LARGE MoRTGAGE.-The Central Pa
cifc Railroad Company have mortgaged
their railroad lands for the sum of $l0,-
600, ,000 The instrument recites that the
party of the first part desires to raise
money for the purpose of completing the
construction and equipment Of said rail
road and telegraph line from :he town OF
Roseville to the northern boundary OF
California, and from the town of Lathrop
to the town of Visalia, and also for the
payment of the debts and liabilities of
the said party Of the first part. 1t has
been recorded in the counties Of Sacra-
mento, El Dorado, Placer, Sutter, Klam-
ath, Yolo, Del Norte, Colusa, Tehama.
Butte, Shasta, Trinity, Siskiyou and
Plumas, in California Ormsby, Lyon,
Elko, Storey, Washoe, Eureka, Lander,
Humboldt and Churchill, in Nevada /;
and Weber, Davis and Box Elder, in
Utah. The margin Of the document is
adorned with the stamps Of the State of
Nevada to the amount of $S,74

VALUE OF FREE LABoR.-An ex-slave
owner writes rs follows to an Eastern pa
per: Wash, man-oEall- work, valued
at 81 800; Sarah, No. cook, 81 400
Harriet, house girl, 81 200 and Nancy,
nurse, $500. The legal interest (seven
per cent? on the value of these slaves
was $3.50 per annum, and | had to feed,
clothe, pay doctors bills, etc. Now |
have the same service performed at $500
per annum. | feed these hired servants,
but furnish no clothing nor pay doctors
bills, and get the same service per month
for less money than when / owned slaves,
and if they die | lose nothing. Now
when | acquire my capital | can put il
in other property, instead of locking it up
in slaves. This, think, illustrates the
whole question. The land owner can
avail himself Of negro labor to-day, at
less cost than when he had to pay for the
slave and take care Of him.

COUNTERFEITERs ARREsTED.-A Chi.
cago dispatch, Of Nov. lst, relates the
following: "The Chief of the United
States Detectives Of Washington, is here
with the counterfeit plates captured, and
the counterleters caught at Cen;ralia
H., with Sl50,000 in counterfeit notes.
There were fifteen plates in all. Among
them were the original and famous five
dollar plate on the Traders National
Bank of Chicago complete. two fiber
plates, Stanton head fifty cent fractional
currency plate complete, and Dexter
head fftycent fractional currency plate
complete. Also transfer or title plate
for making counterfeit fye-dolar notes
on the First National Banks Of Paxton,
Canton, Aurora and Peru, Illinois, and
$500 in counterfeit money. The Traders
plate, which is one of the most perfect
ever made, has been drawn up from the
back, the word Traders erased, and the
word First substituted, thereby enabling
the c0untenei.ers TO make s. notes on
any First National Bank in Illinois.
They were found in the edge of cornfeld
in five different packages, each opposite II
young sassafras tree, the one nearest the
road being blazed, to enable the counter
feiters to readily determine where they
had buried their plates. The plates were
waxed and placed in tin boxes which
were filed with printers ink. This rds
the country of the most skllful and sue
cessful gang Of counterfeiters that ever
infested it,"
Weekly Trinity journal., 1875-11-06

A LITTLE GAME OF DRAw.-Thomas
Willigan and Pete Brannan engaged in
quiet little game of draw poker, in the
Bulwhacker saloon, yesterday afternoon.
During the progress Of the game Wiligan
held two pair, and filed by drawing the
poker. He drew it from under the stove,
and when Brannan Clipped, Willigan
raised him over the head with the poker.
Brannan saw the raise and went him one
better, when officer Kelly stepped in and
called them both. The case was contin-
ued in Justice Logan's office, and his
Honor took IA hand. On the first hand
Willigan Clipped, pleading guilty, and
then passed QUITO the County Jail.
Brannan went blind and the Judge strad e.
died his blind, which amounted in all to

THE Coal MINES OF SHAsTA.-The
following is from the Shasta Courier Of
October 30th: Years ago coal was dis
covered on the head waters of Clover
creek, and specimens Of the same were
tried in several blacksmith shops and
pronounced good coal. At that time
there were no roads leading to the locality
where the discovery was made, and, as
in those days gold was all the go, but
little attention was paid to the coal bed.
But times have changed, and coal is now
considered good thing, and ommands
gold. The developments in Peck & Kin
caid's coal claim, and the great attention
it has recently attracted from capitalist.
and owners Of large manufacturing estab.
iishments below, has led to the re-exami
nation OF the original discovery coal
mine Of the county, and to location OF
claims thereon. Christian Hick, native
of Pottsville, Pa, and man pow IS
years Old, having heard of the great value
set upon the Peck & Kincaid mine, and
having examined specimens of the coal
taken therefrom, said he knew the point
where the first coal was discovered in
Shasta county, and went and found the
place, and he and his friends have located
Claims and applied to the Government for
title to I,920 acres of land covering the
main coal belt as far ms discovered, but
its full extension is not known. A num-
Der Of workmen are now engaged in
opening the ledge, which now shows
face OF Ignite coal, Of fine quality, six feet
in thickness"
