There is one class of men on “thik coast who are unjustly perseouted. They are an industrious class,and attend strictly'to their own business. Yet they are kicked out of cars, arrested and fined by courts, and generally abused. Their oceupatidn is that of taking the conceit out of some old smartid, who trave! on feilroads, and they lo it by playing three card monte. \We think that their avotation ought td encouraged. Men who are anxious to rob unsophisticated persons, as these sharps represent themselves to be. when they go aboard a railroad train, ought themse'ves to be robbed. They only get the dose they intended the disguised sharp should take: The Union Pacific has taken every precaution against passengers suffering loss from these fellows, and the courts have fined and imprisoned them, yet they still operate, and Jongas there are statesmen who think that they are smart enough to beat:them out of thelr money. Every passenger cur bas a notice posted up cautioning passengers against gamblers and pickpockets, and still there are always enough victims when asharp goes on board. We repeat their occupation is a good one, and ought to be encouraged. Men can not learn the ways cf the world quicker than to be fleeced , by oue of these monte men—and@ once learned they never forget it, A Modest Banker. " San Francisco possesses many noble citizens whose generosity and public spirit have been exhibited by their princely gifts to di fferent institutions. James Licks’ name will be handed down to posterity as one seldom paralleled for generosity, There are others in San Francisco besides Mr. Lick, who deserve and receive the praise of their fellow citizens for their generous gifts in behalf of enterprises of benefit to the people. Indeed, so common have been these generous gifts, that it is very common to claim credit for this public spirited generosity. The most modest benefactor in the city that we bave yet heard of, isa cer-. tain banker. He has had the credit of presenting a printing-office to the State University for a ‘long time. His modesty forbade him-to express the pleasure it gave him ‘to see the people so appreciate his kindness, so the credit of the act for a long time; it now leaks out that he did notGive bough i in the Unie e abel Trat-' ¢ seript. : # Srpeten wo» @ . ine pisos. taken thelr fe sed nominate him, for Booth’ ‘sau Feessor. j he said never a word.

Connected with the property and making a part thereof,—are a boarding house, office ‘and other buildings;.also 160 acres of eheice timber -and-one of the beat water powers in the State. 4 ~~ Chiubing to the Gaston Ridge, the first mine we come tois the Treasury, owned by Cowles & Maybanks, This is-rather ‘a new lovatiun, but for the amount of.work done’ the prospects are very encouraging indeed. They have sunk a shaft 30 feet deep and thence drifted through their ledge, which is here about 20 feet-wide,-and shows’ well-in free gold and su'phurets. The élaim is 1506 feet long,and the ledge is traceable the, whole distance. A small lot sent below and worked = mill process paid $42 79. per-ton,— 3 Work is being pushed on what is ‘known us the old California or Gastou Ridge mine. They have recently cut through a ledge of very rich quartz some two feet wide, and. we understand it is the intention of the Cwners to erect a new mill this fall. Next we pass to Eureka township, where the quartz interest is looking brighter than for some time past, A short distance east of Granite. ville is the Liberty mine, which, . we understand, has just ehanged hands aud the new owners intend to thoroughly open it up. The quartz from: this mine paid well from the surface down; a ledge from 5 to 9 feet thick giving a mill average of from $12 to $19 per ton. ° The old National is being worked with very satisfactory results. A tunnel is driving on the ledge about 100 feet lower down than. it was ever before opened, and the quartz dooks fine. This is one of the old mines of this distriet. Judge Walsh and Col. Raymond, in 1855, built a 4-stamp millon it, -which was ran very successfully for a uymber of years; the quartz paying $12 to $14 perton. This mill was. destroyed by firein 1859, and; the company being scattered, the mine lay idle until about two years ago, when it passed into the hands of Mr. Francis Henry, of Moore’s Flat, who is now opening itup. This property is finely situated and can be worked cheaply, as the right of 80 inches of water with 100 foot pressure, from one of the ditches goes with it, The Republican, a first southerly. extension of the National,has a lar amount of, quartz in sight prospects well, and with ot nearly north and south, dip east anc feet long lower down the » Witha “6) His garden. consists of -abont. two ‘Largest Auction Sales" of COMMISSION STORES “acres ‘of land ‘planted -in-all kindof vegetables, ab tows or growing nicely.

There is one class of men on “thik coast who are unjustly perseouted. They are an industrious class,and attend strictly'to their own business. Yet they are kicked out of cars, arrested and fined by courts, and generally abused. Their oceupatidn is that of taking the conceit out of some old smartid, who trave! on feilroads, and they lo it by playing three card monte. \We think that their avotation ought td encouraged. Men who are anxious to rob unsophisticated persons, as these sharps represent themselves to be. when they go aboard a railroad train, ought themse'ves to be robbed. They only get the dose they intended the disguised sharp should take: The Union Pacific has taken every precaution against passengers suffering loss from these fellows, and the courts have fined and imprisoned them, yet they still operate, and Jongas there are statesmen who think that they are smart enough to beat:them out of thelr money. Every passenger cur bas a notice posted up cautioning passengers against gamblers and pickpockets, and still there are always enough victims when asharp goes on board. We repeat their occupation is a good one, and ought to be encouraged. Men can not learn the ways cf the world quicker than to be fleeced , by oue of these monte men—and@ once learned they never forget it, A Modest Banker. " San Francisco possesses many noble citizens whose generosity and public spirit have been exhibited by their princely gifts to di fferent institutions. James Licks’ name will be handed down to posterity as one seldom paralleled for generosity, There are others in San Francisco besides Mr. Lick, who deserve and receive the praise of their fellow citizens for their generous gifts in behalf of enterprises of benefit to the people. Indeed, so common have been these generous gifts, that it is very common to claim credit for this public spirited generosity. The most modest benefactor in the city that we bave yet heard of, isa cer-. tain banker. He has had the credit of presenting a printing-office to the State University for a ‘long time. His modesty forbade him-to express the pleasure it gave him ‘to see the people so appreciate his kindness, so the credit of the act for a long time; it now leaks out that he did notGive bough i in the Unie e abel Trat-' ¢ seript. : # Srpeten wo» @ . ine pisos. taken thelr fe sed nominate him, for Booth’ ‘sau Feessor. j he said never a word.

They have sunk a shaft 30 feet deep and thence drifted through their ledge, which is here about 20 feet-wide,-and shows’ well-in free gold and su'phurets. The élaim is 1506 feet long,and the ledge is traceable the, whole distance. A small lot sent below and worked = mill process paid $42 79. per-ton,— 3 Work is being pushed on what is ‘known us the old California or Gastou Ridge mine. They have recently cut through a ledge of very rich quartz some two feet wide, and. we understand it is the intention of the Cwners to erect a new mill this fall. Next we pass to Eureka township, where the quartz interest is looking brighter than for some time past, A short distance east of Granite. ville is the Liberty mine, which, . we understand, has just ehanged hands aud the new owners intend to thoroughly open it up. The quartz from: this mine paid well from the surface down; a ledge from 5 to 9 feet thick giving a mill average of from $12 to $19 per ton. ° The old National is being worked with very satisfactory results. A tunnel is driving on the ledge about 100 feet lower down than. it was ever before opened, and the quartz dooks fine. This is one of the old mines of this distriet. Judge Walsh and Col. Raymond, in 1855, built a 4-stamp millon it, -which was ran very successfully for a uymber of years; the quartz paying $12 to $14 perton. This mill was. destroyed by firein 1859, and; the company being scattered, the mine lay idle until about two years ago, when it passed into the hands of Mr. Francis Henry, of Moore’s Flat, who is now opening itup. This property is finely situated and can be worked cheaply, as the right of 80 inches of water with 100 foot pressure, from one of the ditches goes with it, The Republican, a first southerly. extension of the National,has a lar amount of, quartz in sight prospects well, and with ot nearly north and south, dip east anc feet long lower down the » Witha “6) His garden. consists of -abont. two ‘Largest Auction Sales" of COMMISSION STORES “acres ‘of land ‘planted -in-all kindof vegetables, ab tows or growing nicely.
