MISINc.-The miners, generally, are
making good wages, in this vicinity,
and occasionally We hear Of big strikes
and fine specimens.
Messrs Webster & Co., at Benson
vile, last week averaged $40 to the
man, and this week $50 to the man,
clear of all expenses.
A Company on the north side of Gold
Hill are averaging, we are informed, !,
from 8 to $40 per day, to the man.
Another company near the 6 ave yard,
are washing out from $50 to $40 per
day. The gold in this hill is very much
scattered; some places the ground will
not pay for working, in others it is ex-
tremcly rich.
At Yankee Hill, company of 8
men, Harris & Co., have struck rich
pocket, out Of which they have taken
upwards Of two thousand dollars this
week. On Wednesday, they worked
one-Iialf day, and took out III OF;
Thursday, 2s OF; Friday, oes o.
Miners are prospecting around them in
every direction; but thus far, without
success.
A miner, At Springfield, BY the name
of Joshua Smith, while prospecting,
struck rich lead that will pay, ON an
average, one dollar to the pan, and is
supposed to be very extensive. This
discovery has created great excitement
in the vicinity, and the ground Is all
stacked off for claims, for half mile a.
round.

~ The following is true copy of
the bill introduced by the Hon. Jas. w.
Cofroth, in relation to Firemen. It
will be seen that "Jim," has not neg
lected the rights and interests Of his
brother firemen. This is but one Of the
many Important bills introduced by Mr..
Coffroth, in the Senate, dnring the pres
lent session Of the Legislature. He is
emphatically worker, and makes his
mark on the statute books. He is ac-
knowledged by all, to be one of the
smartest men in the Senate, and general
ly takes the lead in all important mat
ters, brought up for the consideration of
that honoroble body, and is generally
chairman of all the Especial working
COMMITTEES:
An act supplementary to an act to ex-
empt Firemen from Military Service
and Jury Duty, passed March 25th,
1853.
The people of the State of California,
represented in Senate and Assembly, do
enact as follows:
SEC. 1. When Fire-compauies are
formed in unincorporated and unorgan-
lied towns and villages, the members
thereof shall be entitled to all the rights,
and privileges of"an act to exempt fire.
men from militia service and jury duty"
passed March 25th, 1853.
SEC. 2. Companies hitherto formed
and that may be formed in such unin-
ccrporsted and unorganized towns and
villages shall deposit with the Justice Of
the Peace of such town or village, GER
tifcate in writing containing the date of
the organization Of such company, the
company's name, aud the names Of its
officers, and the roll Of the active and
honorary members thereof, which certif-
icate shall be evidence at any time of
the existence of such company. The
certificate required in this section shall

SHor.-At Albany Flat, on Wednes-
day last, man was shot under the fol-
lowing circumstances: Mr.. Houghton a
resident there, was out guning, on

proceeding from his cabin. On rushing
to the door, he found his wife on the
floor, struggling with a villain known as
cred jack" when he raised his gun
and shot the rufian in the head.

lIsrryf INvENrroS.-A Mr.. Ward,
Of Sonora. has invented gold washer,
by the aid Of which on: hand can do the
labor of twelve men. The machinery
arrived in Stockton yestero~,,. u OF
very simple construction, and it Ii: said,
will effect quite revolution in the sys
tenn now practised in working the placer
diggings. 1t has been successfully test
ed. An ounce of gold was mixed with
two cart-loads of soil; the soil was run
through the machine, and all but grain
was returned. Mr.. Ward has made a.
mother very useful i .vention, by which
labor is saved in working thrashing and
other machines used for agricultural
purposes.-Republican.

Sons OF TEMPERANCE HALL.-A
neat and tasteful building is now being

fronting on Main street, above Jackson.
The lot will be neatly fenced in, and
the ground cultivated; and when every

improvement to that part O. the town.
The Hall will be ready fer occupation
on edncsday next. 1t will cost between
eight and nine hundred dollars.
