RISING SUS MISE.-We are informed b. Mr.
John Kneeand of Colfax, that this mine has
now better prospect for being permanent and
paying than at any previous time The work
men have reached, at the 30J-foot levol, and de-
veloped a larger and richer ledge Of ore than ct
former time-thc ledge being aomo two feet
thick and showing by the wall rock that it is a
true fssure lode. Some of the rock from this
ledge can be seen at the bank of Hubbard &
Andrews in this place. 1t shows plentiful diff
fusion of free gold and gold-bearng sulphurets
and is not specimen ore which we regard as a
very favorable indication. This Company de-
serves success, as its pluck and perseverance
has been almost without a parallel. 1t has
spent over ninety thousand dollars, and has
brought to the surface something over 100000.
but plenty ST such ore as that we inspected will
soon change the balance sheet in favor Of the
Company.

AUBURN Brass BAND.-This institution is now
a fixture of the town, and under the arrange
ments is to be perpetual The committee on
finance. Messrs. Crutcher and Swan, have sue
ceeded in collecting sufficient money, near $400
to purchase frst-class instruments and music,
and one of the members Of the band, J. H. Neff,
went to San Francisco on yesterday to purchase
and bring up the peices and outfit. Thus the
fears and hopes Of the public on this subject are
all at an end, and its chief desire is gratified;
but not so with the members of the band, as
their labors are just about to begin, especially
those who have never attempted to toot wind
instrument. One member or this kind says he
will make his horn toot or 'bust, or his bel
lows collapse. Many of the members are old
musicians, and with such a determination on
the part of the new beginners there is no chance
of failure.

Z. S. MAIL RoBBED AT ALTA-Last Saturday
night very bold and desperate robbery OF the
United States Mail at Alta in this county, was
two mail messengers, were at supper, the train
being stopped twenty-five minutes for that pur-
pose, two (some think three) men cut q small
hole in the glass door, and with some prepared
instrument lifted the catch OF the latch and en-
tered the car, seized the through mail bag con-
tanning the registered letters and packages. The
robbers then went under the freight depot, cut
the bag and stuffed their pockets, but were SO
hurried to get through and go on the train that
they left 81, 600 in coin and one registered pack
age, merely throwing gunny sack over it, III
hopes OF securing it until they could return at
some future time and get it. The robbers had
failed to shut the door of the car, and the mail
agents on entering Immediately discovered the
robbery aud gave the alarm Soon after the
train left Charles Banvard, boy about 13 years
old, and a man went out with lantern and
tracked the robbers under the depot, and on re-
porting this fact others joined them and the bag
and remaining contents were soon found. The
robbers went on on the same train to Truckee,
where they dropped thu remainder of the plund-
er through hole in the sidewalk, with the e1-
ception of about $1,000 in coin, and possibly
some currency and bonds. This ''plant' was
found by some young pups playing in and out
OF the hole and carrying out some of the regis
tered letters. This second ''plant," found by
the pups panncd out S32, 600 anda large amount
OF coupons and registered letters All the con-
tents of the bag is believed to have been recov-
cred but the 81, 200 in coin and few single way
registered letters. Three men arrested at
Truckee, but only one held. and there was moth
ing found on him to prove his guilt. The rob-
bers were evidently as familiar with the mail car
and its contents rs were the mail agents them
selves, and are splendid thieves, but very poor
hiders. These facts we gather from persons in
the vicinity of the robbery and they can be re-
lied on % correct

The School GROUNDS Cannot some purchase
be rugged to raise funds to grade and plant the
School lot in ornamental trees this Spring? The
house was built behind the hill for some cause
unknown or explained and now the easiest and
cheapest way to remedy the defect is to grade
the crown of the hill off and fill up the low cor
ner with the surplus earth and rock. Perhaps
this was the view of the committee that super
intended the erection of the building and if 80,
it was right in placing the house where it is,
but the plan should be carried out, or at least
desperate struggle made to secure the means to
do so. If the lot was graded to give a
gradual crowning descent to the street and then
planted with choice varieties Of native and for
eisn shade AMI orn I'M ,na trees, it woul not
be eIcelled in beauty or comfort by any School
lot in the State Of its size. Unless this thing
can be done soon, another year will be lost on
the growth of the trees. Certainly as large and
prosperous a town, and with as liberal and we'll
to do population as Auburn, might raise the
means to do this work now, and be proud OF it
ever afterwards.

LET THEM CoME.-We saw letter last week
to Mr.. Robert Gordon, merchant of this place
from the representative of three four families
residing in San Francisco, who desire to get into
the country, enquiring what could be done in
this neighborhood. If they are honest indus
trious, careful, prudent people, We answer, by
all means come; but if they are hunting an i'm
mediate fortune with or without labor, and only
desire to make temporary residence here we
say stay away. All Of the former class of resi-
dents here making good living obtaining
homes, accommodating property and laying the
foundation for n competency in the future in one
Of the most pleasant, healthful and promising
sections OF California. All the land in these
foothills is now in market, and can be bought
as mineral or agricultural, either from the Gov
ernment or Railroad Company and that class
OF people who desire to build up homes and per-
manently reside here are desirable, and the
country is admirable and just suited to Their
wants.

GRAvEs-PUTNAM NINE AND MnL-The mill of
this Company on Baltimore ravine, near here is
completed and has been running on the rock of
the Company for eight or nine days, but part of
the time with light head of water and only four
camps. Ina day or two more the owners will
make the first clean up, when an approximation
TO the average pay of the ore can be reached.
The mill, we learn, is working well, but, as is
the case with all new mills, will not do its best
work at the start. The mill will crush from ten
to fourteen tons per day, and the ledge as now
opened can, we should say, easily keep it in
constant operation with the ore now out-some
five hundred tons.

DELINQUENT SEMINARY LANDs.--In our new
advertisements to-day will be found the list of
delinquent Seminary lands. There are one or
two tracts advertised which we know to have
been paid for in full, but by some error in the
Office in Sacramento they, also, have been re-
turned as delinquent. Werefer especially to the
lands located by G. G. Rice, near Lincoln, and
those Of Jacob Stelhng, now Andrew Ludwig's,

UNDER THE GAs-LIGHT.--There is o prospect
of having Auburn lighted by pneumatic gas,
which, we hope, may be success. Mr.. L. W.
Myres. agent of the Pacific Pneumatic Gas
Company of San Francisco has been in town
during the week for the purpose Of offering to
our citizens proposition to establish gas works
here and furnishing superior and abundant
supply of gas to feed all the burners that may
be required. This pneumatic gas is Of recent
invention having been first patented in 1865,
and improved and perfected from time to
time in the generating and improvement Of the
works until 1867, when the last two patents
were issued. The names of the officers, j. W.
Stow, Ira P. Rankin, E. j. Pringle, j. j. Felt,
and A. P. Brayton are guarantee of the ability
and reliability of the Company to fulfill all
its undertakings This gas is made from num-
Der of products of crude petroleum obtained by
distillation, and it is claimed to be perfectly safe
and harmless, furnishing clearer, more mel
low and steader light than can be obtained from
coal, and at about one-third or one-fourth the
cost indeed it is claimed that burner of this
gas giving double the the light Of large coal
oil lamp will cost but one to one-and-a-haf cents
per hour. From the recommendations of those
who have used it, q long list of which We have
before us, we are bound to admit its efficiency
and economy. Mr.. MyrHs proposes to erect the
works here and lay down the mains through the
streets and furnish the gas at IS per 1000 feet
provided he can be guaranteed go burners, the
parties being at the expense of placing the pipes
and burners in their buildings. We are favora-
bly, impressed with the proposition, of course
leaving the matter of the price, length OF time
and the conditions of the contract for future de-
termination between the Company and those
stipulating to use the gas. There being no
town organization here, each party to the con-
tract would have to sign it for himself. Per
haps good way to proceed, after the requisite
number Of burners are obtained would be to
call a meeting of the subscribers who might, by
committee or otherwise perfect the arrangement.
NEVADA LorTERY.-As there are good many
tickets of this scheme held in this town and
county, we give below the numbers drawing coin
prizes and the amount of each prize. The 9th

we have kept file of the National Gazette and
