CAPACITY OF a MINERS Boor.-A few
days ago a man went into a store in Gold
Hill to buy a pair of stogY boots. " Whatn
we take to fill EN- with whisky ?n he asked.
The storekeeper had never made such a
trade before, aud the novelty of the thing
struck him at once. Making a lightning
calculation as to how much whisky the
boots would hold, he replied, 1.-TWO doll
ars.n Fill 'em up" said the customer.
as he threw the money upon the counter
to make the bargain solid. The storeman,
with a grin, proceeded to fill the boots. but
Strengthened his face in blank astonish-
ment when he found the capacity of the
boots 10 be something over three gallons.
The purchaser departed in a tiekled man
ner with bis boot-load of poison sluBg on a
pole between himself and another fellow
who was evidently in on the PROPOSE
ton. 1t viii be a waste OF time for anyone
to attempt to infict the same Joke upon the
merchant again. Virginia Chronicle.

Railroad to PIaceryille.

The Placerville Democrat of October ID
has the following:
In response to a call of several of eur
citizens, a number of the business and
representative men of the city met on
Thursday last at the Courthouse, for the
discussion of the railroad situation here,
and the adoption of such measures as
would, if possible, secure to Placerville
direct railroad communication with the
outside world.
The meeting was called to order by Fl.
S. Mercy, who read letters from c. p.
Huntington and others connected with the
rilroad interests of the State, and hen
laid the matter before the meeting. After
some discussion of the situation, a commit
tee of ten members was selected to go to
San Francisco and confer with Messrs-
Stanford, Huntington and others regarding
the measures to be taken to insure the
speedy building of the road into this
county. The Committee consists of Messrs.
W. II. Brown, Fl. S. Morey, A. Mierson, G.
g.. blanchard, Samuel Hale, Judge George
L. Williams, II. n. Tracy, ]. ]. Crawford,
John Blair and L. G. Harvey.
Directly after the meeting the committee
held a conference, and, after adjournment,
n telegram was sent to C. P. Huntington,
requesting him to set a time for a hearing.
During the afternoon an answer was re-
ceived stating that the delegation would be
received on Monday next, at the compsny's
Office in San Francisco, and a conference
held looking to The extension of the road
to this point. The delegation left to.day for
San Francisco, in order to be on hand at
the time set. By common consent ii has
been agreed that Messrs. Nef, Perkins,
Strong, Haywards, Harvey, and other in
fuential mine-owners and fruit-shippers of
this county, be invited to join the commit
tee in the conference, that the leading in
terests of the county may be well repre-
