gSA- One of the busiest scenes OF ac.
tivity In this vicinity at present is the
not very long since discovered diggings
Of Wet Hill. The great depth of the
lead, the quick sandy nature Of the earth,
and the great amount OF water IN the
hill, compels the use of horse power in =
stead Of the common hand windlass. -
Some four or fv, horse shafts are being
worked on the hill, and the results from
the working is such as warrant the hea-
Wy expense, A specimen of pipe clay
was shown to us day or two since from
McCourtncy s. Myres' shaft, which was
literally stuffed with gold, the ORC peep
ing out on every side of the mass, In
the claims worked by the above gem
tlemen, $40 to the pan has been found
In the claims of Lvers, Kline & Co. near
by, as high as 500 to the pan has been
found. 1t is no uncommon thing to take
out pans of SIC, SIC and 500 from claims
on this hill.

The following we clip from the Sonora
Herald of Saturday.

PuNIsHMENrs. The vigilance COM
mittee of this city tried two cases this
week, and executed summary punish
ment in both instances. l he first was II
man from sydney, arrested on suspicion
of stealing II mule, He was sentenced
to have his head shaved, leave the mines
and receive one hundred lashes, which
decree was put into immediate execu-
ton, but twenty five lashes were remit
ted The next was a Mexican, who
was convicted Of stealing pistol. He
received fifty lashes, shaved head and
was compelled to leave the mines forth
with.
We believe these are the first cases
before the committee for long time,
not that the diminution Of crime is so
great but that the courts, under the
new criminal organization, are FAST Su-
perseding the want Of vigilance com
mittee. Rogues are now brought up
and meet with speady tFiais-justice is
no longer tardy in its operations. We
hope, now that this desirable change IN
the administration Of law has been
brought about, that the committee Will
act as an adjunct to the authorities, IN
the detection of crime, and hand over
all cases to the courts for punishment
MURDER AT CuRTIsvILLE.-On We'd
nesday last, the body of a man was found
simply covered over with dirt which bad
apparently been thrown up in the course
Of mining He had been dead about
two weeks, as near as could he judged.
and was supposed to be one of two Ger
mans who came to the camp about that
time, one OF whom was known TO leave
early the next morning. The body was
discovered by the cayotes prOwling about
the place, which awakened suspicion.
The murdered man was wrapped in his
blanket, which was covered with blood
We understand that running water is
gradually increasing in some of the local
tiles where it has almost entirely failed
this summer, and that many of our min

to abandon suoh places, are about re-
suming operations with their long toms.

as bone but week ago, there is now

The first coach ever in that city ar
rived last Sunday. The competition in
this business on all the leading thorough
fares above, runs so high that one of the
companies have extended line to that
point.
The San Francisco Post gives us Gre
dit as the source from which the above
luminous paragraph is obtained, and it is
probably based upon paragraph in the
Journal in reference to the coaches of
Biroh's line, which were brought to Ne
vada for the first time on the 18th inst
We will inform the Post what most of
its readers already know, that the little
village, called Nevada city, including
with it's environs some twelve thousand
people, swelling to twenty thousand
during the regular mining season. has
for months enjoyed a regular daily line
of stages, and that for several weeks
back the great amount of travelling has
called into existence still another line.
SO that there are now running regularly
between this city and Sacramento two
lines Of stages, one tri-weekly, anda tri-
weekly to Marysvilc The route over the
mountain road, after leaving the level
plains is somewhat difficult and it has
heen customary to use strong wagon
on the mountain route, and leave the
coaches at point below On the 18th
the coach was brought through, and the
paragraph first coach in Nevada was
! psnned. We invite our cotenl parary to

DARING RoBBERY AT McCouRTNEY's. -
On Sunday morning last, before day
break, the wagons Of three teamstsrs,
who had stopped for the night at Nc
Courtney's stand ON Bear River, were
ransackcd and robbed of flour, crackers,
powder, blankets, shirts, and various
other articles 10 the amount of about
5000. The carpet-b bag of Judge Roberts
which had been left in one of the wa
CONS, was forced open, and clothing and
other articles taken from it to tho value
of about Sl00 This is one of the most
daring outrages that has been lately
committed. A teamster was sleeping
in the porch within twenty yards of the
wagons, but no disturbance was heard
during the night by any one, nor could
suspicion be fixed upon any party-a
doubt being entertained whether the
robbery had been committed by whites
or lniians Search was instituted among
all the neighboring rancherias, but moth
ing suspicious could be discovered. A
valuable mare, belonging to Mr., Co.
burn, was also missing from the stable,
which it is supposed the scoundrels took

A PITIABLE CAsE.-As most Of our
readers are aware, a little son of Capt
Willet, a boy about five years Of age
disappeared from his home nearly week
ago and has not since been heard Of
His mother is in most pitiable state,
her anxiety having almost shaken her
reason. A purse of one hundred dollars
has been made up, MS we learn, as
reward for any person who gives infor-
nation which will lead to his recovery,
and we hope that any one who knows
any thing about the child will come for
ward and let it be known Immediately.
Since the above was in type, the mys-
terry has been cleared up, but in the
most melancholy manner; the boy is
dead This morning, as Mr. Z, B.
Haywood was digginga drain on the side
OF vault, on the site Of the old City
Hall, he perceived what he supposed to
be glove lying ON the surface of the
water. On further examination, it PROV
ed to be human hand. Having pro-
cured assistance. the body was drawn
out, when it proved to be that of the
poor little boy of whom we have above
written. The Coroner was sent for, and
an inquest having been held, verdict
was rendered, that the body was that Of
boy of five or six years of age, named
Robert Willet, and that he came to his
death by accidentally falling into said
vault, and being drowned therein. rs
