The accident occurred al Grave creek on Wednesday last. -- ---------------- - —<—' ■ ...... R ain .—Some fine showers of rain fell the forepart of this week, which were welcome to the farmers, who were becoming a little solicitous as to the welfare of their crops, the con tinued iair weather drying out the ground very fa->t. Th© roads weie also materially benefited. --------- > . C ontract L et .—The Board of County Commissioners la-t Wednesday let the building of a bridge across R »gue river, at the upper crossing ol that stream, to James Miller, of Butte creek.

The G »vernment is will ing to pay a fair price for grain, and it is to the best interests of all that such bo received. —------------ —■ ■■ ■ ■ — N ot a G ood S ign .—The Teachers’ la-titute la->t week was not what it ought to be. What there was of it was good enough. But the lamentable la k of participants, precluded tho possibility ol the session tieing what it should have been. There could not have been more than a very small percentage of the teachers of the District in attend ance. This is a fact to he deprecat ed, as a well conducted and success ful Institute is conducive of much good toour educational interests. A speedy remedy for this seeming apathy is rec ommended. ' --------------------------- ♦ ■ ■ — S chool M eeting .—A numb» r of ti e citizens of Jacksonville District met at the school house Monday last to elect a director in the place of the late John Bilger. James R Neil was chosen to fill the vacancy. Those present pledged themselves in favor of levying a five-mill tax tor the main tenance of a public school. A resolu tion by Mr. Beekman, instructing the Hoard of Directors to secure the ser vices of Prof. Merritt for another year at a salary not exceeding §1,500 for that period, was favorably acted upon. We ar? sorry to note that the attend ance was not as large as it should Jhuy» been. i ---------------------------- > ---------------- ' »S terling C reek M ines —Welearn that the English company, now work ing extensivediggingson Galice creek, js considering the purchase of the Ster ling creek mines.

C. Jones, L. N. Browning, Silas J. Day, Wm. A. i Woodruff and E. D. Foudray as incor porators. The capital stock is $200,- 000, divided into 200,000 shares, all taken by the owners of the ledge, who donate one-half of the stock, or 100,- 000 shares, to the incorporation, to be sold for the purpose of prospecting the ; mine. No assessment is to be made until all of these 100,000 shares are sold and the proceeds expended in prospecting. Thus the money realized from the sale of shares, instead of go ing into the pockets of individuals, will be expended in developing the ledge. This is the best, fairest and safest scheme for working a mine that ha9 yet come to our notice. The ledge is situated at the head of Cayote creek, in the northern portion of the county, and thought to be rich in precious metals, prospecting finely and being well defined.
