The report of their proceedings would-make a ‘eolumn-'that" would “investigation”. is not concluded. People of the rural districts are in a feverish state of excitemcnt as to the result, The Bay papers are sought after engerly by every one. Their circulation must rapidly increasé. The latest phase of the.affair'is that Barker has changed roles. From the accused he has tarned accuser and we should judge by the flutter yaade bymemibers of the Boaid and tlie reporters that he has hit some ‘one square in the mouth. We hope Stephen willkeep a stiff upper lip: and tell all he knows because it will prolong the investigstion and keep up the excitement. Meantime if the Board of Supervisorsjwill pay freight, some public benefactor of the mountains may be induced to send them down an equal number of new blocks the city. Programme of Exercises. . .

They afford the members an opportunity of an evening's social intercourse, and are becoming very -popular. The last meeting was decidedly pleasant and all who failed to attend missed a good time. ao > Found. The umbrella supposed to belong to the recently converted Democrat has been found, and forwarded by mail to his place of busines in the valleys, Although the cloth is badly faded. and torn, the handle broken, and the general appearance of it very shabby, it is thought it will still do some service, and may prevent the owner from having further trouble with other claimants.

The superintendent thinks the prdtéss of separating the. contained, is ‘no longer a matter of . experiment. There-are many other . ledges in the vicinity equally as rich . and are awaiting the success of working thi¢ one. They will eventually be worked, and that section, of our county, is destined to become very lively in the future. It will well repay anyone to visit the mine and. see the operations carried. on there. The superintendent is ready to afford all the information in_his power, and is very confident of* the richness of that section. Grass Valley Items from the Foot‘Hill Tidings. ; About a year ago a company from Red Biuff, of which Col. E. J. Lewis we believe is oue, began work on a quartz ledge on Greenhorn creek, between Buena . Vista ranch and Bear River, in this county. They located under the name of the Occident Mining Company, 6,000 feet of ground, traceable by croppings for three-fourths of a wile. They have a shaft down abont 120 feet and -are copper from the ore in which iti . ” The great fouf mile race best two . i Francisco, for a purse of $25,000. .

Tae bark Florence arrived at San Francisco Thursday from the Ochotskg Sea, and. reports that a native, who ‘was taken on board when the bark sailed, killed two of the crew on the voyage, and was then-himself killed by the crew. > Fr. is ‘stated that during the aprecently meeting great encourage. nient in the shape vf a well defined! ledge about three feet thick, bearing gold to the value of $60 and over perton. The Superintendent, Mr. W. Pierce, was in town this week for the purpose of buying a new pump of larger dimensions than the one now used, and from all we can learn the Occident is likely to prove a very valuable mine. The Greenhorn region has never been very thoroughly prospected but it is believed to contain many quartz ges worthy the attention of capitalists, The _ ‘advantages there are manifold; virgifi forests give lumber and fuel at very little cost, water~ power is plentiful and convenient for milling and hoisting purposes, \facilities. for tunveling are great, and the Narrow Gauge R. R. will pass right through the midst of it. When miners, who from lack of water, cannot work their claims all the year, learn to plant a vineyard and an orchard, and cultivate a garden during the spare time,there will be hope for them and the country. An old-time miner told us the otherfday the land about his place was well adapted to cultivation as any in the c ounty, and, if he and those connected with him in mining had ten years ago begun planting out trees.and vines when leisure permitted, they would Lave the fortune so long sought in vain fromthe gold bearing quartz and sands, We hear of several who intend this season to begin the good work of preparing homes; thus becoming independent of the necessity for a fortune to take them where they could purchase a home probably no better than can be made here by labor alone.
