COARSE GOLD.

We have by telegraph some exciting
details, relative to the discovery of gold
In the Black Hills. The account says
the precious metal is coarse, scaly and
abundant. About 100 miners are at
work in Custar's Gulch, near Harney's
Peak, and they are represented as
making from $5 to $25 per day to the
man. Ounce diggings used to be con-
sidered pretty good even in the flush
times of California, and if the late re-
ports from the Black Hills should
prove true, q rush to the new mines
such as has never been witnessed in
this country may be expected. We
would suggest, however, that it might
be we'll for our miners to keep cool
until further and reliable evidence is
adduced Of the correctness OF the
glowing accounts SO freely sent out.
Whether true or false, the story as
flashed over the wires reads smooth,
and it will be found not less exciting
than interesting. 1t is almost enough
to set . forty-niner crazy.

STEALINGS.

On last Saturday evening a little girl
four years old, named Margaret Quinu,
whose parents live on X street, Vir-
ginia City, was so shockingly burned
that she only lived a few hours. Some
boys had lighted a pile of loose hay in
the street, and the little girl, who had
put on a long skirt and was promenad-
ing about in play, came in contact with
the fire. The skirt ignited and in a
moment the child was enve Hoped in
flames. She ran down the street
screaming in her agony, and attracted
the attention of the neighbors, who put
out the fire, but not until her body
was frightfully barned. DR.. Conn was
Summoned and did everything to
relieve her sufferings. He found her
body badly burned. although her face
was uninjured. After about three
hours of suffering death came to the
little ones relief. Her fathers name is
John Quinn. He is an amalgamator
in the HooSier State Mill.
Henry Dietz, an old time Piocher,
who left about sixteen months ago for
the Stiken country, is back again, hav-
ing arrived, accompanied by his wife,
on Saturday. MI. Dietz has done some
considerable travelling since he left. He
went up into British Columbia, but,
not receiving encouraging intelligence
from Stiken, anne back to Portland,
Oregon. From there he went into

from there to Los Angeles. Finally
he bent his steps toward Phoebe, which
he says is the best place he has seen in
all his travels.

And 10 it was. But before the ink was
fairly dry on the paper containing the

THE CALIFORNIA INDEPENDENT
CONVENTION.

In our Geographic columns will be
found a pretty full report of the pro-
ceedings of the Independent State Con-
vention, held at Sacramento. Follow
ing is the ticket nominated: For Gov
ernor, John Bidwell, Of Butte; Lieu
tenant Governor, Romualdo Pacheco,
of Santa Barbara; Secretary of State,
w. Roush, of Placer; Controller, l..
E. Crane, of Sierra; Treasurer, Fred.
BaeEer, of Shasta; Attorney General,
Peter Van Clief, of Yuba; Surveyor
General, Z. Twichell, of Sacramento;
Clerk of the Supreme Court, Paul
Morrill,, also of Sacramento; Superin-
tendent of Public Instruction, j. w.
Gwinn, of Los Angeles. No mention
is made of Congressional nominations,
which have probably been deferred
for a time. The ticket as q whole pre-
sents some elements of strength, but
we seriously doubt whether rs per-
sonnet is much of an improvement on
that put forward by the Republicans
last week. Bidwell and Pacheco, as
the standard bearers, may be accepted!
as a strong team, yet neither is entitled
to so great a share of popularity as the
press have claimed for them. Bidwell
is out of place as the leader OF the
new party. He is essentially a mo-
nopolist and a conceited a~ristocrat as
well. Owning large grants of land, he
has for years employed none but Mon
golians and Indians in tilling it. He
is also far below a respectable av-
erage in point of intelligence.
How such a man as John Bidwell,
with his leagues of land and coolie Ia
borers, should have been set up as the
representative of the great anti-monop-
oily party must surpass all understand
ing. The nomination of Pacheco is not
less remarkable. We all remember
how the Sacramento Union used to
urge, as a reason for Governor Booths
hardness in resigning the office OF
Governor after his election to the
Senate, that Pacheco belonged, soul
and body, to the Central Pacific Rail
road Company, and that the reins of
government could not safely be intrust-
ed in his hands; and yet he is ad-
vanced to the head and front of the re-
form movement. Verify, do wonders
never cease. Both of these men, 100,
will run well, and both may possibly
be elected. Indeed, we consider the
chances for the success OF the
whole ticket more than encourag-
ing. The newspapers have erected
for them a fictitious popularity,
and it may be that they will
ride into power before the second So
Der thought possesses the minds
of the people of the Golden
State. We know but little Of the
rest Of the ticket. Paul Morrill,, for
Clerk of the Supreme Court, was one
of the proprietors of the late Sacra-
mento Union, and Peter Van Clief, for
Attorney General, is a lawyer without
clients. The others may be strong,
but they have never been prominent.
The platform of the retormers is an
almost verbatim copy of the Repub-
lican platform; so nearly are they
alike that it would puzzle any ordinary
mortal to distinguish between them
Politics and political parties are very
much mixed in California.
