DID NOT KILL HIM.-Last Monday China
man who was working in the Booth Mine, on
the sixtyfoot level fell to the bottom of the main
shaft,a distance of thirty feet, almost perpen
dicular, and still lives. The men working at the
bottom were somewhat surprised to see John
coming tumbling down the shaft but their sur
prise was turned to astonishment when they
found the spirit of the poor heathen had kept
company with the body in its terrible decent,
and discovered no signs of a speedy separation of
the twain. Though John is still alive, and is
likely to be for some time he sustained some
severe cuts and bruises in nearly all parts of the
body, and suffered, we are informed, a disloca-
ton of the ankle He was taken to the County
Hospit Il for treatment

SMAsH-UP AT RocKL1N Last Friday night, q
week ago, what is called the yard or switch en-
gine at Rocklin was left on one of the side
tracks, with about ten loaded freight cars
coupled to her. About clock, from some un-
known cause, she started. Several of the en-
gineers around the yard heard the exhaust Of
the engine and rattle of the cars, and hurried to
discover what was the matttr, but were too late
1t seems that some one had been tamperng
with the engine as the engineers all say that il
is next to impossible for one to start when left
properly, rs this was, without some assistance

gine, with its tfah of ten cars was travelling at
fair rate toward the end of the track on which
they had been LETT Before anyone could Jump
aboard tb stop her hendwas, the end of the
track was reached, and six of the cars run off on
the ground. This would not have been so bad
of itself, but it happened that row of Chinese
cabins, DIT the time filled with celestias, stood
close to the end of the track and in direct line
with it. The cars went completely through the
first cabin, knocking it to slivcrs, and oilers
were only saved from being served likewise by
the intervention OF large oak tree, which was
struck by the corner of the first chr, and thus
turned the course Of the train from the cabins

Cinnamon in the cabin that was deffoished,

CORRESPONDENCE.

Ed HERALD:-On my way 10 this camp l

fine horses and light buggy. conveyed me to
Yankee Jlms, where | met with O hearty well
come from my many old friends.
The mining interest at this place has taken q
lively start. The Georgia Hill Consolidated
Mining Co., L. Z. Nougous Supt., have had
some men employed all Summer fitting up their
claim. 1t is now their intention to increase tn,
number OF men, grade and build 500 feet of new
slulres, under currents etc. so as to be ready
when water comes. The Gilbert Eros have
employed themselves steadily all Summer run
nlnS tunnels, drifting. wheeling the pay DIRT out
and exposing it to the air, that it may Slack and
give up the precious ore more readily when they
have water to wash. Welker and Hodge. the
owners Of the original Yankee Jims claim,
are still taking out the yellow metal, in what
quantities. though, / was unable to learn.
Many Others too. numerous to mention, are
making extensive preparations for the coming
Winter.
After refreshing myself with some of the deli
cious fruit which Yankee Jims has in abund-
ance, started up country. In passing Smith S

SCIENCE AND SMtr.-"No two men are alike"
is well exemplifed in the case OF the two young
men in this town, who are noted for their three
regular visits into the country each week, to see
the object OF their affections II they were
alike, there would be no contrast, and the world
in which these aspiring geniuses move would be-
come monotonous; but they are not alike. and
hence there is contrast, and that contrast is
this When one goes to see his girl he loads
himself with nm arithmetic, a slate and three
pockets full of slate pencils, and seeks to charm
his charmer ny lucid explanations OF difficult
problems in mathematical science. The other
provides himself with a pack of cards, four
burnt corks, and endeavors to captivate his
captor by daubing her face all over with smut ;
occasionally allowing her to daub little on his
own face, to convince her of its harmlessness.
He knows she will think Of him after he has
gone, when laboring before the mirror, in n two
hours endeavor to ralicate the marks OF his
cruelty, and it is sweet to be remembered when
absent. We have heard it laid Gown as a rule
in capturing sweetheart, to ''study her wishes
and respond to them This different course
of procedure may, then, be due to the different
dispositions of the fair ones-one taking pleas.
ure in having her intellect enlightened in the
science of arithmetic the other finding pleasure
in having her countenance darkened with burnt
cork otherwise, the road to fame of these two
youths affords beautiful contrast.

RACE AGAINST TIME.-The most eventful horse
race that has taken place on the Auburn Park
race course, this season, came off last Saturday
afternoon. The race was between T. E. Ste
phen's m, Puss; and time ]. J. Smith having
made wager with the owner, to the amount of
twenty-five thousand mills-not saw mis--that
Puss could not trot mile inside Of four min
utes. At the time appointed large crowd had
gathered at the Park. c.. G. Crosby. joe
Mclaughlin and Geo. Crissman were chosen
Judges. The word to get ready was given, and
in few minutes the little mare crossed the
score IN fair trot, driven by her owner and
away she dashed, in a gallant endeavor to win
for her name place upon the scroll of horse
fame. Many watches were held on the little
flyer, and much ahAiety was plainly depicted on
the couhtcnances Of her friends as she came in
on the first half mile, amid the denfening cheers
of an excited throng. in 2 minutes and sec
onds. Away she dashed on the second half,
in all appearance, we'll settled to her work.

TIE JULIAN NINE.-This mine, located on
Jenny Lind Flat, about one mile below New
castle, is, II not the best, certainly one Of the
best opened quartz mines in the county. Mr.

fine 2O-stamp mill near the mine. Since the
completion Of the mill he has had force of
soout fifteen men in the mine extracting ore =.
They have now few hundred tons out enough

until sufficient force can be obtained to take
cot rock enough to keep the mill running. He

Source OF Many Ills,

II all the ailments, bodily and MENTAL which
torment the human family could be traced to
their primary sources, it would probably be
fourd that three-fourths Of them originated in
the failure Of the stomach and the other organs
by which the food is converted into nutriment
and applied 10 the PURPOSES Of life, to perform
the tasks allotted to them by nature, vigorously
AMI regulat1y. This Being the csse the vast i'm
portance of medicine which ccmpels these or
gans to do fheif Whole duty thoroughly and
efficiently, becomes at once apparent. Hostel
ter's Stomach Bittets may be truly characterized
as preparation Of this kind indeed as the only
one which can be implicitly relied on as combn-
ing the properties Of q stonfachic an Alternative
and All aperienC in srfcl1 proportions as to pro-
duce simultaneously tho desired effect upon the
disordefed stomach, liver, and ntestines. This
conclusion is warranted by the celebrity and cer-
tainty with which the Bittefs affords relief in
chronic cases Of dyspepsia. torpdity of the liver
and constipation. The false ldea that these
complaints and others that grow out of them,
could be cured by fierce cathartics, has at last ii
is hoped. been thoroughly exploded. The sick,
during the last hundred years. have swallowed
thousands ct toms Of mercury. scammony, gam
boge. crotof OIL jalap, etc., and tens of thous-
ands of graves have been prematurely filed
thereby. But ever since the principle Of renova-
ton, as embodied in Hostetter's Stomach Bitters
was arrayed against the principle OF prostration,
as represented by mineral salivants and furious
purgativcs, the latter has steadily and surely
fallen into deserved contempt. The outcry
against stimulation by which coucoctors of de-
pleting drenches hoped to give eclat to their dis
gusting and dangerous compounds has only
served to increase the demand of the wholesome
stimulant, tonic and Alternative which for twenty.
five yeazs triumphed over all opposition. and is
now the most popular medicine in the Western
hemisphere.

RICH STEIKE.--Just now, while the Booth
the Julian, the Crater, the Greene and the ST.
Lawrence mines are running on good sound
basis, with good results, or encouraging pros
poets. we hear of the discovery of another ledge
which, so far, promises to equal the best. Last
week Charles Robinson an old quartz miner in
this section, discovered ledge below Auburn
so rich. our informant tells u.s. that they
pounded out about $500 in less than o day, with
a hand mortar. This makes Charley feel good
and we are glad of it. He was telling of his
discovery to some of the boys the other day,
when, it is said he put his thumbs in the arm
holes of his vest AM throwing himself back
with the air of million lire, said: 'By jolly,
boys, / have got the mine of this district!'
Charley is as clever boy as hunts for gold and
our wishes are that he has got nll he expects.

Coon SIaN.-We believe that every house and
cot in Auburn, tho roof of which will turn rain
and some, the roofs of which will not turn rain,
has tenant, and we know of several cases
where two families are living in the same house.
This would indicate that our town is little to
small for its business 1t is seldom a town gets
in such fix though the other extreme is CON-
mon. For our part we prefer to see the houses
occupied, than to see them as we have seen in
some towns, falling to pieces under the pres
sure of neglect and emptiness.

RArN.-The recent rains have wet the ground
deep enough for blowing, and consequence
the farmers are as busy as bees. Should the

As early sown grain is considered always the
safest crop, this opportunity to SOW early may be
taken as a favorable indication of good crops
next year. Let them come. The farmers in
Placer county need some such result, to COM
pensate to some extent tor last years failures.

How They Do IT.-Some persons can't be
convinced that some things can be done as well
as others, unless they have demonstrative expe-
rience and some of that class do not under
stand how Governor .:Bramlette manages to sup
ply the great demand now made on his Office
for tickets for the next and last Gift Concert of
the Public Library of Kentucky. The Concert
comes off Nov. 30th, and there will be distribut-
ed $2,5000O0 to the ticket holders. therefore
there is Lo wonder the rush for tickets is unex-
ampled yet everything is so beautifully and
Systematically managed that every order is be-
