- OR4ADEUL MURDER.
Siringer, proprietor Of the Cold Spring
Ranch, was found murdered, on Sun
day last, on the road, about one mile
north Of jamestown. The deed was
probably committed on Thursday last,
since which time the body had been
missing. Two balls passed through
stringer's body, one in the head, and
one through the chest, either sufficient
to have caused bis death. His team
was found near the body in starving
condition. Suspicion rests upon man
by the name Of Reyes, (wbo is well
known in this yioinity,) partner Of
Stringer, and who, it is said had been on
bad terms with him for some time past
Stringer had wife and family in the
States. Keys has made his escape, and
the Sheriff, N jor Solomon offers re-
ward of Eve hundred dollars for his ap-
prehension. Keys, also, ha, = wife and
family, who reside on the ranch.

KERN RIVER i xCrrEMENr.-The
San joaquin Republican says, the best
news that has reached Stockton in many
months,is the intelligence Of the discov-
cry Of gold on Kern River.
The new diggings are situated some
$50 miles from Stockton, high up in the
elevated region, in the direction of
Kern's pass. The traveller follows the
southern trail until he strikes Posey, be-
you'd White river, thence he proceeds
along an Indian trail (by which Fremont
came into California on his last trip)
in south-easterly direction Kern
river, where the gold has been struck,
is stream about as large as the Nickel
umne. The fats forming its banks are
represented to prospect richly, and Of
the whole adjacent mining country the
same may be said. For twenty miles
from where the miner strikes the dig
gings, the road is very rugged SO much
SO that it is necessary to use pack mules
IN the transportation of provisions, SC.
Wagons are ofno service. g
fo Our informant states that there IS
plenty Of dirt that paysfour cents to the
pan, which is equal to $40 per day to
the man. - og-s
At the present time there are only
some rs miners on Kern river, but it Is
expected that large numbers are now on
their way thither. a .s5aa
There is no doubt that the reports
from the new diggings are true IN every
particalar.-The geld region resembles,
In geographical feature, the region =
round Hangtoxs, and exteads over >
