MINING NOTES.

The Median mine at Amador City has
begun work again.
Electric lights in the Mcconnell claim on
the Klamath afford abundant light.
The miners on McAdams creek, Slsklyou
county. are now busy taking out eonsldera-
BILE gold.
The outlook in Sierra county for pros
nerous mining era is of an excellent and
encouraging character.
Three thousand dollars was taken from
carload of gravel last week, taken out OF
the old Union mine, situated at GlbSonvlile,
Sierra county.
number of rich strikes are reported
north and south of the Big Butte, NJ. T.,
both by lessees and owners, and the custom
mills are all kept busy.
The Placerville Democrat says While
nIowing on his ranch at Greenwood town
Shin recently, Thatcher Lovejoy ran on to
quartz ledge which promises great things.
Though little work has as yet been done,
Mr. Loveiov has refused $4,000 tor the
property.
A body of copper ore was penetrated Tor
. distance of twenty feet in the Clear Grit
mine at Butte, NJ. T., the other day. The
ore is of good concentrating quality, but as
| the hanging wall has not yet been reached
the full extent and richness OF the strike
cannot be definitely stated.
At the Empire Bar claim, Honolulu DIS
| trict Klamath river, the miners continue
70 find good prospects, and also bones OF
mammoth animals of ancient times, SINH

claim further down. An immense mp
hone of Il mastodon was found last thurs
day. besides several other petriiied bones
The Maxwell (Colusa county, Star says
"Some time ago +. S. Ashley, who resides
in the foothills near Stone Corral, sent a
specimen of coal from vein which he d!s-
covered near his place to a brother III ONO
who had it tested and found 1t to be equal
in every respect to the best Pennsylvania
coal. Accompanied by another gentleman
Mr.. Ashley arrived on Mondays train and
proceeded to his brothers place, fully pre-
pared. we understand, to make thorough
search for the great deposit which, beyon'
doubt, underlies the foothills for Amos
the entire length of them. The indication
in the vicinity of LStone Corral are sad L
be in every way favorable to an easy an'
speedy development of this great Goa
5 field" The Colusa SIN remarks that IN
trouble with all the coal veins so far DIS
: covered in the Coast Range, north OF IN
Bay. is that they peter out too soon
p We hope, however, that this discovery ma ma
prove an exception to the rule, as II Woul
be of immense value to the county.

from the office of Registrar because he
obeyed him.
The Governor published a statement III
defense of Humphreys and Carpenter, de-
claring that they had done more even than
the public had right to expect, and then
called an extra session for the purpose OF
impeaching them, and used the entire m
fluence of the Executive Office TO secure
their removal without trial. Mr.. Johh,
son says that Governor Stoneman asked
him to have the conduct of Humphreys
and Carpenter investigated, and then at
tempted TO turn them out of office without
q hearing.
After all these things, even maternal par,
| tiality could not withstand its just and
righteous resentment In the goodness OF
! his heart Mr.. Johnson had forgiven much,
but AT last he declares With regard to
my removal he dealt with me falsely ana
deceptivelv." Truly charity sutfereth long
| and is kind, ! am lost in the admiration
of the supreme good-nature OF this man
Even in his wrath his heart seems softened
with sorrowful regard for the short-com-
ings of his late friend. There Is plenty OF
time to discuss these matters hereafter ne
saws. SO let them rest This Is eVluently
the natural expression of mlnd ana near
which prefers vastly TO love rather thah u
hate any man.
In my former communication presented
enough to show that eX-LIeutenaht-0oV
ernor Johnson had protected the honor o
Governor Stoneman by his silence. 1t i
now now more than apparent that, even afte
that silence has been broken, he Is Sul
