The Prospects of the Southern Mines
From the stockton Times
During the last few days we have received most
important information from various parts of the
southern mining district. Our correspondents
have sent encouraging and glowing accounts of the
prospects OF the miner; and We regret that we have
not room IN the present publication to lay their let
tiers before the public Near all the tributary rivers
Of the San Joaquin new placers have been dscov-
cred, which are represented TO be amazingly rich
IN the precious metal The miners at all points are
doing well, the waters having fallen considerably
menced.
Our friend, Mr. Mckinney, gentleman of great
respectsbty and worth, informs us that several
discoveries OF vast importance have just been made
on the rIver Moqueleme, and already a number Of
Jumps of gold have been dug out. Out of one hole
In three days, TWO men took out no less than g.
GOO, and there is scarcely one making less than an
ounce per diem. Provisions are plentiful, and may
be obtained at moderate rates.
vast emigration is setting into the placers on
the CaaveTas, amongst whom are some hundreds
rom the northern mines; a remarkable sign of the
increasing confidence of the public in the now gra-
dually awakening belief that the Southern mines
are not only the healthiest but weailhiest in Cali
fornia. Our agent, who is established at San An
tonic, another recently discovered placer, says tn Al
numbers are there making each two ounces
daily.
We have received news from Murphy's new Dig
gIngs on the Stanislaus. friend states that,
having a slight tendency to obesity" he cannot
dc much IN the way OF digging, and works but two
days in the week, yet somehow or other" he
continues TO put into his belt about $50 per week.
Every man is successful; and we mention that We
have not heard two conflicting reports relative
To the matter.
The country between the Stanslaus and the
Iuoumne, comprising Sonora, Woods, Sulllvans,
DC, whence so much gold has already been OBJ
tanned, has recently excited much remark. A new
placer nae b. en- FL uck, seven or eight miles above
the town OF Sonora, whittier many hundreds of
persons are vending their way. We refer 10 an
other column for a statement showing that that dis
rict is one Of the richest south of the Moqueleme
We are told (and believe the report TO be true)
that all this part OF the country is a rich placer;
push the n ade in wheresoeyer you may, and he
Ia bcrer Will be repaid with abundance.
From the Tuolumne, and all its tributary gulches,
tie news is Of the same favorable description as
that we have laid before our readers heretofore.

On the Manposa the miner is also successful.
One lump OF gold weighing lbs, recently dug up
nj the Maiiposa, was fOsnd the surface OF the
ground. We have seen the specimen, and il is at

makes IN the share Of labor. Numerous machines
