Mining Items,

DowNIEvnLE.-The Jersey Company,
opposite town, are averaging about $500
a day; on Thursday they took out about
$1,000. Mr.. Davis brought a slug to our
Office on Thursday evening weighing | 9oz,
three ounces Of which was quartz The
machinery on these claims, constructed I'M
der the superintendent of Mr.. Packer, is
the most perfect that we have ever seen
on the river, and does great credit to his
industry and integrity. Mr. Packer is
foreman of the company and we believe
gives great salts action. They have twenty
two hands employed during the day and
twelve at night They have taken out
about twenty thousad dollars this season,
and will most likely take out three times
as much more, as the ground is known to
be rich. From all we can learn, there has
been altogether about 100000 taken out
Of the Jersey claims. Valuable claims
they were, and are yet.
A company near the mouth of the East
Fork, took out 1e2 OF last week. No
particular reports have reached Us from
down river. What has become Of our
correspondents c. F. NJ. and NIr. Clas.
Reed? Information from them is par

ONE GRAND DEMONSTRArIoN.--JOh ohm Phoe-
NIX furnished the San Diego Herald with
a report OF national anniversary at that
place: in the words following, to wit:
At A. NJ. a procession was formed. and
moved to the sound of a military band,
consisting of a gong and Il hand bell. across
the Plaza, where it separated into two .divi-
sions, one proceeding to the Union House.
the other to the Colorado Hotel At each
of these excellent establishment an elegant
dejeuner was served up of the sumptuous-
ness of which the following bill of fare will
give some faint idea.
BREAKFAST BILL OF FARE.
Coffee. Cafe, con sucre,
Bread, Pan, asses
Butter, Montequilla,
Fried Beefsteaks, Carne,
Hash, No Sc.
!. At9AM precisely, the San Diego Light
Infantry, in full uniform. consisting of
Browns little boy, in his shirt-tail, fired a
national salute with large bunch of fire
crackers: This.part of the celebration went
off admirably with the exception of the
young gentleman having set fire to his shirt
tall which was fortunately immediately
extinguished without accident.
At II NJ, an GRAFTON was delivered by a
gentleman-in the Spanish language, in front
Of the Exchange, Of which your reporter
regrets TO say he has been unable to remem-
ber but the concluding sentence, which,
however, he is informed, contains many
fine ideas. 1t was nearly as follows.
