ARRIVALS AND DEPARTURES.

AiNo WV
for q month or two past, by crossing
the Crown Point, Kentuck, and Yellow
Jacket ground, on the l,OOO-foot level,
to the shaft Of the Yellow Jacket, where
the ore Is raised to the surface. The
track grade over the Crown Point,
however, has been almost too heavy
for men to push the loaded cars, and
the work out too many men. SO
Hank Smith, the foreman, conceived
the idea the other day to buy a couple
Of good stout mules, n for each
"shift" Of the workmen, and introduce
them into the mine to draw the cars
over the heavy grade. One Of them
was lowered down through the Jacket
shaft last evening, at 0 o'clock, being
dashed, hand and foot, and swung off
under one Of the cages. This new and
interesting miner Kept entirely quiet
and docile while hanging over the
yawning abyss Of 1000 feet, and he
arrived safe and sound on the platform
below, where he was loosened from his
ropes, and seemed to rather like the
situation, being not at all mulish, and
he was Immediately treated to q good
feed Of soaked barley and hay. This
animal Is 1000 feet from daylight,
down In the bowels Of the dark earth
perhaps the only one in America so far
away from grass. The other mule Is
to be taken down In a day or two.
CARSON ITEMs.-We extract the fol-
lowing from the Register Of this MORN
Ing: The Bond case was ably argued
yesterday BY Acknowledgement Buck
ner and Col. Ellis for the State, and
Judge Mesick and Hal. Clayton for the
defense. Much forensic e~loquence was
displayed, as might have been expect
ed from the great talent Of the gentle
men engaged. The case was given to
the Jury In the afternoon, and shortly
after z O'Clock they brought in a YER
dict for defendants. -. We have to an
nounce that the Hon. Jas. A. st. Clair
has accepted the position Of Deputy
Warden Of the State Prison. No better
selection could have been made, or one
that could give more general satistac-
ton. He Is strictly q temperate man,
courageous, competent In every way
and In whatever situation he may be
placed will do his whole duty. This
we sayf from a knowledge OF his ante
cedents. -. The Treasurer OF Humboldt
county paid into the State Treasury on
Wednesday, g.. $40 "A. The Treasurer
also received from the Treasurer Of
Storey county, on the same day, $780,
900. A nice little haul in ono day.
A HOARD OF BULLIoS.-The Enter
prise says: It is supposed, and not
without reason, that Squires and Davis
have somewhere In the neighborhood
OF their old haunt in the Flowery Dis
trict, on Six-mile Canyon, about five
miles below this city, a great hoard Of
bullion, coin and other valuables, the
result Of their many robberies. Some
think they have cached somewhere in
the hills not less than half 4 ton OF
bullion, not to speek OF other nice
pickings. This secretdeposit Is thought
to have caused Squires to hover about
that neighborhood as long as he did
after escaping from the State Prison.
He could not get away with or without
his spoils in his prison garb, and the
person who furnished himself and VIII
lis with literary and other food, seems
not to have cared to furnish them a
change of clothing, which looks as If
he had some object In keeping them
lodging about in the hills. He proba-
bly, wanted SQuires to come out with
a portion Of his hoard In consideration
OF his furnishing him q proper travel
ing rig. Here Is probably another
chance for seekers after hidden treasure.
BE1cHxR.-The ore body at the
lower level Of this mine Is looking bet
ter and more extensive as further de-
yeloped. 1t has been drifted upon $50
feet south from the Crown Point line,
and the face Of the drift assays over
Sl25 per Ton. How far south it may
extend Is of course merely a matter Of
conjecture, but every foot adds vastly
10 the value of the mine. The present
high price Of the stock Is based upon a
very rich and substantial foundation.
REWARDED Sheriff Atkinson re-
ceiyed from the Governor five hundred
dollars reward for the capture Of the
two escaped convicts yesterday MORN
ino-43OO for Squires and 5000 for Will
liz. This prompt payment Of rewards
will be an Incentive to parties to hunt
nm more, although the amount offered
seems small, considering the risk in
hunting up such despesate characters.
LAST DAY OF GRAcE.-We are de-
sired by Town Marshal Harkin to
ooain call the attention of those tax
payers in Gold Hill who have not yet
cashed up, to the fact that unless they
dqy) evening, ten per cent. will be add
ed to their taxation.
HALE & NoRcRoss.-Last week the
Hale & Norcross mine yielded zoo tons
of ore, and showed an accumulation Oh
1850 tons low grade ore on the Dumps
SAvAeE.-Thls mine yielded asst
week $50 tons Of ore, assays OF which
