QUARTz.-The Mccall Gulch, on Dog
Creek, has yielded great quantity of gold
dust, and several parties have made fortunes
by mining there. But to the surprise of
everybody the ground ceased to pay after
being worked up to a certain point. By
prospecting the side of the mountain opposite
where the lead gave out, large and well
defined quartz ledge was discovered. Quanti
ties of this rock reduced in hand mortar
showed a fine prospect in gold. This en-
couraged the owners to persevere. They
nccorlingly went to work and took out scve
raj hundred pounds of the quartz and sent
it to n competent assayer at San Francisco.
who, after various tests, reports the rock to
yield fifty dollars to the tun. The result
Las created quite an excitement at Dog
Creek. as everybody believes that tie ledge
contains far richer rock than that from
which the tests were made.

he would kill some d-n white man. A mum
Der of ladies and gentlemen were passing

ten to the disgusting language of this vile
vagabond. Such things are a disgrace to
the town, and it is not the first time similar
exhibitions have taken place here within the
past year. There is not another county town
in the State where Indians are allowed to
congregate and run riot as they do in Shasta.
The individuals who sell or give liquor to
Indians should be fereted out, and punished
to the full extent of the law.

FIRE AT Doc CREEK.-A fire occurred at
Dog Creek last week, by which the store of
W. II. Gooch was partially consumed The
fire broke out in an addition to the main
store building, and had made considerable
headway before being discovered. The alarm
brought number of men to the scene, and
by hard work the flames were arrested in
time to save the principal portion of the main
building. During the progress of the fire a
portion of the contents of the store was car.
ried out of the building, and many articles
were either damaged or ruined by becoming
saturated with rain, as heavy shower was
falling at the time. Had it not been raining
when the fire broke out, it is supposed the
whole establishment would have been con-
sumed.

THE RECENT FLooD.-We learn from par
ties just down from Portuguese Flat that the
recent storm was particularly violent along
the upper Sacramento. Snow had fallen for
several days in the hills and mountains, and
then a heavy rain storm set in and melted
the snow, causing the river to rise higher at
the mouth of Dog Creek than ever known
before since the advent Of white settlers. A
bridge built across the Sacramento some
time ago, by the Sacramento Road Campany,
was swept away and entirely destroyed, and
another bridge, which the company had
recently built across large creek above
Portuguese Flat was also carried away
The Sacramento raised four feet in two
hours at the mouth of Dog Greek, which will
give some idea of the suddenncss of the
freshet. The owners of the Sacramento road
have already set to work replacing the two
bridges, and will have the route open for
travel in short time.

A Wild Cara decidedly singular wild

A WILD CARA decidedly singular wild
cat adventure took place at Logan's ranch.
on the Sacramento river, about twelve miles
from here, on Monday evening last. Mr..
Logan, assisted by a couple of men, had been
engaged in killing and dressing hogs during
theday, and at-dusk were at work within a
few steps of the house, taking care of the
pork, Happening to look up one of the men
espied large wild cat approaching the
meat, ana Immediately called dog, which
gave the wild cat chase. The door of the
dwelling being open, and no lights burning,
the animal darted in at the door. Mrs. Lo-
ganand children were in the room at the
time. the ledy's. back being turned to the
door, when the animal suddenly sprang upon
her lack and shoulders, whereupon one of
the children, little boy FIVE or six wears of
age, made an outcry and thinking it moth
ing but the dog in playful mood, Mrs. Logan
turned to quiet the child, when the animal
sprang from her on to the child, fastened
its claws in his shoulders, and endeavored to
bite his face. By this time Mr.. Logan got
into the room, seized the cat by the throat
with both hands, and trampled upon its hind
legs with his feet. After a severe choking
the animal released its fore claws from the
child's shoulders, and with the assistance of
the two men the beast was dispatched with
the butcher knife. DR.. Pelham examined
the chiId's wounds and found tbot the mi
mails claws had penetrated to the shoulder
blades. Mrs. Logan sustained no injury
Wild cats rarely attack human being, but
in this instance it is supposed the animal was
ravenously hungry, and excited by the smell
of blood from the slaughtered hogs.
