CORNUCOPIA.
The Owyhee Rising—Anti-Chinese Meeting—Trouble in Aurora District.
Cornucopia, April 6, ’76.
I have a few items to note. It is mentioned here that Winters will not be able to complete his bridge contract on time, owing to the want of timbers for it. This is too bad, for many had made their calculations for business that way. The river is rising very fast now, and much delay will retard matters till late in the month of June or July.
To-night we had A GRAND ANTI-CHINESE MEETING, A. B. Chapman, presided; assisted by two vice presidents. A committee on resolutions was appointed. J. A. Savage, Judge McGowen, and your humble servant as speakers. We had a turnout of about two hundred citizens, and, for an interior mining camp, it was quite an enthusiastic meeting. The resolutions etc. will be noted in the county papers.
EVERYTHING NOW IS VERY DULL. The Leopard has levied an assessment, for the purpose of making their necessary improvements; consisting of furnaces for the working of ore, and erecting hoisting works at the mine. The mine is there yet, and we will have a good summer.
OTHER MATTERS. Reeves and Ringgold arrived home last night. Day before yesterday Dutch Henry left for home on foot. Mart Fleming and partner are running Woodruff & Ennor’s hotel here—have just started in. There is some trouble out at the new district of Aurora about claims. One fight has already come off, and others are prophesied. “Sleepy George”—George Wallace—is here, having just come in from Elko.—S. M. H.
