MINING AND MINERS. The miners in this
vicinity are getting to be the most moned
men among us They have got flush
since they have succeeded in reaching the
pay dirt, and completed their various and
ingenious machinery for hosting the rocks
out of their shafts, and washing their dirt
to advantage. They dress finer than any
other class of our citizens. They deal large
ly in goods, wares and merchandise. They
chew good tobacco, smoke good cigars, drink
good wine, patronize our theatres, play bill
liards for amusement, and ride and drive
fast horses They load down our stages,
and fill our hotels. They throw great guam
titles of cash in the fine barber shops. They
build our public highways, they make bust
ness for the express companies and gold
dust and exchange dealers. They would
patronfzc churches if we had any. They
are law abiding men, and are not to be found
in our jails. They recognize the authority
of our courts to mete out even handed jus.
tice to all without the unlawful interference
of mobs. They make the best of jurors they
read the foreign and home newspapers, they
patrorize the printer, and they are cash
customers. They make millionairs Of our
ocean steamship companies. they built the
railroad across the Isthmus, and they must
build the Pacific railroad if it is ever built.
They are the main prop to California.

MISTAKE IN THE MANA Chilianian
rushed into the banking house of McWilliams
g. Tymeson, and demanded of Mr. Tymeson
an amount of money which he said he had
left with him for safe keeping. He COM
mcnced slashing and striking at Mr.. Tyne
son, who being as innocent as a new born
babe, very naturally defended himself by
hitting him whelt, which cooled him off
The truth was, the Chilian was drunk, and
had given his purse to friend to keep for
him; the transfer being made near the door,
the inebriate thought the institution ought
to be responsible for all losses that might
accrue from any ready cash transaction that
perchance occurred there or about the cor
ner of Montgomery and Myers streets. Be-
fore there was much damage done, the friend
and receiver returned and gave the money
back to the swarthy depositer, and declared

K n. GATHERING.-Several attempts
have been made of late, to get up X. N.
gathering in Oroville; but from what we
can learn, the several attempts have been
a failure. A Black Republican gentleman
was wringing bell and announcing the fact
on the streets, that there was to be Fill
more meeting last evening at the S. The
fac: that they employed black Republican
to ring the bill, looks 8 though the K. N IS
and Black Republicans were abeut to ANAL
gamate The meetings, it is said. were held
in private--so private, indeed, that there
was nobody in attendance.

Mining Items.

The mines from Crozier's Hill to Carpen-
ter's Flat, are doing better than they have
ever done at eny time since the diggings
were first opened.
Sylvis & Co., took out last week with eight
men, 100000. This is one of the very best
claims on the Hill, and is worked to great
advantage.
George Z. Green & Co. have nearly COM
pleted their underground cut from their
Shaft to the Bluff, and will wash with their
sluces under ground This dirt prospects
from six to twelve cents to the pan, equal to
$50 per day, to the hand.
Clark McGowan & Co.. took out last week
$4,000, with six hands.
The Golden Gate Company have washed
out in the last two weeks, 81, ,254,00.
Silver Wave Company, on Live Oak Flat,
take out on an average, $4,000 per week,
with nine hands. The dirt in this claim
pays very regularly.
Sullivan & Brothers, have very yellow
claim, twenty cents to the pan. 1t is so regu-
lar, that they can calculate almost to cent,
the amount of gold contained in every
square foot of dirt. This claim has cleared
for the owners, above all expenses, SO 900,
since they opened it, some three months ago.
The mines in this vicinity, have as yet
tcen but partially prospected. We have no
doubt that some big strikes will be made as
soon as the different claims are faily opened.
