Last Tuesday the daily in this city came
ont under the name of the Register, and from
this We judge that the Taa-0bservsr is de-
fanet. We also noticed that Van cleve's
name stands alone now at the gable end of
thePaPer. Isthis "token Of a sign!" Has
our guileless friend Cartwright been kicked
ont OF the concern without benefit of either
judge or jury? Verify, We think there will
be a row when the old MAJ returns. Islooks
hard to kick man out of his business when
he is not at home to defend himself, but then
it may be better the way IL Is. Dissolution

been engaged in quartz mining for several
years De was the owner Of what he con-
sidored good lead. bat he had been broken
up by trying to work it alone After talking
upon the subject, showing the specimens Of
quartz, etc., he has succeeded in interesting
several parties in it to such an extent as to
get them TO go in partnership with him IN
working the mine. Mr. Post retains one
fourth interest in the mine, aud binds him-
self to deed the remainder to VIM Van Vac

Of Monteith, who viii be represented by w.

two or three weeks. and after their arrival at
the mine, willimmediately commence putting
up the necessary machinery A l5.horse

it, and he reports that a shaft has been sunk
45 fest deep and that at that depth the lead
is 3 feet aud inches vide Quartz taken
out at that depth and assayed by Prof. Fisk,
at Portland, gives an average Of about $40 to
the ton. This IS a good yield, and ii it holds

According to announcement the brick build.
ing belonging to Sam Miller, on the corner of
Second and Ferry streets, was sold at public
auction last Saturday. Times are very dull
here now, and the consequence was that the
building only brought $3.50. On account
of the lack of interest manifested, the sale
of the remainder of the property was indef-
initely postponed.

Saturday was sham, and that Mr. Dannals

defending It lasted through the entire
afternoon and went to the jury about 5
o'clock. Averliet Of not guilty was returned
in about ten minutss aud the defendant was
discharged After supper the case of Rd
Cox was taken up. new jury empanneled,
the same lawyers appearing as in the other
case. This case did not last long, and the
defendant was acquitted The testimony in
the cases of Clark aud Smith being practical
ly the same, Capt Humphrey moved that
they be discharged Judge Baldwin sus-
tanned the motion, and the defendants were
discharged, thus saving quite sum to the
city. It seems to be perfectly clear that the
