Different Here.

In most mining districts, where pros
pectors have claims for sale, and the
"capitalist' fails to make good, before
his option expires. the owner settles
back in despair and awaits the arrival
of another adventurer. Not so out
this way. When the people who had
an option on the Golden Gate mine
failed to make their second payment
of $40, 900 in July, the owners at once
resumed operations on their own ac-
count, and the little three-stamp mill
has ever since been knocking out
about 500 day for it's owners. AS it
requires but four or five men to oper-
ate the mine and mill, very large
portion of this 500 is net profit, and
the owners are resting very comforta-
BILE and contented.

TWO PRISON BREAKS.
One in California, and One in Ne
vada.

The recent break of prisoners from
the California penitentiary calls to
mind the last serious attempt at whole
sale delivery which occurred in the
prison at Carson. The Carson prison
ers, as in the Folsom break, made a
rush, captured the captain of the
guard, the lieutenant, and another
prison officer, and started for the gate
leading from the prison yard, using
the officers as shield from the bull
lets of the guards on the walls. The
expectation of the prisoners was that
the captain would order the guards to
hold their fire, and that they would
simply march out. Captain Matthew
son, however, was not made of that
kind of stuff He ordered the guard
on one of the posts to put down his
shotgun and use his rifle. The guard
did SO, and struck one of the convicts,
named Mathena, in the side, the bull
let passing through him from side to
side, and breaking the arm of Captain
Matthewson. The firing was kept up,
other members of the guard joining in
the fray, and Lieutenant Gignon of
the guard, also being wounded. Sew
eral of the prisoners were put out of
the fight, and one had his head blown
clear off by charge of buckshot at
short range from the gun of guard
stationed on the drawgate. The firing
became too hot for the convicts, and
those who were not already down sur
rendered, not one getting outside of
the prison yard.
All of the wounded prison officials
recovered, and received the honors
due them for their manly actions at
critical moment, the captain being
presented with testimonial by the
citizens, in the form of fine gold
watch and chain.
At Folsom the other day, the plan
Of the convicts worked better. The
Warden, being little careful of his |
own skin, ordered the guards to hold
heir fire, and bakers dozen of the
worst criminals in the country were
allowed their liberty, and have been a
menace to the community for several
weeks, with no present indications
hat they will ever be caught. This
freak has cost the State great deal OF
money, and the lives of several brave |
