A number OF masons lately employ
ed on the new Court House at San
Bernardino came in on tue train yes
tertlay morning. They report that
the masons and their tenders, some
twenty-five in all, made n strike on
Monday last, owing to the fact that
the contractor, who owed them from
$50 To 5000 each, was exceedingly
dilatory in his payments. After the
strike he "ponied up" and most of the
men went to work again.
1t seems that Daniel Newman, who
was implicated in the shooting of
Gabriel over a year ago, has got into
an endless round of legal troubles.
His fourth or fifth suit growing out of
the difficulty was tried in the District
Court yesterday. 1t came up under
the title of Sanchez VS.. Newman,
with the alleged charge of contempt
of Court, at the same time involving
the title to a certain piece of land.
The result was that the defendant was
released on nominal damages, each
party paying costs and an alias writ
being issued, which disposses Newman
of the land in question.
Mr.. Shang called upon us yesterday
and exhibited some fine specimens of
cinnabar which were taken from the
mountains about six miles west of
San Fernando. 1t is claimed by ex-
perts that the ore is genuine and rich
in quicksilver. There are, no doubt,
large deposits as the ledge can be
traced for $500 feet. Upon this five
claims of $500 feet each have
been located by Mr.. Shaug
and party. The ore is 10 be
smelted in a day or two to test
its value, and we will then be able to
give more accurate information con-
ceruing it, If the discovery should
prove to be good cinnabar mine it
will pay several handsome fortunes to
its owners, and,at the same time max e
valuable acquisition to the mineral
wealth already known to exist in this
range. <taa 20

THE GOSPEL OF LABOR.

| I have smoothed from my forehead its sad
. ness;
Ills o'eri Thank Heaven therefori
| would hide now with garments of gladneS'
The ashes and sacl<cloth OF war.
| Not a word of the pastl 1t has perished,
Gone down To its beauty and bloom;
Yet because IL SO proudly was cherished,
Shall we sigh out our years at its tomb?
Let US wrest from the future the guerdons
That to resolute purpose belong;
Letus fling from our spirit their burdens,
And quit us like mon and be strong.
I bring you, compatriots, brothers,
(As largess ye dare not disdain,
Life Natures, that bountiful mothcr'S)
Savaunahs rs smooth as the main.
My valleys shall whten all over
With SHOWS never born of the cold,
And grain, like Midas shall cover
Every slope that it touches with gold.
The clink of the artizan's hammer
Shall scare from the forest its glOomS;
In the brake shall the waterfalls clamor
Be drowned by the clash of the looms.
Then up from your torpor, ye sleepers;
The dream you are dreaming deccives;
Go forth TO the field with the reapers,
And gather the prodigal sheaves.
With focks gladden. meadow and mountain
With tinkling herds speckle each hill
And blend with the plash of the fountain
The rumble and roar of the mill.
Brave hearts that have welded the sab, +,
Staunch spirits that stood by the gun;
Take heod to the gospel OF labor
The old dispensation is done!
Put hands to the plow of endeavor,
Plant foot in the deep-furrowed track.
Set face to the future, and never
One wavering moment look back.
For none who despairingly centre
Their thoughts on the by-gone, and ban
The present are fitted to enter
The on-coming kingdom of man.

Mr., Thompson, the worthy clerk of

Last Wednesday Judge - was
passing down Spring street on the Jail
side. He halted suddenly: his atten-
ton seemed to be fully riveted on
something on the opposite side of the
street. 1t was to him as music from
the spheres; but those sweet sounds
proceeded from Decker piano, touch
ed by skillful hands. Now that same
Judge is accustomed to hearing by his
own fireside a first-class piano and
none of the many scrub pianos which
are flooding the California market
would have arrested his attention.

About Panamlnt.

A private letter received from a gen.
tleman in Panamint, bearing date of
December 9th, has some points of in
terest about the new mining district
which may be valuable to those who
contemplate going there. We make
a few extracts: "Panamint Is lively
place and much business is being car
ried on here, but / think that every
thing will soon be ovcrdone. would
advise any who think of coming here
to wait until Spring. The Panamint
Mining Company is the only one
which employs many men. About
four hundred are now in their employ,
including Cinnamon. Mr.. Jones tells
me that he will reduce the number
this Winter, but will open up with a
large force in the Spring.
There are about 1900 men here
now and still they come-some with
out cent and some even without
blankets. What they will do this
Winter, God only knows. There is no
place to sleep now, and people are
glad if they can spread their blankets
under any kind of n covering. Two
lodging-houses are going up, howev-
er, and will be furnished soon when
better accommodations will be offered.

ing much attention. Some very good
lead and silver lodes are being discov-
cred there and also some gold"
