As a class in the community, they are quiet, orderly and peaceable. Their mutual quarrels seldom or never require the arbitrament of the courts, and during the past year there has been among them but one arrest and conviction, on a charge of manslaughter. As far as my observation extends, public opinion seems, in regard to this people, to be apathetic and seldom demonstrative either for or against them ; that there exists, however, a latent prejudice against them is highly probable. From time t...o time, it is true, we hear of outrages inflicted upon some one of them in the same manner, and perhaps as fre- quently, as dogs or cattle are maltreated. Otherwise they are as free from annoyance as any other class in the community. They do not compete WEST OF THE ROCKY MOUNTAINS. 141 with the whites, and, when mining, either buy claims, thus acquiring rights which are respected, or take up abandoned ground. I am unac- quainted with any locality, either placer or vein mine, where the Chinese are hired by the whites.
