FlN1IE undersigned would respectfully in
form the citizens of Mokeumne Hill
and vicinity, that they have established a
Grocery Business at the well known stand
formerly kept by OR old townsman, II. NJ
STURGEs. We intend to keep nothing ex-
cept the very best of articles. and as we shall
buy our goods exclusively for cash, we have
no hesitation in making the assertion that
we will sell cheaper than any other house
in our line. We have adopted the old and
golden motto, Quick sales and small prot
its" We know that we shall have t. con-
tend with heavy firms. and while we ask the
kind indulgence of our competitors for inter-
ference in their line we would ask the pub
lie a share of their patronage, assuring them
that we intend to please every one. Our
terms will be strictly Cash. in order to estab-
fish good and healthy trade, the only road
to success and prosperity, and we firmly be-
lieve, by adhering to this psinciple, we shall
be enabled to furnish goods at least 10 per
cent cheaper than those who credit some and
refuse others: and who will deny that the
good and honest will, through indirect tara
ton pay the debts of those who pay not !:
We intend to treat all alike-the rich and
poor, high and low-and thus we hope,
through careful management, to establish a
sound business. We will forward goods to
any part, to all who may patronize us; and
in short, guarantee satisfaction in all cases.
In addition. our butcher business will be
carried on as before. and while we thank the
public for their past favors. we would re-
spectfully solicit continuance of their pat
ronage. Respectfully,
H. ADLER & CO.

Mr. EDITOR The quartz interest in this
place is looking up. Hepburn & Co.'s mill
is constantly at work, grinding rock from
the different mines in the vicinity, and since
the Hesse pan has been in operation, with
entire satisfaction to the owners. They
cleaned up lot of AZ! tons from the Petit
coat" mine, last Saturday. The result ex-
ceeded the expectation of both owners and
mill men. Calculating the bullion at Sl6
per ounce, the yield was within fraction of
$50 per ton. The pan was not cleaned up,
as they have some 60 tons more of the same
lot Of rock to crush this week. Thomarson,
Scott & Co., are at work on the first north
extension of the '.Petticoat," and are taking
out very fine rock they will have crush
ing of 100 tons out soon SO look out for
more bullion.
Gamble & Co., after sinking their shaft to
a depth Of 80 feet, are drifting. Their dump
is rapidly filling up with excellent ore.
Quidell S; Co. are working a strong force at
their mine on Austrian ridge. They have
about 20 tons now at the mine, which ex-
perts pronounce good for $50 or $40 per
ton. 1t will be crushed next week. if the
weather will permit them to haul enough to
make crushing of 100 tons. I think our
camp will make sensation in quartz circles
the coming season. Yours, etc.,

ADLER & Co.-This enterprising firm
have established themselves in business in
the building formerly occupied by II. NJ.
Sturges, corner of Main and Centre streets,
and opened a large and extensive stock of
groceries. Their assortment is complete,
goods fresh, and as they sell exclusively for
cash, those who purchase of them will not
be compelled to pay percentage on the in
debtedness which necessarily aocrues on the
books of those who do a credit business.
Their motto is. Quick sales and small
profits" and we have no doubt but that they
will live up to it. Messrs. Adler & Co. are
prepared to furnish goods in any quantity
and deliver them to their customers without
extra charge. In connection with the store
the well-known Meat Market of Hexter &
Co. has been established, where at all times
can be obtained everything usually kept in
we'll regulated establishments of that char
acter. Read their advertisement in this

CALAVERAS CHRONICLE.
MUkLLUMNE HILL:
SATURDAY, :: NOVEMBER 80. 1867.
BALL AT JAcKsoN.-On Thursday evening


BALL AT JAcKsoN.-On Thursday evening
last, Thanksgiving, we attended the ball
given by the Jackson Guards in honor of the
completion of their new Armory. The day
was suspicious, being one of the brightest
and most pleasant of the season, the roads
were IN an excellent condition, and as in
addition to the company of gentleman, we
were blessed by the presence of two of EYES
fair daughters, the barometer of our spirits
indicated degree of hi.arity approaching
boisteroasness. Upon our arrival in Jack
son, we were Immediately taken in charge
by mine host of the National" Messrs.
Evans & Askey. and provided with those
creature comforts necessary to invigorate and
resuscitate the corporal system. The Ar
mory of the Guards is a structure of brick,
ninety feet in length and forty five in breadth
The ceiling, we should judge, will be twenty
feet in h:ght, from tie floor The building
as not yet completed, but when finished, it
will be the largest. most substantial and
elegant hall We have ever seen outside of the
cities. The only fault that can be found
with it as ballroom, is, that the floor is too
firm and solid. The ball was superlative
success, both financially and socially Nine
ty couples were at one time dancing, and
yet the floor was not uncomfortably crowded
We are informed that at least one hundred
decorated with flags, pictures and mirrors,
and wreaths of evergreenS were tastefully
arched and festooncd entirely around it.
The band played the grand march at s
O'Clock. and from that time until an early
hour in the morning, with but a short in
termission for supper, the hall resounded
with the sweet strains of harmonious music,
and the stately quadrille. the divine waltz
and graceful mazourka, followed each other
in rapid succession. We have never seen
a more sociable nor a better behaved COM
pany than the guests of the Guards on
Thursday evening last. At u o'clock all
partook of an elegant collation.. The music
for the occasion, furnished by Messrs.
Church, Jones & Kay, was of that enlivening.
soul-inspiring character which lifts one up
beyond the clouds of care into the bright,
ethereal atmosphere of perfect happiness. Its
persuasive power is irresistible. One can no
more resist the inclination to dance, when
they play, than the needle can to follow the
magnet. 1t would make an automaton
gyrate seduce an anchorite and breathe the
breath of life into an Egyptian mummy. I he
Floor Managers, Messrs. Wells. Burke,
Andell and Cosner, were prompt, attentive
and obliging in the discharge of their duties,
and by their efforts contributed much to the
enjoyment of those present. Quite a num-
Der of ladies and gentlemen of this place at
tended, and were much pleased with the
evenings festivities. We, for one, made
several agreeable acquaintance, whom we
shall not soon forget, and in the future we
are going to attend every ball given in
jackson.

THANKSGIVING passed off quietly in Mokel

THANKSGIVING passed off quietly in Mo}el-
umne Hill. The day was not generally OBJ
served by our citizens, at least not in the
manner advised by Governor Low. All that
was done beyond the rotine of everyday
life, was chicken shoot and cock fight.
Whether INDUCING in such sports is to be
considered positive evidence of thankful
heart, or not. not being az fait in such
matters, we are unable to state. We were
invited to partake of turkey dinner. Is 1t
necessary to add that we accepted and par
took: :" Whether we feel grateful to the
Giver of good for the blessings he has show

certainly appreciate the kindness of those

mill will soon be erected in this vicinity
Staples & Co., who have purchased the first
extension of the famous "Old Rich Gulch"

up machinery on their claim. The lumber
is being hauled and twenty men are at work
on the ground, so there is no .humbug''
about it. Mr.. Staples informs Us that he
will be ready to commence crushing by the
first Of January. Alexander, Seavers & Co..
who have been crushing rock taken from
their claim on the same ledge, for the past
six months. are still receiving handsome
dividends. The quartz interests of this por-
ton of the county have never rorn so fat
tering an aspect as at present; times in con-
sequence, are improving. and our citizens are
jubilant over their prospects.

WE return our thanks to Mrs. A. Eerle
for copy of the Poetry of the Pacific
by May Wentworth. This book, as its name
indicates, is composed of choice selections
from the works of the poets of the Pacific
coast. Its editress, May Wentworth"
herself the author of several beautiful poems,
has certainly exhibited exquisite taste in her
preferences. The book contains many beau
tiful things; and being, as it Is, essentially
Californian in every particular, it should find
purchaser in every one who can appreciate
and who wishes to encourage literary merit
We have not yet had time to examine it as
closely as we wish. The work is suostan-
TALLY and handsomely bound, elegantly en-
bossed, printed on medallion git-edged pa
per, and is marvel of typographical neat
ness. No more acceptable sourcnir could be
presented by a gentleman to lady. as
holiday present. Mrs. Earle has the book
for sale, and as she will probably be in this
vicinity. shortly, we earnestly recommend
the work as worthy the attention of our
citizens.
MONEY ORDER OFFIcE.-Persons wishing
to transmit money through the medium OF
the mails. Will find that purchasiI.r money
orders to the amount they wish to send, to
he much the easiest. most convenient and
sHfest method. Sending greenbacks in a
letter whether it be registered or not, may
result in their loss. The beauty of the
money order system is, that by the payment
of twenty-five cents on an order Of the
amount OF nifty dollars, you insure its safe
transit; in fact you are as effectually guarded
against loss as though you purchased a
check and forwarded it by express. This
system is now in operation throughout the
United States, and is proving very successful,
many bushes men making use of no other
method of transmitting funds. The Post
Office in this town has been constituted a
"mon1y order Office and those wishing to
send money to any part of this or the East
ern States, will find it much the cheapest
and safest plan to purchase an order at the
Post Office, for the amount.
