SHASTA COURIER.
SATURDAY MORNING, APRIL 6, 1867.

Doc CREEK-"T,n a correspondent of the
COURIER at Dog Creek, sends US the follow
ing items:
Times are lively here this spring, and the
boys are carrying heavy purses and light
hearts. The mines are paying splendidly.
The Mccall Gulch claim pays $50 per day.
On Saturday, 23d ult., the proprietors of this
claim took out two very fine specimens, one
weighing II ounces and the other 81 ounces.
Pieces weighing from three to five dollars are
found in this claim almost daily. Baylis &
Myers have struck a rich pay streak in their
claim on Sailor Point. Robert Pitt is work
ing claim on Portuguese Flat, eight miles
above here, which pays from eight to ten
dollars per day to the hand. Moore q Co.
have rugged up aselfdischarging reservoir on
their claim at Portuguese Flat, and are just
literally tearing the ground up. This Claim
prospects rich, and is supposed to contain
big pay. Mason has lately struck quartz
ledge on the South Fork of Dog Creek which
prospects over $1,000 to the tun, and Gooch
has found another ledge on the Sacramento
that poets very well in silver and copper
The mines on this creek are not half deyel-
oped, and few years will prove that it is
really the richest mining locality in Shasta
county. A dance came of at the upper store
few nights ago, and it was fun to see the
bellies display their crinolines and waterfalls.
Seventeen couple were present. Certainly
the ladies were rather dark complexioned,
but everything went off lovely, and the well
known domestic fowl of the genus Anser was
considerably elevated.

SOUTH FoRK.-Quite a number of strang-
ers have visited South Fork mines during the
week, and appearances indicate that there
will be quite rush to this prospective
Washoe. Work has been resumed on the
Crystal lode, and some very fine prospects
are being obtained. A new ledge was dis
covered this week by Mr.. Bryant, which he
called the "Ophir." A livery stable will be
started in few days. A controlling inter-
twelve hundred dollars, six hundred of which
has been paid.

Lesson FOR TEACHERS AND PARENTs.-Dr.
Arnold, when at Lalchem, once lost all pa
tience with a dull scholar, when the pupil
looked up in his face and said Why do
you speak angrilyAsir? Indeed, I am doing
the best | can" Years after the doctor
used to tell this story to his own children and
say: " [ never felt SO ashamed of myself in
my life. That look and that speech l have
never forgotten" Is not this a very sug-
gestive fact for many parents and teachers,
and for masters, too, who are at times impa-
tent and unreasonable with youths of this
naec9

SLUIcE RoBBER.-For some time past Geo.
Reese, who owns mining claim near Briggs
vile, has entertained the suspicion that
Cinnamon were in the habit of stealing gold
from his sluices. Lately he has kept pretty
sharp look out in order to detect the thieves,
and on last Tuesday morning his vigilance
was rewarded. A Chinaman, thinking he
was unobseryed, went to work panning out
at the head of the sluices, and when he had
got fairly to work Reese nabbed him by the
tail, and proceeded to give him thorough
thrashing.
The Shasta courier., 1867-04-06

MEx1co.-A Vera Cruz correspondent Of
March 18th says that Marshal Bazaine, with
the rear guard of the French army, left on

The gates are closed and it is feared the
troops in the city will pronounce for Juarez
as soon as the Liberals appear in front of the
walls. 1t was rumored that Macmillan had
offered to abdicate if Juarez would consent
to abide the decision of the people for OF
against the Empire.

every preparation that can contribute to the
enjoyment of those who may attend The

parade in the afternoon, and the members
will attend the ball in uniform. To see the
