Mokelumne Hu.

Little more than two years have
elapsed since we first trod upon Cali
fornian soil, and in that time there has
been scarcely a spot within its limits
that has not felt the imprint Of our
footsteps !; and yet, in all that period
we have visited no place that gave, evil
dences of greater or more permanent
prosperity than the hill-built city of
Mokelumne.
Two years ago, Mokclumne and its
adjacent placers were known and spo-
ken of as extremely rich, but of small
extent, and friends ridiculed each other
when they spoke Of going to Placers
where "all the claims worth anything
were long since worked out, or were
permanently taken up" Frequently,
however, new and large "strikes" were
made, and those who before thought
lightly Of these placers, began to evince
an interest in them secondary to no
other consideration. The result has
been the discovery of diggings unparal-
leled i'll richness or extent-earth pay
ing the miner well for his labor even
in the surface soil Of the hill-sides,
while others, boldly sinking shafts over
a hundred feet deep into the very bow
els of the mountains, have astonished
the world-not more than themselves
at the vast success which attended their
arduous and persevering labors.
Different from the coyote diggings of
any other section Of the mining dis
tricts Of California, here, at Mokel-
umne Hill, if ones hole will pay at all.
he can always secure ''lumps" suffi-
cient to defray his daily expenses, while
the earth in which the finer gold is con-
tanned is laid up in piles to await the
rains.
Diggings such as these are nulner-
Gus, and almost inexhaustible in the
vicinity of MoAelumne. These are
stubborn and incontrovertible facts;
and with them standing boldly forth,
our lively and busting town cannot fail
to become one of the most prominent
and successful mining points in Cali
fornia, SO long as mining will be made
the principal branch of .he business of
her people.
For the development Of all those re-
sources which surround us so album
antIy, the CALAvERAs CHRONICLE will
be found standing boldly forth, not as
an advocate Of sectional opinions, bur,
as its name indicates, identified with
the interests of the whoIe County, it
will be an exponent Of its advantages,
and a jealous defender of Its rights
and privileges.

THE MAN WHO THINKS HIMSELF
pERsEcUTED.-We clip the follow
ing good one, from northern eX-
change:
Hamilton, Of the Maryvillc Tribune,
was travelling in the cars, the other
day, from Bellefontaine to Kenton,
when he fell in with a decided char
acter. He was tolerably drunk
Let Hamilton tell the rest.
He said he lived in Urbana; thai
the Methodists had a great re,
vival there a year or more ago, and
that more than a hundred were con-
verted; that he had been converted
some years before, and had joined
the church. We asked him if he
still belonged to it,
"No," said he, they turned me
out for the most frivolous thing il
the world; if I'd lnow'd they'd +
turned me out for such little thinl
as that, I'd never joined
Said we, "What did you do p

outran another fellows; | won tn
