Pit River.

During the week number of residents
of TT. Crook and Big Valley we're in town
aud reported that the excitement about
the Big Valley mines was rapidly dying
out, and that the impression WAS & lining
ground that there was nothing to justify
the rush which had set in for that locality
Only one paying pocket has yet bc.a found
IN the mining district and that can be
worked out in a few months Except this
pocket nothing has been found that would

Election.

The election for supervisor Of the Firs,
District came of on Wednesday, polls be.
ing helt at Whiskytown and Shasta
Benjamin Oliver Of Poverty Bend was the
Democratic candidate and G. C. Schroter
OF Shasta was the candidate Of the Union
Republicans. Up to within few days of
the election our Democratic friends Law
very low and had nothing to say except to
throw out 'quieter" occasionally by re.
marking that .'of course there would be no
contest-that they had no intention of run
ming candidate" etc but all these little
statements did not tally with the fact that
they had a candidate in the field. that run
ners were out to notify the boys to be on
hand. in the hope that by polling some.
thing like full vote they could elect their
candidate BY taking their opponents una,
wares and. catching them out on slim yote.
But on election day it was apparent that
the Union men of the District were not 90
ing to take desperate chances on getting
sole out, and so they rallied and rolled a
very fair vote. the returns 70 ting up az
follows: Shasta-Schroter lC9, Oliver 81;
Whiskytown-Schrottr S2, Oliver Z; to-
tai majority for Schroter, Y.
S. itseems that the cry of Fifteenth
Amendment" ..Chinamen," 'the Republi-
can party has petered out" &c. has not
frightened the people of this vicinity into
voting the cmvcraric ticket very exten.
sively yet That G. C. Schroter will make
an efficient and faithful official we have not
the slightest doubt, and that the people of
the First District have acted wisely and
well in electiug him, we feel assured.-
For the Republicans the result is hand
soa,c victory. for the supporters Of Oliver
regular Sedan defeat.

course those outside of the I ompapv only
know SO much of cause or operation as
they may please to make known. W, be.
ileve the chief reason to be ii at the nre.
sent arrangement of the financial condition
OF al Europe, growing out of the French.
Prusslan war, has created difficulty for
enterprises Of this nature to procure the
vast amount of means required to conduct
such extensive operations. The deprecia-

greater sacrifice OF interest than business
prudence would warrant. Their stock will
all be turned QUO here, ready for operation

The plant is late and small in parts of

growing rapidly in the recent favorable

in planting time is attributed the bad

the fields being infected with lice, has
