ANOTHER GOLD LAKE. - Sacramento
has been the scene Of quite an excitement
growing out Of the discovery of gold in
the neighborhood of Suffer Lake. 1t
seems that Mr. Lovell's hands discovered
it while digging the dirt that is being
hauled intoahe city to grade the streets
The next morning quite rush was made
for the spot and many claims staked off.
They do not seem to have proved very
rich, as the "honest miners" have about
left the "diggings."
The weekly Placer herald., 1853-08-13
Mining Items.

We are indebted to our friend Shan
non, Deputy Foreign Tax Collector, for
the following items in regard to mining
on the American river:
The North Fork of the Middle Fork
This stream is fumed nearly the entire
length, from the junction to Ell Dorado
Canon, the miners are just beginning to
work in the bed of the stream, and so far
as tried the yield has been remarkably
good.
At the slide above Oak Flat, DR..
Ketchum and two others washed from
two wheelbarrow loads Of dirt seven hun
dred and fifty dollars. Many other places
in the slide are paying rich.
AT Stony Bar the miners have not got
fairly to work yet, but those who have are
making from one to three ounces per day
to the hand. In some places there is eight
feet Of pay dirt to be washed, which pays
as high as one dollar to the bucket full
At Mad Canon the miners are all doing
well, and some are making big strikes
At this place, on the Sd inst, gentlemen
had two fine specimens presented to him
mother and children doing we'll
At Volcano Bar and Canon the miners
are all doing well, making from one ounce
per day to $3.50 One company of three
men, Just above the Bar and in the slide,
took out $4,000 in one day, and their claim
has been averaging within 5000 of that
amount for some days past. This locality
is one of the richest Of the eastern por-
ton of Placer county.
From Volcano down to Spanish Bar
bridge there are great many fumes in
course of construction, none of which are
yet completed From the bridge to the
lower end of Yankee Bar there is one en-
tire string of fumes, distance Of nearly
five miles. This includes the well known
slide at Poverty Bar, where they expect
many ''big strikes" as soon as the water
can he drained off. There are not less
than 1000 persons engaged in constructing
this fume, and when the river is drained
they expect to employ about 1000 bands.
If the summer should prove favorable
, there will be more gold taken out of the
Middle Fork this summer than there ever
has been in any one previous season, as
nearly all the places fumed before were
only thoroughly prospected and not
worked.

that the contract for carrying the U. 5.

probably the best thing THAI could occur,
for California, provided the Mexican
Company will perform their duty faith
fully, as the mails by this route can be

proper energy is used by the company.

LATER FROM AUsTRALyA.-We have
dates from Sydney to April 29th. From

feet from the surface. The following are
the amounts brought down by the govern
ment escorts:
From Sofa!a 953 ounces, froil iamba-
roura 46l ounces, from Medro 749 ounces
from Nudge 294 ounces, by other CON
veyance 95S ounces from Sofalo and SIG
from Tarnbar0pra Further from Mount
