A CARELESS ACT.-The Chinese of our town
are much given to noisy demonstrations and the
burning of fire crackers before their dwellings

quite careless and troublesome at times. An
incident in point and bordering on the ludicrous
occurred one evening this week. AS one of our
citizens was passing through Chinatown fol-
lowed by his dog, bunch of blazing fire crack
ers thrown from China house, fell Immediately
under his canine attendant. The frightened an
mal in attempting to avoid the startling appari-
ton, sprang against his master, knocking him
down. Upon regaining his feet, the gentleman
mentioned, after ascertaining that he had re-
ceived no serious injury, in no very good humor,
entered the building from which the fire works
had been cast. But no one was there It's in
mates had witnessed the mischief they had
wrought, and dreadng the consequences, had
incontnently skedaddled Not long afterwards
Chinaman waited upon the gentleman referred
to at his own residence to explain and apollo

JUNCTION CrrY.-We paid short visit to juno
ton City last Saturday and Sunday The miners
were all at work, consequently there were but
few men about town. The proprietors of the
Carter House attend to a traveller as though they
had served thorough apprenticeship at the
business. We found Thede 4 Baumgartner TAX
ing the world easy, Osthoff, Kuper, Gross and
Louis Raab, ditto. Thede lately received let
ter from F. Walter, saying he was closing his
business and should come to California as soon
as that was accomplished. Mr. Walter wrote
from New York and sent Thede handsome
short-stemmed meerschaum. Last week the
skeleton of some mammoth animal was found in
Keno fiat; the greater portion of it was sluiced
away before it was noticed. 1t was found i'm
bedded in a strata of clay and most of the
bones crumbled to pieces upon exposure to the
air. We saw two pieces in tolerable state of
preservation. One of them is supposed to be a
part of the hip joint, and is several times larger
than the corresponding part of largest-sized
OK the other is supposed to be a part of the
animals tuSk. The bone, conjectured to be a
tusk, was about nine feet long, as large as a
mans thigh at the large end and about two and
one-half inches through at the smaller end
These remains are certainly great curiosity,
and could they have been obtained entire would
have been interesting to look at. 1t seems prob
able that the formation in which they were
found is the same as the Union Hill claim of
Marshall, Mason Co., near Douglas City, noted
for developments of q similar character VIM
Cothier & Co. last week struck very rich de-
post on the bench below Keno fiat and it is
believed have just as good ground as that above
