put tea leaves and water into G cup, and
then to set the cup out of doors in the

The Calaveras Chronicle says: We
saw q nugget Of native gold this week
that weighed one and ihree-fourths
pounds. We are not authorized to state
exactly where the chisps was found, but
it will do no harm to say that it was taken
from tunnel claim not thousand miles
from Moselumpe Hill And the claim
where the nugget was found-that is not
the only one discovered by any means
laid idle for years, abandoned. The eD-
ployment OF a little more muscle and less
gas wonId qu+stionsbly lead to the
development of the fact that more of the
abandoned ground in this vicinity would
pay we'll for working.

A SCENE IN CoURT-When the first
case was called in the District Court yes

between Judge Cole and Crit. Thornton,
IN which question arose as to whether
Thornton had heard Judge Cole give aver

proceeding for one day. A heated COD
versation was kept up for some little
time between the Judge and Mr.. Thorn
ton, which resulted in the latter being
fined and imprisoned for contempt OF
Conrt, and as will be seen from the fol-
lowing, which We copy from the District
Court records:
In the matter of the contempt of Grit
tenden Thornton-The above named G.
Thornton, in the immediate view and
presence Of the Court, having been
guilty Of contemptuous and insolent
behavior toward the Judge of said Court,
to witt The said Thornton, while arpu
ing motion in the case of Galen ys.

OF making false statement, and on
being ordered BY the Judge to take his
seat, the said Thornton, in contempt.
uous and insolent manner refused to
obey such order, and used other insol-
ent language to said Judge. 1t is there
lore ordered that G. Thornton be ad-
judged guilty of contempt, and that be
be punished by imprisonment in the
County Jail for the term OF twelve hours,
and that he pay fine, in addition, in
the sum OF fifty dollars.-[ Eureka Sem
