the 18th instant, passed off very pleasantly and
was we'll parronized. a number of ladies from
Weaverville attended, ard most of the candi-

was nevertheless success. Politicians and
dance-goers alike satisfied with their visit to
Canyon City, and departed with a lively recol-
lection Of the genuine hospitality displayed by
the oblging and attentive landlord and laadlady
of the Canyon City hotel.

HAIL SToRM.-Weaver basin was visited by a
lively storm of hail and rain last Tuesday after
noon. We believe the hail did no damage TO

was of some benefit to grass. For two or three

for this section-had been close and sultry, but
since has been very pleasant

IN CONCLUSION.

By the way Of winding up must tell your
readers of good joke which happened TO one of
our citizens recently while on visit to Hayfork.
In crossing stock range he saw several head of
cattle and thinking them wild, he halloed. The
cattle thinking he had come to give them salt
made rush for him, with heads and tails erect,
and the poor fellow actually took up tree and
staid there some three or four hours, until they
had all left. He then went to n neighboring
house andsold of his miraculous escape, but all
laughed at him saying the cattle were perfectly
tame and merely wanted salt.

MINING AT LEWISTON. - We understand that
two or three companies intend going into the
river, near Lewiston soon. The river is already
at a very low stage and all the fords passable.
There is every reason to believe that the Trinity
will be lower this summer than ever before
within the remembrance of the oldest inhabitant.
There is not ripple in the river, unworked, that
may not be made to pay good wages this season.

MINES AND MINING.

Most of the miners in this section now
busily engaged in '' cleaning up and money is
already beginning to be plenty. AS none of the
claims have finished yet, cannot give you the
amount of the gold yield now, but will do SO at
the earliest opportunity.
Mr. Joseph McGilivray is now in San Fran
cisco, for the purpose of purchasing iron-pipe,
which he intends 70 place across Trinity river to
carry water from bis Canyon creek ditch to some
valuable claims on the fiat and bar opposite,
and also to carry water as far down the stream
as his saw-mill. Speaking of Mac, reminds me
of proposition be made few days before going
below, and one which it would be well for some
of enterprising miners to consider The
fiat on this side OF Canyon creek and in the rear
OF Buffers old place. is said to prospect big, and
could water be had the place would pay i'm
mensely. Mac says if any number of miners
will put up 81 zoo, subject to his order, when
the work is completed, that he will bring water
on the ground for them and give them their
moneys worth in water. This ground is very
rich and also extensive. Let twelve miners
with SlO0 each prospect it and put up the for
felt, provided they feel justified in so doing, and
when the water is there they will no doubt reap
large benefit from their investment.

JUNCTION CRY, June %, 1869.
DEAR JouaxAL:-The weather is warm and the
flies, as we'll as candidates, are getting rather
numerous. However, think, that with the as
sistarce Of a friend at my elbow to keep off the
former, and all the doors in the house locked to
keep off the latter, can find time enough to
give you q few items.
HORSE RACING.
The races to come off on the Sd OF July are the
general topic of conversation at the present and
everybody one meets talks borse. If strange
horse comes into town, before be is fairly
hitched, some fellow will be measuring him with
tape line, and expatiating upon his good or
bad qualities, as the case may be. Many races
have been made up and the betting is running
high. Those mentioned in my last letter are the
prominent ones as yet, although there are others
spoken of which bid fair to eclipse anything in
this line which has ever taken place IN the
county. liearn from reliable sources that many
fast horses from Humboldt, Siskiyou, Shasta
and Tehama counties, will be on the track, and
beyond doub. all will have an opportunity to
show their speed and bottom. Louis Raab says
that if his horse Uhe "Old Cow ~ wins the
races before mentioned, that he will challenge
any horse in Ncrihern California TO run him
single OaStl OF quarter mlc lOE 81" i"n6-
ing from $500 to 81 600. Two gentleman from
Northfork were here last Sunday examining
Raab's horse, and before leaving they stated
that they intended to bet $500 on his winning
the race against Jackson's bay which is now at
Northfork. being trained by Mr.. A. l.. McWhor-
ter George Grover, of this place, has charge
of Raab's horse, and Mr.. Mart Van Matre, of
Minersville, will ride him. Both animals are in
the best condition and the race between them
will undoubtedly be closely contested. There
are so many races talked of that it would be
folly to try to mention all much money is al
ready in the hands Of various Stockholders and
great deal more is to be put up From all
that can learn, there will be about $1,000
change hands on the days of the races. un-
dersand that it is the intention of those inter-
ested to put up a tent on the grounds and pro-
vide '' free lunch for ali present, and the Wea-
verville brass-band will be in attendance. The
races will probably continue through the Sd and
4th. All the boys of this section propose going
to Weayervile on the 5th.
FOOT RACING.
For the sake of variety, it is proposed to have
grand foot-race for purse to be made up here.
Any person who wishes may enter for this race
and the winner takes the purse. We have a
man here who challenges any person living
within ten miles of junction City, for hop, step
and a jump for $50 Who'll take it? | have
no doubt but that somebody will ring " in on
