oRITuA7x,

With the profoundest sorrow we are
called upon to announce the death OF our
friend and late patron. GEORGE KERR,
Esq, one Of the proprietors of the Placer
Times and Transcript. and for the past two
sessions of the Legislature, Public Printer
Mr.. Kerr was among the first immigr1pts
t to California after its acquisition BY the
United States, and has been id ntifed
with the political press since the formation
of our State Government. During the
Mexican War he volunteered as a private
in Col. Biscoe's Regiment, and served on
the Vera Cruz line with credit to himself
and honor to his country. Subsequently
he was elected Captain, and served in that
capacity until the treaty of peace was
concluded. The San Joaquin Republican,
the ablcst conducted newspaper in San
Joaquin county, owes its origin to Mr..
Kerr's energy, and he continued to edit
and publish it until his election as State
Printer, when he withdrew from that
paper and became associated in the pub
lication of the Times and Transcript
Capt. Kerr was o gentleman, all in al,
and in his death the topographic craft has
lost one OF its noblest, best friends, and
the State one Of its most honorable citi-
zens; while We, who knew him so well, and
so often saw exhibited by him the noblest
traits of mans nature, cannot suppress a
tear as we write this passing tribute to
his memory. He was a native of the
State of Pennsylvania, and died in Stock
ton on the morning of tie 9th inst, aged
twenty-scyen years. Requiescat IN pace.

u MEDICAL OFFICE.-In this age of
progress, when science is developing itself
in such q manner as to appear almost mira
culous. everything in common place is look.
ed upon as not worth notice. In view Of
this fact, DR.. Young Corner Of Montgomery
stFeet) has concluded to leave the beaten
track hitherto pursued by most scientific
physicians, chat of waiting for the public
to lind you out alone) and publish to the
world, as much as may be, his knowledge Of
the healing art, to let those who are in need
Of assistance know where they can find re-
lief without fear of being imposed upon.
In continuation of this object, Dr. Young
would say, that for the past ten years he
has pursued the practice of medicine in one
of the largest cities of the United States
with the highest success, and that his stand
ing as Q physician is without reproach,
having at one time been lecturer at the
University of Pennsylvania on venereal
diseases, etc.
Upon all these considerations, DR.. Young
has confidence in introducing himself to the,
public, knowing that they will sustain we'll

The following are few of the many tes-
timonials which have appeared in the pub
lie journals the last few years:

OF advertising, for good and sufficient rea<

Dr.. Young is one of the most Industrious

Mining ct Downieville.

GAss & Co.'S. TuNxxx.-In passing mp
and down the river the stranger can see
but little Of what is really going on.
Yesterday we visited the tunnel OF Messrs.
Cas- & Co., at the Blue Banks, on the
North Fork, and we're surprised to learn
the extent Of the drifts and the value of the
claim. The main tunnel was commenced
six or eight months ago, and for . long
time paid little or nothing; but the COM
pany continued to dig week after week, and
month after month, until they at last
reached the deposits which will eventu-
ally make their fortune. They have pene-
trated the hill something more than four
hundred feet. The main drift is nearly
high enough to allow one to walk erect,
securely timbered, and every rock removed
that might endanger the workmen. An
excellent track runs the whole length of
the tunnel, on which the dirt is conveyed
to the washing apparatus outside. while the
rocks are built in wall to keep the sides
from caving down on the track. Three
or four side drifts run in different direc-
tions from the main tunnel, all OF which
have proved rich.
The average amount taken out daily is
from eighteen to thirty dollars to the hand,
although six or seven ounces could be Ia
ken out by one hand in day by following
the principal lead. The claims would
probably sell for from $4,000 to $4,000
each. On Thursday afternoon the COM
pany took out over IA ounces.
A number of sluices are in operation
along the banks of the rivers and on the
hill-sides and fats, with about ordinary
success. Mining has not yet fairly begun
for the coming season, though active pre-
parations are now being made.
SNAKE BAR.-A company of five men
at work on the foot of this bar, week be-
fore last ayaraged from ten to fifteen
ounces per day.
1t is our intention during the coming
week to visit all the principal diggings in
the vicinity of Downieville, and report
fully and correctly every thing that may
be of interest to the readers of the Citizen.
After the weather becomes settled we will
extend our peregrinations to all the i'm
portant mines in the county.
