slope OF the Sierras. From Goose Greek
to Carson Valley the road is GOOD, except
that it passes nearly the whole distance
through sandy plains. 1t is the universal
expression of those who have crossed the
plains by this route, that considering the
distance, there could not be selected

Late from Carson valley.

Mr.. j. A. Thompson, the Carson Val
ley Expressman, left Carson Valley on
Thursday. sDecemher44tt and reached I Pi Ia
oerville on Monday night, December Sth.
On Thursday night, Mr.. Thompson
stopped at the cabin of "Uncle Billy
Rogers in Hope Valley. This cabin, as
many are aware, is upon the copper mines
discovered by Mr.. Rogers. A shaft was
first sunk in the summit of the hill, and a
specimen taken from it, and shown us by
Mr.. Thompson; it is extremely rich. Mr..
Rogers has now five persons at work run
ming tunnel into the hill from the side.
This also developes ore of a rich quality
There can be no question of the value of
the mine.
In Carson Valley, when Mr.. Thompson
left, there was about four inches of snow
and on the summit of the Sierras, for a
distance of about thirty miles, there was
a depth of three feet. For twenty miles
more on this slope, the snow was about
one foot and half No snow fell during
his journey, nor any rain until he reached

They report the existence of gold, which
prospects at S. to sS per day without
reaching the bed rock. In Spring they
design returning, but at present nothing
can be done, as it would be almost impos-
sible to reach the place with provisions.
The Mormons and Gentiles in the Val
ley are just now at peace, although the
boundary line question still excites good
deal of interest. The Mormons want the
Valley in Utah-the Gentiles, in Calfor-
MA. The Utah and California assessors
have both assessed the property, and the
consequence is that the owners will not
pay taxes to either.
Mr.. Thompson says that if by next sea-
son something is not done by Sacramento
and Placerville, towards opening the road
by the way Of Johnson's Cutoff, the travel
will so by the way of Murphy's. Mr..
Thompson came by the old Carson road.

To the Patrons of the "San Andreas
independent"

We, the undersigned, selected by the subscri-
bers and friends of the above paper beg leave
to report, as follows:
Acting under the powers delegated to us,
we resolved to establisha newspaper in the town
of San Andreas, to be devoted to the true
Interests of the public; one, through which
the people of our county could be heard, and
true issues impartially advocated and with
the aid of Mr.. George Armor, who selected the
materials, we have established the San 4ndreas
Independent, the second Nc. of which, we pre-
sent for your approval. Mr.. George Armor has
been selected to conduct the paper upon an in
dependent basis; how we'll he may fulfill his
mission, it is for the public to Judge To the
people, therefore, we say continue your friendly
aid; promptly meet your engagements, and we
guarantee the Independent to be, what we claim
for it, the friend of the miner, the farmer and
the mechanic, and the honest advocate of every
interest tending to the benefit of the people of
Calaveras county in general.

MORE CoAL.-We were invited last
Saturday, to look at bag of coal, brought
from the neighborhood of the coal discov
cred last year. about thirty miles from this
city. The coal exhibited was of an excel
| lent quality. The vein was discovered
about one hundred yards from the proposed
Stockton and Oakland Railroad route
where a tunnel is intended to be cut
through the mountain for the cars to mass
This discovery is Of great Importance to
the State, and particularly to this section
of California. The vein so far as examined
is five feet wide in clean coal with an
additional five feet surrounding it of coal
mixed with dirt. OF course. as Greater
depth OF the vein is reached an improve
ment OF the coal is expected, as such as Is
the peculiarity Of all coal mines. We
understand that as the vein now stands
coal can be furnished at the mine for 81
per ton. If the natural authorizations Of
the discoveries of the coal vein are realized
another source of wealth will be added to
California products, which will be of i'm
neHse advantage to our State Stockton
Argus.

STRIKE AMONG MINERs.-The miners
on the ridge from Cherokee to French Cor

general strike against the water companies,
and refuse to pay more than twenty-five
cents per inch for water. Primary meet
inos were held in the various mining
towns, and on Wednesday, Convention
was holden at San Juan to take measures
in the premises. This section of country
is the only one in the county where the
water is furnished all the year round.

frame winch las sprung up between Fraacisco the
East indies South America Pacific Isards and the Rus
sian and North British Possessions within the last ten
years, was ever.dreamed of
Again the writer says:
Should the principal route be constructed.
1t would not be long before lateral routes would
be built connecting the best mining and agr-
cultural regions with the great outlet.
"But III addition to the thousand advantages
to commerce of a great railroad through the
continent, we should Immediately have the tel
egraphs wires stretched along the route and
thus give kind of omnipresence to all the
news of the continent and the Pacific and At
lantic ocean shores"
Again, the route described in another
column, passes over a country whose great
est productiyeness is mainly midway be-
tween the mountains and the Pacific coast.
The road will connect great commercial
points every hundred miles, and pass
through an intervening productive coun-
try. The isolation of Great Salt Lake in
Utah Territory will vanish, and the hei-
nous sin Of poligamy will wither before the
refulgent rays of commerce and civiliza-
ton.
But political harpies, in this State, croak
against the enterprise, because their inter-
ests are located without the line through
which the road must pass. ''No good can
come out of Nazareth" because Nature
has made but one available Pass through
the Sierra Nevada Mountains, and their
/" lot is cast in a different section of the
State. Did any of them ever travel over
the railroad from Baltimore to Cumber-
land, and to the Ohio river? IF so, they
must concedc that human ingenuity and
American enterprise will overcome all OBJ
stacles. There are seven tunnels through
solid dlimestone-some ofthem three -fourths
OF mile in length-on the route from
Harper's Ferry to the river; and twenty
seven miles of the road, in Blue Ridge
gap, just above Harpers Ferry, cost more
than the whole railroad from Stockton to
Carson Valley can possibly cost, even at
California prices.
We ask an appropriation from the Cali
fornia Legislature of 1857, to build the
Wagon Road by the Big Tree route, and
the people on the route will meet them
half way in the expenditure Congress
will then be ashamed of her lethargy, and
come forward and help us, not only to
build wagon road, but to complete the
Pacific Ratlrood.

overbalance predisposed notions and plans
in reference to its completion. Had this
Pass been discovered, and the gold Of Cal
ifornia been known when the article from
which we quote was written, different
display of facts would have been the re-
suit. The writer does not compute the
Internal commerce and travel of the road.
but gives an exhibit of foreign trade-ex-
terror commerce-which would pass over
the road, as follows:
