The Com~ pany is formed for the purpose of ac~ quiring the title to certain real estate, lands, tenements, timber, water privileges, iron mines, sand and limestone quarries, shale beds and coal mines in Sierra and Plumas counties, in Gold and Mohawk Valleys, to sell, lease or mortgage the same; also to improve and use the same for mining, quarry~ ing, smelting, milling, and the manufacture of pig iron, bar iron, blooms, railruad iron, shoes and dies, hollow ware and castings, steel bars, wheels, railroad cars, lumber, and other articles of utility produced from iron and wood, and to sell or hypothecate the same ; also to acquire and improve land for town sites, and to obtain the right to Jay and maintain railroads, tramways, and other means of communication ne~ cessary for the profit atid convenience of the Company ; to erect saw mille furnaces, rolling mills, machine shops and foundries,“ and construct canals ; also to acquire dands in Califoraia or Nevada, on the line of any railroad for the use of iron, or Jumber, or coal de~ posits, or.for the erection of furnaces, rolling-mills, niachine shops, etc. The capital stock of the Company is $1,200,000, divided into 12,000 shares at $100 per share. Following are the Trastees: Nicholas Luning,; James M. McDonald, LB. Piatt, Wm. 8. Day and As thisis the first direct effort to establish @ company for the working of iron mitfes in this State, says a Bay pa« per, a few facts in addition to the above will be of interest:to the public. From the report of Frank E. Brown, civil en~ gineer, it appears that. the Gold Vailey deposits is oval in shape, with diameters of 200 and 250 feet, presenting an average height above the surface of 40 feet by about 160 teet in length. Other lodes oceur in ten different places, occupying & line of 1,000 feet, 12 to 15 feet above the ground, snd from 12 to 80 feet wide, He says the ore is of the best quality, the largest proportion being nearly pure magnetic oxide. Lime~ stone is abundant and can be quatried easily: He reports the most favorable site for the erection of works is in the Mohawk Valley, on Eagle creek, three miles from. Jamison City and 47 froin Truckve, on the C, P. Railroad,to which place.an excellent wagon road can be constructed, There is an abundance of timber and.water power and the winters are mild. Baron Fv Richthofen, writing of this locality, says: “During repeated visits to these places, from May ‘to October, 1865, I found that the deposits, as tar as explored till then, are situated on the headwaters of the North and Middle Forks of the North Yuba river, about tweive miles’ EB. N. E. of DoWnieville. The country is mounsaino. s; its waters escape to. the west, throagl ravines. Near their sources these ravines expand tw basins and valleys, often filled by lakes, and separated . from each otherby ridges of little elevation above thei sir level. Communication is easy between the d ifferont parts of these highlands end extends to a depression on the head waters of the North Fork and the central part runs through a gap between both Forks. Goid Valley is a fine ba~ sin abeat 6,200 feet above the level of the sea. The mines can boast of the best quality of iron ore which is known to exist. They consist altogether of magneticiron ore,the same from which the celebrated Swedish and Russian iron is manufactured. ‘thienonenaee: Drrve.—The Pate District Court, Sah Francisco, . was occupied one entire day, in the case of Williamson vs. Pierre. The facts were as follows: The defendant hired a horse of Mr. Williamson. for a drive. He took his wife and boy and drove to the Cliff House, around the the eouniey to the San Joss Railroad depot. There they got a cup of coffee and then started back on the Ocean House road. While driving along the Beach the horse suddenly fell down and died. Williamson sued for the value of the animal, asking a judgment for $400, on the ground that the horse died from over-driving. Many experts were sworn as to the character of the driving und the distance traversed, and the result was jodgment for the plain~ tiff for $400 and costs of suit. : _ Mercnants’ buok SLATE. — The Enterprise says: Charley Palmer, the indefatigable seeker after new things, has just received from the East a new style of mefnorandum book, equal in every respect—in fact, superior—to the ivory tablet in such general use. The books are of the usual size, and the leaves —which are very thick and stiff— arecovered by &@ preparation patented by the Silicate Slate Company. Upon the leaves of the book one may write with @ common lead pencil, and then, when the note is no longer of any use, a single dash of a wet sponge, or pocket handkerchief, obliterates the. whole therefore, be it Resolved, That in his death we recognize the loss to our county and State-of-oneof—the most enterprising, euergetic and public spirited citizens. Resoleed, That this Board now in sesgion adjourn in respect to his metnery,—and—thatthey attend his funeral as a body this day, Resoloed, That these resolutions be placed on the journal of proceedings of this Board. Wareat.—We have been shown, says the Merced Herald, a specimen of wheat raised by one Pipkins, in the Alabama settlement, this season, which proves conclusively that the soil of that section is well adapted to the production of small grain. The crop of which we were shown a sample was sown on tlie 10th day of February, and harvested seventeen bushels to the acre on an average. Other crops in the -neighborhood are equally good. ; SLATE MINEs.—Sliate, in tiles and ground into impalpable dust, has become quite an article of commerce in this State within the past year At Stockton it is now shipped as regularly as copper ore was three years ago, and we hear ofan excitement in Western Calaveras for slate claims, that equals any local gold fever experienced within ten years. Copperopolis is to be restored to her former prosperity, and all ‘‘on slate.” ; Who EVER HEARD OF THE LIKE? The Virginia Enterprise says: “A slut owned on A. street, the other day had a litter of 21 pups. This is “litterally” true, although a less number might have answered the “purpose.” We have never before heard of so many young canines coming into the world at once. It looks as though the moth~ er must have deliberately contemplated the production of twins Ain’t this the . . dog-on -dest country yet?” Panty AssessMeNTs.—The full list of . assessments On the Democratic candidates in’ San Francisco, as published and the’page is as bright as before SnooTine ScnaPe.—On Friday morning, says the Grass Valley Union, W. H. McCloud was brought before Jus-. + tice Sykes on a charge of assault with intent to murder Shadrack Sowell. Con. stable Motgomery made the arrest. Is appears. that Scwell was riding along, and two shots, as if by a double barreled shot gun -were fired at him. He: turned his head and saw McCloud standing behind a clump of chapparal. The defendant waved an examination and was held in. bonds of $2,000 to answer before the County Court. The parties ° reside near Bear river. > THE Hvaminer declares. that it is the “only Democratic daily paper in San Franciseo.”’ *]t is the original, and sole Cheap John, It asserts that the Herald is independent, and as to the Cal— “well, the les$-said the better,’—-since it talks.on all sides of every question at the same tinje, and almost in the same article!

It is estimated that the firm have spent not less-than fifty thousand dollars in this way, independently of advertising ex~ tensively. Deatn or A Newsparer MAn.— Orrin P.
