GOLD BLUFF.-The Humboldt Timet
of November 18th, says: Huring the pass
Summer party of our citizens, consisting
of Capt Buhne, Messrs. Frank and Robert
Duff and Harry Rogers, gentlemen well
known in our midst, devoted their leisure
moments to prospecting for the ''flthy lu-
ere" in the immediate vicinity of the once
famous Gold Bluff. The result of their
labors have proved the beach deposite of
gold to be rich, which fact becoming known
to the Gold Bluff Sub marine Mining
Company, of New York negotiations have
been entered into by them with the
above named gentlemen for its develop
ment. Capt. l. II. Avery, representative OF
the Company, arrived by the last trip of
the Pc ican from San Francisco, bringing
with him 6-inch "Andrew's Pump" and
other articles requisite to thorough and
complete search for auriferous deposits on
the claim of Messrs. Buhne and Duff The
St Johns Bar, Florida, and is capable Of
bringing from the bottom the enormous
quantity of 70 tons of sand per hour
Should the deposit of gold prove to be as
rich as at present the parties concerned
have every reason to believe it will, we may
look shortly for great results, and total
revolution of the system of beach mining
as conducted on our coast Of late years
Immediately upon Captain A.'s arriva
he purchased the scow Eagle, which has
been decked over, made ready for surfing
purposes, and dubbed, as aprosos to the OBJ
ject for which she will be EN- ployed, th5
Gold Hunter, and in which, as soon as the
weather viii permit, the party, accompani
led by Mr.. Harry Rodgers as engineer, take
departure for Stones Lagoon-the place Of
their intended labors, carrying with then
the best wishes of their friends and the
community at large, for their success il
the novel, and heretofore untried method
of mining. 1t will be sometime before ev.
erything will be in perfect running order
but when they are thoroughly established
we will endeavor to keep the public thor
oughly posted in regard to future results

FIRE.-We regret to learn that A. W.
Bakers store, at Eagle Creek, was destroy
ed by fire Thursday night, December l1th.
The fire caught from the bottom of the
stove. This stove had stood on pine box
for the last sixteen years, and the supposi-
tion is that the dry box took fire from the
heat thrown out from the stove. The ashes
having been taken up pretty close. The
store was insured for sll00, and the loss
over that amount is 5000. The store was
insured for $4,000 up to the 17th of Nov.
vember, when the proprietor dropped of
5000, not feeling able to pay the rates ash
ed by the Company, besides feeling pretty
secure from fire.

CAPTURED.-Schneid f'the man who
stole Bells horse" and who escaped from
Jail last Sunday evening, was captured at
American Ranch, Tuesday, and brought
hack to prison. He was captured under
the following circumstances Tuesday
morning Mr. Anderson's boys went out to
the barn and found Schneider, whom they
did not know, asleep among the bales oi
hay. They ordered him to leave, where
upon he went over to Wright & Bedford's
store, got some crackers, and left. After
he departed, Jerry Wright, Harry Berg
and John a. McCar'ey, happened to think
that he might be the "man who stole Bells
horse" and decided to overhaul him and
see what he had to say for himself, So he
was overhauled, and brought back to the
store, and soon recognized as Schneider
the escaped prisoner. Schneider is not in
as good luck as his pamesake in the play
The namesake didn't steal a horse and ride
it down to Chico and get arrested, but he
mounted "mool' one evening when {
battle was raging, and the next morning he
was "more as a 100 miles away" from al
danger. Try "mool" next time.
The weekly Shasta courier., 1873-12-20

THAT GUN.-Schneider thinks Bob's
Spencer gun will DO to "make-believe
hunt" with, but he don't 90 a cent on il
when it comes to real hunting. Says that
the morning after his escape he felt pretty
hungry, and kept his eye peeled for game
Near Clear Greek he spied a rabbit which
was accommodating enough to stop close to
him for several minutes, during which time
he vainly endcavored to shoot at it, but
did not understand enough about the
gun to succeed in firing it off. Finally he
gave up the idea of shooting the rabbit,
and proceeded little further on, and was
climbing over fence, when the gun went
off, and as he states, "scared him nearly to
DEATH"
The weekly Shasta courier., 1873-12-20

When Schneider got out of Jail, he took
Under Sheriff Kennedy's Spencer rife, and
left the prison building in advance of his
companions. Several persons observed
him slipping along the hillside above town,
in the attitude of a pot-hunter seeking
game, and by this ruse be avoided detec.
tion until he got far enough away to justi.
fly him in taking to his heels.

A sudden revelation came to me
Lot had committed suicide! Well,

Entering the cabin prison, a singu-
lar spectacle presented itself. The
committee stood in a dismayed group
lin the centre Of the room; while Lots
wife, stern and resolute no longer,
bent over the huge dismantled carcase
of poor Lion. Gone was the nerve,
the passion and power. which had the
night previous, supported and lifted
her above her sex. Palmer, more
meagre, if possible, than usual, there
was yet a something touching in her
weakness perhaps because it was so
foreign to her nature.
Lifting her woe-begone countenance
as approached, she exclaimed broken

Hardly had the news of the escape
spread through the camp, when a
horseman, riding at bTeak-neck speed,
came in the midst of cloud of dust,
flying up the trail. In his hand he
bore white signal, which he persis-
tently waved as he had advanced.
Dashing into camp, he threw himself
breathlessly into the midst of the
"Vigilantes."

AN ENCOUNTER WITH THE FAMILY
STOVE AND PIPING-THE STOVE CONES
OFF VICTORIOUS.
Putting up stove is not so difficult in
itself. 1t is the pipe that raises four
fifths OF the mischief, and all the dust
You may take down a stove with all the
care in the world, and have your wife
put away the pipe in secure place, and
yet that pipe won't come together again
as it was before. You find this out
when you are standing on a chair with
your arms full Ofpipe and your mouth
full of SCOT. Your wife is standing on
the floor in position that enables her
to see you, the pipe, and the chair, and
here she gives utterance to these remarks
that are calculated to hasten a man into

pinned over her waist, and her hands
rest on her hips. She has got one of
| your hats on her head, and your liueu
oeat on her back, and pair of your rub
bers on her feet. There is about five
cents worth of pot black on her nose,
and lot of -four on her chin, and alto
9ether she is spectacle that would in
spirc dead man with distrust And
while you are up there trying to circum-
vent the awful contrariness of the pipe,
and telling that you know some fool has
been mixing it, she stands safely on the
floor, and bombards YOU with such do
mestic notices as What's the use OF
swearing SOP You know no one has
touched that pipe you amt got any
more patience than child And then
she goes of, and re-appears with an
armiul of more pipe, and before you are
aware OF 1t, she has got that pipe SO hor-
! riblv mixed up that it does seem no two
pieces are alike.
/ You join the ends, and work them to
and fro, and to and fro again, and then
/ You take them apart and look at them.
Then you spread one out and Jam the
other together, and mount them once
more. BUTT is no go. You begin to
think the pieces are inspired with life.
and ache to kick them through the win
dow. But she doesn't lose her patience.
She goes around with that awfullv cN-
asperatlng rigging on, with length Of
! pipe under each arm, and a long handled
