A Coon MINING DIsTRIcT.-Experience
miners inform us that there is ground enough
in the vicinity of Roaring River and the
forks of Cottonwood to furnish mining claims
for five hundred men for an indefinite mum
Der of years. Many of the bars, benches and
flats along these streams are either entirely
unprospected or very little worked, and the
general impression is that they all contain
gold in paying quantities. Last winter Peter
Larkin located a claim on bar on Roaring
River, erected hydraulic apparatus upon
it, and is now taking out from fifteen to
twenty dollars per day. A company have
lately put in a wing dam on the Middle Fork
of Cottonwood and are washing gravel which
prospects bit to the pan. Miners in search
of employment are directed to this promising
locality.

THE NEW FIRE ExTINGUIsHER.-The trial
of Levev's Fire Extingusher was made last
night, in Union Square, before crowd of
some two or three thousand persons. The
machine itself is a tin can, capable of holding
about four gallons. 1t is filled with water.

substances which create--a kind of gas. The
machine can stand charged for years. The

barrels, we'll saturated with tar, and filled
with sbavings. The fire was set to the file.
and when it had become well heated, and the
flames were bursting through all sides of the
house, the Judges gave the word to Levey to
"plav away" He did so. and in one min.
ute had the flames under control The tar
barrels were then allowed to heat up again.
and in less than a minute the fire was put
out, except few Goals and cinders. The
trial was very satisfactory to all present, and
demonstrated the capacity of the machine to
do all that is claimed for it. With one of the

full headway, for it could be extinguished in
less time than it would take to give the alarm

SoREHEAD CoNvENTIoN.-The Sorehead-
Republican Convention met at Sacramento
on the 10th, there being thirty eight dele
gates present, twenty one of these being from

represented, most of them by self appointed
delegates. The whole affair was controlled
and managed by James Anthony, J. NJ.

A LIVE PAPER.-The Sacramento Daily
Record is one of the ablest and spiciest Union
papers in the State, and has a larger circula-
ton than any other paper published in thaIi
city. Since the Union and Bee have declared
themselves. independent of the Union party,
we observe that the advertising columns Of
the Record are gradually filling up with five
advertisements, and appearances indicate
that the Union people of Sacramento appre-
ciate its faithful adherence to principle, hnd
are disposed to adopt it as their favofte
local paper.

Found DEAD.-Last Tuesday James L.
Rogers was found dead on Spring Creek,
about three miles from this place. Justice
Knox, being notified Of the fact, empanneled
jury and proceeded to the scene of death.
The body was found lying face downward,
and partially submerged in the waters of the
creek. Examination showed that deceased
had been attacked with an apoplectic fit,
induced by disease of the brain, and had
fallen forward into the water ard suffocated
Rogers was native of Beaver county. Penu-
sylvania, and was about 45 years of age.
He resided in this place since 1851, and foI
the past ten years has been subject to fits of
insanity. The jury returned a verdict in
accordance with these facts.

Mysterious Disappearance.

On the announcement of the murder of
lsham Harris, at Buckeye, on the 4th, nearly
the whole neighborhood came to the conclu-
sion as to who perpetrated the deed. Sus-
pician at once fixed upon one Peter Little as
being the guilty party, although no direct
proof could be cited to substantiate such a
charge. 1t appears, however, that Little,
who is described as sullen, morose and
vindctive man, had quarrel with Harris
some time ago, after which he was heard to
say that he intended to kill two men who
lived at Buckeye, and then leave the coun-
try. Some time previous to the murder of
Harris, Little sold out his mining claim, and
apparently made preparations to leave but
he still fingered around his old haunts, and
was seen almost daily strolling over the hills
in the vicinity of his cabin, and always car
rying double barreled shot gun on his
shoulder. Therefore, when Harris was found
brutally murdered, in the locality where
Little was in the habit of prowling, and the
wounds showed plainly the kind of weapon
used to accomplish the bloody deed, every
man in Buckeye fully believed that Little had
perpetrated the murder. A Coroner's in.
quest was held over Harris remains, and
everybody in the neighborhood attended the
examination and funeral, except Little, who
kept away Naturally enough, everybody
stood in awe of him, and many felt fearful
lest they might be the second victim whom
he had singled out to kill. Various PROPOSE
tions were privately discussed among the
neighbors as to the best course to pursue in
order to insure their safety, and rid the
neighborhood of the presence of the supposed
murderer, lut it seemed impossible to hit
upon any definite and satisfactory plan. Af-
fairs continued thus until one evening last
week, when several persons in the vicinity
were startled by noise and confusion in the
direction of Little's cabin, and by hearing
some person cry out: sob, don't for
Gods sake, let me go!' No one ventured
near the spot from whence the noise pro-
ceeded, and nothing more was heard during
the night. The most mysterious feature of
the affair is that Little has not been seen
since the night alluded to, and no one about
Buckeye appears to take any further interest
as to his whereabouts. The probabilities arc
that he has paid his last poll tax

ArrENTIoN.-The attention of Clerks and
Judges of election in the different precincts
of the county is called to the necessity of
enrolling the names of all qualified voters
upon the-poll lists, previous to the 5th of
August. All persons not enrolled at the
expiration of that time will be excluded from
voting at the next election. Let every Union
man in the county see to it that bis name is
entered on the poll list of the precinct where
I he resides.

Entered for the Banner.

In the present contest between Unionism.
Justices Law and Government on the one
side. and Copperheadism, Reputation and
Wrong on the other, Shasta county enters
for the banner, and her loyal voters intend
to make gallant fight to gain the honorable
prize During the war she gained the repu
tatlon, in Democratic circles, of being the
biackest Abolition county, in the northern
portion of the State, which simply meant that
she was loyal to the Government, and rolled
up heavy majorities for the Union ticket. At
the next election the county will fully main
tain her reputation, and if Union men will
firmly resolve upon it, we can roll up vote
that will entitle us to the honor and distinc.
ton of residing in the banner Union county
of the State.
From information received verbally from
reliable men who reside in different portions
of the county, and from letters written by
residents of such precincts as French Gulch,
Dog Greek, Churntown. Millville, Parkville,
Horsetown and Roaring River, we are salts.
fed that Union men will sink all minor issues
and unite in hearty and general support of
the regular Union nominees, and assist in
administering to Democrats another rebuke
at the polls that will cause them to give up
the county in disgust and despair, and lead
them to ardently long for the congenial cline
of Idaho, where Copperheads occasionally
carry an election.
The ticket put forth by the Union County
Convention is satisfactory to the people, and
when the situation is fully discussed and
understood, no opposition can be made to the
nominees on the State ticket Men who are
sincerely devoted to the cause and principles
of the Union party recognize the fact that in
order to preserve the State from the hands of
the enemies of the Government, it will be
necessary to sustain the regular nominees
and chosen representatives of the party at
the polls. Then, too, every sensible Union
man knows he belongs to party possessing
historic name-a party with record of
bright and glorious deeds-and he naturally
feels pride and interest in sustaining its
standard bearers, and desires to see the party
flag borne aloft in triumph. We feel truly
gratifed to know that in this campaign the
party will be unit here, and we hope that
after the 4th of September next old Shasta
loyal, steadfast Shasta-may be hailed as the
banner Union county of California.
