We are indebted to Mr.. Davis for San

Sacramento City and Panama papers.
Business was beginning to revive in San
Francisco, the rains had ceased, and COM
munication with the mines was fully re-
established.
The merchants and traders Of San
Francisco held meeting on the evening
of the 4th ul!. to take in consideration
the use of "quicksilver, gold and Califor-
MIA coin'' as a currency. They finally
decided to take neither, and raise dust in
its natural form to $17 the ounce.
A fire had occurred in Sacramento
which destroyed sos 900 worth of prop
erty.
Reliable intelligence, and that of fa-
vorabe nature, has at last been received
from Trinidad Bay. A new city has been
founded there.
The bay itself is represented as very
good harbor, where ships can lie safely at
anchor, except in southwest winds. The
country around the bay abounds in fine
timber and excellent water. The soil is
exceedingly rich. Every thing bids fair
for a hourishing town to spring up as
magicaly as San Francisco has DONE
Those who are there have commenced
the work in earnest.
A party of miners came to the bay
while the Nevada was at anchor, who re-
port gold deposits about sixty miles
northeast of that point
A riot had taken place on Deer Creek,
where twelve men, who had been SOL
ders in the Mexican war, attacked par
ty of Indians whom they accused OF stea-
ling animals, and killed four or five men
and one squaw. The Indians after run
ming some time before their pursuers,
turned round, seeing so few In chase, and
the pursuer became the pursued, until
they gained strong hold in rocky part
of the mountain, where the Indians at
tackled them furiously, woundlng, it is be-
Ieved fatally, two of the whites one in the
shoulder and the other in the arm. The
siege lasted two days. during which time
the Indians lost seventeen men and one
suuaw, besides those before mentioned.

the great fire.
We copy the following items from the
Stockton Times.
g. G. Belt, Esq, merchant of Stock
ton, has just arrived from Sonora, and de-
scribes the excitement amongst the inhab-
itants Of that town to be intense, in con-
sequence of the late rich discoveries in
this district. There is no doubt that the
new placer is of unprecedented richness,
and there are supposed to be from three
| to five thousand persons at work upon it,
who in numerous instances are getting
from two to twenty. ounces per day. The
| placer is situated about half mile from
| the town, is about 600 acres in extent,
aud is about 400 yards distant from water.
| Many of the holes have yielded, each, up
wards of ten pounds of the precious met
al. From one hole man took thirty sew
en- pounds of gold in three days. This
! Information may be relied upon, as it
comes from highly respectable source.
Mormon Guich-A Fact.-Two gen.
tlemen named Hyres and Brewer, dug
out, on the forenoon of Wednesday last,
twenty eight ounces, six dollars and a
| half, besides a lump weighing one pound
four dollars and half, all pure gold. The
miners are all doing well.
The Fremont Vein.--The operations
on this vein have not yet commenced
! Several fragments which were broken
| from the veins have been presented to us,
and from an examination we conclude
that rich harvest will be reaped.
In the case Of Boyden Us Clark, set
tied by arbitration in San Francisco, it
appeared in evidence that the parties as
partners III gambling establishment,
from cash capital Of only $2500, had
realized the immense sum of nearly
$15O,O 900 in about thirteen months.
