goods dealer of Gold Hill. is again
out with most liberal announce
ment. Until further orders, he will
return 81 30 in coin on every $40

content with small profit and has
reduced all his expenses to the low

THEE VALUABLE CLAIMS.

The Summers, the Quinn, and the
AvOca, to be Worked on an Ex-
tensive Scale at an Early Day.
There are three mining claims in
Spring Valley which are very likely
to soon attract the notice of the in
vesting public. They are the Sum-
mers, the Quinn, and the Avoca.
Located by Pat Quinn prior to 1869,
they have since been worked at odd
times, according to the necessities OF
the owner, who has resided on
the ground with his family, since
their location. A few months ago
the claims were incorporated, but
the dullness of the times caused the
companies to defer the execution of
their intention to work them on an
extensive scale until the present
time. The outlook has much inn
proved Of late, however, and work
will soon be resumed. The three
claims are located on what is termed
the front ledge, and about q mile
south of the Kossuth works. The
Summers IS the first in order from
this city, the Quinn is next, and the
Avoca last. On each Of the claims
is shaft nearly 100 feet in depth,
and OH the surface there is an open
trench or cut which was run on the
foot or west wall. From the bot
tom of the middle QUINN shaft an
incline was started toward the east
wall, but work was discontinued be-
fore that objective point was reached.
There is four-foot width of good
ore, which assays $3.50 or 5000 ton,
close to the west wall, and similar
width Of about the same grade ore
near the east wall. Between the
two the formation is quartz and ore
stringers. The west wall pitches to
the west, and the east wall, where
exposed near the surface, seems to
pitch to the east at an angle of about
As degrees-thus leaving room for
ledge of some width. Mr.. Quinn
is extracting q couple OF carloads OF
ore for shipment to San Francisco,
where it will be worked for $40 per
ton, yield of 80 per cent of the as
say being guaranteed.

His Opinion Of the California Con.

Railroad Monopoly to Oppose

Polls.
VIRGINIA, Jan. 6, 1870.
DEAR TINES: 1 have a sweet
morsel for your readers to-day. Last
Saturday, as l was sailing along G
street, the massive craft s. T. Gage
swung in sight. Bearing down up.
on it I fastened my graphing irons,
and proceeded to bore him in regu-
lar reportorial style, with the fol-
lowing result:
REP.-How comes it that you can
afford to visit Nevada while the Cal
ifornia Constitutional Convention is
10 session.
STEvE.-Oh, the company has
paid very little attention to the con-
vention. have paid so little at.
tention to it, l scarcely know what
they have done. They are constant
ly quarreling among themselves.
Now, they are quarreling about tax
alton.
REP.-Yes, there seems to be q
little difference of opinion between
the members from the city and the
grangers, about the taxation of grow
ing crops.
STEVE. Yes; and, also, about
the taxation of mortgages, etc. By
what they have already done they
have overthrown our form of gov.
eminent. There will be no need OF
future Legislatures, as they have
done away with all use for them,
They have upset our system of grand
and petty iuries, and there is nc
telling where they will stop or when
their work will be completed. In d
few days the bundred-day limit fixed
by law will expire, and the appro'
priation for their pay will run out
There is no telling what they will
do then.
REP.-Wcll, l see that the brokers
intend to purchase their scrip at q
very slight discount. thus enabling
them to continue their session in
definitely
STEvE.-That remains to be seen
The fact is, that the Constitution oil
California is good enough. 1t has
cost good deal of money and nearly
a quarter Of century to make i
what it is and obtain the decision.
We have under it. Any radica
change required can easily be OBJ
tanned by amending it in the usua
way. By pasaing it through tive
Legislatures and submitting it to {
vote of the people-REP. And i
the people should repudiato tn,
work of the Convention, it is very
doubtful if the next Legislature
would pass bill making an appro
priation for the deficiency. SO
think that when the time comes tn,
brokers will fight shy of the war
rants.
REP.-Then I suppose it is thu
intention Of the c. p. r. r. Co. t.
fight the new Constitution at tn,
polls9
AZ this question brought no re
spouse but change of subject, it i
safe to prophesy that the labors o
the California Constitutional Conven
ton will be wasted, for the peopl,
of California are as completely unde
the control of the c. P. r. r. Co. a
we are to its unjust discrimination
in freiphts aud fares. NUMsKULL,

Last week in Chihuahua, a woman

said to the women: "You have :
very pretty foot" Do you think 20
said she. He replied: "Yes; that Is
the prettiest foot in Mexico.n The
woman was to come back next day
and leave 81, when the shoes were to
be commenced. The shoeinakers
wife, hearing all, said nothing. The
next day the shoemaker was out whet,
the woman with the pretty foot called,
according to agreement, and the wife
got her into the back room and stab
bed her to death. The wife then cut
a steak out of the dead woman's leg
and packed the body under the bed.
The shoemaker came home and ate
his dinner. The wife asked him how
he liked the meat. He answered that
.it was the best he had ever eaten.n
The wife then told him lie had eaten
a part Of "the prettiest leg in Mexico
He asked her what she meant. She
showed him the body under the bed,
and made dash at him with o knife,
bat he escaped and rain to the Palacio
and told the Judge what had happened.
The judge summoned u guard Of SOL
diers aud went to the house. He
asked the wife If she had committed
the murder, and when she attempted
to justify the act he ordered her to be
shot on the spot by the soldiers, and
his orders were promptly obeyed.

NEGRO MURDERER HANGED.

RALEIGH, n. G., June 25.--Robert
Jones, (negIU) who murdered Rudolph
Eaton (white) in the village Of Rocky
Mountain on December Is, 1877, was
publicly hanged at Tarboro to-day.
Jones was twice convicted on strong
circumstantial evidence. An effort
was made to have Gov. Jarvis COM
mute his imprisonment for life, but
he declined to interfere beyond once
granting a respite to allow a thorough
examination Of the case. At 1850, q.
m., the sheriff left the jail with the
prisoner in q wagon, the Edgecomb
Guards, accompanying with q negro
fire company in red shirts. Jones
talked, laughed and poked fun at the
sheriff; dwelt long on his religious
experience, and said he was going
straight to heaven. He was the cool
est man ever seen on the gallows
there. He drank wine in re,nem-
brance Of his brethren in Christ and
shook hands all around. The moose
and cap were put on at 1881 the
drop sprung and death ensued from
strangulation in 26 minutes. He
seemed to suffer greatly.

Yes, dear Times; but you wilfully
ignore the way in which it was done.
There is only slight difference be-
tween our half-column article and
your four-column convict story con-
cerning the management of the pen

published to point moral, and yours
