during the panic, confidence is gradually
being restored.
The intelligence from the mines 10 en-.
couraging. The bullion is being dug out
in large quantities, and the regular mining
operations are rewarded with success
scarcely anticipated. The Mariposa mines
are being worked scientifically, and with
the happiest results. The surface mining
has also turned out generally profitable, al-
though, in some Of the rsvines and water
courses, where abundance of gold was
looked for, nothing has been found. Such
places are however few. snd there 10 every
reason to believe, fhst for the next three
months, great deal Of gold will be dug
out
The squatter excitement has altogether
subsided, and il is probable that there will
be no further disturbance on that question.

ed in this city yesterday morning from the
Deer Creek Mines. He informs us that
the Csyots Diggings, as they are called, at
Nevada city. on the soove creek, continue

the lead 10 struck, then drifted, the rich
