The Calico Mines.

J. NJ. Pascoe writes from Calico
District, Cal, to James Tickle, OF Eu-
reka, that miners wages are S3 so.
Those who can lease mines are making
money. He leased mine and had
three men to work with him. They
shipped twenty tons OF ore to San
Francisco, and got net return of
S2,717. They are about to ship thirty
tons more, total of fifty tons, taken
out in two months. Business in the
camp is poor. Plenty of saloons, but
they all complain. A now camp has
been struck by some prospectors from
Calico, about 100 miles off In Inyo
county. The camp is in Death Valley,
on the edge OF the Panamint range OF
mountains, and about forty miles
from Panamint. Miners are already
leaving Calico for that place, from
which ore brought in assays $3.50 In
silver, and carries seventeen per cent.
lead. other specimens brought in
assay $3.50, $3.50, and run down as low
as $l7 per ton.

Dakota shows a thriftiness about
the location of her new capital, which
speaks volumes for the business sa-
gacity of her Legislature. She has
literally put the capital up at auction
and will knock it down to the highest
bidder. Yankton, the oldest capital,
is in the extreme southeast corner OF
the Territory and it is stipulated that
the new one must be more central.
There is no capital building at Yank-
town, the Legislature meeting in the
Federal Court House. BY the Act OF
the Legislature asking for bids for the
location OF the capital, nine Commits
sioners are appointed to receive prop
ositions and decide which one shall
be accepted. II has been announced
by the Commissioners that no offers
Will be considered which do not in
clude grant of ten acres of land and
at least 100000. Excitement is run
ming high and every collection OF
shanties oh the plains is making ex-
travagant promises of what it will do
il it is conceded the cherished boon.
Canton, Sioux Falls, Huron, Plank
ington and Pierra are all candidates,
and many others. Some offer $780,
600 and as much land as is wanted,
but Huron and Plankington have so
far outbid the rest. These TOWNS are
backed by powerful railroads-Huron
by the Chicago and Northwestern,
and Plankington by the Milwaukee
road. With the assistance of its rail-
road, each of these places offers to
erect capital buildings to cost half
million. Unless the nine Commits
sioners are very virtuous men they
will have 10 struggle with tho tempt
alton of direct bribes, or at least, op-
portnnites for profitable land specula-
ton, and it would be quite singular if,
after the location has been decided,
the Commissioners should not quietly
provide themselves with a few lots
before the decision has been an
nounced and real estate has risen.
But the most obvious fact about it is
that Dakota will get new capital very
cheap. So says the San Francisco
Alta.

Rainbow quartz mine, Chips Flat,
in 1881. 1t was taken from a depth
of 200 feet. The specimen was on ex-
hibition at the Office Of IL. IL. Noble,
In San Francisco. Later it was ship
ped to London and worked there. 1t

Rainbow mine during the past three
years has been 100000.

Is not calculated in its weight.

get was found which weighed 40
ounces, and was valued at $, 900

tanned 263 ounces OF gold, worth ST.
sg3.

were taken from the Live Yankee
claim at Forest City.
From 1886 to 1852, number of
gold nuggets, varying from 30 to 100
ounces, were found in the Oregon
claim at Forest City.
A specimen worth $1,000 was taken
from the Oriental Gold Gate quartz
mine. The total yield Of the Golden
Gate mine Is estimated at 500, 900.
The mine has been worked to depth

river above Downieville at the mouth
of Sailor Ravine. 1t was huge one,
and weighed fifty-two pounds or fifty
two tons, we forget which.

"Business" Beers In Trouble.

1t has been some time since we have
been called upon to record any act of law
lessness on the part of this notorious char
actcr more likely because he has not been
detected than that he has committed no
offense. Business" is not unacquainted
with the interior of the Eastern peniten-
tiary, and it is quite probable that he may
now have an opportunity of renewing
some old acquaintances there in the near
future. He is an old offender and has
been before the court on numerous occa-
sions. His latest exploit is the theft of a
pocketbook on Friday afternoon last, at
the music store of j. SaltZer. A lady GUS
toner laid it down on piano, Beers being
there at the time negotiating for banjo,
and while Mrs Saltzer stepped out for a
moment Beers walked out with the banjo.
Mrs. Saltzer followed him and recovered
the instrument and then the lady missed
her pocket book. She followed Beers aud
accused him of taking it, which he denied
and with an air of injured innocence
offered her the privilege of searching him.
This offer she declined, but had him ar
rested and taken before j. NJ. Clark, Esq,
to whom Beers also protested his inno-
cence, and said they could search him.
The Justice at once directed the constable
to make the search, and the very first
pocket examined contained the ladys
purse. Beers was held in $500 bail. AS
no bail was furnished Business" now
languishcs in a prison cell.

SATURDAYS RACE.

For this race three horses were entered,
viz: Dora, by Geo. Stem of Lehigh coun-
ty; Edward H., by Wm. Hughes of Ha-
zleton, and Felix by Mr.. King of William
sport. This was expected to be a fine
trot and great crowd assembled to wit
ness it, but the result was not satisfactory,
owing to an error of the judges in giving
the first heat to Felix when Dora was
clearly entitled to it. We make this asser.
ton for the following reasons Felix ran
more than he trotted he ran down the
home stretch and under the wire his
crowded Dora into the fence and buildings
along the track, out of sight of the
Judges, and is said TO have con-
sdered it a good joke that the heat was
given to him. The second heat was taken
by Edward H., and the third by Dora. On
the fourth King refused to trot, but let his
horse jog around the course. Edward Ii.
took this heat, Dora having injured her
self and broken down. The race was foI
best three in five heats, but as it was grow
ing late, and King having virtually with
drawn and Dora given out, after consul
tatlon between the judges and drivers the
race was declared over and the judges an
nounced that Edward H. took first money
and Dora second. We have no in
tention of criticsing the judges, ant
there is no suspicion of any inten
ton on their part to be unfair bu
in view of all the circumstances, and th
general public sentiment that Dora shoult
have had the first heat, and consequent,
the race, the judges evidently were wrong
in their judgment 1t is unfortunate tina
such things occur, as it will be difficult t
get good horses here in the future if the
are to be jockeyed off the track by tn
tricky drivers who cannot beat them an
other way. One reform that should b
strictly enforced by the Society is that n
person should be allowed inside the trac
at the grand stand. There is scarcely roor
there now for three to start, and when one
third the track Is occupied by the crowd
is impossible to make fair start,
1t is estimated that $4,000 people wei
on the grounds on Friday Saturdays q
tendance was larger than usual

Lillian Spencer, who played the ''Creole'
here recently, actually became insane
while performing her part at Atlanta, Ga,
last Saturday. AT the end of the third act,
in the mad scene, when Duhamel threat
ems to put her in the madhouse Miss
Spencer was evidently worked up to the
full tervor of the scene George" she
said while the audience was deeply in
teiested, 'you have disfgured my face,
you have blghted my life, you have ruined
mel" Here she grasped him frantically.
"You have Knocked at my sufrerings. BY
right of suffering you belong to me, for
you have made me what | am."
Miss Spencer stood trembling with
emotion, while the audience sat SPELL
bound. Then she reeled and fell behind
the third entrance, and as she fell she was
caught in the arms of Frank Irving, the
stage manager, who tried to soothe her.
She threw him violently aside, exclaimng,
"He has ruined me! he has made me
what am !"
Between the play and the reality the
audience was at a loss to judge; but from
the manner in which she fought on the
stage and defed strong men to touch her,
they soon saw that she was suffering from
mental alteration. After time the ac.
tress was led away and taken to the hotel,
when physician was summoned to treat
her. She is of highly nervous organiza-
ton. Later dispatches say that her attack
was only temporary, and she is acting
again.
