The last legislature passed, an act
empowering County courts to offer a

animals, and an order was issued au

Sonic take the position that tho clerk
wanted them to eat during the winter,
as a kind of n dol'icaey, so to speak,

know. Whatever may have been the
cause, it did not appeacc the wrath of
Laag. Shclton, who brought a num
ber of bear and cougar scalps to the
County Clerk's ollice, last Wednes
day, and because he could not produce
their tails, he was not permitted to
liunule any of the county's money.
Loag. said he "didn't know they

The farmers arc considerably riled up

a mistake of his. Ho was Instructed by
the court to post notices for bids to furnish
wtHd. jiic) h po.-tod the other notice in
similar manner, being under tl.e Impress
ion that such was fte brdor of , the court.
Ho thinks, however, $r to be paid the

which wftl bo' required of him. In addi

is r Hpiired to tnke charge pf nil P,tte paft

tractor for taking cart! of tho county poor,
and $800 additional was paid for tho care
of State paupers, and one member of the
Hoard of examiners for the insane, amoun
ting in pit to $14f0. Tints it will lie seen
that there is not much differoncc in the
amount to bo paid this year, after all. artd
taking Into consideration tho large num
ber of people who will visit the mines next
year, rather favorable to the county, as all
money paid for State pauper? is refunded.
We think, however, that notices for bids
of this kind should bo published, not only
in one, but all the euiinfy papers, and the
criticisms of the Argus, on;tbl3 matter, so
far as it concerns ti.at part of the question,
at least, very appropriate, and'lo the point.

A horrible discovery was made in China
town, an I'ranc'sco, last Tuesday. Infor
mation was given the city coroner that a
frightful stench was being emitted from a
cellar on l'acillc street. He wont and
forced bis way in and found thb hqor cov
ered with human skulls and bones, parti
ally covered with ilesh in tho last stago of
putrefaction. Among tho decayed mass
worms wore crawling, while the lloor was
w t aiu slimy with liquids oMiding front
tho remains, In an inner room tho coro
ner found t, numb r of Chinese, engagod in
boiling down the remains of other bodies,
while other Chinese were engaged in scra
ping tho boiled bones and packing them in
boxes for shipment to China. It is estima
ted that tho cellar contained over; 1100 dead
bodies which had been taken secictoly
from various cemeteries throughout tl
State, As an instance of Chinese ingenu
ity, it is stated that those jn charge of tho
operations fearing tl o stencn from tho
boiling pots would be'so groat as to attract
attention outside, procured two living
skunks, so fjiat the odor of tho latter might
overcome the former. The coroner con
fiscated all tho remains.

for some time, but ho is so far recovered as
to snap at us again. He talks about what
is "confidentially reported in newspaper
circles," just for all the world as though ho
is a Miinhig light in that same "circle."
Wo do not think an origional editorial has
appeared in tlo columns of the Gazette
since he has had charge. As for his local
department, something less than two col
umns, written in school hoy style, is about
the extent of it, the remaining portion
filled up with clippings from otjier papers,
the Scout being his favorite oveba'nge to
attack with the shears, lie probably poss
esses a certain amount of "horse sense"
and clioek which would sprve his purpose
in other walks of bfo, and we again advise
him to forego his 'nowspaporial and sena
torial aspirations, and give us a rest. Ver
ily "the weak tilings of tli is earth are cho

Thomas J. Fitch, in speaking of tho new
mines, says : "I came Jioro to stay three
days, but was so impressed with the ini
menso possibilities of the camp that I re
mained. I hve been Hero now two weeks
and shall stay certainly till deep snow-fall,
and probably during tho winter, After a
varied experionco and observation of some
thing over twenty years, I have never seen
a mining district which at such an early
stago of its development gave such prom
ises of wealth aijd permanence a at this. If
one-third of tho number of claims already
discovered hero had been found in any
area of similar extent in Nevada, Arlsona
or California, the roads leading to it would
have sheen lined with wagons, boromon and
footmen, 1 shall bo greatly surprised if
within eighteen months from this timp this
district fails to show a population of 15,no0,
with a bullion output never equaled ou this
coast since the palmy days of tho Coin
stock, I intend to camp with it anyhow
and take tho chances."

of 1m Grand b, who has been prospecting in

ho is talking about, having had consider
abjo oxperienco in the oil regions of Penn
sylvania, lie propose to pipe tho well
and haul some of the oil to town, if tho
now road Is built, Mr. Miller aho brought
with him somo vory lino specimens of gold
ami silver bearing rock. Ono picco of rock
came from the "Gray Uagle" ledgo. which
ho had assayed, showing 12000 silver and
11.40 gold to the ton, Another piooo from
the "Lost Itoy" assays 1480 gold to the
ton. Mr. Miller Udieves we have a very
rich mineral district. He will return to
