The character of the diggings here, and the decliuing prospects of a cuusiderable portion of the mines, has at length induced claim holders to turn their attention to the introduc. tion of chcaper and more abundant Inbor, and it is probable that the result will prove the wisdom of the movement. ‘he bed of Canyon creek, the flats at the month of the creek, and the newly discovered prospects on tho main Jobn Day river, promise well to employ thousauds ol laborers for years to come; that is to say, of that class who cau and will work for a compensation ol from $3 to $5.0 day. .Jt is to be hoped that by another yenr each honest miner in this country will have his dozen coolies delving in his elaims. ‘There is an eminent fitness in this relation of tbo races. .

Tbe Vedelle protests against the proposed division of tho ‘Territory, inasmnch as the principal mining districts wonld thereby be transferred to ths State of Nevads.
