Republican organiza-
ton must be choked off and made to take
back seats. When these things are done,
nothing can stand between us and victory.

THE Four GREAT SINKs.-Tbe Virginia
Enterprse saws:

THE Four GREAT SINKs.-Tbe Virginia
Enterprise says:
Within the great basin stretching far to
the eastward, from the base of the mountain
range upon which this city stands, flow the
waters of Walker, Carson, Truckee and
Humboldt Rivers, each one emptying into a
separate sink, or broad lake of numerous
miles in diameter. Those four great sinks
lie within a comparatively small compass,
approaching so near each other that man
mounted on good horse could visit them all
and wash his hands in each one successively,
all in single day. Ever since the knowl-
edge of man, and some time previously,
these great volumes of water have been et,r-
nally pouring themselves into those sinks
aforesaid, and will probably continue to do
so for an indefinite period longer. There is
no outlet to them, and where all this inflow.
ing water goes to, is no affair of ours. 1t
may sink away in the sands of the great
desert, or it may evaporate, or it may do
both one thing is certain, the rivers always
contrive to keep the sinks well supplied ;
further, deponent saith not.

Accompanied by his witness he appeared be

After reading his declaration of intention, his

him about six year" is he man Of

good in moral point of view?" Yaw, he
will not steal noting" 'But what do the
people generally say about his character ?'
'Vell, | never hear anybody say dat Shon

about him yourself, as good or bad man ?"
we'll, so far as | knows, he never takes
anything vat does not belong to him." The

CRACKING THEIR WuIPs.-A delegation of
chivalry Democrats called on the editor of the
S. F. Monitor, a few days before the election,
and actually had the cheek and effrontery to
forbid the publication of Father Cotter's card
in relation to McKinstry, the Democratic
candidate for County Judge of San Francisco.
Finally their insolence and abuse of Father
Cotter became unbearable, and the editor,
although himself a Democrat, informed them
that he would suit himself as to what he
should publish, and that their dictation
would not influence him in the least. Father
Cotter's card was published

vile hotel and garden for SllO0. They

and commenced opening a mining claim on

Chinese had made poor bargain and would
never get their money back, but the result
has proved that the Celestials knew. what
they were buying. The claim has already
yielded several thousand dollars, and is not
vet half worked out.

SODA AND HAZEL CREEKs-The mines ot

Flat, are paying unusually well this year
Sam. George, who has, lately returned from

coarse, and pieces weighing from an ounce'tc
fifty dollars are frequently picked up while
ground sluicing. One advantage in these
mines is the fact that plenty of free water car
be had all the year round. The digging,
are deep in some places, and very rocky and
hard to work, but it is in just such places thai
the coarsest gold is found.
