i about twenty-five teams .-.nd a large force of

j opportunity for getting sand. The whole
west end of the slough, up to the Third street |

street and the depot, which will lie a fine im
provement over its present appearance, and

tation or valuable building ground.
TttE Encampment.— Nothing particularly
: new has developed regarding the proposed
excursion and encampment of the First Ar
tillery Regiment, except that the proposition !
to go to San Rafael has been made. One of
the mountain companies is undecided as to
. going. The failure of one company to attend |
will prevent the regiment from receiving
State aid for the encampment, and. as a con- •
sequence, kill the whole scheme. The officers
of the regiment held a meeting Saturday, !
! and meet again to-morrow evening.

DEATH OF R. H. PENNY.
, ....
"- From a letter received yesterday by C. T.
Wheeler from Thomas Baker, dated Lima,
Peru, the death of K. H. Penny, formerly a
resident of this city, is announced. The let
ter says : 7. '.' It is my painful duty to inform
you of the death of our mutual friend, 11. H.
Penny. He died, as the inclosed notice will !
tell you, on the 13th of May. He left home
to work some mines he had found some time
before. '■ I ! may i say he ' worked ■ himself ,to
death. He left home for Huanta about four
months ago with his partner, got possession
of the mine,' and had got the water out ready j
to take out i metal, when he was seized with
the sickness that carried him off." The South
Pacific Times, published at Lima, under date
of June 29th, has the following notice of his
death: /. - -
p "The mail from the mountains brings us
to-day the melancholy: intelligence iof the
death of another of the little band of foreign
ers closely identified with the wonderful i
works of the Oroya Railroad. On the 13th
instant, at Huanta, in the Department of
Ayacucho, Robert Hodge Penny died of con- I
gestion of the lungs, in the forty-first year of j
his age. Steadfast and persevering in all he
undertook, earnest in friendship, modest in ;
demeanor, l patient in adversity, Mr. Penny j
commanded the respect and won : the esteem
of all with whom he associated. He was kind i
to the distressed, gentle to those who suf- j
fered, hospitable to the wayfarer, and no gen- [
vine appeal to his generosity ever met with a
repulse. Dying in a foreign land, away from i
home and kindred, his last hours were soothed !
by the presence of his beloved wife, and i
faithful friends did all that human solicitude
could do to soothe his sufferings and avert
the blow ; and when his spirit winged its
flight, laid him away gently, reading over his
resting-place the - beautiful service of the
Church of England. Peace to his ashes ! In
him we lose , a faithful friend, an earnest
worker and an honest man ! "
BRIEF NOTES.
Dr. Simmons received a message from Blue
Canyon last evening, requesting him to come
to that point to attend the wife of conductor
Allen, who is lying very low there. The train
was held here some I time for that purpose.
Dr. S. being unable to go owing to pressing
duties, another physician went up in his
stead. /•? ■■ -.--..
The river has now fallen sufficiently so that
a sand bar was visible about three quarters
the way across the river towards the Yolo
side yesterday, the first to mike its appear
ance this season, and the water marked 10
feet 7 inches last evening.

... Watch Agency.— Yesterday in the Police
Court John Brooks, . arrested for embezzle
ment of the proceeds of a watch, was in the
prisoners' corner. The watch was given him
by a gentleman to pawn for him or sell to
raise some money, and as he said he only got
$3 for it the owner refused to accept that
amount, and directed that he return the
money and get the watch back. He failed to
bring back either money or watch, and hence
the arrest. The Judge asked Brooks what
he did with the watch, and he said he sold it.
" Who to? " asked the Judge, half, doubting
bis statement. : . "To that man there," he
replied, . pointing to another prisoner.
And sure enough it so happened that a man
by the name of Reynolds to whom he had
sold it, was also before the Judge, arrested !
upon another charge. The Judge then asked !
Reynolds about it, and he stated that he j
bought the watch of Brooks and gave him
$3 50 for it, and that Brooks never came I
back for the watch afterwards. Brooks' story
as to his having sold the watch was corrob
orated by Reynolds, but it alsj appeared that
he had at first kept back four bits as his com
mission, and reported to the owner that the
sale was for that much lees, and afterwards
concluded he would keep the whole of it.
This was too heavy a commission and resulted
in wrecking his agency.
Auctions to Come.— Sherburn k Smith

Lost His Steak. — favorite dog on Fifth' ,
street, who is trusted to do marketing and
carry any kind of eatables wherever directed,
was a day or two since carrying home a fine
beefsteak in a basket. When he arrived at
the yard eate he pushed it open with consid
erable difficulty. Finally he wcrkei through,
and took the basket with him, but in doing
so turned it nearly bottom side up, and the
meat rolled out without his notice, and he
carried the empty basket into the house. No
sooner had he done so than a hungry cur from
the neighborhood caught up the steak and
dined open it in an adjacent shade. The
faithful carrier was at first suspected of bad

j | It is said that the only drawback to suc
cessful operations in Inyo county is the
high transportation rates charged on bullion .
out and goods and supplies coming in, and
with the extension of the railroad from
Candelaria through Owens Valley, one of
the most extensive mining countries on the
coast will be opened up.
Parties on Butte Creek who own valua-
ble claims which cannot be worked by the
Shepard ditch have located a new ditch,

Grizzly Flat, El Dorado county,' is ex
cited over what is believed to be a mam
moth silver ledge. E. F. Russell, who has
spent a great deal of time among the silver
mines of Mexico, recently found some rock
which induced him to make further explo
rations. The result was. the discovery of
a ledge lying east of the Mount Pleasant
and Eagle, and which haa been traced sev
eral miles. In many places it is believed
to be nearly 100 feet in width. A test in
a blacksmith's forge indicated a large per
cent, of silver.
The Spencerville Copper Mining Compa
ny's works were sunk anil consumed by
fire on Wednesday. The Nevada Tran
script says : The vein of copper ore in the
mine is very wide, and the owners j have
i been breasting it out its whole width. On
■ Wednesday the weight of the ground and
the hoisting works caused the supports to
give way, aud the building and machinery,
together with two men, sank down a dis
tance of twenty-live feet. Directly after
wards j the works took fire, and . in live
minutes they were in a mass of flames.,
The men escaped through the air shaft. . /
• A new road is to be constructed in Mar
iposa county 'to open up an interesting
section. The Mariposa Gazette says : j One
of the most important sections of country
possessing e.jual wealth in mining to that j
I of any other in the country, lying as it I
were within an hour's ride from the town i
of Mariposa, ia that of Whitlocks, Slier
lock*, Colorado, Sexton's, Buffalo Gulch,
Bear creek and all that section of countiy
north of the water-shed diviling; Whig;
locks and Sherlocks from Mariposa creek,
which covers an area of country at least
ten miles square. This is literally a' big
mining claim of placer and quartz, com
paratively untouched, unworked arnLutidc
velopcd, although sufficient prospecting
has been done in a limited manner to prove,
aside from placer mines which have in for
mer days yielded a vast amount of gold,
i that valuable quartz mines exist in that
section, which would, if attention of cap-,
ital and labor could be attracted in that
i direction, prove one of the most important
| mining localities in the county. ,: Many
! veins have been worked more or less at an
' early period sufficient to show their value,
' and are still held by the respective owners
till such time arrives when capital seeks
investment in gold-bearing quartz veins
that will be remunerative to the investors
and owners. The chief cause to be .as
signed for the obscurity of this district of
mining country occurs from ■ the fact ; that
it is and has been almost inaccessible to
reach except on horseback and by trail. .

what worn by their long journey, but are in
-fine trim. Their necessary expanses for the
trip will exceed §50,000, - which' is divided
, among 142 Knights, | making an average jof
§350 each ; but their actual expenses will be

THIEVES AT. WORK IS THE CALI FOBS'IA TENTS.
Stories were i circulated yesterday thai
thefts had been j made of regalias to a large
amount from the tents of the Californians.
The amount was exaggerated ; but some. re
galias were stolen, and in consequence Gen
eral ;.Torrence of the First " Brigade ' of the
State National j Guards j has j furnished a vol
.linteer force to protect the Knights and their
property from thieves, who are present in a
force proportionate to the large crowd from
the outside.
* Among the bits of enterprise is the recep
tion daily by two local . Commanderies of a
car load of California fruits, to be dispensed
to the visiting Knights. "
rzase DAT 01" the conclave.
Chicago, August ICth. — The first day of
the Triennial Conclave of Knights Templai
of the United States opens bright and cool,
with ; , every ' prospect of pleasant . weather
throughout. Trains with i excursion: parties
are arriving at the depots at every hour of
the day, and every train is crowded to its
utmost capacity with Knights and other
visitors. The streets present a scene of un
usual animation, especially along the line of
march, where the ornamentation is most pro
fuse. In the vicinity of the lake front, where
the tents are pitched and arches erected, the
crush , has ■ been continuous tince yesterday
morning, except for a few hours after mid
night. Here the throng is almost impenetra
ble at time*, and the enthusiasm is increased
with every fresh arrival of a Commandery.
Toe various depots are supplied with escorts
for all incoming Knights, who are shown at
once to their quarters, i All trains arrive
late on account of the numerous special and
excursion trains which are running. , The
brilliant display made by isolated bands of
1 Knights who occasionally march through the
streets is but a small indication of what the
magnificent b^dy \ will be when marshaled
together in the parade of ';" Tues
day and * the .' subsequent drill. Yes
terday three thousand persons came into
the' j camp, but owing .ta the "failure
of must of them to announce their arrival
some inconvenience was experienced. The
influx of thieves, pickpockets and burglars is
very large, and they began operations yester
day by capturing some j uniforms from the
tents. The police have been instructed to ar
rest all known bad characters, or even suspi
cious ones, and lock them up during the Con

At Merrimac Hall, • Lieutenant-Governor

not more cordial than is that of \ this State
and its chief city to the Kuights Templar to

ment. of their anticipations of pleasure and

■ ' [ AND STILL THF.T COME. .
A large share of the Commanderies are in
tho city,. having arrived mostly during the
i afternoon and evening. The railroads have
i emptied their human freight into the depots
i with : inconceivable ', rapidity to-day. . It , : is
said that since an early hour this morning
the arrivals of trains on all the roads com-
bined j has been at the rate; of: one
train every, fiva minutes. * Prom -I to
8 o'clock this - evening -i thirteen • trains
arrived over the Rook Island Railroad, and
probably as many or more over each of the
other roads. Every train brings as many
passengers as can crowd in the cars or get
seats on the platform. The only limit to the
influx is the ability of the railroads to carry
all who apply for tickets. The managers of
railroads estimate that up to midnight they
have brought in over 200,000 people, and as
the trains are still arriving ami will continue
to come all night, it is probable that a far
greater number of peop'e will be here to-inor
; row than has been expected. The crowd
on the streets is larger than at any time bo
fore this year, which has been a year of large
crowds in Chicago.
Haverlys & McVicker's theaters to-night
were packed almost to the point of danger,
thousands being turned away long before the
performances began. The three halls in
which the receptions were held were over
flowing with enthusiastic audiences, includ
ing many ladies. The hotels are full, and
the illuminations upon the streets are espe
cially. fine, and are almost universal. The
Exposition building is a blaze of light.
A correspondent of the San Luis Obispo
Tribune says : We had heard a great deal
about the quicksilver interests in the vicin
ity of Cambria, but we were not prepared
to see works of such an extensive nature
as those of the Oceanic mine. The mine
is located up the canyon soma little dis
tance from the works.. No work is being
done, and - a woe-begone, deserted, neg
lected appearance pervades the whole place.
The mammoth furnaces looked as though
they would like to fall to pieces, and be
relieved of the monotony of inaction, and
the condensers were actually rusting away.
The Oceanic was the largest producing
quicksilver mine in this country a few
years ago. The monthly product for
some time was about j 300 flasks of 'Mk
pounds each. j This was when quicksilver
was selling from $1 to $1 55 per pound.
When quicksilver fell- to 35 and 40 cents
the mine was closed, down. The Oceanic
was from the start one of the most suc
cessful mines ever opened. It was bonded
for §47,000, and this amount was all paid
out of the mine during the first year it
was. worked. The company expended in
this county for labor, etc., over 6300,000.
Only one assessment of $4,000 was ever
levied on the stock, which is owned by a
few men in San Francisco. ' Their mine is
as good as it ever was, and the works can
be put in running order in a short time
and at very little expense. Some day
quicksilver is going to be more valuable
than at present, and then this property
will again become remunerative.
