But in asmuch as during our rounds, infor-
nation was impaired to us relative to a defaca-
ton of public moneys alleged to have been CON-
mitted in one of the said departments about six
years ago, and which has not before been
brought to public notice. we recommend to the
Board of Supervisors the expediency of secur-
ing the services of an expert and assistant for
the purpose of thorough examination of all
the county officers books.
We further recommend that fire proof vault
be provided for the safekeeping of all county
records, there being no assurance against fire

for their courteous assistance in the discharge OF

GRAND JURY REPORT.
DEsERTER

To the Honorable County Court of Placer
County. The Grand Jurors for the November
term, l873 respectfully report as follows:
We have examined all the cases brought to our
notice and have found one bill for murder in the
first degree and ignored the rest.
We further report having visited and examn-
ed the County Hospital and found the patients
we'll and kindly cared for; but we consider
the cooking arrangements inadequate for the
requirements of the institution, and recommend
the building of cooking Range, and also of a
wash house for the benefit of the patients.
We have also visited and examined the County
Jail, and approve Of the general management;
but respectfully call the attention Of the Board
of Supervisors to the insecurity Of the fasten-
ings Of the cells, the want Of ventilation, the
dilapidated condition OF the flooring. etc. We
recommend the fitting up Of proper quarters for
pr. soners charged with the commission OF light
crimes, for female prisoners, and for persons
awaiting examination on charge Of insanity.
We further report having visited and exam
ined the books Of the County Clerk. Recorder.

LINCOLN Coal M1sEs-Our friend Temperanc

LINCOLN Coal MINEs.Our friend Temneronce
generously sends us the following interesting
particulars regarding the coal mines now being
developed at Lincoln;
I'm company with W. Shattuck, visited
Lincoln on Wednesday, for the purpose of
learning the facts in relation to the vein of coal
discovered at that place. On arriving we met
MIR. kinkade, who has charge of the prospect
ing or works. We found him a very agreeable
gentleman He gave us all the information we
could possibly desire, of his operations and
their results up to the present time. His first
boring was on the west side of the railroad,
about opposite Stockton's cold warehouse, or
where it originally stood. At a depth of fifty
hve feet he struck the vein ten feet thick; after
which he commenced shaft II by7 feet for
working purposes and failed to strike the vein.
In the end of the shaft the indications were
such that it was evident that he was on the
north side of the vein, and that it run east and
west and not north and south, as he at first sup
posed. This had been done at an expense of
some five hundred dollars, and the steam hoist
ing works were already ON the ground, but he
boring apparatus onto the east side of the rail-
road, about five hundred feet east of his first
boring and little south. In the first hole at a
depth of fifty-two feet he struck body of coal
ten feet thick. He then moved about 12O feet
SOUTH and at depth of So feet found it 10 feet
thick. When he had completed this hole he was
satisfied he had found the proper spot to sink
his working shaft, which it is his intention to
start very soon. Mr.. Kinkade appears very
sanguine that he has struck a good thing and
in fact, almost every resident of the burgh has
already derived benefit, if you can judge sue
cessful people by their cheerfulness. Messrs
Shattuck & Rochon, of Sacramento own GAO
acres of land adjoining the town on the west,
and it would be almost impossible to purchase
their interest at this time

LIVING ADVERTISE EaiENTs .

A medicine that has done more than all the
prescriptions of the pharmacopeia to protect
the human system against the bodily ills SUI
perinduced by unhealthy surroundings, is
certainly worthy of universal confidence. 1t is
mainly on account of its extraordinary pre-
ventve properties that Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters is exceedingly popular in localities
subject to the visitation of minsmatic fevers and
other diseases produced by empoisoned air A
family that has escaped sickness Turing a sickly
season in consequence of using the Bitters as a
safeguard, is n living advertisement of the vr-
tues of the preparation. The whole neighbor-
hood realize the fact. II couldn't have believed
it, says one II scarcely credited the adver-
tisements; but one must believe what one sees, I"
says another. 1T is the very thing we need in
this unwholesome section of country" remarks
third. And the result is that the instinct of
self-defense, the first law of nature, induces
threefourths of that community to obtain
supply of the great vegetable antidote before the
next sickly season sets in. In Winter, when the
system requires extra vigor and elasticity to
enable it to battle the effects of damp and cold,
the Bitters will be found particularly serviceable
rheumatism will not be apt to fasten upon the
muscles and nerves that have been braced up by
this excellent invigorant and nervine; nor will
the seventies OF the season, which have such a
disastrous effect on the pulmonary organs of the
feeble and delicate. be likely to exercise the
same untoward influences in cases where the
stomach and the external surface of the body
(Which always sympathizes with the digestive
organs) have been toned and stimulated by
course OF the restorative. The fits or indiges-
ton and irregularities of the bowels which pro-
ceed from sudden changes Of the weather may
always be averted by timely nse of the Bitters.

TIE SOLDIERS Bounty Bill
There is now pending in the Legisla-
ture memorial to congress asking for
the passage Of the soldiers bounty bill
upon which We commented some weeks
ago, and which has passed the House
We trust that the Legislature will
promptly reject this memorial. The
bill is rather IN the interest Of specu-
lators than the soldiers and ought not
to pass. Il would dispose, it is said,
Of 800, 00o,C of acres; and in less
than q year after the passage Of the
bill spectators would own nine -tenths
IF it. and that a a very small benefit to
the soldiers. Already the spectators
are smacking their lips in anticipation
Of this rich plum which they trust is
about TO fall Into their mouths.
If soldiers really wish to settle upon
farms they can, under the existing
homestead law, secure one without
cost 50 that there IS no need Of the
passage Of the bill on that account.
If the design be to hestow a bounty
upon the soldiers then it would be bet
ter to give them money. and about $50
each. would he al they would realize
out OF the 100 acres of land which it
is proposed to give them, provided they
should sell soon after locating the
land, as the great majority of them
would Let legislators take these
things into considerations Wisconsin.
