The following extracts embracing some particulars of the character of the Japanese will be found interesting. 7% A letter-writer says: “It is nota little curious that so much ignorance has existed in regard to Japan. The question has often been asked whata fleet could accomplish towards bringing to terms a people numbering some fifty millions. The answer is that Japan is entirely at the mercy ofa maratime nation—Ist, because the people of that country are now subsisting on a minimum, and depend for this suisistence upon their coast trade, which is im mense, and & destruction or interruption of ‘his coast trade brings famine and desolation throughout the land; 2d, an immense number of the population reside on the seashore, in villages and cities. I need only mention Nangasaki, Matsmar, Ozaca and Jeddo ; the latter of which, if not the largest city in the world, probably coutains more inhabitants than any other. In view of these facts, no doubt, the Japanese have been brought to treat. Now that the truth on this score has been tested, there is no knowing to what extent the concessions will be made and granted. The Japanese are intimidated. They had the air of people who had for a long while anticipated a hostile visit, and had wearied in watching for it. The very lergth of time which the expedition has / threatened them, has been in favor of its success. One of the first ports offered is stated to be some seventy miles south of Jeddo. The vessels sent to survey that port found it to be a good one, but the bar at its mouth was too shallow to permit its s é é Now that water cannot be had to work . emg accepted. Commodore Perry refusthe placers on the higher ground, the river and creek diggings are becoming available. ed to have anything to do with Nangasaki. Time-honored restrictions and contempt for foreigners are so identified with that One day the past week we took a stroll . harbor and town, that it was judged inexdown Deer Creek as far as the mouth of} pedient to make it even a depot for coals. Wood’s ravine. We found some eight or ten companies at work below Nevada.— . One or two of them have not yet succeeded in fairly opening their claims, but will no doubt, come out “right side up,” in a It was thought better to commence at some port where foreigners were not known.— The Japanese disclaimed all sovereignty over the Loo Choo Islands, and therefore our apparent occupancy of a foothold there was not considered in the treaty. Commodore Perry is to stipulate for Mining Laws, . 4 Atameeting held by the miners of Little Deer Creek on Saturday, Aug. 5th, 1954, the following laws were adopted : Art. 1. This district shall be known by the name of Little Deer Creek mining district, . bounded as fo!lows: On the north and west by Big Deer Creek, on the south by Gold district, . and on the east by Donkeyville district. Art. 2. Each miner in this district may hold 1 sluice and 1 Cayote claim by location and as many more as he has or may hereafter purchase, provided he has a bona fide bill of sale. Art. 3. All sluice claims shall be one hundred feet up and down the creek, from bank to bank, and all Cayote claims sixty feet square. Art. 4. No person or persous title shall hold good on mining claims in the dis*rict unless the following rules are complied with. First, if the said claim or claims held by any persons can be worked to advantage, the owner shall do one full days work in every ten days upon thesame. Secondly, if the claims of any person or persons cannot be worked to advantage on account of draining or any other cause, the person or persons owning the said claims may take a stay upon them in tne following manner, viz : He shall furnish the recorder of the district with a description of the said mining lot, and where the same are located, and the reason of wishing to take astay upon them; the recorder shall record the same in a book to be kept by him for that purpose, and give to the owner or owners of the said lot, a certificate of the same with the length of time for which the stay has been taken, which said stay shall in no case be granted for more than three months at one time. The same may be renewed at the expiration of the time for which the stay was take: ; that is,if the imp: ati a ility of work'ng the sume shall still exist. ‘Ihe person or persons taking & stay for mining lots shall pay to the recorder the sum of fifty cents for each claim by him recorded and a certificate of stay. For each renewal of said stay he or they shall pay the sum of one dollar to the recorder. Art.5 Work done upon one lot, where lots adjoin each other, or upon drain, ditches, or other necessary labor. for the purpose of work. . ing*claims, shall be the same as working on all . the claims held by any person or persons. Art.6. There shall be a recorder elected by . the miners of the said district, whose term of. office shall be one year from date of his election. His duty shall be to record claims and give . certificates of the same that are presented to him for the purpose of taking a stay upon them. Art. 7. All water running in its natural channel belongs to the miners on said channel ; each . miner having aright touse the same on his of Lieut Beckwith struck off to the northward to the Sierra Nevada. No less than five different passes were examined in this range with direct reference to their feasibility for the line of the Pacific Railroad. All of these lie to the northward of Noble’s Pass, except the latter, which is included in the number of those examined. After careful surveys, ail of the above routes are pronounced to be impracticable, with the exception of Nuble’s Pass, and the one fir-t north of it. Of the superiority of these two, Lieut. Beckwith is as yet unprepared to express any opinion, but he unhesitatingly declares that none of the passes except Noble’s and that adjoining, are or ean be adapted to the passage of a railroad. [1 his report to be submitted to the Se retary of War, immediately after his arrival at Washington, accurate details of the surveys of these various passes, together with all the particulars connected with the topography and geography of the country ex~ amined will be furnished. The greatest difficulties of the contemplated route for a railroad are to be encountered in the “foot hills” of the Sierra Nevada, that but for these there would scarcely be any seri.us impediments to the construction of the road. Lieut. Beckwith returns on the 16th inst. to Washington, with his assistants. A Cave with Two Ends.

The next Company we visited, we found our friend Turner of Woods’ ravine into it with commendable zeal. This company, Jast year, took out several thousand dollars, and thus far the prospect is they will do equally well—perhaps better. ‘Chey are making some $20 to $30 per day to the hand. Success attend them. From here down to the mouth of Woods’ ravine, they are making preparations for work, rather than working. Some of them, however, have got into their claims, and all report good prospects. . At the mouth of the Ravine, we found the most extensive preparations for working the flat located there. One company, working on the north side of the flat, were making good wages. We were not able so learn any particulars of the success of some of the companies here.

The following extracts embracing some particulars of the character of the Japanese will be found interesting. 7% A letter-writer says: “It is nota little curious that so much ignorance has existed in regard to Japan. The question has often been asked whata fleet could accomplish towards bringing to terms a people numbering some fifty millions. The answer is that Japan is entirely at the mercy ofa maratime nation—Ist, because the people of that country are now subsisting on a minimum, and depend for this suisistence upon their coast trade, which is im mense, and & destruction or interruption of ‘his coast trade brings famine and desolation throughout the land; 2d, an immense number of the population reside on the seashore, in villages and cities. I need only mention Nangasaki, Matsmar, Ozaca and Jeddo ; the latter of which, if not the largest city in the world, probably coutains more inhabitants than any other. In view of these facts, no doubt, the Japanese have been brought to treat. Now that the truth on this score has been tested, there is no knowing to what extent the concessions will be made and granted. The Japanese are intimidated. They had the air of people who had for a long while anticipated a hostile visit, and had wearied in watching for it. The very lergth of time which the expedition has / threatened them, has been in favor of its success. One of the first ports offered is stated to be some seventy miles south of Jeddo. The vessels sent to survey that port found it to be a good one, but the bar at its mouth was too shallow to permit its s é é Now that water cannot be had to work . emg accepted. Commodore Perry refusthe placers on the higher ground, the river and creek diggings are becoming available. ed to have anything to do with Nangasaki. Time-honored restrictions and contempt for foreigners are so identified with that One day the past week we took a stroll . harbor and town, that it was judged inexdown Deer Creek as far as the mouth of} pedient to make it even a depot for coals. Wood’s ravine. We found some eight or ten companies at work below Nevada.— . One or two of them have not yet succeeded in fairly opening their claims, but will no doubt, come out “right side up,” in a It was thought better to commence at some port where foreigners were not known.— The Japanese disclaimed all sovereignty over the Loo Choo Islands, and therefore our apparent occupancy of a foothold there was not considered in the treaty. Commodore Perry is to stipulate for Mining Laws, . 4 Atameeting held by the miners of Little Deer Creek on Saturday, Aug. 5th, 1954, the following laws were adopted : Art. 1. This district shall be known by the name of Little Deer Creek mining district, . bounded as fo!lows: On the north and west by Big Deer Creek, on the south by Gold district, . and on the east by Donkeyville district. Art. 2. Each miner in this district may hold 1 sluice and 1 Cayote claim by location and as many more as he has or may hereafter purchase, provided he has a bona fide bill of sale. Art. 3. All sluice claims shall be one hundred feet up and down the creek, from bank to bank, and all Cayote claims sixty feet square. Art. 4. No person or persous title shall hold good on mining claims in the dis*rict unless the following rules are complied with. First, if the said claim or claims held by any persons can be worked to advantage, the owner shall do one full days work in every ten days upon thesame. Secondly, if the claims of any person or persons cannot be worked to advantage on account of draining or any other cause, the person or persons owning the said claims may take a stay upon them in tne following manner, viz : He shall furnish the recorder of the district with a description of the said mining lot, and where the same are located, and the reason of wishing to take astay upon them; the recorder shall record the same in a book to be kept by him for that purpose, and give to the owner or owners of the said lot, a certificate of the same with the length of time for which the stay has been taken, which said stay shall in no case be granted for more than three months at one time. The same may be renewed at the expiration of the time for which the stay was take: ; that is,if the imp: ati a ility of work'ng the sume shall still exist. ‘Ihe person or persons taking & stay for mining lots shall pay to the recorder the sum of fifty cents for each claim by him recorded and a certificate of stay. For each renewal of said stay he or they shall pay the sum of one dollar to the recorder. Art.5 Work done upon one lot, where lots adjoin each other, or upon drain, ditches, or other necessary labor. for the purpose of work. . ing*claims, shall be the same as working on all . the claims held by any person or persons. Art.6. There shall be a recorder elected by . the miners of the said district, whose term of. office shall be one year from date of his election. His duty shall be to record claims and give . certificates of the same that are presented to him for the purpose of taking a stay upon them. Art. 7. All water running in its natural channel belongs to the miners on said channel ; each . miner having aright touse the same on his of Lieut Beckwith struck off to the northward to the Sierra Nevada. No less than five different passes were examined in this range with direct reference to their feasibility for the line of the Pacific Railroad. All of these lie to the northward of Noble’s Pass, except the latter, which is included in the number of those examined. After careful surveys, ail of the above routes are pronounced to be impracticable, with the exception of Nuble’s Pass, and the one fir-t north of it. Of the superiority of these two, Lieut. Beckwith is as yet unprepared to express any opinion, but he unhesitatingly declares that none of the passes except Noble’s and that adjoining, are or ean be adapted to the passage of a railroad. [1 his report to be submitted to the Se retary of War, immediately after his arrival at Washington, accurate details of the surveys of these various passes, together with all the particulars connected with the topography and geography of the country ex~ amined will be furnished. The greatest difficulties of the contemplated route for a railroad are to be encountered in the “foot hills” of the Sierra Nevada, that but for these there would scarcely be any seri.us impediments to the construction of the road. Lieut. Beckwith returns on the 16th inst. to Washington, with his assistants. A Cave with Two Ends.
