 One of the most remarkable races that ever inhabited the earth is now extinct. They were known as the Gaunches, and were the aborigines of the Canary Is- lands. In the sixteenth century, pesti- fence, slavery. and the cruelty of the Spaniards succeeded in totally exterrni- hating them. They are described as having been gigantic in stature, but of singularly mild and gentle nature. Their food consisted of barley, wheat, and goats milk, and their agriculture was of the rudest kind. They had a religion which taught them of future state of rewards and punishlnents after death, and of good and evil spirits. They re- garded the Volcano of Teneriffe as place of punishment for the bad. The bodies of their dead were carefully em- balmed, and deposited in catacombs. Their marriage rights were very solemn, and before engaging in them the brides were fattened on milk. @

Work REsUMED.-The old Sacra-
mento claim in the early days yield
Ell some excellent ore, which bore
mostly gold. In 1860 most OF this
ore was taken out and milled, yield
ing handsome profit upon the labor
expended and the capital invested
Afterward the claim was abandoned
or forfeited, and subsequently it was
relocated under the name OF the
Southern Star. These remarks are
made preliminary to saying that the
mine is to be worked again vigor-
ously. Preparations to that end have
already been made. Thus for every
claim abandoned in this District or
overcome py insurmountable indebt-
educss another is refrigerated, and
the group as q whole, counting all
that have recently been shut down
and taking due cognizsnce of ali that
have been started up, is as prosperous
as could justly be expected under the
surrounding unfavorsble circum-
stances.

JUSTICE DIsBURsENENTs--The JUS
tlce Company completed the liqui la
ton OF the claims against it for labor
for the past fiscal month yesterday.
The amount disbursed, as told to US
by gentleman in q superior place
in the company's service, will ap-
proximate fifty thousand dollars. The
force of men now in the mine is
about four hundred. Thus it will be
seen that the Justice, in point of ex-
penditures and product of ore, as
veil rs number of men employed,
ranks next to the California or Con.
Virginia. Gold Hill and Silver
would at this time experience dis
couraging lethargv in business affairs
were it not for this source of revenue.
Just as We are going to press we
learn that James Askew shot himself

the shooting was accidental we have

TIE SILVER CITY.-rhis mine
has lately been put in course OF
active operation and progressive
development. under the supervis-
ing attention Of Harry Brown. In
years past this mine yielded good
profit on the working OF it. and
there is now as q proof Of the ex-
tent to which it was prospected q
series Of tunnels penetrating in all
directions under the town, some oil
them extending from close to the
mouth of the main opening to u
point under the school house. The
engine which had been used to
hoist from an incline aud pump The
seepage water from the same was
some time ago removed to the G..
4 G. shaft IS Az auxiliary to the
machinery. That engine to-
gsther with all its appurteuances
aud . vast lot Of 3 inca pump
column, is nov in process Of reno
walton aud being fitted for duty at
the mouth OF the incline, about a
HUNDRED feet from the mouth Of the
tunnel, fairly underground, where
the boiler, etc, will I've stationed.
The smoke stack will go up through
an old s,ope reaching to the sur
face, aud will come into daylight
on the sidehill cas-: Of the Pioneer
mill. Tho machinery and all will
be in readiness for continuous work
in Q week or 90.

1t affords Us pleasure to state that
the affairs Of the Amazon and Glas-
gov Company 1--WE propose for con-
venicnce to speak of the two COM
panies at ali times as unit, as they
ale operated as such) are in a fai.
way to be settled satisfactorily to ali
the parties concerned and to such ad-
vantage to the mine as that its de.
velopmcnt will not greatly he him
dered. We stated the condition of
the company in the last issue with
respect to present embarrassment.
Since then the miners whose wages
remained unpaid prepared lien and
had it ready for the formal filing at
any moment. Subsequently tele-
graphic communication was estab-
lished and with officers of the COM
pany ia San Francisco, when an in.
terchange of proposals seems to have
ensued. The result was that the
Trustees will meet to-day, after which
sufhcient money will he forwarded
to pay the miners twenty per cent. of
what is coming to them, satisfying
them for the time being, while those
who have attachments will be given
notes, duly authorized, payable in
thirty to sixty days. Ere such notes
would fall due the assessment now
levied would be collected, and its
sum would be quite ample to meet
all demands. Meanwhile work on
the mine would 60 on, the men would
lie given employment, and all would
be benefited. We state this as the
probable thing to be done to-day at
the meeting Of the Trustees, yet some
other course may be adopted. We
CLEANED the facts incorporated In the
foregoing from the parties directly
interested, and we state them thus
fully because many are interested in
one way or another as to the pro-
gress Of the settlement. In any case
those who have claims may rest
pretty we'll assured that the property
is worth all they hold against it. The
parties who laid the first attachment
informed us that they did so not
through any fear of losing their
money, but to teach mining managers
In San Francisco that they must not
delay too long the meeting Of obliga-
tons through the levying of assess
ments.

An CNFoRTUNTE FAMILY.-A very
serious affection has befallen the
family of Thomas jolly, a miner en-
ployed until recently ut the Amazon
aud Glasgow,-an affection, in fact,
that could not be surpassed in point
OF narrowing seriousness. Recently
his wife was taken down with that
treacherous disease pneumonia, aud
On Monday night she died. Six small
children were by her death torn from
q mothers care, and one of them is
hut six weeks old. The father, too,
by reason of recent IeverscS, was
without means 10 max, such pro-
vision for their comfort AS the csrse
demanded, Bat exteraa, sympathy
was not wanting, and Mr.. John Ben
nets and 10 Wells, realizing the sit
uatioa, went abroad among acquaint-
ances of the family and Of their own
and succeeded in short canvass IN
collecting $40. The frequency with
which these calls have been made
upon our people of late and the
promptness and liberality with which
they have responded to them form a
striking earnest Of the lioerality If
spirit and large-hearted sympathy
which characterizes this community.
The facts of case calling for aid
have but to be made public, and an
adequate relief will follow. Mrs,
Jolly will be buried to-day. At wha,
hour has not trsnspired to US.

about the South End mine lately !;
much that We would rather the &C.
casion did not require the saying, but
never concealing therefor a single
sclntilla of fact, SO far rs obtainable.
Now We have to say that all debts
have been met by Colonel Robinson,
acting in behalf of the company, and
that work on the mine will be re-
snmed under auspices truly favora-
bic to-day. This will be welcome in
telligence to our people, who are in
terested more or less intimately or
remotely every one of them in the
progress of mining industry in this
district. The outlook now, counting
on the probability of the Amazon
and Glasgow resuming operations
speedily, and presuming that the
Daney people contemplate something
in the right direction by lsvyins an
assessment, as we'll as giving due
weight to the fattering prospects in
the Kossuth and Dayton-taking in
to account al! these thing. and some
more'minor in weight. and the out
look Of the district is brighter than
it has been for some months past.

District Court Proceedings.

The following business was done
in the Third District Court, Judge
seawsll presiding, at Dayton yes
terdsy:
W. J. Heniershot vs.. Mary Hem
dershot-sn action for divorce on
the ground Of adultery. John
Cronin appeared as counsel for the
plaintiff. and = decree duly untying
the knot was entered.
John Gross vs.. Patrick Wogan-
cause continued till the 28th in
slant.
Geo. j. Beal appeared to declare
his intention 10 become q citizen.
He had served in the U. $. Navy,
but. according to the Interpretation
here of the law passed by Congress
since the war comforting the rights
of citizenship upon all who had
performed army dnty, he was
obliged to 60 through the usual
form. In some States those who
served in the navy are included
within the provision of the lar in
question. 1t was evidently the in
tention Of Congress to make SOL
diers, sailors and marines to stand
on equal footing with respect to it.
Surely they ought to, having per.
formed equal service to the coun-
try.
