e.. From the Pacific Newsl l ..
Since our last issue nothing OF particular
interest has occurred 10 mark the progress of
California. The cholera has made rapid
strides in some locations, and laid many in the
dust. In this city, since its first appearance,
three weeks since, the number of deaths has
been about 1876; while at Sacramento they
have perhaps reached 1000. The scourge,
however, is abating, and the deaths in either
city do not now aveiage over or 10 per day.
This mortality has Frustrated, in great mea-
sure, the business of the large cities, and con-
seqnently affected every locality.
HEALTH OF SToCKroN.-For the past three
days no new cases Of cholera have appeared
! 10 our city. The disease made its appearance
on the outskirts of the town among the Mex
lean packers, who lived IN the exposed sltua-
tions without shelter, and upon diet, not in all
cases Of the most healthy character. t

road from Sacramento to the southern dIggIngs,

CROPS IN THE MoUNrAISs.-As fine crops
have been made among the placers this year
can be produced anywhere. No tract of
land in the Great West can show finer corn or
vegetables than have been raised among the
mountains between the Tuulumne and Status
isaus Rivers. Wherever the soil can be lrri-
gated there, is produced admirably, and fruit
is easily and abundantly produced. Pers ms
who think that California cannot feed her chill
dren, know absolutely nothing of her agricu!-
tural rcsources.-Alta Californian.
During the approaching winter, "A much larger
number of miners will remain in the mines
than ever before, aud consequently more gold
will be taken out than during any previous win
ter season. Much attention is being paid to
quartz mining. The Marposa mines are yield
ing good return, notwithstanding the machln-

short nme past another quartz vein of great rich
ness has been discovered between the South
Fork of the Feather and YubI rivers. Hereto
fore the mines have only been scratched over,
and scientific mining has just commenced =
When fully under way, and the requisite a
mount OF capital actively employed, the result
will be even more wonderful than ever before.
