The LMANToUR CLAIM.-The confrmate
of this claim yestarday by the Board n
United States Land Commissioners rr
duccd profound sensation in this city
Such decision was not looked for by A
great body Of the people. When it was a.
nounced on the streets that it had been ca.
flrmed, every one felt am zed, and almS
doubted his very sense. They became in 4
short while, however, too well satisfied th
the announcement was, unfortunately too trE
The decision of the Board, if sustained in N
higher colrts, will inact upon our devoA
city the most fatal blow it has ever yet n
ceived We cannot believe that the UnA
States District Court or the Supreme Cola
of the United States will con6rm the dea
ion of the Board of Land Commissioners :
The fact was established that no such gfs
as that Of Limantour's was ever recorded /,
the city of Mexico, but the Board saw fit d
throw out this evidence, on a legal techn
ality, and consider the question just as il a
such evidence had been introduced
We believe the position taken by the Boar
will be overruled by the higher courts
As the city as well as the great body Of N
residents of the city are deeply concerned d
having this claim rejected, we hope to a
some concentrated movement for bringing tli
case properly before the District Court d
the meantime, we would suggest to all parts
having property within the limits Of this cls,
not to compromise with Limantour or h|
agents. We repeat, we do not believe tn
higher conrts will confirm the decision Of 4

MINING.-The recent rains have enabled
quite number of miners, who have been
idle for months, to commence work A de-
cided impetus has been given to business gen.
orally in consequence. If we could only
have one week or ten days more of rain, five
hundred miners who are either idle now or
working to such disadvantage that they
might about as well be idle, would be able to
to commence active operations, and on a
scale that would yield them at least good
wages There is not q claim in the region
of Volcano but that will, with plenty of
water to wash it, pay good wages.
We hear of numerous "big strikes" or
what would be called big strikes in most
dggings; but if we attempted to chronicle
all of them, we should be under the necessity
Of devoting our entire space to that object.
1t will be sufficient to say, for the present,
that so far as the quantity of rain that has
fallen has enabled miners to prospect and
work new claims, the reputed richness of this
section of country has been more than veri-
fed.
The Volcano Ditch is undergoing the ope-
ration of pudding as rapidly as possible;
and we may therefore very safely calculate
that large lumber Of miners will be sup
piled with water from that source in short
time. There is universal confidence that
the good time coming" is at hand
