Tue most iVS"a ane SneiSSNS
Union men in this community is Eugene
Bi,tncr. He is not only au earnest
worker for the good of his country. but
in political matters he is ready and will
ling to back up his opinions with coin
if called upon. lie has been betting
pretty freely lately on the result of the
coming Presidential election, and
among other bets, lie closed n with
DR.. Weber, this morning, of $500,
Bittner betting that every State in the
Union which was a free State before
the late war Of the rebellion, will go
for Grant and Colfax, with the excep-
ception Of Oregon, that State not being
taken into consideration. The money
on both sides was deposited at the CAL
ifornia Bank at 10 A. NJ. to-day. He
also bets $500 with Johnny Riordeh
that the State Of New York viii go for
Grant and Colfax. The stakes are
10 be put up by . O'Clock this
evening, otherwise the party failing
to do so, loses 500 forfeit money which
is already up on each side. With Wm,
Woodburn, of Virginia, he bets $50
that the State of-New Jersey viii 60 for
Grant and Colfax. This last little old
State is considered by many the worst
point in the case. II has been finally
decided to he one of the United States,
and we doubt not will prove itself this
fall not TO be the God-forsaken locality
some people would try and make 1t out
to be. Bittner says he is doing this
betting from purely patriotic motives,
and If his contributing a couple OF thou
sand or so would insure the complete
success Of the Union cause, he would
give it most cheerfully. He has got a
large amount OF hats, boots and cigars
bet with Charley Watson, on Union ma
jori,ies in California as high rs 5000.
We have no special wish that any hnan-
cial calamity may fall upon Charley or
any of the rest, but W. surely hope Bit
ner may win. IL the prayers of the
righteous will avail in the matter, we
shall not fal to render Bittner that
requisite assistance.
YELLOW JACKET HOSE COMPANY Re-
RousISG.-The gallant boys Of Yellow
Jacket Hose Company No. =, Gold Hill,
had q re-housing Of their machine last
Saturday evening. The old brick and
stone building ut the upper end oil town
had become long ago too much dilapi-
dated for further occupancy, but an eli
gible house could not well be secured
until recently, when the small wooden
building jus, below the San Francisco
Restaurant, on Main street, formerly
occupied by Town Attorney Lansing,
was fitted up for their use. The build
ing is q small one belonging TO the
town, therefore there is no rent to pay.
II consists Of u main room large enough
for the machine, n small rear room for
the steward, and n little side room for
company meetings, etc. After n trial
Of their hose attached to the hydrants,
wetting down their new house, as we'll
rs the street far and near, the boys
housed their machine in her new quar-
tiers in due form. Lager flowed, happy
words were spoken, everybody felt
kindly disposed, and NIL that sort OF
thing.
MORE Doc FiGgr.-Gold Hill is get
Ting famous for her dog fights. The
fall dog fights seem to have set in. The
dogs arc on i, like wolves, and Main
street is the grand canine arena. About
noon to-day, in front of the Eclipse sta
hles, a big, stout young butcher dog
and an ambitious old dog got to fight
ing, attracting quite q large crowd OF
those whose tastes run in such direc-
tions. The fight was simply the young
dog holding the old one by the neck
until pulled loose by respectable citi-
zens. Now, in the name OF humanity
and common sense, We desire 10 here
enter our protest against any further
Items of this kind. They are bad. 4
dog fight can stir up i'll feelings and
perhaps u man fight or so about as
quickly as anything Of the kind we
know Of. In trying to separate these
dogs to-day q gentleman came very near
getting into difficulty with the owner
of one Of them. We hope to see the
proper officers attend to their duty IN
this respect q little closer hereafter n
summarily nip al! these hrutalizing dis
i%urbanccs in the bud.
lupERiAL-ENPIsE. - This important
shaft is now sunk nearly seventy feet
below tho 90O-foot level. Very speedy
propress canno DO made at the present
time owing to the hardness Of the rock
encountered. The Imperial drift at the
9OO-foot level is still being pushed west
and the face of it is now in soft quartz
and porphyry, with no very encourage
ing indications Of pay orc, although II
should encounter some before long.
The raise from the drift to connect with
the winze from the 70O-foot level is in
hard quartz, and ia about 100 feet up.
The winze from above, is down about
90 feet. The two will connect in the
course Of n couple of weeks. The En-
pire drift is also being pushed further
west, and the face Of it is in porphyry
with little or no indications OF pay ore.
We hope TO give a better report of mat
ters ~thereabouts. before long.
SEVERE P~RAcricE.-A couple OF little
bows on Crown Point R~av;ne, or neal
there, got to throwing stones at each
other this forenoon, and one OF them
got hit by a small rock square on the
left eye. Two quite extensive gnshes
were cut, one above and the other be-
low the eye, but fortunately the optic
itself escaped serious injury, although
the dark swelling around it was terrible
10 behold, completely closing the eye.
His father seemed to think this little
episode would be a warning to him in
the future, but the youngster~ evidently
was of the opinion that il was all in
his eye"
