MINING NEWS

Iosoa HaH-We learn from MIR. Birds
eye, who has just returned from Iowa city.
sha. the mines in these rich diggings still
continue to yield prospect wbi chg even in
the cxtravagant history of California, have
tut few equals. No, single company
has penetrated the ridge, but what has sue.
ceeded in finding rich dirt. The universal
success thus obtained, added to the fact
that some OF the companies have such un-
bounded success, keeps the excitement up
10 the highest pitch. Last week the Ja-
'nison Co. toek out for their weeks work
$4,000; other companies, though most Of
them are not quite so much favored as
these, arc having astonishing success.
At independent Hill, mile above Iowa
city, several companies have got in with
their drifts and cuts, and not enc but what
have found good leads.
Some four miles above Iowa Hill, the
same lead has been opened by several per-
sons. indicating richness but little if any,
thing short of those OF Iowa city. 1t is the
general opinion that the whole ridge on
which these several openings have been
made, will be found equally rich. Those
~ho have visited there, say that the scene
presented reminds them very forcibly OF
Nevada in 1850, when all around was
,urry, confusion and anticipation. Every.
thing unsettled, newcomers constantly
crowding in, all in hope Of getting sight
1t 1.-THE elephant" but not sufficiently GER
:ain to justify them in preparing the nec-
essary homes to make them comfortable.
And yet, the town is growing up like magic
where to-day we see vacant piece OF
ground, apparently valueless, tomorrow
we may be astonished by beholding a mag
ni6cent building.
Forest Csty.-Much the same may be
said Of Forest city as that of Iowa city
At that place, a1d at Minnesota, Smiths
Diggings, Camptonville, N. 0. Flat, &c.
similar scene is presented The whole
ridge, on and around which these places
are located appears to be literally and
abundantiy filled with gold, and every day
rich strikes are being made, and general
success prevails among all the industrious
part of the community.
In the vicinity Of Nevada, the miners
very generally, are doing good business
steadily, though no great strikes have re
Gently been made. Deer Greek is now
being flumed again, and as heretofore, may
be expected to give the companies engag
ed in it, good pay. This is particularly
the case from the Main street bridge down

SUFFER- RACE COURSE From the Union oi
Monday we see the races at Sutter Course ex-
cite great deal of pleasure among the citizens
of that goodly city, Notwithstanding they are

geldings, Whalebone and Dan Lisle, for 50 900
$1,000 aside, in harness three best in five
mile heats. The Lise won three first heats
After which race was made up between two

ANusENENTs.--The people of Nevada and
vicinity appear to be making extensive prep
arations for fine season of amusements In
addition to Frisbie's most delightful concerts,
which, by the way are real enjoyments to ev-
cry lover of good music and social intercourse,
various other means of amusement are being
set on foot. In regard to these concerts, we
would remark, that our anticipations of good
music were too low. Although we were for
merly acquainted with Mr.. Grambs' superior
qualifications as pianist, we were not pre-
pared to witness the degree of skill manifested
by Mr.. Simonson on the violin. He certainly
is, as we have frequently heard the remark,
perfect master of his instrument, which seems
to obey his wishes implicitly. 3
The Fourth of July is to be celebrated at the
Mountain Spring House, on the road from here
to Washington, by an oration, dinner, &C. the
latter of which will be gotten up by Mr. Geo
Maker, who will do justice to bis department.
In the evening at the same place, will be a
cotillion party, for which every arrangement
necessary for comfort viii be made.
AGAN.-On Thursday evening next, a
most delightful party is expected to assem-
BILE at Mr.. Turner's on Woods Ravine, in
the comforts Of which no one win be as
much disappointed as the one who fails to
attend.

wen Is candidate for reelection, and a
most forlorn one. lie has not the conf.
dence OF any portion of his own party,
and is striving by the acts we have named
TO get some foot hold through the demo.

democrat, willie using him for its own pur-
poses,as thoroughly despises his. .maneuvres
as we do. The people will hardly re.elect
