SmiXG NOTES.
New diggings has
been discovered
on Dutch gulch, a tributary of Briggs'
creek, in Josephine county, and
miners have commenced flocking
in and eating claims.
The Palmer creek company cleaned
up this week and suspended for the
season. We learn that the result
proves the mine to be a valuable one.
Klippel, Hanna & Co. have now
commenced piping in earnest with ex
cellent prospects. This company will
have water during the greater part of
the Summer.
Water has commenced failing in
most all of the mining camps of this
and Josephine county and a clean up
will soon be made. The season has
been a very short one but the returns
promise to be good nevertheless.
AL McKenzie, Superintendent of
the Centennial Mining Co., jt Willow
Springs, will return to Oa!
gon, this week. He

turn next Fall to continue
on a larger scale.
operations
The news from Briggs and Silver
creek continues encouraging. A man
from the first mentioned creek arrived
at Grants Pass (yesterday who reports
three hundred men in that locality.
Most of the men have claims, and
ground sluicing has been commenced
in earnest with good prospects.
The Griswold Case. Judge Saw
yer yesterday announced his opinion
in the case of W. C. Griswold, plaintiff
in error, against the United States, re
versing the case and remanding it to
the district court. The points decided
by Judge Sawyer briefly stated are as
follows: In a civil case in which the
right to recover depends on the ques
tion whether the defendant has com
mitted a crime, the crime must be pro
ven beyond a reasonable doubt Sec
ond, the knowledge of an agent will
not charge the principal, when crime
is the subject of inquiry, unless the de
fendant has actual knowledge of the
facts known to the acent The case
was twice tried before Judge Deadv,
the first trial resulting in a disagree
ment of the jury, and the second in a
verdict against Griswold for 35,000.
The reversal of the case by Judge Saw
yer will make other proceedings in the
district court necessary. It is just to
Judge Deady to saythat after a more
lull examination of the case than he
was able to make at the trial hrt con
curred with Judge Sawyer in the sec
ond point made in his decision. "Ore-
gonian," April 23d.
Splendid Team. Mr. Wm. Spang
ler started on Monday for Reading
with the finest team and outfit that ever
left this valley. His team is an eight
horse one, all splendid draught animals,
the wheelers weighing thirty hundred,
and the whole team hold their heads
as if attached to a royal equipage.
The main wagon is a regular prairie
schooner of the most substantial make,
with a trail wagon attached with coup
ling that forces it to track while round
ing a curve. The whole outfit is com
plete in every respect, and is equal to
any we have ever seen in any country.
Mr. Spangler was loaded with ten thous
and iKunds of freight, consisting of
flour, bacon, eggs and grain, ' and was
bound for Reading by way of Weaver-
ville, and will bring back a similar
amount of return freight A few
such enterprising teamsters as Spangler
would place us beyond the want of a
narrow gauge or any other kind of a
railroad.

Editor Sentinel. In tne "Demo
cratic Times" of last week appears a
card from Mr. Jay Beach challenging
me to match the colts of Sir Walter
with those of Altamont for five hun
dred dollars. This proposition is hard
ly fair, as the foals of Altamont are all
from fine mares and those of Sir Walter
are from cold blooded stock. The time,
"one and two years from next fall," is
also too far off to suit me. To satisfy
Mr. Beach and the admirers of Alta
mont I will mike a fairer and more
decisive offer, and one that will save
the trouble of taking Altamont to Reno
this falL I will match Sir Walter
against Altamont on the trotting track
at Yreka in October next for one
thousand dollars, five hundred dollars
forfeit, to be placed in the hands of C.
C' Beekman in Jacksonville by the
first day of June next, the race to be
mile heats, best three in five, and gov
erned by the rules of the National
Trotting Association. This is certain
ly the squarest manner of deciding the
speed qualities and endurance of the
two horses. Respctfully,
Geo. W. Stephenson.
Jacksonville, April 30th, 1879.
Duties of Postal Agent. There
is a misapprehension in the public
mind in regard to the power and du
ties of a Postal Agent Many sup
pose that his authority is supreme and
that he is able, on the shortest notice,
to correct all shortcomings of mail
contractors, postmasters and others
concerned in the transmission of mails
within the bounds of his jurisdiction.
This is a mistake. He is the confiden
tial agent of the Government, and it is
his duty to report all omissions of duty,
by those who are in the postal service,
over which he has authority, to the
Past-office department at Washington,
and before corrections can be made the
regular red tape proceedure has to be
gone through with from head quarters
down to the point where complaint
originates. A Postal Agent is gener
aly held responsible for much more
than is his share of responsibility in
regard to irregularities in the mails.
Real Estate Transactions The
following transactions in real estate
have been recorded since the last issue
of the Sentinel :

interesting programme has been arran
ged for after dinner, to consist of wheel
barrow races, foot races, etc. for the
boys, and target shooting with bows
and arrows for the school girls, for
which prizes will be offered. The Jack-
rsohville Band will furnish music during
the day and an enjoyable time for the
joung folks is anticipated. E. D.
Foudray will be Marshal of the Day.
"We have just received from Y.
Gray, 117 Post Street, San Fancisco,
an exquisite little ballad entitled
Grandfather's Home." It has tiai
ple heartfelt words, wedded to
a melody that leaves a lasting impres
sion on the hearer; that brings to mind
the good old time songs, "Old oaken
bucket," "Old Kentuckey home,"
"Lily Dale," etc Mr Gray informs us
that his California song, "Where
is Heaven!" has caught the fever
of popularity in the Eastern States;
which means orders from 100 to 500
copies a day. Either of those two
pieces will be mailed on receipt of 35
cts. stamps.
