HUMAN SKELEroN.-A correspondent
Of the State Journal, writing from Rattle
snake Bar, in this county, says: IA short
time since, while party Of miners were
working into a fiat, about a mile below
here, they discovered the remains of two
human beings, at the depth of fourteen
feet from the surface. The remains
rested upon the bed rock, and above them
were deposited some three or four differ
ent strata of sand and gravel and alluvial
soil, each evidently deposited at different
times. AS there was not the least appear
ance that this strata had ever been dis
turbed, the remains evidently were there
before the depostes were made. AS ad
dItiona evidence Of this, a miner, per-
ceiving that ole of the skulls was filled
with dirt, had the curiosity To empty it
into pan, and upon reducing it he found
that it contained many particles of gold
As there is no reason to believe that the
formations above these remains are of
more recent date than those deposited IN
all the high flats that border on the Amer
cnn River, we may conclude that the
immense placers in this neighborhood
have been deposited within comparatively
recent years. In further proof of this
may add, that it is not unusual to find in
the deep hill or fiat diggings vegetable
substances, above which lay numerous
and different strata of congIomerate, evil
dcntly having never been disturbed.

miners camps can be found who are pros
pecting the hills wherever they think
there is chance for gold, and in many
places they have been rewarded for their
energy by the most fiatterins prospects. "
AT Richardson Hill, where small town
has sprung up, half mile above Iowa,
we noticed shaft which had been sunk
65 feet and good prospects OF gold taken
out. Numerous tunnels are now being
run into the hill.
We also noticed here n steam saw-mill,
which was erected by company from Fl
Dorado county. The mill is doing good
busness-lumber sells for $50 per NJ.
At Richardson's Hill, across Indian
Canon, some heavy work has been done,
and considerable gold taken out, some of
which is very coarse. We noticed one
piece of pure gold at the Office of Adams
s. Co., brought from these diggngs, that
weighed over ozs.
From all the information we could
gather, there is large scope of country
that is destined to have a heavy pupula-
ton, who will thoroughly prospect this
heretofore almost unnoticed region.
At Wisconsin Hill, at the head of Re-
fuge Canon, two miles east of Iowa Hill,
the miners have struck it rich. Two
towns are springing up in the vicinity
Monroe city and ClarkSvil - and for
miles around the new houses and camps
of late comers can he seen
Through all this region there are sever
al water bitches constructed and owned
by Capt. j, Il. Hill, which supply the
miners with wafer. The main one is not
less than IL or Is miles IN length.
A company are now engaged in cutting
a ditch from Shirttail creek to Iowa Hill,
which will be completed about the lst of
August.
Many are the speculations in regard to
the permanenry of Iowa Hill; but from
all we have seen and heard respecting
this mining region we are inclined to think
it will continue to he one Of the towns.

BRIDGE CoMpANIEs.-Under the law
concerning bridge companies, II is made
the duty of the President and Secretary OF
every such company, to report annually
to the Surveyor General, the cost OF the
bridge-the amount of capital stock-how
much of it has been expended-the amount
received during the year for tolls, and
other matters of importance. For a ne
glect of this duty, or any portion thereof,
every such company shall forfeit TO the
State the sum of two hundred dollars,
and for every week of snch neglect after
the month of January of each year, they
shall pay the further sum of fifty dollars;
In case the law has not been compl'ea
with by these companies, it is made tne
duty of the Surveyor General TO report
to the Attorney General every such tor
feiture, whose duty it is to sue for Its re-
covery.
None of the bridge companies nave
complied with this law, and every one OF
them has therefore to forfeit to the state

Our neighbor of the Democrat in a very
able article on the Chinese question holds
the following position:
"They are bringing into our midst, and
settling down among us, their prostitutes,
and, if we are rightly Informed, spreading
among our people disease of the most
loathesome character-and perhaps de-
stroying and running the hopes and pros
poets of countless numbers Of our unwary
countrymen."
If this is true, and we presume the
EDITORS sources of information are quite
direct, his Indignation is quite just.
Such a mode of sapng the morals of
our young men, ought to be reached
by Legislative enactments and that speed
ly before the complaint becomes too root
