For the Nevada Journal


MR. EDITOR: Within the past week
have visited quite a number of mining
localities, few items from them perhaps
would be of interest to your readers -
The first was the thriving little town called
Mountain Springs, located on the North
Fork Of the American river, where there
are several large companies-waiting for
water to commence operations.
The principal mode of working diggings
at Mountain Springs, is by running cut
into the hill from the adjoining ravines-
which are SO steep and numerous as to
afford every possible facility to the miner.
Tucker, Sheridan & Co., have run ditch
from Canon Creek to their ground which
promises to pay well. 1t is rich and l
may say, an unprospected country.
AS l desire to speak only of places
which have been lately discovered, the
first I will mention is Montezuma Hill
Although gold has been discovered on the
hill for some time, still new discoveries are
made every week. The Pennsylvania Co.
and the Union Co. S claims, are perhaps,
the best in the mountains a scarcity of
water there, as everywhere else, prevails.
The next place that took my attention
was Humbug Canon, "a place which is
bound to belle its name at no very distant
period) where Waldron & Co., are at
present running cut from the ravine into
the hill. There has been party Of Chi
namen in full possession of almost all the
ravines for miles around, until lately. 1t
had been remarked by some hombre that
these Cinnamon dressed well, lived high
and always bought the best brandy, which
no doubt induced him to divide the poor
Celestial's diggings between himself and
them. Since that time, several other
prospecting parties have taken the same
liberty, until at last John Chanaman, en-
masse arc piled up in ravine, resembling
so many monkies (blcss the mark in a
cage. 1t is cheering fact to the miners
there, that every inch, so far as they have
yet gone, has paid big wages, with pros
pect of something more bye and bye
AS | am about to start on a short trip
into the mountains, l must curtail the
present, to give you more heightened
account next week. Yours, Sc,
TRAVELLER.

AFTER WEDDrNG.-''I like to tend
Weddings" said Mrs. Partington, as she
came back from a neighboring church,
where one had been celebrated, and hung
up her shawl, and replaced the black
bonnet in the long g-preserved band-box.
''I like to see young people come together
with the promise to love, cherish and
nurse each other But it is solemn thing,
is matrimony-a very solemn thing, where
the pasture comes into the chancery, with
surplus on and goes through with the
ceremcnt of making them man and wife.
1 declare 1 shall never forget how felt
when I had the nuptial ring put upon my
finger, when Paul said, with my goods l
thee endow." He kept dry-goods store
then, and thought he was going to give
me all there was in it. l was young and
simple, and did not know till afterwards
that it only meant one calico gound in q
year. 1t is lovely sight to see the young
people plighting their trough, and coming
up to consume their vows"

SHOOTING At ORLEANS FLAr-A shooting
affair came off at Orleans Flat on Monday last
the facts Of the case as far as we learn, are as
follows: II. A. Ayres, commonly known as
"Faddy" being on "bendcr" requested gen.
tleman to drink with him, and on his refusal
Ayres drew his pistol and fired, missing him.
A scuffle then ensued, in which the pistol
was accidentally discharged, the ball striking a
Mr.. Hull in the leg. Ayres then crossed the
street and fred into the "Orleans Hotel" the
ball taking effect in the left shoulder Of Mrs
Buchanan.
Ayres was brought before Justice Caldwell

INDIAN MuRDER.-We add still anoth-

!!2gue brought u, by the GOliah the
Star says:
Justice Eaton held an inquest on an
Indian, who was found on Tuesday morn
ing in the Vineyard of Thomas Sanchez.
He was about eighteen years old, and is
supposed to be from San Diego. When
found his head was bruised and mashed,
as though done with stones, and stripped
entirely naked except pair of socks on
his feet The supposition is that he was
murdered by Indians during the night
previous, as the occupants know nothing
of the affair.

bered that in the account OF the priss fight
near Nevada on the 18th November last, it
was stated that Kelly broke his arm in the
third round, thereby disabling him during
the remainder Of the contest On medical ex-
animation in this city thirtysix days after the
accident, both bones Of the fore arm were found
to be dislocated at the wrist, leaving tho hand
in such twisted and unnatural position tha,
the patient could only get the back Of the little
finger to the mouth. We are informed that
Or. F. II. Morton, assisted BY Drs. Barry and
Pierson, undertook the case at this stage, and
by the aid Of pullies we're enabled to break up
the adhesion, adjust the dislocated bones. and
bring the hand to its natural position. The
patient suffered great agony during the opera
ton, snd for twenty-four hours afterwards To-
bored under tetanic and convulsive spasms-
Choroform was administered at the commence

not be brought wholly under its influence

San ACcIDCNT r

SAD AccIDENr.-The Sierra Citizen
says: Mr.. James Gennegan, miner of
Marysville, was seriously hurt on Mon
day. In attempting to pass the wood
chute above Langton's dwelling, he was
struck By stick, tearing off all the mus
cles of the back part of the thigh, and
laying bare the large artery in the bend
of the knee joint. The wound is fright
full, but DR.. Carr, the attendant physician,
thinks the limb can be saved. We under
stand the unfortunate man is in destitute
circumstances, though he will not want
for attention, after the ladies of Downie-
Vile are aware of his destitute condition.
