LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.
CHINAMEN ~ 1y_ Luck.—The Chinese
miners are very numerous throughout the
"State, and seem to be inspired with the
samespirit of energy as the “Melican
‘man,” but are satisfied with much smaller
wages. In the new mining dtstricts, the
American “hardly strikes a pick before
_ “John” is on hand with his pan and rocker, ready’ to work ‘or steal, as circiimstances require. In the older loéalities,.every
deserted miners’ camp,every ravine which
the American considers worked out, and
every abandoned claim is taken “possession
of by Chinamen, who, notwithstanding
the “kicks and cuffs” they receive, keep
closely behind the white man, seldom prospecting unopened ground, but following
in the wake of the Yankee discoverer, and
willing to take what he leaves behind or .
unguarded in his sluices. These Chinamen frequently make rich strikes, but
they seldom are »made known, and the
money is carried out of the country without being of much benefit to it. ‘The Chinaman isa rogue by nature—smuggling,
stealing, and swindling are occupations
in which he shows greater ingenuity than
his American brothers are capable ‘of. He
‘is seldom detected. A people satisfied with
small gains,and always ready for anything
that may turn up, are bound to succeed
anywhere. A case recently occurred
where Chinamen made an extraordinary
haul. A Chinese company have been
working over the bed rock in a. set of
claims at Relief Hill, in this county. Last
week they found a boulder weighing fortyfive pounds, from which they took thirtyfour pounds of pure gold. This haul netted them the neat little sum of $6,936, af
the gold was sold for seventeen dollars per .
ounce,
MINING AT FALL CREEK.—A consider
able amount of prospecting is being done
on Fall Creek at present. ‘Ihe miners are
running tunnels fur two different gravel
channels which are known to cress that
region. Oncof them has been opened and
is known to be exceedingly rich. The other has never yet been tapped, but the miners are very confident that they will
find good pay when it is reached. Maguire & King have exceedingly rich claims
in the hill. The Wolverine Company run
in a tunnel, last Spring, one hundred and
fifty feet, but ‘they got so high up bn the
channel that they could not work for water. They are now running a deeper tunnel, two hundred feet, and they think fifty
feet will take them to the channel, from
the point where they are now working.—
Dillon & Co, are in with their tunnel two
hundred and sixty feet, and expect to tap
Many other companies
are prospecting, sinking shafts or running
tunnels, and all the miners predict that
‘the Fall Creek mines will be yielding largely before Winter.
New Bui.prnes.—During the past
month several new stores have been erected on Broad street. The building intended
for the saddle and harness establishment:
of W.G. Jenkins is nearly completed and
will doon be occupied. J. E. Johnston,
furniture dealer, has torn down the old
frame adjoining his store, and will erect a
fine store-room in its stead. A number of
other improvements are being made.—
Some six or eight buildings for private
residences are also going up in this city. —
E. W. Bigelow is building a fine house on
the lot opposite the residence of J. N. Turner. E. F. Spence is also putting up a
fine house, and a number of smaller
ones are being built to rent. The
Aponte of increased prosperity are seen
on every hand throughout the entire
town,
THE CALIFORNIA Mixe.—The Eagle
Mining Company, of which Mr. Pattee is
agent, have their magnificent 110 horsepower engine all ready, and will soon get
theirpump jn operation. These works
are being erected upon the California mine.
Three shifts a day are kept at work and an
