BUTTE TABLE MOUNTAIN CONSOLIDATED
MINING CoMYANY.-Two Of the trustees,
Messrs. Harris and Maurice, visited this
tunnel, situated near Cherokee Flat, last
week. The progress Of the work tnder the
management and superintendancc Of Mr.
Charles Waldogcr, far ex celel their cxpec-
cations The tunnel IS six hundred aud Eity
feet in length, seven feet high, and five feet
wide, cut through hard bed rock the most ct
the way, and we'll timbert1 where the safety
Of the work requires it. \ better or more
substantial piece Of work does no5 exist in
the mining re gious of California. They have
passed through several small lodges cf
quartz rock having tho appearance G.. con-
tanning gold, but il is the intention II the
company TO continue running the tunnel un-
til they strike the basin OF the mountain, be-
ing well satisfied that they will find rich de-
posits to repay them tor the undertaking.
The company is composed Of one hundred
shares at one hundred dollars per share,
making capital Of ten thousand dollars. -
The work was commenced in Nay last, and
if the stockholders viii 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 Ions 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 IA good
stratum, and il properly managed, there is
Il 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 he
opened, SO that they may receive unmeas-
ured sluice-heads Of water without pay, ex-

Don't shoot. Mrs. Lord Byron,
with spirit Of charity that didn't
begin at home, has sent the bleeding,
believing, bullyragging, ablo-bodied
Kans-asses, sixty-fyc pounds, to get
themselves out Of their present awful
fix, but specifies that they mustn't
90 to buying shooting-irons and the
like o'that with the money, but must
act as near like dear, delightful civ
ilizcd creatures as they possibly can,
and provide themselves with billed
shirts, and provender, and quit fight
ing those horrid brutes the Border
RufIians. Oh dear! how shocking
it must be to that sensitive lady's
feelings to have those poor deluded
Americans who never had the benefit
of christian education, but have
been compelled to subsist upon such
game as the forests of Boston afford,
and in hunting Buffalo amid the wilds
of Cincinnati and st. Louis, and
now, poor dear savages are starving
to death, away out in Kansas, where
they can't get anything to eat but
" beef critters'' and johnny cake,
and are now only granted one hun
drcd and sixty acres Of land to live
and " b'eed" on.
How truly philanthropic and Jel-
leby-like are that noble widder's"
feelings, and how she must have
changed her tone since the days when
she couldn't stand the goings on Of
that brute OF a husband Of hers,
George Gordon Byron, who used to
write poetry and do other naughty
things that husbands oughtn't to do.
Lady Byron didn't feel very charita-
bic then, when she might have used
her kindness to some purpose. and
when there was an opportunity TO
heal a bleeding" heart, not with
money, oh no! but with that vastly
cheaper commodity, charity. Lady
Byron makes a poor atonement for
her hcartless treatment of her devO
ted lord, by making ostentatious con-
tributions to relieve such suffcrings
as are harpcd on as existing in Kan
sas, while the misery and want of her
fellow -countrymen 90 unnoticcd and
uncared for by herself and others of
her class.
If the soil of Kansas is worth
bleeding" 50 much for, it is worth
cultivating. and with less attention
to their Sharpe's rifles, and a good
deal more time spent IN the cultlva-
tion of their farms, those subjects
for British pity and charity will soon
place themselves far beyond the reach
of want. Those who have gone to
the new territories to " bleed,'' or in
other words to create civil war and
dissention, deserve no better fate than
ahat of lawless adventurers, while
the peaceable order loving citizens
can certainly gain a comfortable live
lihood by Industrious application to
their several vocations.
