MINERAL LANDS.
PLAIN WORDS BY PLAIN MAN WHO HAS rNvEs-
TIGATED THE SUBJECT.

Ed. COURIER A few months ago a
large mass meeting of miners assembled at
Shasta and, as they should have done, pass
ed series of resolutions affirming that
the lands surveyed by Col. Magee last
year were, with very little exception, 'ses-
sentially mineral in character, and in ad-
dition to their value for placer mining
'.coutain innumerable veins or lodes of
gold bearing quartz" The resolutions also
protested against persons seeking to enter
said lands as agricultural lands with the in
tention of working them for their mineral" !"
and wound up by the statement-"tha we,
citizens of Shasta County, do solemnly
protest against the Report of Magee, and
pray that said Report be amended SO as to
classify these lands as mineral lands, as
they actually are" In addition to this
general protest, large number of persons
placed mineral affidavits upon said survey
ed lands and solemnly swore that they were
acquainted with the lands and knew them
to be mineral, aud to contain gold in sufi-
cient quantities to render the same more
valuable for mining than for agricultural
purposes" &c. &c The protest and all the
afidavits were forwarded to the Register
at Marysville, the Surveyor General, and
to the Commissioner Of the General Land

KILLED BY FALLING DOWN A MI N
ING SHAFT $50 FEET.

The Washington quartz mine at French
Gulch has been worked since 1852, and
the first serious accident which ever oc-
CURED in it, happened on Wednesday the
Oath instant, resulting in the death of
William J. Christopher. 1t seems that
James Sinclair and Christopher were
working together; that to get to the place
of work in the mine they had to pass
along a straight tunnel three hundred
feet, and then turn short off into side
tunnel A few feet beyond where the
side tunnel turned off was sunk a nearly
perpendicular shaft one hundred and thirty
feet deep. Sinclair went to work before
his companion on the day mentioned and
expected him to follow in few minutes.
Sinclair, after working sometime and not
being joined by Christopher, went out to
see why he had not come to work. Chris
topher was not on the outside, and on search
being made he was found at the bottom of
the one hundred and thirty feet shaft,
still breathing, but unconscious. In going
to his work he had undoubtedly stepped
past the entrance to the side tunnel, and
into the deep shaft. On being found he
was carefully removed from the shaft and
Drs. Shurtleff and Plumb sent for, but the
injuries sustained were of fatal character
and death resulted in few hours after
the accident His spine was broken by
the fall, and that, to say nothing of other
injuries, would have caused death sooner
or later. Deceased was native of Ralent
Parish, Cornwall, England, and aged %
years. He leaves aged parents in his ma
tive place to mourn his untimely death.
He was a man of excellent character,
greatly esteemed by all who knew him,
and occupied the position Of n. g. of the
French Gulch Lodge l. o. o. T at the
time of his departure to that ''bourne
from whence no traveller returns"
