Rich DiggiEgS.

A man named Ericsson, who owns the claim
on the Deadwood Channel known as the
Bowers Claim" has recently struck very
rich pay in a back bench or channel which
was unknown until a few weeks ago. He
was walking along the back rim of the front
channel, and found a small crevice filed with
gravel which he followed up the pitch of
the bedrock for about thirty feet, when he
opened up a back channel which is proving
both rich and extensive. Two or three dol
lars to the pan is nothing unusual, and the
gold is coarse, black and rusty .-Plumas

The new Steamer ''Yaqu;na" crossed in
at hours food on Friday last, finding II
feet of water on the bar. She steamed
straight up to the Railroad works, and
landed her freight, thence went on to the
Oneatta Saw Mills, a1fd then returned to
Newport to leave the remainder of the 300
tons constituting her cargo. She only re-
manned two days at Yaquina, a reasonably
quick dispatch-It appears to Us little
strange that if the ship could come in on
Friday on two hours food or IA feet, she
should have not managed to get within s
miles of the place on the Monday week
previous, when there at high tide 20
feet or perfectly smooth bar.

The Masquerade.

The masquerade given by the Hook and
Ladder Company last Monday evening was
a grand success socially speaking, but it was
not as we'll patronized as the grand prepar-
ations by the boys deserved. The hall was
beautifully decorated and the music was
superb. In fact no pains or money were
spared to make it the grandest event of the
season. About fifty characters were repre-
sented, presenting a great variety of all
shades from sublime to ludicrous, and so
perfect were their makeup that with one or
two exceptions none were recognized by
| their most intimate friends. Stylish cooks
interviewed by Brother Jonathan, noblemen
dancing with orphans, and the gorgeous
darkey counting Good Luck, all seemed
quite romantic but when Simple Simon
schottisched with the Sailor Girl and the
Chinaman waltzed away with Nun, the
times seemed sadly out of joint. The masks

MARRIED.

At the residence of Wallace Baldwin,
Saturday morning, Jan. 18th, by Rev. j. r.
n Bell, Miss ada Baldwin, to Mr.. Samuel
Center of Cal.
Owing to the illness of Mrs. w. Baldwin,
the services were informal, and private,
Mrs Sadie Huffman being the only guest
aside from the family. After an early
breakfast the bridal couple bid their friends
farewell, and departed on the train for their
future home at the Great Western mines
near Calistoga California, where the groom
has new house all equipped and furnished
to receive them.
Corv Ills has been Miss Baldwin's home
since childhood. Being of a quiet turn Of
mind she never took a prominent part in
social circles, but was universally esteemed
by:ail who knew her, and will be most missed
by those who knew her best. She first
met the partner of her choice something
over year ago while temporarily residing
in Sam Francisco and the passing acquain-
tence soon ripened into love which was
mutually reciprocated. Mr.. Center was a
stranger here even to her family before his
coming: but by the few who met him during
his few days sojourn among US, he is held
in high esteem. He comes of old New
Hampshire stock and partakes of the ster
ling qualities of his native state. We pre-
dict for them happy and prosperous
future.

Nicodemus colony in Kansas is prosper ous place, although the residents thereof get along without gold, silver or greenbacks It contains 365 homes, and is located in Graham county, the district being known as Sole mons valley. Two churches are there, one public school, one subscription schools a post office and several stores. The people raise corn, pumpkins and vegetables, and meet every Saturday night and exchange commod- ities They give vegetables andOther pro- ductions for drugs, clothing and so on, and actually live without money. For three years after the colony was started there was not a team in it, and the men worked entirely with picks and spades. The colonists were of the worst class of negroes from Kentucky. Many of them went in order to live easily of the community. Now they said to be trans formed into hard working farmers. Nico- demus has a regular township government, the principal officer being township trustee, who is negro.
