BUTTE TABLE MOUNTAIN CONSOLIDATED
MINING CoMPANY.-Two of the trustees,
Messrs. Harris and Maurice, visited this
tunnel, situated near Cherokee Flat, last
week. The progress of the work under the
management and superintendance of MIR.
tations The tunnel is six hundred and fifty
feet in length, seven feet high, and five feet
wide, cut through hard bed rock the most of
the way, and we'll timbered where the safety
of the work requires it. A better or more
substantial piece of work does not exist in
the mining regions of California. They have
passed through several small ledges Of
quartz rock having tho appearance of con-
tanning gold, but it is the intention Of the
company to continue running the tunnel un-
til they strike the basin of the mountain, be-
ing we'll satisfied that they will find rich de-
posits to repay them for the undertaking.
The company is composed of one hundred
shares at one hundred dollars per share,
making a capital of ten thousand dollars
The work was commenced in May last. and
if the stockholders will continue to pay up
their assessments with the same promptness
as heretofore, the work will progress more
rapidly as they are now working in soft bed
rock. Butte Table Mountain ere long will
astound the country with its richness.
The Eureka Company is rapidly going
ahead with their work, and the stockholders
Of that company are sanguine of their pile.
The Robinson Tunnel Company are prepar-
ing to wash their dirt, having struck good
stratum, and if properly managed, there is
a fortune to every shareholder.
The surface diggings about Cherokee Flat
are very rich, and all that the miners wish,
is that the reservoir from above may be
opened, so that they may receive unmeas-
ured sluice- heads of water without pay, ex-
cept gratitude to Him above.

The Dax we celebr.,.

Christmas has come Throughout tn,
land is sung that grand old anthem,
Joy to the world, the Lord has come,n
and what host Of voices join in the chorus
The whole Christian world hail this as 9
general holiday. and by common consent
the millions of Christian Europe and Amer.
lea rest from their labors to do homage tc
the memory of Him who died for all. Such
is the purpose for which the day is set apart,
and let us hope that amid the merry-ma-
kings incident to the occasion, the sacred
object is not forgotten.
How many heart is gladdened at a
christmas Gift,'' and how many a sad, neg
lected creatures heart yearns in its bitter
ness for some little token that on this :. hap
py day it is cared for and loved and how
many poor, lone lad goes supperless and
penniless to his wretched bed to weep, that
amid all this happiness he is unblessed with
even one little bauble to make it smerry
Christmas to him. What heart break
ing, fearful day is this season of merry. ma
king and thanksgiving to many homeless
orphan, and what mockery are its sounds
of joy, its merry chime of bells, and the
shouts of happy girls and boys.
What bitter day must Christmas be to
:he wretched being who is chained within
his cell awaiting a certain doom. when rec
objections of his boyhood's merry Christmas
contrast themselves with this awful return
of the day, the last on earth for him. What
a Christmas gift would liberty be to him
But we are making but a sorry Christmas
carol for our readers by this recurrence to
the woes and sutferings, rather than to the
joys and comforts, that characterize o-day.
We are surrounded by many means of ma
king ourselves happy, and let us enjoy them
as best we can Thank Heaven, instances
of penury and want are comparatively few
in this our golden State. and if general
and comfort make it meet that we
should "make merry and be glad" truly
we as people should hail to-day as most
merry Christmas, and may it indeed prove
such to us each and all.
We greet you our readers, with the usual
and hope you may all live to en-
joy many another return of this anniversa-
ry; and may every one of you be blessed
with Christmas gifts to your hearts content;
may every man woman and child, expert
ence their fullest anticipations of joy.
We wish g duck of a bonnet or a Sc love

and a hundred and sixty acres of land to
every gentleman, and dolls, rocking horses,

cry little boy and givl whose mothers feel
no objection to their having such things,and
finally we again reiterate.a MERRY CHRIST

WEATHER IN THE MOUNTAINS Capt.
Burnham, who arrived in town yesterday
from Canon Greek informs US that the wealth
er has recently been so excessively cold in
that vicinity, as to cause general suspen-
sion of mining operations. He says that the
temperature has several times fallen as low
as FIVE degrees below zero. In consequence
of the extreme cold, the snow remains loose
aud subject to the action of the winds, ma
king it impossible to keep open trails. thus
rendering travelling from one point to anoth-
er both difficult and dangerous. Little will
be done in mining until the spring opens,
when water will probably be very abundant

we're especially struck with the speech of
Mr.. A. Refs, and as we understand this
to have been his maiden speech, he shows
great promise of becoming an eloquent
