APPoINTMENT.-J. D. PATTERSON
ESQ.,, OF Columbia, has been appointed
by the Court of Sessions, to fill the va
cancy occasioned by the death of DR..
Geo. A. Field, late Assessor of Tuol-
ume County. A better selection could
not have been made, as we believe Mr..
Patterson will make an able and efficient
officer.
On the reception of the news of the
action of the Court of Sessions on Tues
day evening, the numerous friends Of
Nlr. Patterson assembled at the Ex-
change to congratulate him on his ap-
pointment. The assembly was called
to order by Col. Cazneau, and on mo-
tion Col. G. K. Gillespie was called to
the chair, and Col. T. N. Cazneau ap-
pointed Secretary. Remarks were made
by Messrs. Cofroth, Chamberlain, Gil.

MlNlNG.-The music of the "Tomso
is now heard on the hill sides and in the
valleys, and the air is musical with the
rush of waters, and the rafting of stones.
Miners are coming in from various parts
of the country, and Toms sluices and
water are now in great demand. The
dry weather We have experienced for
the past two weeks has rather diminish
ed the supply of water, but at the pres
ent writing, the rain is pouring down in
magnificent abundance, and promises a
permanent supply for all who search in
the bowels of the earth, for the root of
all evil.
The yield Of the orc this season will
probably exceed, by far, that of last
winter, as the miners, as general thing,
work in a more systematic and scientific
manner than heretofore, and have taken
advantage of the improvements and ex-
perience of the past year. There will
probably be more persons engaged in
mining, in this vicinity, this winter, than
at any former period, as it is a well
known fact that for the depth and rich
ness of the auriferous soil, and the abun-
dant supply of water from the Tuolum-
ne Company, Columbia and vicinity is
not surpassed by any other section in the
Southern Mines.
On Tuesday, Messrs. Steele s.
Co, took from their claim, on Persons s
Hill, large piece of quartz rock, con-
taining from 80 to $1oo in gold
The claim of F. w. H. Aaron & Co.. ,
at Gold Springs prospects from 5 to 80
dollars to the load, and from all appear
ances will pay as rich for some time to
come.
At Santiago, Messrs. Hennessey &
Co. are doing extremely well, and have
found number of fine specimens. The
claim is about 25 feet from the place
where Conner & Co. extracted such large
amounts in 80. The best pay dirt on
this hill has ever been found, from to
6 feet beneath the surface, although,
gold has been taken out at the depth of
80 feet, but not in sufficient quantity to
pay profits above the expense Of work.
ing. 1t is thought by many experienced
miners that If shaft was put down un
til the ledge was found, it would pay
very rich.
A large piece of quartz rock,
weighing III ounces, and containing
aboutl $3.50 in gold was taken, out at
Martinas, by Mexican, on Monday last.
