his fate that awaited the steamer. but he
scorned to desert his charge, and preferred
dying to surviving the disaster. But with
death staring him in the face he could not
but think of his family. and he entrusted
his watch TO Mr.. Pavne. to be presented
to his wife as a token of affection. The
fate of the gallant Herndon will long be

Work for Next Year.

Already have our river miners commenced
laying out their work for the coming year.
BY reference to our advertising colums, it
will be seen that a company has been formed
the officers Of which are among the most en-
terprising and competent capitalists of this
and Yuba counties, having in actual purpose
the fuming of five thousand feet Of the Main
Feather river A mile of continuous fume!
The Cape claim has been the wonder of the
State both for its magnitude and the perfec-
tion with which it has been managed in its
every detail Now courageous company
contemplate work nearly double its extent,
and the character of those who have under
taken to push it through is an assurance
that if such monster project can be accom-
plished in single season, these are the men
to do it. 1t is indeed gratifying circum-
stance to see men of means and energy using
their capital so extensively toward the de-
velopment of our county's resources The
way once opened by such leaders, others are
sure to follow.
The company alluded to above, is by no
means the only one already organized for
the purpose of robbing old Feather of her
treasures. Higher up the river is the claim
of the Golden Gate Company, itself twenty
nine hundred feet in length, and above and
below this latter arc located others of great
extent. Indeed, disastrous as the river has
proved to some of the miners this year, u
greater amout Of huming has been planned
for the next, than ever before. The miners
know what a storehouse of gold the old river
has hidden in her bed, and never will she
rest until she yields up her treasure.
The confidence and readiness with which
these great plans are begun and car
ried on, signifying the presence of most in
domitable spirit of enterprise, and the exist
ence of that species Of perseverance which is
sure to eventuate in the success of the un-
dertakers and tbs benefit Of the community
at large. The same spirit which generates
these magnificent and stupendous plans is
the one from which has begun the great
prosperity and wealth Of which Butte coun-
ty will eventually be enabled to boast.
