YoS CREEK,-There was considerable excitement
on Canyon creek last week, the origin and par
ticulars of which, a. given to us, are as follows
During the wintss, several instances of sluice-
robbing have happened on the creek and were
credited to the Chinese. On Thursday night,
18th instant, the claim of Murphy l. Matthewson
was similarly visited, and their head-box cleaned
out, the thieves obtaining an amount variously
estimated at from fifty to two hundred dollars
The next day some twenty or thirty miners held
meeting and passed resolution that the Chi
nese should pay the sum of two hundred and
fifty dollars, as an indemnity to the different
parties whose claims had been robbed. the
money to be paid by the following Sunday. un-
der penalty ofbeing compelled to leave the creek.
Since then, but at what time we have been nm
able to learn, ttesIa of expulsion was post
poned two weeks later. We understand that no
other steps have been taken nor violence used,
and 1T is the general impression that no further
demonstration will be made.
LrrrERRRoM WHITE PIxE.-Mr Charles Kuper,
of this place, has received letter from his
brother Ernest,s written at White Pine. The
writer says that times are lively with him. in his
trade (carpentering) that he has two contracts

days. Every thing is high meals, 81 lodg-
ing, 81; -four, Is cents per pound potatoes,
35 cents onions, 40 cents; cabbage, a5 cents ::
lumber, from as to 45 cents per foot He says
it is hard telling how the mines will turn out
New discoveries are made every day, but look
like pockets. The ore is rich but does not ap-
rpear to be in regular. lodges. He does not ad-
wise any one to come now. Jesse Pitzer is there,
and he thinks will make plenty of money be-
cause, in his opinion, the whole county will be
involved in lawsuits The locations claim from
800 to 800 feet each, but the shafts are. sunk
not more-than 90 feet apart: No shooting yet,
but is to be expected. = .,- 4.
SANITARY REGuLArIoNs-A series of repuIa-
tions, ten in number, have been drawn ND and
presented bxthe Health Committee to our peo-
pie for observance by them. They are posted in
a conspicuous place and it is to be hoped will be
read by all and obeyed to the letter Even
should any believe that but slight cause existed
to apprehend any serious consequences from
failure to regard all any of the recomenda-
tions of the committee, still must remember
that to make thorough work we must all act in
unison. I'VE have said before, and we repeat it
again, that any carelessness or Indifference on
the part Of individuals by which the small pox
nav be scattered among would be highly Grim
inal in its character and should be so regarded.
SMALL PoX MEETING.-Pursuant to notice, the
citizens Of Weaverville assembled at the court
house last Saturday evening to adopt measures
for the suppression of the small pox. Nessrs,
M. F. Griffin, John Martin, Richard Clifford,
John B. McMurry and o. Fl. P. Norcross were
appefuted q Board of Health for Weaverville,
to raise money, procure suitable buildings and
attendance, and take all steps in their iu;g-
ment necessary for the call of small pox cases,
or to prevent the spread of the disease. The
committee was instructed to call meeting
of the citizens at any time during the week they
might deem necessary. The meeting then ad
5ourned to assemble at the same place on Satur
day, February 9th, at o'clock P. NJ.
OPPOSITION Red Bluff people talk of
building a boat to in opposition to the
California Steam Navigation Company. SO far
such attempts have always resulted in the oppo-
siton' being bought off 1t may be that charges
on river freight too high, but unless the oppo-
siton is of character to guarantee certainty and
dispatch in the transmission of freight. the old
line will retain the bulk Sf the freight above
Red Bluff.
HUDsoN l. MESEr's ANNUAL.-We have re-
ceived from Hudson Il Menet, advertising agents,
at New York city, their Annual for 1869. 1t is
neat little publication, containing, among
other things, a complete list of newspapers pub
lished in the Pacific States and Territories, and
directs the attention of-busness men in the East
to the growth, resources and glowing future in
store for the Pacific coast
Jusr ARRIVED FROM JAPAN by reference to
our advertising columns it will be seen that the
latest sensation is to be found at Norcross' gall
lery, corner of Court aud Taylor streets The
"Signor says he g will take extraordinary pic
tures" at greatly reduced prices. 1t is an OBJ
ject to save money these hard times. Give
'sSignor Hu Embug'' a call.
