SAN FRANCISCO.
Miners Troubles.

san Francisco, December 29.-The
CdR tomorrow will publish u statement
emanating from party well informed
on the ubject, to the effect that on jan
uary last, the township in which the
town and some OF heprincipal mines OF
Bodie are located, was surveyed under
authority OF the Federal Govern
ment, when it was discovered that
they were situated in section six
teen. By an act of Congress OF March
,, 1858, the sixteenth and thirty
sixth sections in each township
were granted tn the State, Under the
laws OF California the occupants OF such
sections are held to be verified pur-
chasers ior six months after the iiling OF
the plat of survey. The parties in pos
session at Bodie having failed to avail
themselves OF the operation Of the law,
other parties have filed applica-
ton for purchase upder the
State title. The mines included
in this tract are Bodie, South Bodie,
South Standard, Champion, South Bul-
wcr and portion of Bullwer. A CAL
reporter interviewed United States Sur
vcyor General Wagner, this evening, on
the subject. lie expressed surprise at
learning the statement. and stated that
by the law of 1853 mineral occupants
could prove up and patent their claims
under Federal law. lie said, however,
that the determination oi the question
would probably cost enough 10 ruin
both the claimants and contestants.

A GRAFTON TRAGEDY.
Murder In Mid-day-The Victim
a.'Grace" Widow, who was
Found with q Bullet Hole In
Her Head-The Supposed Muir
derer in Custody.


Correspondence OF the Register.
GRAFTON, December ~.
Thursday morning about ii o'clock, a
Mrs. Groes, living apart from her
husband, in the lower part of town, was
found in sitting position on a chair in
her house, with bullet hole in her
head above the right eye, bleeding pro-
iusely and just expiring. Medical aid
was promptly summoned, but to n"
avail. Every effort was employed to
discover the supposed murderer. Upon
evidence taken by Attorney McCormick
for the State, the crime was charged upon
one Ben jamin Nuzun, Oi Fettcrman.
He was duly apprehended. In the
examination al the room a pair ol boots
were found where the murder was com
mitted, and which fit him exactly.
NuZum's s toes are all raised at the first
joint, making Il peculiar bend IN the
boots, and by this means 1t was lound
that they undoubtedly belonged to him.
1t is alleged that Nuzum has been
keeping company withthe Groes woman
for over Il year. Her husband testified
that il was on account of this familiarity
that he left her; that he tNuzum) was
with her every night and that frequent
ly she staid out all night with him. The
jury's verdict, rendered this evening,
was as follows: "Emelinc Groes came
to her death al the hands ol Benjamin
Nuzum."
The prisoner is said to have become
somewhat dissipated, Of late, though he
is respectfully connected i'll this coun-
". The greatest excitement has pre-
vailed, and every imaginable opinion Is
freely expressed, though the popular
opinion is that the jury's verdict Is
Just one.
