Immense Profits:
Miners say that the new
ghost rock strike in Jackson
County continues yielding
immense profits. From the
accounts given, the
configuration excels anything
yet known in California.
The ore is said to be evenly
distributed through the rock, as
if it had been broken and
rounded into small pebble
shapes and stirred in while the
mass was hot. The owners of
the mine claim that the rock
taken from it is worth $100,000
to the ton. They have already
taken $1,000,000 worth out and
can see as much more of equal
richness in the small opening
made in the ledge. Wild rumors
continue to be circulated by
layabouts about California
Chinamen claim jumping, but
the Sentinel doubts that this
lazy, shiftless race has the
gumption.

Language:

language on the streets is at its

that the Indian of this Coast "is

only by the most stern

OLD TWISTY.

That old bear, "Twisted Foot," has killed

over five hundred dollars' worth of cattle
for Maj. Barron alone, besides what
little butchering he may have done for
other stock owners.
He is now supposed to be an
enormous cinnamon, instead of a
grizzly, and the hunters are a little more
careful than they were when they
thought him a grizzly. When a man is up
a tree he is safe from a grizzly, but the
cinnamon bears are good climbers, as
well as most desperate fighters. "
Twisty's" foot leaves a track in the
mud about the size of a Mexican
sombrero, and his teeth penetrate the
skull and meet in the brain of a big steer
when he happens to make a square bite
in his butchering business.

No Shooting Done:
Last Friday night there was a free fight,
which resulted in several of the
combatants being knocked out. A
carpenter named Walker was the victor,
until he undertook to demolish one of
the proprietors of the C.O.D. Saloon,
who was acting in the role of
peacemaker. He received an ugly wound
in the head at the hands of J.P.
McDaniel, who struck him with a selfcocking pistol that went off at the same
time. Wm. Heffron of Salem, had the
index finger of his right hand so badly
bitten by Walker that Dr. Geary was
compelled to amputate it, and his cheek
also suffered the loss of a piece of flesh.
At last accounts Walker was at work at
his trade, but little the worse for his
exploits.
