purchased majority of the Spring
Valley Water stock for the sum of

Castroville, Cal, Dec. IA This
town had a narrow escape from
general confiagration this morning.
DR.. Kirkup, who was stopping in
the rear of Mallory's drug store,
was awakened about 4 o'clock by
the smell OF smoke. He sprang out
of bed and ran into the store, where
he saw a sheet of flame shooting up
the shelving. Water being handy
he succeeded in extinguishing the
flames without assistance. The fire
originated by mice gnawing into
some parlor matches kept in box
made of wood, near to two cases OF
coal oil.

influence of whisky and very abu-
sive. Sleepy George stepped up and

will prove fatal. Riggs was ar
rested.

alias Frank Connolly, in the County
Jail for shooting man ten days ago.
Yesterday these two were placed
among a half dozen others. Mr..
Solomons and the ladies identified
them as the robbers, and a charge of
robbery was preferred a
gainst both of them. Dunn is a
young man, but an old offender. He
was arrested two years ago for rob-
berry on Mission street, in connection
with Budd Riley, who got IS years
in the Penitentiary, Dunn being al
lowed, in consideration OF his youth,
to go on shipboard and leave the
country.

MIDNIGHT DISPATCHES

Victoria, B. c., Dec. 1.-THE In
dams in Jarvis county are becom-
ing troublesome. A telegram from
Burrard Inlet reports great excite
ment there, in consequence of all
the Loggers in the employ of Moody
Nelson Il Co. having been driven
away by armed Indians, who have
taken possession of the camp and
provisions. One of Her Majesty's
gunboats received orders to proceed
thither. She will leave here this
evening. The cause of the trouble
is unknown. Further particulars of
the report of several Loggers being
killed and wounded are lacking;
supposed to be sensational.
Tucson, A. T., Dec. l4.--In the
District Court, the jury in the case
of C. V. Moore, for the murder of
a Mexican at Desert Station last July,
returned a verdict of manslaughter.
Prescott, A. T., Dec. II A sta

San Francisco, Dec. l4.-The in
quest on the bodies of Leonard
Watkins and his wife, whose life he
took last Friday night, as described
in Saturdays dispatches, rendered
a verdict in accordance with the
published facts. The deed was de-
liberately planned and executed by
Watkins. The stories he told at the

finally obtained weapon, and his
conduct up to the time he fired his

SINCE the trains of the Central Pa
cific have quit stopping at Battle
Mountain, the three-card- monte men
have about abandoned the town.
The Eureka Sentinel says that "near-
ly every man in Battle Mountain
wears watch presented by the
three-carders," hence draws the con-
clusion that the citizens of the place
are disposed to shield the robbers.

DON'T Do IT.-Our attention has

our citizens in throwing ashes on
Main street. In many cases they
contain nails, and frequently cripple
horses or mules being driven by in
large freight teams. In incorpora-

bidding the throwing Of ashes in the
streets, and should be in this town.
Let all resolve not to do so in future,
and we will have less crippled
horses.

MINING CLAIMS.

gNANlN" y AfAhWSs
The first of January will soon be
here, says the San Francisco Min
ing and Scientific Press" of the 18th,
and negligent miners are again re-
minded that they must do the work
required by the laws of the United
States on or before that date, or
they will be liable to lose their
claims. 1t is not to be expected
that Congress will again postpone
the time within which the required
work must be done, nor is it just
that is should do so. Plenty of
time and warning have been given,
and claim owners will have none
but themselves to blame if they for
felt their rights by not attending to
their property in time.
If certain claims are not of any
value, they will now be abandoned
by the locators; and it will proba-
bly, happen that some of the Jump
ers" will get fooled in some cases,
supposing that work is not done be-
cause it has been neglected. AS a
general thing, however, none but
claims of some value will be liable
to be jumped, and many of these
claims have no doubt been "spot-
ted by this time by parties on the
lookout for just such chances. A
good many miners will, of course,
put off doing the necessary work
until the last minute, intending to
commence work on the first day of
January Those who are left out
in the cold by procrastinating can
blame only themselves.
The best way, no doubt, for bona
fide locators to do, is to patent their
claims at once. This will save an
nual expenditure and give a good
title at the same time. A patent is
a very good thing to hold in case of
a sale. The English purchasers of
mining property will not now look
at anything which is not covered
by United States patent, and it
is an incentive to any purchaser to
know that he is sure of a good title.
WHY NOT MEET We have re-
ceived communication from Day
ton asking enlightenment, in sub
stance: "Why don't the Republican
County Central Committee have a
meeting, and finish some unsettled
business?" We have met a couple
members ofthe Committee and asked
for information. There are five
members, three of whom prefer
meeting in Silver City, and two at
Dayton, including the Chairman.
The Secretary, Mr.. Davenport, can
not we'll leave his business, having
no deputy, hence desires that the
Chairman call meeting for this
place. DIR. Buncher insists on call
ing the meeting at Dayton, but can
not get quorum to act with him.
This is about all the information we
can give on the subject. 1t would
seem that a reconciliation should be
brought about, and matters pertain
ing to the late election settled up.
For the credit of the party we hope
that meeting may be held at an
early day.

their great Confucius in the sec
ond chapter of his Mundane Mu-
tations, where he designates kind
of golden age by the term Che
fang, literally the Cooks Holiday.
The manuscript goes on to say,
that the art of roasting, or rather
