BIRD SLAUGHTER,

\ Specimen of What Our Lawmakers Do
Not Know About Some Things.
Notwithstanding the fact that the un-
wise lawmakers of California have legal
izsd the slaughter of doves as early in the
season as the 1st of June, all good sports
men should refrain from killing them dur
ing this month, at least. On the subject of
dove-shoohng, the Woodland Mai! says:
Woodland hunters are having great
sport with doves at the present time.
Almost every evening from two TO a dozen
gentlemen go out to Cache creek and with
No. s shot create great havoc among the
palatable birds. Doves are not sufficiently
protected in Yoio county. The law should
forbid their killing until the 1stof July
as by that time they are through laying
eggs and rearing their young The female
doves killed now are full of eggs Of good
size"
Doves, like other bird species. breed in
the spring, and the young are not old
enough to fly or care for themselves so
early as the first OF June. Parties who
have been out shooting in the vicinity of
Sacramento mo reference to the small
class of fellows who sneak out before the
season opened and slaughtered the birdsl
say they bagged only old birds, and that
the females were full of eggs It is shame
to thus legalize the determination of the
doves, the shooting of which is such fine
sport in July and August, when one can
sit under a shady tree on a pass and
enjoy quiet afternoon.

Constable Ammons of Clarksburg, Yolo

midnight last night with prisoner who
gives the name of John Smith, and who is
suspected of being the murderer, or one OF
those concerned in the murder, of Milo
Hawes, who was slain in Yolo county.
few miles from this city, on Sunday last.
Smith is middle-aged man, and when
arrested was conducting himself in a man
ner to attract attention and cause suspicion.
He had with him a sack containing lot of
old clothing, a kettle, etc. Officer Coifey
says he recognizes him as person whom
he saw in this city couple OF weeks ago.
The Clarksburg officer could not
be found after depositing his pris-
oner in the Jail, but it was
learned from the officers at the City
Prison that the suspected man, Smith, bore
the appearance of having been camping in
the tules and bushes, and that his whole
manner was evasive and suspicious.

MORE MINING NEWS.
An Expert Writes from Hasa-
HaQua.

An Expert writes from Hasa
Mr.. J. P. Cutter, the wellkuown min
ing man, yesterday received another in
teresting letter from Hasa Haqua regard
ing the newly located mines there. 1t is
written by Sam Butler, who is noted as
an expert throughout the western coun-
try, and is dated January 2Sth: Ex-
tracts from it read as follows:
"There is undoubtedly the making of
a big mining camp there, but in my
opinion it will have to change hands be-
fore it will amount to great deal. Every
day miners are going in there from all
cities, east and west. The original own
ers are not doing much work on their
claims. They have q small hole or cut
run on top of the richest prospects, and
so far as a person can see they cannot
come to conclusion about how much
ore they have got. Of the original nine
claims, two show gold ore and the bal
ance are lead carbonates carrying silver
and a little gold. 1t is the opinion of
most OF the mining men that they would
all run into carbonates and will make q
good smelling camp. Even if this gold
ore does not 60 down moro than twenty
feet, the boys have fortune. / have
seen many large bouiders of gold orc os
the sidehill of one of the claims which
were float" from the ledge. Some of
them weighed as much as 600 or 500
pounds, and by knocking piece
off almost anywhere we could see
free gold. These mines
are in the same belt as the Vulture mine
and are about forty-miles southwest and
therefore in the Hagua- Hela range. The
range is alive with prospectors their be-
ing probably 500 men around. would not
advise anyone to 60 to the camp expect
ing to get work, anyhow for the next two
or three months, for there are lots of men
there who want work and they are all
broke, and worse than all they have.
no grub. There is no boarding
house at the mines, and I believe one
would do well there. They are going to
lay off town, but there is no perman-
ent water at the mines, although plenty.
could be obtained from the Harris
burg mill where there are wells
from 1S to rs feet deep. When they get
to working the mines extensively the
machinery will be put in at the mines
and the water brought there, though it
will have to be forced up, as there is .
rise of about 300 feet in the three miles.
There is lots of mesquite wood from four
to elk miles away, and also good road
to the mill. There is no grass nearer
than eight or nine miles, but there is
lots OF it in that distance. It stands 90
thick in many places that it could be
moved with moving machine, but
there is no water where the grass is.
" There is one boarding house,
four saloons and two corrals at the Har-
risburg mill, four miles from the mine.
II To get to the mines from
Los Angeles is only two days journey.
You must get off at Sentinel, on the
Southern Pacific, from which point to
Harrisburg the stage runs three times
| week, the fare being $l2."
