alton that the ore Mr.. Rule is after is
located in that direction will be sur

that the ore body was located west of

SPARKS FROM sCHELLBOURNE

Our stages come in regularly, on
wheels from Cherry and on runners
from Aurum.
The weather for the past week has
been balmy, and springlike, and the
snow is going off rapidly. The hard
storms of the week previous were ex-
pected to be very damaging to cattle,
but no loss of any consequence is anti
cipated now.
News came last week of the dis
covery of quite body of ore on Ruby
Hill, but it was quickly followed by
the disconraging intelligence that an
attachment had been placed on the
property by James Stevens and John
Foppianni for wages due them. Ow-
ing to the stringency in financial cir
cles the company has not been able
to keep up with the payments, but
beginning with the first to go on have
been paying wages to the men from
month to month, paying each time
few more. Every ones turn could
not come at once, and the result is the
unfortunate attachment. Those who
know whereof they speak say no fears
need be entertained on the score of the
Grizzly Co. That they will pay all
they owe.

He Got There.

Carson Appeal: On Wednesday
evening Senator Jones visited the '49
Camp and took in the hurdy house,
enjoying every minute of the time
spent. He treated the boys, took a
turn at the wheel and was simply en-
tranced at the gyrations of the dan
GERS. The appearance of the old sill
yer Senator in camp drew good
many miners out of their holes, one
of whom tells this story on Jones:
Once in Placerville he was invited
to ball and his white shirt being in
the wash he appropriated one belong
ing to J. Owens, miner in an adj
joining cabin. Owens traced up the
matter and was very hot when he
found his shirt on Jones. He charged
him with stealing it and offered to bet
Jones 800 that his name was on it.
Jones, who never takes a bluff, put
up the money and on the show down
sure enough there was the name j..
Owens stamped on the shirt.
"Hold On that's my name, said
Jones and he slowly repeated the let
tiers "J-o-w-e-n-s; that's the way
always spell it.
The crowd howled at the clever
way the Senator lit on his feet and
J. Owens set up the drinks.
