GooD PAY.-John Miller, Constantine Nicho-
Is and George Manuel have been prospecting a
quartz lead between town and Baltimore ravine
for some time past, and few days ago they had
twenty tons of the rock milled at the Empire
mill near Ophir, which yielded about twenty
nine ounces of pure gold, or fully $40 to the ton.
This crushing contained none of the specimens
taken from the shaft, and has convinced the
boys that they have good mine. They have
now gone to work Systematically ON the ledge,
and will prove its true value before ceasing their
labors.

woman had heard quarrel going on on the
porch and the fight which resulted in the death.

L. Campbell, the next morning, that the man S
name that done the killing was All Han and that
the two Cinnamon were all that was there. All

Local and County Matters.

FATAL Acc1pENr.--Paul Cox, one of Placer s
Oldest and most esteemed citizens who has re-
sided on Coon Creek for the past twenty years
was accidentally and suddenly killed, between
his ranch and Bear river, on Tuesday evening
last Deceased and Mr.. Whiting had been to
Grass Valley, each with large team, and We're
returning loaded with lumber. Whiting was in
advance. and after arriving at Cox's ranch, some
time after dark, and Cox not coming up with his
team Whiting and some of the men at the ranch
went back on the road to see what was the mat
ter. Before going far they found the team
standing in the road, the wheel having struck
stump or rock and stopped it. little further
back they found Cox lying dead at the side Of
the road with his neck broken. The load was
high one, and the seat on the top, and the sup
position is that Cox had been doing or drowsy
after the long days drive and wheel suddenly
going into rut had pitched him off, head fore
most thus dislocating the neck on striking the
hard ground. There were indications of Cox
having jumped to his feet and again fell and i'm
mediately expired Cox was peculiarly noted
/. for his quiet sober and Industrious habits, and
his sudden death has cast a gloom over his old
friends in central and western Placer. He leaves
wife and three or four small children to mourn
his loss. As an old neighbor and long time
friend. we pen these lines in deep sorrow.

In the Supreme Court Of the United
States vs.. Henry Grossmeyer, appeal
from the Court Of Claims: Grossmeyer
prior to the rebellion was a citizen of
New York, and he had claims for loans
and other Indebtedness against one Elm
stien. a resident of Georgia. and after
he war commenced, through a friend
who passed back and forth, be be-
came interested in cotton which was
managed by Einstien. Subsequently the
cotton was captured by the army at sa-
vannah which was sold by the Govern
ment and the proceeds paid into the
Treasury. The Court of Claims finding
that Grossmeyer never had been within
the rebel lines, and was loyal throughout
the war, gave him judgment for the
amount SsO,496. This Court now re-
verses the judgment of the Court OF
Claims. Justice Davis delivering the
opinion. holding that all intercourse be-
tween the sections closed became illegal
mon the outbreak of the war without the
enactment Of any law on the subject,
and that Congress did not intend
there should be any misapprehension
among the people concerning it, as it
had expressly declared the fact; that il
would be unlawful therefore, for Gross
meyer, in person. to have done the acts
claimed to have been done by his agent
and If the act Of his principal wonld
have been unlawful that Of bis agent must
be unlawful; also, it follows there was no
authority for the purchase Of cotton for
claimants by Einstein, and there being
no authority for its purchase, of course
no title passed TO him, and he was NOT
the owner of the property and has no
rightful claim to the process. The opin'
ion takes the ground that there could be
no valid agency created after the com
mencement of the war to do any act fol
or between citizens adhering to different
sections, and that the whole transaction
was consequently void.
