SATURDAY,..SEPTEMBER 1, 1860. ee ee ‘TimBcctoo.—The recent gold returns from the Timbuctoo mining region, have astonished everybody. They have truly been enormous. The town is also prosperous in other particulars. It evinces this in the stirring and industrious character of its population—their intelligence, good taste and proverbial hospitality. Their principal hotel, kept by Mayon & Moore, is, beyyond all question, one of the finest in the State; not in the fare alone, but in those many other comforts and polite attentions on the part of the proprietors, which serve to make the guest’s sojourn agreeable. In the dry goods and provision line, there are the separate extensive establishments of A. Block & Co., McAllis & Gordon and Stewart & Co. J. M. Julien goes largely into the manufacture of flume-pipe, tin and copperware. R. i. Thayer supplies the town abunantly with lumber, and has left the traces of his superior workmanship as a carpenter, on many of its buildings. Congdon & Co. keep an extensive livery stable, well stocked with traveling vehicles and spirited animals. They have also a meat market, capable of answering all the numerous demands made upon it by a carniverous public. And in the way of saloons, the “Club House,” of Dunbar & Co.; the “Union,” by Boynton & Simons, and the Theater billiard rooms of Dettmer & Davis, are among the choicest. Huffman entertains one with a first-rate Havana cigar. For the pleasant sojourn of a few days in a mining town, and among a mining people, we know of no place where we could more conscientiously recommend a person to go, than Timbuctoo. * THE MaimED.—Each of the mountain towns furnishes its full quota of maimed and lacerated miners, who have suffered from accident in the diggings ; but perhaps Timbuctoo and its neighborhood can claim preéminence in this respect. Recently the number of her injured population has been very large. Broken arms, cracked heads, crushed hands and fractured bones of other portions of the body, have been painfully frequent. It is worthy of observation, however, as an eloquent argument in favor of the elimate of California, that in nearly all cases where the injury sustained by the vital organs has not been serious, no matter how badly the other members have been crushed, bruised or broken, with proper surgical treatment, the patients are almost certain torecover. Happily for the region named, a physician is found in the person of Dr. James Simpson, of Timbuctoo, whose success, in the management of an extensive practice, has been surprising. Although quite a young man in years, he will soon, if he does not already, rank foremost among the very best surgeons in the State, * Over A Precirice.—On Monday last, while aseending Wood's Hill, a heavily-loaded eight mule team, belonging to John Adams, of Sacramento, and driven by his brother, was precipitated over the bank, at a point opposite the place where the water from the French Corral flume pitches into the ravine, under the following circumstances: Mr. Adams was driving up the hill, and was about to pass a team going down. He “ge’ed off” for that purpose, and in doing so, was obliged to cross an embankment erected with logs and stones, which gave way. The wagon upset over the bank, bounding some twenty feet down the hill, but fortunately lodging against a bush, on a kind of earthy platform. Neither the driver nor the animals were injured, and not more than fifty dollars’ worth of damage done to the goods and wagon. Had the team rolled over and gone to the bottom—an almost perpendicular distance of three hundred feet—the smash-up would have been terrible. AcciDENT AT WotsEy’s Frat.—A _ correspondent at Wolscy’s, sends us the following: Aleck Elliott, employed in W. H. Lawrence’s claims, was engaged Saturday last in hoisting the derrick, (which had fallen,) by means of small tackle attached to the guy. A pin driven in the bed-rock, to which the tackle was fastened, pulled out, letting the derrick down, and the guy caught Elliott’s leg against a boulder, breaking both bones off just above the ancle joint. Dr. Hardy was in immediate attendance, set the bones, and the man is doing very well. Zora a aaa Oa Sia SeR1Iovs DovsieE AccipENT.—On Friday, 4th August, Thomas O’Neil and — Shraum were seriously injured by the premature explosion of a blast while working in a ditch running from Wolf’s to Mooney Flat. O’Neil was very much burned, and Shraum had his hand dreadfully shattered. Dr. James Simpson, of Timbuctoo, was called upon to treat the cases, and his patients are reported to be rapidly recovering from their injuries, 7 By BEERS Cee kee CaveD Upron.—Hubert Ward was severely injured by a cave in the Dead Rabbit Diggings,. at Sucker Flat, on the 25th ult. He sustained a. compound comminuted fracture of the left leg, and had his right hand so badly crushed, that the amputation of one of the fingers became necessary. The operation was performed by Dr. Simpson, of Timbuctoo. —__—_———-—-+& Hep. Hra.—The Plumas Standard hopes its patrons will “not argue, that because it has thus far got along without money, it can always do so.” Such a presumption, Mr. Standard, is by no means “violent” among newspaper men. There is this consolation, however, which goes with it : If debtors can’t pay you—you won’t pay your creditors! and bad asthe morality may be, the logic is excellent. THREE SPLINTERS.—Several rails split by old: Abe Lincoln, it is said have arrived in the State, and that the apportionment to the Republicans of. North San Juan, will be three splinters, consignede an ardent and talented young politici.n now temporarily absent from the town. ee an interesting letter from acorrespondent at Moore’s Flat—the first 8f a series which we are promised from the same source. State of the Roads. Great complaint is made by teamsters, stage drivers, travelers and residents along certain parts of the’ road between North San Juan and Timbuctoo, because of the shameful neglect of several of the road Overscers to discharge their duties as the law requires, and the wants of the people demard. There are two praise-worthy exceptions, and two only. These occur in the districts of Judge Stidger and Mr. David Wood. Both of these gentlemen have exhibited a commendable pride in keeping the roads within their respective jurisdictions in an almost.perfect state of repair; and some of the drivers say they could tell with their eyes blinded, when their teams have crossed the boundary lines, and got into their dominions. The roads of the Sweetland district, fhe French Corral district, and the Timbuctoo distriet, are sadly dilapidated. ‘[he Overseers, it ‘seems, have done little or no work onthem lately. In some places the culverts or ditch bridges are un-. safe to cross. In others, large pools of water have flooded the roads, causing miry spots, into which heavily loaded wagons sink almost hubdeep ; and in others still there are loose boulders, deep chuck-holes, sidling places and abrupt pitches, all of which are destructive of wagons, -and perilous to human and brute safety. We hope—and every one along the road hopes -—-to see an immediate remedy in these districts. Ifthe Overseers are unwilling, or feel themselves incompetent to discharge the duties assigned them, they had better resign and allow efficient men to be appointed in their places. SS ee lag Oe eats McCue’s Opposition Line. In a week or two the peach season will be over, when, Jim McCue informs us, it is his intention to go into the Opposition Stage business with more spirit and determination than ever. There is no denying that itis both to the directand indirect advantage of our town to sustain him.— There is plenty of travel for both lines if fairly divided, as is rendered apparent from the fact that the coaches of the Combination Company frequently go out jammed full inside, and with twelve and fourteen passengers on top. There can be no safety to human life over these mountains with any such load; and the only wonder is that people are so reckless of safety as to take the risks. McCue’s enterprise is backed by another and better argument. He keeps down the prices of fare. Before he came on, six dollars were demanded as the price of a passage to Marysville. Now, by his line, the traveler pays but three.— Fare is worth that between San Juan and Marysville and no more. To be sure, the Combination carries for one dollar, but should Jim pull off, up again it would goto six. Every one will see, then—particularly every permanent resident of the town, that McCue should be liberally patronized, ‘Opposition is the life of trade,” and so long as there is an open field, the enterprising have a right to enter it with their capital, and succeed in whatever business they may choose to adopt, if they can. Tux Ricut Pray.—The Sacramento News gives a larger summary from the interior papers than any other of the centrally located dailies. This will prove, eventually, a great element of its popularity. Of late years this matter has been too much neglected at Sacramento. Ifthe true greatness of California is to be published abroad, information must be collated and centralized,—as may easily be done by a paper published at the capital of the State. The Union gained one-half its circulation by pursuing this course. Its great ambition now, appears to be, to give the news from the other direction—that is, the Atlantic States. There are therefore, two distinct fields of operation. Both abound in material, and both should be properly harvested. pea ee Timpucroo THEATER.—At no place in the mountains have they a more stylish or comfortable little Theater than at Timbuctoo. It was built by Thayer & Peters of that place, and is owned by Dittmer & Davis, who keep an excellent saloon in the basement. Its dimensions are, 36x76 feet, and it is capable of seating 400 persons. The scenery, of which there is a considerable variety, is new and gaudy, from the pencil of A. H, Hyers, artist. Timbuctoo is not near so populous a town as North San Juan, and yet, in this particular, it is far ahead of us. We want a better Theater here, and hope some of our capitalists may be stimulated to build it. I on De ASU ERNE) Care Ses a MARVSVILLE Farr,—Mr. J. A. Seeley, who has just returned from Marysville, informs us, that the preparations being made for the Fair, which is to open on Monday, are on a scale of magnificence beyond his utmost anticipations. The interior of the Pavilion will look gorgeous, and the stock-grounds, about a half-mile from the city, are extensive, and have been fitted up in a style of convenience and comfort. which cannot fail to give satisfaction to exhibitors. Upwards of fifty stock entries were made on Wednesday, and this feature of the event, it is expected, will prove more than ordinarily attractive. A Matter or Prrpe.—The firemen of Timbuctoo, whose apparatus, we believe, consists only of a thousand fect of hose, on a stylish carriage, take as much pride in the institution as if it were composed of a dozen “merchines.” Jack Clark is the Chief Engineer, and a “brick.” They don’t mold ’em any better. If we hada little more of the fireman’s ambition and spirit in North San Juan, the assurances of safety from conflagration would be much greater. lee An INGENIOUS CONTRIVANCE.—At the Keystone Ranch, Marysville road, on top of the hill beyond the works of the Deer Creek Funnel Company, Mr. David Brown has erected a windlass with an ingenious wire, or kind of telegraphic attachment, by means of which he sends a bucket down the hill, with great rapidity, a distance of three hundred yards, to a spring, and brings it back filled with water. Ten THOUSAND DoLttar DiGG1ncs.—Robert Kelly, of Timbuctoo, as we are informed, cleaned up. Wednesday, from diggings known as the Ranch Claims, 510 94-100 ozs. o valued at over $10,000,—Marysville (And Mr. Kelly subscribed for the Hydraulic Press the other day.

SSE Se nn ee I ED Birchville Correspondence. BIRcHVIILLE, Aug. 29, 1860. Messrs. Epitors:—The casual observer, NEW TH IS WEE kK. A ad Dissolution of Co-partnership. pasting through:many of owr mining towns, sees ‘ue firm of J. W. Guthrie & Co, is this day but. little of the resources from whence they derive their support; the cosy little cottages are noted, dotted here and there with their well-cultivated gardens. The mechanic may be heard at his work, but the great mass, during working hours are invisible to the passer-by. It is here as elsewhere. Let us look over the hills for a few moments and see what is going on here at present. First, . we come to the claims of DeMoulin & Pack, who have been working them with an industrious perseverance for the past six years. They are now washing the surface, and running a short tunnel to reach the rich bottom lying underneath. If they have not as yet enriched themselves, they have added no inconsiderable sum ‘to the circulating ‘medium of the world. Next we find Messrs. Everett, Quinn and Lahey busy at work wearing away the top o— with their usual gue returns. Having lately added “Dunning’s mproved Undercurrent” to their facilities for saving fine gold, a marked improvement is confidently expected. Aces these are the claims of Fogarty, Powell and Cadwallader, and the Winham Brothers; the former have already taken from the top gravel over $50,000, and it is by no means exhausted. The claims of the latter cover an immense piece of fine mining ground, and will soon be in working order again. ge a ee all the above-mentioned claims, to the depth of from forty to sixty feet, the rich gravel yet remains, and whenever prospected, from fifteen to twenty feet has been found to average ten cents to the pan.To work this rich deposit to an advantage, two tunnels are now being driven day and night through the hard granite rock which surrounds the rim. When completed you will hear of enormous dividends from these “Safety Fund Banks.” On the hill opposite are the well-known “Roeky Diggings,” now owned by Pat Fogarty and Den Maher. These claims were among the first worked in early days and paid well. Though not as extensive as some others, they still maintain their reputation of being among the most rofitable. Ina short time, O’Meara & Co., will ave their tunnel completed to work the rich claims adjoining. Below ail these claims is the extensive “ Tail Flume” of N. Cadwallader extending down to the river, near where a number of Celestials aay be found prying about amongst the big rocks. Mr. Cadwallader has upon several occasions found his sluices had been tampered with. He made the discovery of one of these midnight prospectors lying in the bottom of his sluices two or three years ago. He may be fortunate enough to find another some fine morning. Near the lower end of the hill are two extensive water-wheels for working incline tunnels on the ground of Messrs. Bell & Whitby and M. Cassin. Rich gravel has been struck on the bed rock, but as this is mostly a new enterprise in ~ section, more can be said about them hereafter. : On Buckeye Hill, below the celebrated claims of Evans & Mull, Geo. Stevens & Co. have commenced washing through their tunnel, having at last completed it at a heavy expense. An opening is hardly as yet perceptible, but they are confident, from present prospects, of its paying well. Opposite here, under a_ beautiful te of trees, may be found Mr. T. G. Whitby, living almost in the primitive — of early Cal. ifornians, busily engaged in building himself a fine residence. Numerous other enterprizes might with equal propriety be mentioned, but would occupy too much of your space at present. Ae Yen T Ie) Virginia City Correspondence. VireGinia City, Aug. 28th, 1860. Eptrors HypRravutic Press.—Our town, on last Friday night, was thrown into a state of exciteméht by a shooting affair which took place at the residence of Mr. Eder, and resulted in the death of one man and the wounding of three others, one of whom was a lady, the wife of Mr. Eder. The facts of the case are as follows: Some time ago Eder rented a house to a family named Devins. When the rent became due, he demanded it. Devins said he was unable to pay. The rent was afterwards repeatedly called for, but not paid. Finally Eder ordered the family to vacate the premises, which they refused to do. Yesterday afternoon, Eder and another person armed themselves, and proceeding to the house, threatened forcibly to eject the occupants. A ditficulty ensued, which was likely to be settled by the use of deadly weapons. However, the entreaties of Devin’s wife prevented it, and Eder and his companion left the spot. After dark, Devins and five others, went, in a spirit of retaliation, to Eder’s house, and made an assault upon his family. At the time, there were in the house Mr. Eder, his lady and child, and a man whose name I have not learned. The parties commenced firing, and some twelve shots in all were exchanged. Eder was wounded in the leg. His lady received a severe wound in her thigh, breaking the bone. The man stopping in the family, was shot in the arm, and had the bone fractured. One of the assaulting party was mortally wounded, the bullet entering his forehead and lodging in the brain. His name was Hughes. He died this morning. Immediately after the fray, the other five assailants left, and have not since been heard from. Efforts are being made for their arrest. Had they bcen = t last night, the probabilities are, that the would now be enjoying the society of their ruffianly companion, in a world not quite so bright and beautiful as this. The formation of a vigilance committee has been much talked of; but the movement encounters too much opposition to be successful. ([7WE should be pleased to hear often from our Virginia City correspendent. oe Sweetland Correspondence. — SWEETLAND, Aug 31st, 1860. Messrs. Epitors:—The event of the week transpired in our dull vill last night. Our big Sis, up the Ridge, sent a delegation of “Union Savers” down to teach our citizens their political duty; and the way they used up certain political opponents, Was somewhat after the style of the latest improvement in sausage machines! However, little Sis is under many obligations to her larger but younger sister, up the Ridge. Beside, we are quite a patriotic people; and that wagon load of music which accompanied the spouters, made many of the boys talk of old times—the Mexican war, Indian fights, and the more recent Washoe troubles. I do not choose to discriminate, or criticise the speakers, as I heard but the first. I eannot, however, avoid saying for Ju C., that he is a forcible and fair expounder of the Republican faith ; perhaps too candid to rise in his party. I must not omit to mention the fact, that our town had some say in the meeting; for I learned that at least one of the ‘‘oldest inhabitants” here made a creditable effort in the way of aspeech; and, beside, we had half the officers of the mecting. The fact is, this is now ‘ded as a rising town, and big Sis had better look to her laurels. DicernGs.—Things go on as usual among the miners. Some are washing, others ing tunnels, cutting through hard cement, and preparing for a winter campai inst poverty; and know you and all good folks wish the miner a big victory in this fight.

SATURDAY,....SEPTEMBER 1, 1860. ee ee ‘TimBcctoo.—The recent gold returns from the Timbuctoo mining region, have astonished everybody. They have truly been enormous. The town is also prosperous in other particulars. It evinces this in the stirring and industrious character of its population—their intelligence, good taste and proverbial hospitality. Their principal hotel, kept by Mayon & Moore, is, beyyond all question, one of the finest in the State; not in the fare alone, but in those many other comforts and polite attentions on the part of the proprietors, which serve to make the guest’s sojourn agreeable. In the dry goods and provision line, there are the separate extensive establishments of A. Block & Co., McAllis & Gordon and Stewart & Co. J. M. Julien goes largely into the manufacture of flume-pipe, tin and copperware. R. i. Thayer supplies the town abunantly with lumber, and has left the traces of his superior workmanship as a carpenter, on many of its buildings. Congdon & Co. keep an extensive livery stable, well stocked with traveling vehicles and spirited animals. They have also a meat market, capable of answering all the numerous demands made upon it by a carniverous public. And in the way of saloons, the “Club House,” of Dunbar & Co.; the “Union,” by Boynton & Simons, and the Theater billiard rooms of Dettmer & Davis, are among the choicest. Huffman entertains one with a first-rate Havana cigar. For the pleasant sojourn of a few days in a mining town, and among a mining people, we know of no place where we could more conscientiously recommend a person to go, than Timbuctoo. * THE MaimED.—Each of the mountain towns furnishes its full quota of maimed and lacerated miners, who have suffered from accident in the diggings ; but perhaps Timbuctoo and its neighborhood can claim preéminence in this respect. Recently the number of her injured population has been very large. Broken arms, cracked heads, crushed hands and fractured bones of other portions of the body, have been painfully frequent. It is worthy of observation, however, as an eloquent argument in favor of the elimate of California, that in nearly all cases where the injury sustained by the vital organs has not been serious, no matter how badly the other members have been crushed, bruised or broken, with proper surgical treatment, the patients are almost certain torecover. Happily for the region named, a physician is found in the person of Dr. James Simpson, of Timbuctoo, whose success, in the management of an extensive practice, has been surprising. Although quite a young man in years, he will soon, if he does not already, rank foremost among the very best surgeons in the State, * Over A Precirice.—On Monday last, while aseending Wood's Hill, a heavily-loaded eight mule team, belonging to John Adams, of Sacramento, and driven by his brother, was precipitated over the bank, at a point opposite the place where the water from the French Corral flume pitches into the ravine, under the following circumstances: Mr. Adams was driving up the hill, and was about to pass a team going down. He “ge’ed off” for that purpose, and in doing so, was obliged to cross an embankment erected with logs and stones, which gave way. The wagon upset over the bank, bounding some twenty feet down the hill, but fortunately lodging against a bush, on a kind of earthy platform. Neither the driver nor the animals were injured, and not more than fifty dollars’ worth of damage done to the goods and wagon. Had the team rolled over and gone to the bottom—an almost perpendicular distance of three hundred feet—the smash-up would have been terrible. AcciDENT AT WotsEy’s Frat.—A _ correspondent at Wolscy’s, sends us the following: Aleck Elliott, employed in W. H. Lawrence’s claims, was engaged Saturday last in hoisting the derrick, (which had fallen,) by means of small tackle attached to the guy. A pin driven in the bed-rock, to which the tackle was fastened, pulled out, letting the derrick down, and the guy caught Elliott’s leg against a boulder, breaking both bones off just above the ancle joint. Dr. Hardy was in immediate attendance, set the bones, and the man is doing very well. Zora a aaa Oa Sia SeR1Iovs DovsieE AccipENT.—On Friday, 4th August, Thomas O’Neil and — Shraum were seriously injured by the premature explosion of a blast while working in a ditch running from Wolf’s to Mooney Flat. O’Neil was very much burned, and Shraum had his hand dreadfully shattered. Dr. James Simpson, of Timbuctoo, was called upon to treat the cases, and his patients are reported to be rapidly recovering from their injuries, 7 By BEERS Cee kee CaveD Upron.—Hubert Ward was severely injured by a cave in the Dead Rabbit Diggings,. at Sucker Flat, on the 25th ult. He sustained a. compound comminuted fracture of the left leg, and had his right hand so badly crushed, that the amputation of one of the fingers became necessary. The operation was performed by Dr. Simpson, of Timbuctoo. —__—_———-—-+& Hep. Hra.—The Plumas Standard hopes its patrons will “not argue, that because it has thus far got along without money, it can always do so.” Such a presumption, Mr. Standard, is by no means “violent” among newspaper men. There is this consolation, however, which goes with it : If debtors can’t pay you—you won’t pay your creditors! and bad asthe morality may be, the logic is excellent. THREE SPLINTERS.—Several rails split by old: Abe Lincoln, it is said have arrived in the State, and that the apportionment to the Republicans of. North San Juan, will be three splinters, consignede an ardent and talented young politici.n now temporarily absent from the town. ee an interesting letter from acorrespondent at Moore’s Flat—the first 8f a series which we are promised from the same source. State of the Roads. Great complaint is made by teamsters, stage drivers, travelers and residents along certain parts of the’ road between North San Juan and Timbuctoo, because of the shameful neglect of several of the road Overscers to discharge their duties as the law requires, and the wants of the people demard. There are two praise-worthy exceptions, and two only. These occur in the districts of Judge Stidger and Mr. David Wood. Both of these gentlemen have exhibited a commendable pride in keeping the roads within their respective jurisdictions in an almost.perfect state of repair; and some of the drivers say they could tell with their eyes blinded, when their teams have crossed the boundary lines, and got into their dominions. The roads of the Sweetland district, fhe French Corral district, and the Timbuctoo distriet, are sadly dilapidated. ‘[he Overseers, it ‘seems, have done little or no work onthem lately. In some places the culverts or ditch bridges are un-. safe to cross. In others, large pools of water have flooded the roads, causing miry spots, into which heavily loaded wagons sink almost hubdeep ; and in others still there are loose boulders, deep chuck-holes, sidling places and abrupt pitches, all of which are destructive of wagons, -and perilous to human and brute safety. We hope—and every one along the road hopes -—-to see an immediate remedy in these districts. Ifthe Overseers are unwilling, or feel themselves incompetent to discharge the duties assigned them, they had better resign and allow efficient men to be appointed in their places. SS ee lag Oe eats McCue’s Opposition Line. In a week or two the peach season will be over, when, Jim McCue informs us, it is his intention to go into the Opposition Stage business with more spirit and determination than ever. There is no denying that itis both to the directand indirect advantage of our town to sustain him.— There is plenty of travel for both lines if fairly divided, as is rendered apparent from the fact that the coaches of the Combination Company frequently go out jammed full inside, and with twelve and fourteen passengers on top. There can be no safety to human life over these mountains with any such load; and the only wonder is that people are so reckless of safety as to take the risks. McCue’s enterprise is backed by another and better argument. He keeps down the prices of fare. Before he came on, six dollars were demanded as the price of a passage to Marysville. Now, by his line, the traveler pays but three.— Fare is worth that between San Juan and Marysville and no more. To be sure, the Combination carries for one dollar, but should Jim pull off, up again it would goto six. Every one will see, then—particularly every permanent resident of the town, that McCue should be liberally patronized, ‘Opposition is the life of trade,” and so long as there is an open field, the enterprising have a right to enter it with their capital, and succeed in whatever business they may choose to adopt, if they can. Tux Ricut Pray.—The Sacramento News gives a larger summary from the interior papers than any other of the centrally located dailies. This will prove, eventually, a great element of its popularity. Of late years this matter has been too much neglected at Sacramento. Ifthe true greatness of California is to be published abroad, information must be collated and centralized,—as may easily be done by a paper published at the capital of the State. The Union gained one-half its circulation by pursuing this course. Its great ambition now, appears to be, to give the news from the other direction—that is, the Atlantic States. There are therefore, two distinct fields of operation. Both abound in material, and both should be properly harvested. pea ee Timpucroo THEATER.—At no place in the mountains have they a more stylish or comfortable little Theater than at Timbuctoo. It was built by Thayer & Peters of that place, and is owned by Dittmer & Davis, who keep an excellent saloon in the basement. Its dimensions are, 36x76 feet, and it is capable of seating 400 persons. The scenery, of which there is a considerable variety, is new and gaudy, from the pencil of A. H, Hyers, artist. Timbuctoo is not near so populous a town as North San Juan, and yet, in this particular, it is far ahead of us. We want a better Theater here, and hope some of our capitalists may be stimulated to build it. I on De ASU ERNE) Care Ses a MARVSVILLE Farr,—Mr. J. A. Seeley, who has just returned from Marysville, informs us, that the preparations being made for the Fair, which is to open on Monday, are on a scale of magnificence beyond his utmost anticipations. The interior of the Pavilion will look gorgeous, and the stock-grounds, about a half-mile from the city, are extensive, and have been fitted up in a style of convenience and comfort. which cannot fail to give satisfaction to exhibitors. Upwards of fifty stock entries were made on Wednesday, and this feature of the event, it is expected, will prove more than ordinarily attractive. A Matter or Prrpe.—The firemen of Timbuctoo, whose apparatus, we believe, consists only of a thousand fect of hose, on a stylish carriage, take as much pride in the institution as if it were composed of a dozen “merchines.” Jack Clark is the Chief Engineer, and a “brick.” They don’t mold ’em any better. If we hada little more of the fireman’s ambition and spirit in North San Juan, the assurances of safety from conflagration would be much greater. lee An INGENIOUS CONTRIVANCE.—At the Keystone Ranch, Marysville road, on top of the hill beyond the works of the Deer Creek Funnel Company, Mr. David Brown has erected a windlass with an ingenious wire, or kind of telegraphic attachment, by means of which he sends a bucket down the hill, with great rapidity, a distance of three hundred yards, to a spring, and brings it back filled with water. Ten THOUSAND DoLttar DiGG1ncs.—Robert Kelly, of Timbuctoo, as we are informed, cleaned up. Wednesday, from diggings known as the Ranch Claims, 510 94-100 ozs. o valued at over $10,000,—Marysville (And Mr. Kelly subscribed for the Hydraulic Press the other day. May his diggings prove exhaustless! = BRECKENRIDGE Merztinc.—The Breckenridge and Lane men will meet in the Theater tonight, for the purpose of selecting three delegates to attend the County Convention, which is to meet at Nevada on next Saturday, Sth inst. SSE Se nn ee I ED Birchville Correspondence. BIRcHVIILLE, Aug. 29, 1860. Messrs. Epitors:—The casual observer, NEW TH IS WEE kK. A ad Dissolution of Co-partnership. pasting through:many of owr mining towns, sees ‘ue firm of J. W. Guthrie & Co, is this day but. little of the resources from whence they derive their support; the cosy little cottages are noted, dotted here and there with their well-cultivated gardens. The mechanic may be heard at his work, but the great mass, during working hours are invisible to the passer-by. It is here as elsewhere. Let us look over the hills for a few moments and see what is going on here at present. First, . we come to the claims of DeMoulin & Pack, who have been working them with an industrious perseverance for the past six years. They are now washing the surface, and running a short tunnel to reach the rich bottom lying underneath. If they have not as yet enriched themselves, they have added no inconsiderable sum ‘to the circulating ‘medium of the world. Next we find Messrs. Everett, Quinn and Lahey busy at work wearing away the top o— with their usual gue returns. Having lately added “Dunning’s mproved Undercurrent” to their facilities for saving fine gold, a marked improvement is confidently expected. Aces these are the claims of Fogarty, Powell and Cadwallader, and the Winham Brothers; the former have already taken from the top gravel over $50,000, and it is by no means exhausted. The claims of the latter cover an immense piece of fine mining ground, and will soon be in working order again. ge a ee all the above-mentioned claims, to the depth of from forty to sixty feet, the rich gravel yet remains, and whenever prospected, from fifteen to twenty feet has been found to average ten cents to the pan.To work this rich deposit to an advantage, two tunnels are now being driven day and night through the hard granite rock which surrounds the rim. When completed you will hear of enormous dividends from these “Safety Fund Banks.” On the hill opposite are the well-known “Roeky Diggings,” now owned by Pat Fogarty and Den Maher. These claims were among the first worked in early days and paid well. Though not as extensive as some others, they still maintain their reputation of being among the most rofitable. Ina short time, O’Meara & Co., will ave their tunnel completed to work the rich claims adjoining. Below ail these claims is the extensive “ Tail Flume” of N. Cadwallader extending down to the river, near where a number of Celestials aay be found prying about amongst the big rocks. Mr. Cadwallader has upon several occasions found his sluices had been tampered with. He made the discovery of one of these midnight prospectors lying in the bottom of his sluices two or three years ago. He may be fortunate enough to find another some fine morning. Near the lower end of the hill are two extensive water-wheels for working incline tunnels on the ground of Messrs. Bell & Whitby and M. Cassin. Rich gravel has been struck on the bed rock, but as this is mostly a new enterprise in ~ section, more can be said about them hereafter. : On Buckeye Hill, below the celebrated claims of Evans & Mull, Geo. Stevens & Co. have commenced washing through their tunnel, having at last completed it at a heavy expense. An opening is hardly as yet perceptible, but they are confident, from present prospects, of its paying well. Opposite here, under a_ beautiful te of trees, may be found Mr. T. G. Whitby, living almost in the primitive — of early Cal. ifornians, busily engaged in building himself a fine residence. Numerous other enterprizes might with equal propriety be mentioned, but would occupy too much of your space at present. Ae Yen T Ie) Virginia City Correspondence. VireGinia City, Aug. 28th, 1860. Eptrors HypRravutic Press.—Our town, on last Friday night, was thrown into a state of exciteméht by a shooting affair which took place at the residence of Mr. Eder, and resulted in the death of one man and the wounding of three others, one of whom was a lady, the wife of Mr. Eder. The facts of the case are as follows: Some time ago Eder rented a house to a family named Devins. When the rent became due, he demanded it. Devins said he was unable to pay. The rent was afterwards repeatedly called for, but not paid. Finally Eder ordered the family to vacate the premises, which they refused to do. Yesterday afternoon, Eder and another person armed themselves, and proceeding to the house, threatened forcibly to eject the occupants. A ditficulty ensued, which was likely to be settled by the use of deadly weapons. However, the entreaties of Devin’s wife prevented it, and Eder and his companion left the spot. After dark, Devins and five others, went, in a spirit of retaliation, to Eder’s house, and made an assault upon his family. At the time, there were in the house Mr. Eder, his lady and child, and a man whose name I have not learned. The parties commenced firing, and some twelve shots in all were exchanged. Eder was wounded in the leg. His lady received a severe wound in her thigh, breaking the bone. The man stopping in the family, was shot in the arm, and had the bone fractured. One of the assaulting party was mortally wounded, the bullet entering his forehead and lodging in the brain. His name was Hughes. He died this morning. Immediately after the fray, the other five assailants left, and have not since been heard from. Efforts are being made for their arrest. Had they bcen = t last night, the probabilities are, that the would now be enjoying the society of their ruffianly companion, in a world not quite so bright and beautiful as this. The formation of a vigilance committee has been much talked of; but the movement encounters too much opposition to be successful. ([7WE should be pleased to hear often from our Virginia City correspendent. oe Sweetland Correspondence. — SWEETLAND, Aug 31st, 1860. Messrs. Epitors:—The event of the week transpired in our dull vill last night. Our big Sis, up the Ridge, sent a delegation of “Union Savers” down to teach our citizens their political duty; and the way they used up certain political opponents, Was somewhat after the style of the latest improvement in sausage machines! However, little Sis is under many obligations to her larger but younger sister, up the Ridge. Beside, we are quite a patriotic people; and that wagon load of music which accompanied the spouters, made many of the boys talk of old times—the Mexican war, Indian fights, and the more recent Washoe troubles. I do not choose to discriminate, or criticise the speakers, as I heard but the first. I eannot, however, avoid saying for Ju C., that he is a forcible and fair expounder of the Republican faith ; perhaps too candid to rise in his party. I must not omit to mention the fact, that our town had some say in the meeting; for I learned that at least one of the ‘‘oldest inhabitants” here made a creditable effort in the way of aspeech; and, beside, we had half the officers of the mecting. The fact is, this is now ‘ded as a rising town, and big Sis had better look to her laurels. DicernGs.—Things go on as usual among the miners. Some are washing, others ing tunnels, cutting through hard cement, and preparing for a winter campai inst poverty; and know you and all good folks wish the miner a big victory in this fight.
