work them. The great Iowa Hill Canal project

If the lower coast counties, particularly Los

country lauded by pen and picture, as an earth

these fanciful descriptions, and at last decided
to move to Los Angeles and settle down for
thinking perhaps, he would never see them
more. He went, he saw, and to the great sur
prise of all his old friends, he came back to Au-
burn in less than four months, the worst sold
and worst disgusted man we have seen. He
now says 'it is truly wicked that those fellows
down there should be allowed to 60 on and tell
such laundering lies about that country" He
says the foothills Of Placer or Ell Dorado coun-

scenery, wtter, and, indeed, everything, con =

travels The land down there, he says, only in
certain tracts is desirable. and that is held at
such exorbtant prices that it requires fortune
to get foothold. He is perfectly satisfied now
to remain here This is abont the true state of
things down there. The country is largely
owned by land spectators. who are spending
thousands of dollars annually in advertising the
country in order to attract purchasers for Their

tensively, that most Of the immigrants, daily
arriving in California. go directly there. re-
action must naturally follow, and when it does

RAID ON THE CHINESE. lone week ago last
Wednesday night FIVE Mexicans went to a
Chinese camp, near the old Indian Valley
House, abont one mile East OF Pine, and helped
themselves to what loose change the Johns had
about them, amounting to fourteen or fifteen
dollars, besides other things, in the way OF
clothing, ETC., and decamped. On the Satur-
day night following, similar raid was made
on Chinese camp, on Antelope Ravine, near
Penryn. The Johns, this time, were tied, and
then robbed of money, blankets, some clothing,
occasion succeeded in getting about $50 in
money. The Chinese of Antelope say they do
not know who their visitors were, nor what they
looked like. Doubtless it was the same parties
committed both acts. Constable Glow has
been in pursuit of the robbers. but up to last
accounts, had failed to catch them.

where wide strata OF fine coal abounds. The
TEN coming to the eye OF MIR. Cook, he writes
the appeal, saying: 1 should be pleased to see
this statement corrected, rs Colonel Wilson has
no interest in my coal mine, nor have disposed
OF an interest to any one.' We intended to con-
vey the idea that the coal vein had been opened
further South, not that Colonel Wilson's rights
had been extended, and as our language was not
very guarded or explicit, perhaps our readers
may have understood us MS Mr.. Cook did We
are also informed by Mr.. Cook that his lands lie
Northeast from Colonel Wilson's. ON the Inc of
the California and Oregon railroad. and conse-
quently, as we would put it, Colonel Wilson 's
mine is Southern extension of Mr. Cook s; /. e.
the coal mine extends from one mans real es-

EXTRAVAGANT DRESSING IN NEW

Music. In New York. on Tuesday night.
Jan. 20, amid cheerfulness, gaiety and
splendor seldom witnessed even In

etc, contained the names Of many dis
tinguished citizens. The World says:
The character of the dresses formed n
continuous sarcasm on the universal
retrenchment supposed to have been
produced among all classes by the
panic. Costumes of the most expen-
sive materials, and whose every fold
bore witness of their being made by
the skillful hands Of Worth or some
equally recherche artist, were to be
found in profusion, while diamonds
glittered in every quarter almost as
plentifully as have lately been the rain
drops, which they resembled. Among
the many wearers of elaborate toilets
the following ladies were conspicuous:
Mrs. A. T. Stewart wore rich Worth
silk of lilac, trimmed with Point de
Valenciennes lace, with ornaments of
very large, single-stone diamonds.
Mrs. McGinnis had on a French gray
silk, trimmed with point lace, with
pearls and diamonds alteTnated for
Jewels. Mrs. F. w. Tours was dressed
IN a light blue silk, with trimmings of
dark blue, alternating with point lace.
She also wore diamonds and sapphires.
Miss Hattie Vincent wore n sca-foam
silk with tulle and Narcissc flowers and
grass. Miss Louisa Peake Wore a

light blue satin points, trimmed with
rosebuds and leaves, and diamond and
sapphire ornaments,
