At this tmo, my partner, Mr.. Hoppe. start
ed up til, Sacramento Oh tour for subscrip-
tions, and on other business. Just as he left,
launch came down from the river with the
information that gold had been discovered in
the soil along the banks of the American fork
of the Sacramento, and that the inhabitants in
the ncighborhood had left their usual avoca-
tions, for the purpose of washing it. 1t was
stated that the average for one man was two
ounces per day, but tha, some had dug much
more than thai even. Then commenced the
" gold fever" All San Francisco was half
crazy to ge, up the river. Shovels, pickaxes,
hoes and lin pans Immediately became greatly
enhanced In value, and at this date c. mot he
had for any price provisions rose to most ex-
travagant rates. Ia "a hours, the floating
population Chose without employmen) had
left town, and in three days 400 men had gone
out ofa population Of 900 souls. Up to the
present time every launch that has left for the
Sacramento has been crowded with passen-
gers ; and stranger passing through our now
deserted streets, where so lately everything
was bustle and activity, would naturally sup
pose that the Cholera, or some other epidemic
had been here, and completely depopula,ed the
town. The resul, to Us was, Of course, ruin
Gus.
The accounts fom the gold regions are
such as would stagger the belief Of the most
credulous, were they not well authenticated
by men Of known veracity.
shall probably leave for there in a few
days, being convinced that gold digging, al
the rate Of an ounce or two per day, is much
better business than publishing newspaper
to an empty town.
