The WIZARD CLAIM.-rhIs is a new or nearly
new quartz location, about three miles from here,
and just beyond Bald Hill. 1t was first opened
or worked on, we believe, by broken or
strapped slight of hand showman-hence tn
name. The claim has prospected well from the
Arst, some small tests showing as high as forty
dollars to the ton. A short time ago the claim
became the property of jeremiah Milton and A.
0. Bell and they commenced work, sinkinl
down some twenty feet and taking out and hay
ing crushed, at the Empire Mill, some three
lies distant ten tons of the quartz, which
yie,ded S3S so to the ton. This claim is located
on a parallel ledge with the Wells lead, and
shows from ten inches to two feet thick, with Il
number of small stringers coming into the main
ledge at the shaft There is money in working
this claim so far and the owners are going ahead
to take out more crushings and continue its
working, feeling confident they have a good
thing.

HEALTHY 1NDIcATIoNs.-We believe there is
scarcely dwelling or business house in town
unoccupied or unengaged and the demand fol
more residences and business buildings is still
on the increase. To meet this demand, our
neighbor, Moses FREEDOM, with a careful eye to
business, has the lumber on the ground and is
about to erect business house on Nevada st .
a few doors from The HERALD office This is as
good If not the best business portion of the town.
and this building when finished will not go m
occupied.

PRESENCE OF MINp.-On Wednesday evening
last as Miss Emma Swan was lighting the lamp
at her fathers residence on Broad street, by some
means the oil in the globe of the lamp became
ignited; she attempted to blow it out when it
fumed over and commenced blazing all over the
outside ALSO in the emergency she picked up the
flaming lamp in her hands and apron and car
red it out and set it down on the ground and
then smothered the flames of her apron out III
her hands, and gave the alarm. We We're the
first on the ground after the alarm, and found
the flames shooting up some three feet, the fluid
boiling over and burning all around, and we
pected every moment a burst and Settlement
of the burning oil all over the premises, but we
grabbed a big bed comfort, and Emma brought
pail of water and we smothered it out. This
carrying blazing oil in calico aprons proved saft
enough to Miss Emma with her presence of
mind, but we would not advise ladies generally
to follow her example lest funeral might follow.

Local and County Matters.

HOME NEws-We select the following items
relating to points in Placer from letter to the
Scientific Press, by Mr.. L. P. McCarty: 'Rock-
lin at present contains about 300 inhabitants. 1t
is the point from which nearly all the blue gran
ite building and paving stone is brought to Sac
ramento and San Francisco. Messrs. Brigh am
and Hawes, foot of Third street, San Francisco,
own the largest quarry here, and the only one
that is now being worked. They employ from
ten to fifty men the year round, and ship by
railroad to San Francisco, annually some 3o0u
tons of this, the finest building stone in the
State About four dollars per ton is paid the
Railroad Company, to lay it down In your city.
The largest Round House on the C.P.R.R. is
situated at this place 1t has the capacity OF
housing at one time 2S engines. large num-
Der of mechanics, consisting of machinists, cop
per-smiths, finishers, ETC., ETC., are kept con
stantly employed here, keeping the engines III
repair. Newcastle, some twelve miles further
east on the railroad, is an important station,
from which large quantities of fruit are shipped
both to your city and to the East. Over thirty
tons of berries cf the different kinds, were ship
ped from this one station this year. Mr.. Chas.
NJ. Silva has about ten acres under CULTIVATION.
He has cleared from this little spot over $500
per acre each year, from berries of different
kinds. OF strawberries alone he marketed five
tons this year, and they averaged him twenty
cents per pound. One mile north of Newcastle,
diverging from the Railroad, is the little camp
of Ophir, containing about 100 inhabitants.
Within the town limits of this little camp are at
least three men getting rich off of the fruits and
berries of from five to ten acres of land each.
Messrs. Jamison, Bromley, and Rev n. K. Peck
are the gentlemen in question. From good au-
thorty, learn that these gentlemen clear from
$500 to $1,000 per acre annually will not at
tempt to particularize, but will give an account
of few of the many products of the Rev Mr.
Peck's ten-acre orchard and vineyard. He will
market this year from 1900 to 200O lbs. of black
berries, at an average of twenty cents per lb. ;
1000 lbs of dried figs, at Is cents per lb; from
Ito 10 tons of apples, at cents per lb besides
several tons of rasin grapes, German prt'les,
rhte figs, peaches, pl,,n's, nectarines, &c.

and intermediate points, at 81 80 on the Sacra-
mento end of the road, and one dollar on the
Marysvlle end the round trip, but no connec-
tons are made with this, the Central Pacific
Railroad by these trains. We are not decided
as to the greater good or evil of this kind OF
meeting, especially where the cities can be emp
tied out on the camp ground at cheap rates by
excursion trains. The people of the Lord will
be outnumbered by the people of the devil.

FRE.-About IL O'Clock on Wednesday last
the roof of the residence of Henry Fellows Dis
trlct Attorney, on Sacramento street, was dis
covered on fire, and before the flames could be
stayed considerable of the roofngwas destroyed
But for the promptness of our citizens in rush
ing to the rescue the entire building must have
been destroyed. Many believed the building
could not be saved and all of the furniture was
already removed before the fire could be sup
pressed. We learn there was no insurance on
the building or furniture.

= A special dispatch says that the Presi'
dent after consultation with Gen. Sher.
man on Friday last, took occasion to for:
ward TO Gen, Sheridan several official
documents which In reality place him In
tho position Of representative Of tho
President as Commander.in.chief Of our
army and navy. He also sent some telC.
graphic messages on the subject TO Minis.
ters Bancroft and WashDurue and to Gen.
Sheridan. There Is no doubt in the mind
OF Gen. Sherman that Gen. Sheridan will
ie admitted to the headquarters Of both
the French and Prussians and treated
with all the proper courtesy. He says
that Dr., Evans had no right 10 make any
request Of the French authorities for Gen
Sheridan, and that when our minister re-
quests II there will be no refusal.
