SUNDAY, MARCH 31, 1867.
RoBBERY AND Mtrpver.—On Friday
‘night a party of desperadoes robbed two
‘Chinese cabins about three miles above
‘San Juan, andin one of them murdered
vone of the inmates. The following particulars are furnished us by the driver of the
‘San Juan stage: The party, consisting of
two Spaniards and one American, first
entered a cabin on Missouri Creek, .and
demanded money. On the Chinaman refusing, a rope was placed around his neck
and he was dragged up over the limb of a
tree several times. He then gave the rob~—pérs seventy dollars. From this place the
robbers went to Moonshine Creek, a short
_ distance off, and after tying the inmates,
some seven or eight in number, they went
through the house. One of the Chinamen
made some resistance and the robbers fired .
at him with a pistol. _The shot took effect
“tn the abdomen and the victim died in a
few moments. The robbers got thirteen
dollars in coin and several pairs of blankets at this place. _When our informant
left no trace had been discovered of the
robbers. One of the Chinamen, who speaks
English well, describes the American as
being very tall, and the Spaniards as being
of medium size.
CLostna ExercisEs.—The term of the
Forést Springs Public School closed on
Friday Jast with an examination, pic-nic
and exhibition. This school has been for
three years under charge of B. J. Watson,
assisted by his wife, during which time
it has made rapid progress. The teachers ended their connection with the school
on Friday and leave on Monday for a visit
to the East. The school loses an excellent
~~.. teacher in Mr..Watson, and the county
“One who has done much for the advancement “of. educational interests. The
exercises of Friday consisted of an exami~
nation, mus.c by thepupils of Mrs. Watson, and Qoclamatlons. "iG large number of guests present partook ‘Of-an_excel~ lent repast prepared by the leaders of the
District, and in the evening the school gave
a first rate dramatic entertainment, concluding with a dance that lasted until
morning. Mr. Broadbent succeeds as
teacher of the school.

Woodruff Mining Comany is incorporated
under the laws of Pennsylvatia and has
its pfincipal office in Philadelphia. The
Jands of the company are located in Yuba
‘county at Johnson’s Ranch. The Cakfornian has received a prospectus of the com“pany, in which are letters in testimony. of
the value of the property from several parties of this county. We know nothing of
the minés*or their value, but judge from
the prospectus they are “some,” Theifirst
part of the prospectus contains-a map of
California. Johnson’s Ranch is marked
as a large square, while the principal cities
are only indicated by.a dot. The railroad
from Folsom to Marysville, according to
the map, runs within a short distancé of
Johnson’s Ranch. A subdivision, of. the
map contains a beautiful. plat of the
“Lands of the Woodruff Mining Company,
containing 2,807 82-100 acres.” Bear riyer is represented large.enough to float the
Great Eastern, while a number of squares
indicate the. supposed locations of hotels,
houses, etc. Thgtitle page says: “Prospectus of the Woodruff Mining Company
of Yuba county, California, Incorporated
by a Special Charter-from the State of
Perinsylvania. The Officers of this Com-'
pany are to be elected by the Stockhol
ders. Capital Stock, $250,000, with power to raise it to $1,000,000—25,000 shares
at $10 each, fully paid, working capital
$100,000. Principal office, 226 Walnut
street, Philadelphia.” .The next page
says: “The books are now open for subscription to the stock of the Company, at
326. Walnut. street. Apply to R. L. M.;
Camden, Treasurer pro tem., or J?C, Mulligan. Subseription can’ also be made to
H.P. Lloyd, 218 Church street, A. D. Caldwell, 182 South Third street. All ordérs
for_stock by mail or express will be
promptly attended to.” The prospectus
says of the location, ete; “The property
is located on Bear river, in Yuba county,
California, fourteen miles southeast— of
Marysville, thirty-three miles north — of
Sacramento City, the capital of the State,
twenty miles southwest of Grass Valley,
in close proximity to various mining towns
and districts; the Railroad frofm Lincoln
to Marysville passes within two, and the
Great Pacific Railroad within eight miles
of the land.” The balance of the location
gives the cheapness of freight, etc., to the
mine, Che description says: “The réal
estate consists.of two thousand eight hundred and seven atres of land, (the exact
number of acres accordiig.to the report of
the United States Deputy “Surveyor is
2,807 82-100) being a portiqn of Johiteon’s
Ranch, a property well kndiwn in California. About 2,000 of the 2,807 acres contain gold and copper; of the -balance,
about 300 acres are rich bottom, and the
rest the first quality of grazing land.”—
Speaking of the placer diggings, it says:
“These diggings, 89 far as ‘prospectéd,’
yielded from two to ten dollars per day
to each miner, and that the quartz ledges
or lodes are of the same character as
those in the Round Tent mining district.
‘Two copper leads run through the property, and there is sufficient timber and wood.
Ranch Hotel, stable, and three small dwellings. These buildings are large enough
for all the present wants of the company.
The canal or ditch belonging to the above
property was built at an expense of $56,
000, and conveys water from Wolf Creek.
Present capacity of the éanal about one
thousand inches.” The balanee of the
prospectus describes minutely the “proposed mode of operations,” which are,as soon
as the canal is in order, to commence
working the placer diggings by the means
of selling licenses to Chinamen. It. is intended to license at least one thousand
Chinamen as soon as possible, ete. Long
letters in “testimony relative to the value
of the Woodruff Mining Company's property,” from parties who sign themselves,
“Yours very respectfully James D, White,
Charles L. DeForest, F. R. Wilson, J. L.
McDonald, 8. J. Lewis, F.C. Tilton, Moses
Hatch,Wm. M. Finny, W. II. Gilliland,
James $. Keathley, J.-C. Woed, AWilliamson Graham, and A, Bicknell,” and long
extracts from California papers about the
rich quartz mines of .Grasa Valley and
Washoe, make up the balance of the book.
