The Narrow Gauge No. 2 mine, in
Narrow Gauge gulch, has recently
been purchased by Chicago capital
lists, who have requested Milton +.

The Narrow Gauge No. 9 is one of
the Narrow Gauge group, which in
cludes the Narrow Gauge Nos. ! and
Z and the Bannack mines, and which
is situated in Narrow Gauge u'ch,
just over the divide from Bullion.
The group was sold, year ago last
summer, to J. V. Farwell, of Chicago,
for 5000, and is still with the ex-
ception of the Narrow Gauge No. y
owned by that gentleman, who has
already recovered the full amount
which he paid for it. Mr.. Clarke, the
first superintendent, was interested in
the sale, and on partition of the
property he was given the Narrow

this mine that has changed hands

DIGGING FOR BURIED TREASURES A
Starrsvlle, Ca, telegram says: In June OF
this year negro came from Alabama
Montgomery, he says--to a neighbOrhood
about nine miles south of Covington He
worked short time as day laborer on the
plantation of John Dukes He soon made
known to the negroes on the place and in
the peighborhood that he had been directed
to this place by Il spirit to find seventeen
and half bushels of gold that had been
buried by band of robbers about seventy
five years ago. He said the place was on a
branch road about 100 yards below the
Covington and Monticello road, and about
ten miles from CoviDgton. He promised
the owner of the land one-fourth ofethe
gold. To negroes who would assist him he
would give a liberal share. After much
praying, many incantations and much GER
emory he selected the precise spot for the
digging. He sat near by with an open BIZ
BILE, beneath which several horse-shoes were
placed and white rock laid on the open pa
ges He neither spoke nor allowed any one Of
the laborers tospeak within certain distance
of the excavation. The men are working
night and day with great earnestness. The
excavation is about fifteen feet square and
about twenty feet deep. The dirt is lifted
d
ed to chew tobacco or stop work during the
time allotted to the work, lest it may cause
the bad spirit to overpower the good spirit
under whose guidance they are working
This bad spirit has it in his power to move
the gold if at any time be gains asrendency
Of the good spirit. The man has mat
uated 80 many negroes that there are many
standing ready to fill the places of those
who are tired. The excavation Is ABOUT SIX
feet through washiugs from the field then
soft rock is struck, which continues "a, as oeeP
as the excavation has been made. Inc di7-
inteprated rock has no appearance of ever
been disturbed The faith in the
voodoo doctor seems to blind them to the
fact that had any gold ever been buried
there this rock would show signs of d'stIr r
nance The owner of the land forbade Their
working longer, but they entreated him 20
that he consented to let them go
deeper. They are willing to go eighty ie't
deep if the doctor says so.

Both factions of the republican party o.
Petersburg held mass meetings last night

federal officials, and the principal speech
was made by Gen. Stith Boiling, postmas,

meeting were denounced as a disgrace To
any civilized community, and the response

party. As a precaution against their rep

stage and the doors OF The building.
The antiBrady wing held their meeting
in the open air at Centre market with a
large crowd present. The action Of Mon
Gay nights meeting was enthusiastically in
dorsed. The speakers were Senator Gaines
and A. +. Dodson, colored, both aspirants
for Congress, and their excavations of ma

that they would would not vote for Brady
under any circumstances. Gen. Malone
and Col. Brady were on the edge Of the
crowd. A telegram from Gov. Cameron
was read, expressing his regret at being I'M
able to attend and giving his hearty SYM
pathy and adhesion to the movement to de

IT APPEARS by the report OF the commit.

broken Planters and Mechanics bank OF
Petersburg that Governor Cameron placed
as high value upon his notes rs he did
upon General Mshone's toe-nails, but that

articles is no more than that of the other.
