SHEEP AND CATTLE FOR THE MoUNTAISs-For
the past ten days large droves of cattle and sheep
have passed through here almost daily, for the
mountains for Summer grazing The rush OF
stock mountainwards has been greater this season
than we have ever before known it, indeed we
believe the thing is being over done and that the
supply of foodin the mountains will be exhausted
long before the Fall rains set in.

"ACROSS THE CHASM.-
A Southern Organs Way OF Looking
Mt the Talk About Reconciliation.


From the Quitman (Ga.) Review
The atrocities of the Northern soldiery
are still too fresh in our memory; the
scars on our heart are not yet erased; the
names Chickamauga and Elmira still suf-
fuse the eyes with tears and the heart
with terrible thoughts of vengeance.
An! it is too soon to make light of the
four years struggle for liberty. Widows
have not ceased to lament the loss of
husbands; mothers still cherish the men,
ory of departed sons; brothers and Sis
ters still remember idolized fathers and
brothers. The reminders of wars ter
rible havoc are still visible-the grim
landmarks of a venal host are not erased
the blackened ruins made by incendiary
and hireling armies are altogether too
fresh in the minds of Southern men-to
expect from them even political indorse-
ment of all the atrocious acts of a vandal
host. When We so debase our manhood
when we so outrage all the nobler feel
ings of hunanity-as to stand over the
graves of our Confederate dead, and in
the language of the ninth resolution of
the Observation-Disclosures platform, ex-
claim, 1--WE remember with gratitude the
heroism and sacrifices of the soldiers of
the North may our tongues cleave to
the roof of our mouth, and may Gods
thunderbolt lay us ifeless over the sacred
mound We thus dishonor!

WHERE GOVERNMENT LANDS MAY BE
HAp.-A resident of Truckee. who has
business relations with Sierra Valley, in
forms us that there is still at least 81, 600
acres of land in that valley, which have
not yet been pre-empted by settlers nor
grabbed by swamp land" sharpers. The
Sierra Valley is one of the largest valleys
in the npper Sierra. 1t is celebrated as
a dairy region, the grass being fresh and
succulent long after feed has dried up in
the parched country below, while the
cool climate and pure cold water are ex-
cellent aids in making of the tirmest and
best quality of butter, Dairying is the
chief agricultural pursuit in Sierra Valley,
but very fine crops are also raised there,
the climate not being by any means SO
cold-owing to the sheltered location of
the valley-as the altitude would lead the
stranger to infer Sierra Valley lies some
twenty miles north of Truckee, with
which place it is connected by two or
three lines of stages and good wagon
road.-S. F. Bulletin.

THE JULIA MINE.-Says the Territorial
Enterprise of yesterday:
The hoisting works of the Julia Mining
Company are already in full blast. Since
starting up the water has been lowered
some forty feet. In day or two the
work of drifting on the oOO-foot level will
be resumed A drift 125 feet in length
has been run in an easterly direction
from the main shaft, encountering good
pay ore. The ore increases i'll richness
as the drift progresses. From present in
dications the Julia bids fair to take high
rank among the leading mines on the
Comstocl1 lode. For hoisting purposes
the company have procured one Of the
largest engines on the coast, having %
inch cylender and 4O-inch stroke. - The
frame of the building is partly inclosed
and is constructed in the staunchest man
ner. The gallows frame is built of heavy
timber, and is Al feet in height. As re-
CARDS economy and convenience the
building and machinery cannot well be
improved upon. The old pony engine
belonging to the company has been sold
and will do duty hereafter in the Wood
vile mine.

The decision Of James Z. Jones, Captain OF

against Harbor Master Daniel Hart entirely excupates
Mr. Hart in accordance with tho evidence presented at

named Niver, whafnger, who alleged that the money
had been sent to Hart by Milton Knapp. This money
was returned to Nlver aferward by Mr. Hart Ut.
Knapp positively that Mr. Hart had never directly
or indirectly demanded money from him. ana that Wheh
he gave the $500 to Niyer he understood that Nver ~
