remember that last summer the Fos "a

etc, looking to the establishment OIL
free rural mail delivery routes. AT the
request of Congressman De Vries ana
some of our county officials, Mr. Amin
spent a day in Sacramento, being
driven through the country ADJOINING
Oak Park and surrounding Florin.
Mr.. Amin on that occasion stated
that we had thrifty rural populatloh'
and the general appearance OF the
farms indicated that our out-o1-toWh
people We're a class who would reasi
much and receive considerable mari
matter. but in the course OF MS re
marks he intimated that our ROADS
We're not up with various other COM
munities in this State where rural mail
delivery routes had been established,
and for that reason he could not give
those who were interested in the mat
ter much encouragement.
Assemblyman Morris Brooke, not be-
ing satisfied to let the matter drop
without making further effort, con-
suited Supervisor Curtis, who author
lied the procurement OF a map inul-
eating the position of the houses, roads,
etc, of the section extending for three
or four miles south and east of OAK
Park, commencing at Brighton juno
ton, taking in adjacent territory and
running in a southerly and westerly
direction, ending at Sutterville over
200 families were included in this pro-
posed route, representing a, total popu-
lation of over 1000 persons.
= The signatures of the heads of the
families were attached to petition,
the necessary data was furnished, and
this map and petition, in conjunction
with similar map and petition from
Fair Oaks, which had been procured
through the efforts of Professor Gilmore
Chase, H. H. Pierce and other public
spirited citizens, were sent by MT.
Brooke to Congressman De Vries, who
in turn forwarded them to Washington
Mr. Brooke, in an interview with
fRecord- Union reporter, stated that
he recently received word from Con-
gresham De Vries to the effect that
the prospect is very good for the pro-
scurenlent of these two routes which, II
established, will undoubtedly lead TO
more free mail delivery routes in TINS
County.
g A map of Florin and the surround
ing country was also procured and q

stating that the Florin route was out
of the question, for the present at
least, and the matter was dropped

LABORERS ROBBED.
A Fe11ow-Workman Arrested on
Suspicion.


Yesterday morning John Nolan, Carl
Markgraf and Thomas Carroll who had
been employed on the new steel railroad
bridge over the American River, visit
ed police headquarters and the first
two named complained that while they
slept somebody entered their room at
91S Second street and rified their pock-
cts of S26
Later in the day Nolan and Mark
graf again showed up and told Acting
Chief Ash that it had dawned on them
that Carroll might have had something
to do with the disappearance of their
wealth The three had gone to the
Second street lodging house together,
but as only one bed was to be had, Car
roll left his blankets and went else
where to sleep. They thought he
might be able II throw some light on
the subject of>the disappearance of the
money.
Officer Bagley was accordingly dis
patched, and, guided by Markgraf and
Nolan, he soon rounded up Carroll At
the station the latter was searched ard
in his pockets was found $3.50 His
companions say that he was dead
broke while at work for the railroad
company, and that they tided him
along; that on Saturday he was paid
off, receiving $3.50, and of that amount
he spent $3.50 for a watch, $1.25 for a
pair of shoes, and other sums for sup
per, bed, drinks, etc.
The men are strangers in Sacramento
having, it is understood, only recently
come from San Francisco.

u. ODsRd1terson, George Menke ard
S. A. Pugh returned last evening, after
ten days trip to the new copper min
ing district in the northwest portion Of
Colusa County, near the Lake County
line. These gentlemen and a number
of other Sacramentans are interested in
the Ruby King and other copper mines
in that locality These mines are To-
Gated on a ledge of immense width and
which has been traced for distance
of eight miles from near Cooks Springs.
Some preliminary work is being done
on the Ruby King claim under the SUI
perintendency of George Cooper, the
we'll known electrician of this city Mr..
Patterson brought some chunks of ore
from the ledge, which, he says, are of
average quality, and which he declares
will yield from 40 to 80 per cent. in
copper. They certainly appear to be
very rich.
Mr. Patterson speaks glowingly of the
COluSa County roads over which his
party Travelled, and declared that Sacra-
mento, with all her advancement and
despite the vast sums yearly expended
on her roads, has not a mile of high
way that can compare with the roads
even in the outside portions of Colusa.
He says the latter are graveled-not
with two or three inches of material,
but with plenty of it, and that they are
as smooth as the bitumen pavement on
street in this city.
AS for the crops, Mr.. Patterson says
he never saw any so promising at this
season of the year In the country
about Arbuckle' they drove for miles
along summer fallowed fields where the
grain was from four to six inches high
and growing rapidly. With anything
like an average seasons rainfall the
yield ought to be enormous next year.
Mr.. Patterson thinks that he and his
associates will yet develop bonanzas of
copper in the Colusa hills.

RIVER FRONT INCIDENT.
Calls for Help, but Nobody is Re
ported Missing.

At an early hour yesterday morning
one of the steamboat watchmen on the
river front heard cries for help coming
from the Yolo side of the river, and
he got into a boat and FASTENED across
He found a man lying on some rocks
where the jetty is being constructed
but had some difficulty in rousing him.
as he was quite drunk. The watch
man asked him who had called for help,
and if he knew whether or not any
person had been in the water.
The man was very ugly. He denied
that he or anyone else had called for
help, and as the Waterman could get
nothing from him but abuse he left
him. Nobody has been reported as
missing, although there was a rumor
that shortly before the Waterman
heard calls for help two men had
started across the river in boat

(Arbuckle Independent

\AIDuckle independently
George Alexander was in town this
week and gave expression to his dis
approval of the item which appeared
in this paper last week. He hunted
up the individual who furnished the
basis of the item, who explained it
was only a dinner-table joke. Alex
ander stated, and Supervisor Wilson
confirmed his statement, that the dog
which bit him is not the dog which he
traded off to Harry Brooks, although
both CANNES are brindle bull dogs.
AS we We're deceived by our informant,
we most cheerfully hasten to correct
the mistake, more especially as Mrs
Alexander's feelings were hurt. Of
course the originator of the joke is
most to blame, but as he acknowledged
his untruthfulness, Mr.. Alexander
stated he didn't want any hard feel
lngs over the matter Our readers
may consider the matter closed.
