STREETS OF GOLD & AVENUES OF WEALTH.-In
the town of Celoma, gold has been found under
circumstances which caused quite an excitement
among its inhabitants. The Alta California Says:
"On Friday and Saturday last, some parties
who had been prospecting in the principal street
struck a rich lead, which paid them from four to-
six dollars to the pan, and Immediately as the
news spread, hundreds focked to the scene, and in
a few hours, the whole street, from one end to
the other, was staked out and claimed. All these
claims are now being worked, and most of those
who who have reached the rock, get two to six
and eight dollars on the pan; others of course,
happen on the wrong spot and get much less,
sometimes next to nothing. The bed rock rises
and falls like wave, and it is only in the deeper
places that the rich deposits found. 1t is sup
posed that the site of Coloma was once the bed of
the South fork of the American, and that when it
cut out new channel, the sand-bank or bar on
which the town is located, was formed by the ac-
ton of the water. However this may be, two
things are certain: one, there is gold there, and
the miners taking it out the other, that every
spot in the town, where gold is supposedto be in
quantities which will pay the search, is claimed
by the merchants and miners of the place."
