the quietness, and the soul stirring crack
of the Winchester will bring back the
bloom to the Modocker's cheek.
The owners of the American mine,
which is located within mile of San Juan,
have crew of men engaged in procuring
timbers for the construction Of a crib dam
to impound tailings, to be built in the
American ravine, near the Middle Yuba

the structure will cost large amount of

Many of the farmers in this section have
been specializing on the returns of their
wheat crop and the number of bushels
they anticipate to the acre. The best crop
thus far reported that is thrashed is that
of John NJ. Ball, near Dayton, who has
over 300 hundred acres in wheat, all har-
vested and weighed, and the return is 81
bushels to the acre. On the Pratt grant,
we are told, are some fine fields of grain,
and some spots ON the Reilly place have
yielded so bushels to the acre. We wait
to hear from tie Crowder ranch and some
others near Nord, where big returns are
anticipated. -[Chico Enterprise.
