DIvIsIoH.-There Is a movement oI.
foot, north OF the MokeIumne river, to
petition the next Legislature for IL
vision Of Calaveraz County. We are
informed that many petitions are aIrea-
dy numerousIy signed, not only by citi-
zcns of the northern part Of CalavcraS,
but also by large numbers Of residents
Of the southwest portion Of El Dorado
and southeast corner Of Sacramento
counties. Although this movement is
said 10 be generally popular in the
north, we do not even hear it mention
ed south of the river. What views
will be taken by the residents OF the
southern portion of the county, when
the proposition becomes fully known,
we are really at loss to say Com
mnnications upon this subject are IN
vited, and will receive place i'll our
columns.

New AssATING OFFIcE.-The want
of a proper assaying office has long
been felt In this community, but we are
glad to learn this want will be hence
forth fully supplied. Count Wass, a
Hungarian gentleman, we'll known i'll
the United States for his chivaIric pa
triotiSm no less than for his practical
attanments in the science of mining,
chemistry, and mineralogy, has opened
an Office in this city i'll connection with
Mr.. Molitor, gentleman who is tho
roughly versed in assayng, smelling,
and refining. These gentlemen, who
go into business under the name Of
Wass, Molitor & Co., have procured
from London and the United States
machinery and instruments of the finest
description, for the purbose Of carrying
on the business of assaying and smelt-
ing on more extensive scale than it
has yet been conducted in this country.
Being practical and experienced miners,
they are prepared to furnish directions
and plans for working qnartz mines,
and for mining generally. 1t may be
well to say that Messrs. Wass and
Molitor, in addition to their other at
tainments are skilful engineers. Their
office is on Montgomery street, below
Bush. Hitherto it has been extreme
y difficult for those engaged in quartz
mining to obtain proper information as
to the quality Of their ore, and further,
as to the best means Of extracting and
amalgamating the gold. They were
obliged to depend wholly on the state
ments Of Mexicans, often incorrect.
Count Wass, from practical experience
i'll this country and his own, is fully
versed in gold mining, and can impart
much valuable information on the sub
ject to such as need his advice.-S. F.

Mr.. Charles A. Seaman, writing to
the Alta California upon the & Mining
Prospects of Port Ortord," has the fol-
lowing, for the truth Of which be
VoucheS:
81 have seen a publication in this
city, stating the mining prospects in
a place called Port Oxford, wherein
the correspondent states that $40 and
$l5 per day aret the ordinary wages
Now, have just returned from Port
Oxford, and am ready to assert posi-
lively that it is impossible to make $3
per day in the placers there. There
IS little gold deposited on the beach
of very fine quality, but it will not
pay for washing. am strong adyo-
cate of Port Oxford so far as it goes,
but my opinion Is that no place can
prosper unless it does so clearly on its
own merits. The climate is indeed
fine. The harbor is good only in the
case of a northwest wind. The tim
ber about the place is the same as the
rest which lines the whole coast.
As point OF embarkation from the
Shasta Mines, it has the preference
over all others, so soon as trail is
opened. 1t will be long time before
trips can he made successful to the in
terror, and am certain, making that
allowance, that the old placers in Cali
tornla will yield much more abundant
than will Shasta. do not write from
hearsay, but from actual experience.
the best of all teachers.
The farming land is very limited in
the neighborhood Of Port Oxford, and
is of an inferior quality, compared with
land in the western portion Of the
United States.
Or course the place IS in its infancy,
and there Is Yet time for discoveries 10
be made, but as far as my observation,
and three years experience in Colifor--
MIA goes, i think the chances are, to-
speak the truth, very slim and doubt
ful for making money in Port Oxford.

Mr.. EDIToR:-We noticed in your
paper few DAYS since an article refer
ring to a robbery of watch and $l87,
said to have been committed in the
"Our House," kept by Manuel, Of this
place, and believing you to have been
wrongly informed by some malicious
person. whose statement is calculated
to iniure Manuel'S house, we feel it a
duty to contradict the same, and say
that we believe there is not better
house or a more correct and good man

OuRsELvEs.--On Monday, the 9Th
day Of October, at four O'Clock P. NJ,
our printing materials, packed in boxes,
were shipped from Long Wharf, in San
Francisco. Notwithstanding bad roads,
broken down wagons, and other ills too
numerous to mention, ,-our establishment
was delivered to Us here on the follow
ing Thursday. Unable torrent build
ing, we secured piece of ground, and
on Saturday laid the foundations of our
house. On Wednesday, the 18th, the
Office was SO far completed that we
were enabled to move in and commence
getting things to rights, besides putting
up the press. The type boxes were
knocked open on the next day, Thurs
day, and on Sunday morning, three
days afterwards, issued the first num-
Der of the CHRONICLE, not having had
any other aid than that Of those interes-
ted ia the office. Our first edition was
worked off just twelve days from the
time our materials left the Bay.

talented author, Mr. John j. Werth.-
Mining of every desert ption is discuss
ed at length by Mr.. Werth, whose rea-
soning upon the subjects he has taken
IN hand is SO plain as to come home to
every reader with full and convincing
force. The agricultural and CONNER
cial advantages of California are also
treated Of with great ability hy the au-
thor, who seems to have perfect and
Just conception of the vast superiority
of our State over almost every other
portion of the globe. AS work of re-
ference it is invaluable, and we shall
have frequent occasion to refer to it
hereafter.

GONE HoME.-We omitted to men
ton last week that J. E. Durivage, Esq.
had published his vaIedictory in the
Alta California. Mr.. Duriyage has
been connected with the Alta since its
first appearance as tri-weekly; and
as a vigorous, Imaginative, and inter
esting writer has placed the Alta at the
head Of California papers. His de-
partnre will be regretted by large cir

SALMON FISHING. The season for
salmon fishing has again come round,
and great numbers are daily caught in
the Mokelumne river, some fourteen
miles below the Middle Bar. Several
companies Of gentlemen are making a
regular business of catching and sailing
down the fish, and have many hands,
both whites and indians, employed in
The operation. At one place, about ten
niles below the Bar, dam has been
,uilt across the river, the more effectu-

have laid us under deep obligations for
the favors which they have conferred

in first furnishing US with the Stockton
and Bay papers. We are also much
indebted to the gentlemanIy agent Of
this firm, G. D. Brush, Esq, who has
shown us many little kindnesses which
we will gratefully remember. En- pas
san, we will remind our readers thai
Mr.. Todd, weH known as the pioneer
Of expressmen in the southern mines.

Iy filled to snch good advantage when

ordinary cave in our county, about six
miles from San Antonio, which has
been entered and partially explored to
distance of over fourteen hundred
feet 1t is described by those who have
seen it as being divided into countless
chambers and apartments, all Of easy

ed from some richly finished dome to
shed their lustre upon the magnificence
that lies scattered around, while in
some of the apartments floor, walls,
and ceilings reflect back such d flood
Of light from innumerabe stalactltes
as TO be almost binding. There is a
gentle and regular descent to the cave
Of about thirty-fye degrees.

Of the county are determined not to be
" "caught mapping" in case we should
have wet winter. Among the many
means now being arranged for the pas
sage of swollen streams, we notice a
new bridge now being thrown across
Amador Greek at the point where the
stage road crosses it. This will be a
free bridge, and is built by Messrs Kel-

this thriving settlement, which already
has, within the limits of the village, a

and substantial bridge across the Mo-
kelnmne river at Oregon Bar, with the
ultimate intention of opening road
from the Hill to that point, by which a
line of stages will be run to Sacrament
to. 1t is said the new route will short
en- the distance considerably between
the Levee City and Mokelulnne. Jack
son, Dry Town and other places on the
old road will be left to the northward,
the new route passing through the beau
tifuf Ion Valley, Of which spot we shall
probably have something to say in our
next.

PLACER CoppER. We have bee,

PLACER COPPER. We have been
shown some very beautiful specimens
Of native copper in its pure state,
which i'll shape and size, much reseIn-
bles the fine gold which is dug out of
the plaeers. The specimens now be-
fore us were taken out OF the earth al
Campo Seco, where it is said, that
while washing for gold one frequently
finds in his pan from an ounce to a
pound or so of copper, sometimes,
though seldom, mixed with gold. It
mas not, however, heen found in suffi-
cient abundance to Justify a regular
system of mining to obtain it.

been made to revive the Pacific Star,
