A Matter Which Agitates the People OF
Shasta County.
REDDING, November 12th.-Reports from
the east side of the Sacramento river rep
resent that much feeling and excitement
exists at the attempt OF John V. Scott to
disfranchise those voting for the removal
of the county seat. The seventeen pre-
cincts east of the river cast lob votes,
with only IA against the removal.
WHAT THE SHASTA PEOPLE SAY.
SHASTA, November 12th-Telegrams to
the daily press from Redding have
tiagrantly and notOriously misrepresented
the situation and the feeling in this county
since the election, in regard to the removal
of the county seat. 1t is very doubtful if
Redding has legally obliged the removal of
the county seat. The people of the county
are content TO abide by the law, and the
adjudication ofthe matter before the Courts,
and are willing and agreed to let the law
take its course. All that Shasta asks and
demands is to have her claims for the re-
tention OF the county seat considered before
the proper tribunal, relying on the law for
her defense and vindication.
The Idaho Mine on Fire-The Miners
Rescued.
GRASS VALLEY, November 12th-An ex-
element was created here this afternoon by
the report that the old shaft of the Idaho
mine was on fire 400 feet below the surface
Some alarm was felt, as a large number of
men were at work in the mine. In talking
with one of the miners who had been in
the shaft, he said that the origin of the fire
was unknown that it began in the old
shaft and the smoke made its way through
it and the connecting level to the main
shaft, down which it descended. The min
ers in the lower part of the shaft were
warned BY their colaborers above making
signals on the pipe that something was
wrong, so they III turn warned others, who
were working many hundreds of feet from
the main shaft, in the drifts, and they all
made their way to the level. from which
they were rapidly and safely hoisted on
the cage through 500 feet of smoke. Their
experience was q rough one. The fire is
still burning tonight at P. NJ. and the
smoke from the burning shaft has filed
the valley The town fire hose has been
taken out to aid in putting the fire out
There is no knowing what the damage will
be, but it will be heavy. and large num-
Der of men are lying oil from work
