THE DAY OF REPENTANCE.

Referring to the desired completion of
the California and Oregon Railroad the
San Francisco Aba says: Statistics of
lost Oregon trade have been offered to rs
by the merchants of this city, which pre-
sent a picture that is quite appalling. We
feel safe in saving that if this State were
getting now the trade from the Northern
country that we had before the completion
Of the Northern Pacific, there would be
but little talk about hard times and dull
business" 1t is worthy of remark, that
had these same merchants of San Francisco
who have so astonished the Alta, have
seconded the efforts of the merchants of
Northern California two years ago. the
road would now be operated to a
Junction with the Oregon system.
Both the merchants of San Francisco
and the press, with an exception or two,
we believe, either opposed the extension
Ct the land grant, or refused to ask for it,
while the commercial bodies of the metro
polls declined to add their influence to
that Of the people Of Northern California
10 secure the completion of the road The
citizens of this section rejoice that the day
of repentance has come, but cannot forget
the punishment they have taken because
OF the bullheadedneSs and blindness of
the metropolis. Now that all the people
are united in demanding the completion
of the road, let Us see what those in San
Francisco will do toward bringing about
that desirable result.

MINING NOTES.

The Bowlder mine at Ophir, in Placer
county, is getting ready to work the lead
thoroughly and Systematically.
Considerable prospecting is going on in
the vicinity of Shasta Some verv rich
quartz specimens have been brought into
Shasta.
A find of gold and silver ore near Ophir
Canyon, Nye county, New, is claimed to
exceed in richness anything yet found in
the State.
A promising vein of quartz has been
found near Columbia, Tuolumne county.
The prospects are of the best at the depth
of forty feet.
The Bank mine, in Fine Gold district
Fresno county, shows a well defined ledge
of twenty inches i'll width at a depth of
twenty feet.
The Klamath river companies are all
quite busy al present sinking new cuts to
bed rock, and feel hopeful of rich pay at
bottom Of channel.
Mining is at standstill for want of water
at Alta, Placer county This coming win
ter. however, 1t is expected there will be
considerable work done in that section.
Placer mining has been suspended at
Columbia, Tuolumne county, for the want
of water The last wash-up was had last
week. The fall rains will have to be waited
for.
The mining deadlock at Candelaria still
continues. The miners who were willing
to work for So per day are not permitted to.
and the mine-owners say they will pay no
more.
The Pound Cake mine in Bullvchoop
district, is one of the big things in quartz
in Northern California. The lode is from
seven to eight feet in width and works $50
to the ton.
Twenty men are now at work ON the
Slate Mountain mine at Georgetown. The
ore continues rich, and the fiye-stamns
are kept constantly engaged pounding out
handsome dividends for the lucky owners.
The Idaho mine at Georgetown, Ell Dora
| 90 county, has finally been placed in good
working order, and thirteen men are now
at work. Sinking on the ledge is going on.
and some very rich ore is being brought to
the surface.
From the appearance of the Bell Stowe
mine and the richness of the ore ii now
carries, Belleville Camp, situated on
Thompson river five miles from Woodlin
station, NJ T., bids fair to be as good as is
in the Territory.
A rich strike in iron has been made near
the Providence mine in Nevada county.
The ledge has been traced for distance of
mile and assays ofspecimens taken from
it at intervals give from 10 to 50 per cent. of
the valuable metal.
The Vermont mine in Deadwood Dis
trict, Trinity county, will soon commence
work with fifteen men. The ore is rich
with sulphurets. The mine has lately
changed hands, a gentleman from San Fran
cisco being the purchaser.
1t is reported that rich strike has been
made in Galena Gulch, Cataract district,
NJ. T. This gulch was discovered in 1858,
and has been worked ever since with good
results, and from $40 to SIS per day to the
man when ON the best streaks.
The Yreka Journal has been shown some
very good prospects realized from quartz
taken out of Empire ledge at Klamath
river. The men are busily engaged IN sink
, ing from the lower tunnel, to test it thor
oughiy in reference to permanency and
richness.

PROBABLY NOT TRUE.

II II is true, as reported-and we do not
believe it-that eminent attorneys from
all over the land are writing to Maxwell,
charged at st. Louis with the murder of
Preller, giving the prisoner advice, gratis
and uRinvitedly, how to defeat the law
and how to conduct his defense, it simply
proves that the lawyers are a set of asses.
That they~are not, goes without saying.
They are a body of learned men; repre-
sent one of the chief professions; are men
trained to deliberate thinking and slow
Judgment, and to keeping their own
counsel Among those who are self-respect-
ing a code of ethics obtains that enforces
the rules of gentility. insists upon the
severest restraints of honor, the loftiest
sentiments of justice, and the most rigid
rules Of decent behavior. To say that
eminent lawyers have volunteered advice
to Maxwell is 10 stigmatize the name
Of an honorable profession There would
be no reason for their doing as is reported.
There are no facts vet disclosed to show
that the man Maxwell is innocent, or en-
titled to particle of human sympathy, or
the commiseration and friendly offices of
eminent lawyers" All that is now
known points TO him as a brutal murderer.
There is nothing stated going-to show that
Preller is alive The probability is that
some few black sheep of the legal profes-
sion, pettifoggers and cranks, have written
to Maxwell as stated. But certainly no
men of the bar, who respect their profess
sion or themselves, have forced themselves
or their opinions upon the attention of the
prisoner

The second day of the State Fair was
everything that could be desired, so far as
weather is concerned, and the outlook for a
successful and profitable exhibition is good
indeed. The attendance at the Pavilion
last evening was double that of the even

each day promise excellent sport, and there
is every reason to expect large attendance
from the commencement to the close of the
racing programme.
The stock parades will be the best ever
witnessed in the State, and this is saying a
great deal, as there have been many fine
displays within the last ten years.
The opening address will be delivered on
Thursday evening at s O'Clock, by the
President of the Society, J. D. Carr Owing

will be delivered in the art gallery.

the exhibit of machinery is smaller than

This paper advanced the doctrine long be-

believe in obedience to law, and the Courts
have the right to declare what the law is.
We do not think that Courts are ALWAYS

not exist if the laws are not obeyed, and no
