Everything is now running as of
yore in the Utica Company's mines
in this town. The damage to the
Cross shaft ocoasioned by the acoi-
dental explosion OF powder therein
about two weeks ago has been re-
paired and the usual complement of
miners we're put to work last Mon
day.-Record.
The main tunnel of the M organ
mine at Carson Hill is being cleared
of debris for the purpose Of admitting
a party of English experts to the

to be sent to England, where COM

Deer are said to be very numer GUS
in this vicinity and are quite tame.
One day last week Steve Gardella, the
driver of the San Andreas stage,
while en- route to this place, dis
covered three near the old Donallan
ranch. Two of them were bucks and
were standing in an open field close
to the road, while in the field on the
opposite side of the road was large
doe. AS Steve drove along the two
bucks jumped the wire fence on the
side of the road not ten feet ahead of
his horses and joining the doe the
until it was out of sight. A number
of deer have also been seen in the
vicinity of the Boston mine during
the last few days. The cold weather
in the mountains has evidently driven
them down from their accustomed
haunts. 1t is extremely provoking,
but if you are law abiding citizen
you won't shoot them until after July
18th, next. -Mok. Chronicle.
