ANOTHER GREAT EXCITEMENT PREDICT
ED.-Those best informed in regard to
the mining developments and prospects
OF this district predict that the coming
summer it will be the scene of q greater
mining excitement than at any previous
time in its history. The prediction is
based on the tremendous amounts Of
high grade ores out and ready for crush
ing, and the improved condition of some
mines which have as vet scarcely been
heard of in the stock markets. We be-
lieve the prediction will be verified.
A SAMpLER.-An individual purporting
to be the proprietor of a grocery in some
of the outside camps had sampled liquors
in various houses, and was doing driv.
ing business in that line at the establish
ment of Alex. Brown, through polite
young man recently from the East, who
had just been employed, when he was re-
quested by the proprietor to bring in his
key before pushing his investigations
further. He is through sampling at that
house.
WE learn that Senator Cole, Of Cali
fornia, has introduced land bill in
Congress more suitable 10 the physical
peculiarities of the Pacific Coast than
the existing homestead and presumption
laws. Under it 100 acres Of farming
land, GAO acres of grazing land, and 80
acres of timber land, may be acquired
by the same claimant. This is meas
ure of obvious justice to mountain pre-
emptors and homestead claimants.
The law against vagrancy should be
enforced here. A fellow stopped gen.
tleman on Main street, last night, and
asked for dollar, saying he was hun.
cry. The gentleman proposed to take
him to restaurant and pay for a meal.
This proposition made him stink off. He
was doubtlessly in quest Of tarantula
juice.
The donkeys are now enjoying almost
a monopoly of the wood carrying bust
ness. 1t is as much as horses recovering
from the epizootic can do to wade
through the streets and pull their tails
after them.

house of the Lightner Hook and Ladder
Company is draped in mourning, in re-
