longer interrupted in their occupations. The op
tions Of the Act for the better regulations Of the
| mines and government Of foreign miners" has
tended more than any other cause to create de-
ranoement of business in the mines As will be
seem by intelligence in other portions Of this paper,
The collector OF taxes under this law has been quite
unsuccessful in Mariposa county and there will,
in all probability, be effort shortly made to CO II
the Legislature together for the purpose Of mo d.
flying the law.
The principal new discoveries in the Southern
mines had been in the region Of country around
Sonora between the Stanislaus and Tuolu mne.
The first was at Columbia, three miles from Sono-
ra. The next was on the side Of hill mou nain,
in Sonora and the last two three miles north Of
Sonora. At the latter place there some two
three thousand people.
| A company has been recently formed in San
Francisco for extensive operations in the Southern
mines, and already large quantities of machinery
| have been forwarded Rich veins of gold-bearing
quartz have been discovered and experiments
made on the ground.
No additional official information with respect to
the military expedition against the Clear Lake
Indians, had been received at San Francisco
The Squatter question" at Sacramento City,
still bears intricate and alarming relationship to
the business welfare of that place. A remarkable
stagnation is manifest in every branch of its pros
Il perity. The ordinance relative to Public and Pri-
vate Property, considerat y affecting this question,
passed the Common Cou neil on the 18th, and has
been approved by the mayor. 1t is thought this
will hasten the adjustment of the difficulties.
The CHA IMMIGRA1ToN.--Capt. John Chap
man and wife arrived at San Francisco from Santa
Fe New Mexico, via the Gila and Colorado riv
ers and San Diego, the 18th June. They left
Santa Fe on the 18th of last March, with party
| of fftv among whom we re several families. Can't
, Chapman and wife arriv ed in San Diego in fifty
nine days; they endured great hardshps, and were
several times in jeopardy from the Apache Indians
and afterwards from the Yumas, at the Colorado.
Had Capt. c. not had deal Of experience in Indian
fighting in New Mexico, when at the head of a
mounted volunteer corps under special orders from
, Col. Washington, Civil ARID Military Governor OF
that district, he might have suffered much more
He was compelled to leave the greater portion of
his party the other side Of the Colorado and proceed
agrapidly as possible to Sa Diego. At the ferry
} crossing they deprived of almost every
sary in the way of blankets and food. The greater
portion of his party had reac he'd San Diego before
Capt c. left, and brought the most distressing ac-
counts Of the treatment experienced from the In
dians
