SwINDLING IN GOLD DUsT- Caution 70
Returned Caltorn,ans. We have here
tofore cautioned persons having gold
dust to dispose of to be careful of pro.
fessed friends and especially of the run
ner-" who are so plenty and so busy
with their advice on the arrival of every
vessel. There are several hops in the
lower part of the city who's proprietor
employ these runners to pick up custo.
mers AT first they swind ed by false
weight, giving often more than the regl-
lar price per ounce. bt managing to
steal about 20 per cent, of the weight
They soon became so bold in this way
that the victims suspected TIE fraud,
and some OF them had cir gold weigh
ed In other places and proved the swim
die. Then the runners were instructed
to take the victims to various stores in
duce them to purchase clothing, and if
possible to get them intoxicated, and
when they were sufficiently oblivious as
to the amount of their pile, they were
taken in and done for But this mode
OF proceeding was not often acquicsced
IN ty the victims, and some rows were
the consequence.
The next move was an ingenious one
and by it thousands of dollars have been
stolen by these Peter Funks of Br ker-
age They at first weigh d the gold
honestly, and then poked it about with
magnet, sifted it, &C., under pretence
OF separating the sand, and distracted
IN the operation the usual amount; then
the sand was put out of sight, the gold
re- weighed in an unfair manner, the Gus
toner informed that there was so much
sand, and paid for the balance of gold.
In one instance a man sold about thirty
thousand dollars worth OF gold at price
considerably above the ordinary rate,
hut he was cheated one hundred and
htty ounces in the weight tiaving no
documents to prove the weight, he could
not recover dollar. Andtuer indivdu-
al had his gold "a small amount) fairly
weighed, but after considerable magnets
Lizlng, the swindler re-weighed it, and
declared that he must deduct three
ounces for sands
Ii happened that the sand remained
within reach, and the Californian . 'ck
eted its declined the bargain, ookahis
property to respectable house. And
i3phd thats sand W ighed ony a
quarter OF an ounce One osthese rogues
gives oo cents an ounce more tor gold
tnan he can get for it--of course he
makes the difference and his profit by
some sort OF robbery. We would notify
our California friends, that the only
way to get the real svalue of their gold
dust is to deal with we'll known, honora-

this county had sufficient discretion to
avoid levying contributions from the In
dians, but IN San Diego county the law
was put in force to the extent that its
reading would justify From three
rancherias commanded by Antonio Cara
the tax collector of San Diego collected
$3.50 in money, and drove off eighteen
gentle milk cows and five gentle horses
and mules. Persons have called upon
us and offered to produce proofs of these
facts, stating themselves to have been
eye witnesses of the proceedings. From
the rancheria where Cara lives, Sl50

The Star publishes the confession of
Marshall, who &as executed at San
Diego. He asserts his innocence, and
says that he and Beru were held pri-
soners by Cara, but that they escaped
from him as soon as possible, Beru ac-
knowledged his guilt.

ESCAPE, OF PRISONERS FROM ANGEL Is
LAND.-For some time past, number
OF prisoners have been employed at An
gel sland in qnarrying stone. They
have been kept on board brig anchor
ed near the shore, and most of them
nave been confined in irons when not
at work, and some of them ironed while
working. They have been under a
guard of three men. and have hereto
fore worked well and exhibited no signs
OF revolt, This morning about o clock,
as they were engaged in lowering boat
from the brig, the prisoners fell upon
one of the guard named Dunbar, three
of them seized him from behind. pinion,
ed his arms, and locked him up in cell
on board the brig. They soo1 overcame
the other two men, and seizing the three
muskets and two or three six. shooters,
seventeen of the prisoners got into the
boat and pulled for Contra Costa. Some
OF the Mexican prisoners wished to kill
Dunbar, but the Americans prevented
them. So sudden and unexpected was
the attack, that the guard were easily
overpnwercd. There we're twerty- FIVE
prisoners on the brig, and the eight who
rem med have generally but hort

started, and as Capt. Lambert soon fol-
owed, it is altole her probable that
some of them will be retaken. Alta.

To Returning Californians.

IN w y BaOAAnh ohObhCA NOAohis hh
article from the New York Tribune,
from which an idea may be formed of
Fthe miserable tricks res0rted to by the
eharpers of the eastern cities and their
|emissaries, in order to swindle the
|nnsuspecting Of those who are return
ing to their families from California.
t is we'll known that men who have
accumulated a little gold while here,
bn arriving at New York, Philadel-
bha ar New Orleans, want it exchan-
ged for convenient currency. If,
however, they apply at the mint in
philadelphia or New Orleans, they
must wait six or eight days for it to
pc assayed and its true value ascer-
aimed. Not wishing to be delayed
Q long, they apply to brokers,
yho offer as an inducement, all the
told can possibly be worth, and some
lines so cts. on the ounce more than
pey can get for it. Many are deceiv.
Il by the trick, and are induced by
be twofold prospect of getting their
lust turned into cash Immediately, and
advance of 3 or A pei cent, tc
axe choice of this exchange. But
e consequence is, they are defrau-
ed out Of three or four times AS much
. they had supposed they were going
be gamers.
We also see an advertisement in
le ~ o. True Delta, signed by two
Ulcers of the branch mint, making a
tatement of similar frauds being prac-
Fed in that city. They advise the
burning Californian in all cases, to
III at the mint before disposing of
Eeir dust, and if they cannot wait for
to be assayed, they can have it
eighed, free of expense, and some
ing near its value arrived at, by
hich mean these frauds may, to a
eat degree, be avoided. In all ca
y they will pay the amount in coin
soon as its value can be ascertain
correctly by assaying and testing
fneness. 1t would undoubtedly
well for those thus circumstanced
be on their guard, and if they can
get their gold exchanged at the
mt, to avail themselves of the effer
its officers, TO have it weighed corr
stly /; or, where this cannot be done,
ply to some house where fair bu-
ess is done-where men Of moral
nth and integrity have deservedly
IN name for themselves as being
istworthy.
This course would undoubtedly be
p safer plan, and would in maiori-
Of cases, prove a material saving to
plders of California gold dust. 1t is
hard matter to resist the temptation
hen we are offered a little more than
g believe our property to be worth
1t the very fact that these men, who
g we'll posted on the subject of mo-
~ matters, offer premium, is sufli-
ent to justify suspicion, and demands
at they be strictly watched.

Good Prospect 1t appears that
our friend DR. Weaver has struck up
on the Cayote lead farther west than
it has hitherto been discovered. 1t is
Immediately west of where the lead
has been worked; the shaft about 60
feet deep, and but little troubled with
water. To-day he took out a pros
pect of 46$ to pan. How much
farther this lead will be traced, cam
not now be determined; but where
ever it is found, it is fortune to the
finder.

We take the following from the San
Francisco Picayune of the 7th. We
concur with our cotemporary that a
small gold coin is very much needed
as a circulating medium in California
We have heretofore, however, been
so much swindled by the circulation OF
private issues, which, after being set
afoat proved to be worth only about
$50 on the 100, that it would not be
surprising if people should receive
them with reluctance. But if they
prove to be worth all they pretend to
be, as the Pacayune intimates they
will, their beneficial effects will be felt
by all.

Wass, NIolitor & Co.'S, Coin.

Wass, NIoltor & Co.'S, Coin
We had the pleasure of examining,
last evening, rarG aus, to this commu-
nifty, in the shape of a parcel of new
and beautiful gold coin issued from the
assay Office Of Wass, Molitor s. Co., Mer-
chant street, and which makes its de-
but in the business world to-day. The
size, design of die and general appear.
ance Of this coin, is very similar to the
American gold coin though its bright
yellow hue, and distinctive marks of
manufacture, are sufficient to prevent it
from being mistaken for the mint issue.
| The initials of the house, w. NJ. g. Co,
are substituted for the word Libe,ty, on
the head of the Goddess and the eagle
is encircled with the words Fire dollars
IN California gold; instead of the words
United States of America. The pieces
are somewhat rough to the touch, as in
deed, could hardly be avoided, but their
general appearance is very cre1itabe,
both to the artist who designed and fin
ished the dies, and to the gentlemen
issuing the coin
The issue now presented to the pub.
lie will be hailed MS grea, and timely
relief, In the known ability and in
tegrity Of the firm manufacturing this
new coin, we have an ample guaranty
that it will never be debascd and, from
the fact that the bankers generally wi |
receive it, it is fair to presume that they
have examined the matter in all its
bearings upon business relations, and
consider that public necessity requires
resort to private coinage, for tompora-
ry relief, until the system can be super
seded, and the wants of the community
supplied, by the establishment Of "a U.
). mint.
We yesterday alluded to petition at
the Commercial E1chance, asking
Messrs. Mofatt & Co., to issue to the
amount of 100000, in small coin. In.
asmuch rs this house has hitherto per-
emptorily refused to issue private coin.
in consequence of their existing contract
with the u s. Government, the infer
ence is, that this petition is to be seat
to the Treasury, as the sentiment Of
the people Of this city on the subject.
asking the authority of the department
for the small issues. lf this be so, at
least three months would necessarily
elapes before we could have any relief
from this source, unless Ales>rs Moffatt
IL Co., should at once annual their pre-
sent contract, which they will hardly
do. The issue Of Messrs. Wass, Melitor
& CO., is likely to be our only means of
relief from the premium now charged
on American coin, and to constitute our
chief circulating medium for some time
to come.
