MINING NEws-We have but little mining
news to chronicle. Most of the miners are now
throwing up, carting up, or taking dirt out of
tunnels, to wash during the coming winter
On Dutch Flat, near the Kentucky House, we
hear of rich strikes, but did not learn the par
ticulars. Messrs. Meeks & Lee, however, are
among the lucky ones. On last Saturday they
sold fifty ounces of gold dust taken out of their
claim in few days after the discovery. On
Central Hill, new strikes have also been made
in the claim of J. Atnelli & Co., but we have
not learned the particulars. Three or four ex-
tensive tunnel claims in Central Hill, and near
Mint Gulch are yielding fair wages. The hill,
just above dog Dog Point, is also being exten-
sively prospected with shafts and tunnels. One
tunnel has now been run night and day for over
eighteen months, into the solid ledge, which
will soon be through, when we may expect to
hear of rich strikes. The old bed of an ancient
river runs directly under the hill, and wherever
the channel has been struck, gold is abundant.
The quartz ledge running nearly north and
south, near the brick-yard is also being pros
pected with arastras, and we learn the yield is
quartz mill

BURBANK L MITcHELL's MISsTRELs.---On last
Sunday evening this unrivalled Company ap-
peared at Knickerbocker Hall, to very fair au-
dience, considering that the Company had to
contend againstthe ill-feeling and merited scorn
engendered by the San Francisco Minstrels in
general and Billy Birch in nparticular. The play
going people of this camp very seldom allow
themselves to be imposed on by travelling itin-
Grants, but when such thing does occur, it is
remembered. Messrs Burbank 4 Mitchell how
ever, came prepared to give good performance,
and they acted well their part. We were never
better entertained, by an exhibition, in Califor-
MIA. The performance was perfection not a
single mishap or word occurred to mar the har-
mony or good cheer of actors or audience The
"fun and frolic" manifested by sold Bob Rid
ley's" friends, was felt by all, and when /" the
manager" announced that it was the last per-
formance previous to their departure for South
America, all felt that it was a serious drac-
back
South AMERICAN CIRcus.-On Monday even
ing last Messrs. Shepherd & Adams Circus per-
formed in this place. The audience was not
large, but we'll pleased. The acting was supe
rior to Lee Bennetts Mammoth Circus, and
the price of admission only half as much. We
advise the clowns and others who perpetrate
the jokes and puns of the ring not to be so
broad IN their double entendres, or personal in
their ourlesques respectable ladies fire.
quentiy, unwittingly the victims of exhibitions
which are not worthy of mention, as a pass
able performance. The South American Circus
mas some OF the best riding talent in the State,
and Messrs. Shepherd Adams are both work
ing men and worthy of support. We under
stand their Circus will return this way some
time In the fall, when we hope a more liberal
patronage will be extended, as they deserve it.
PONY ExPREss.-Per Pony Express. we re-
ceived during the week, the Sacramento Union
and Journal. The Pony laid ON our table a
huge bundle of Atlantic States papers, over an
hour in advance of the mail. BY this arrange
ment, the citizens of Upper Calareritas. Old
Gulch, and other Camps on his route, receive
their papers by the time the mail arrives in San
Andreas Mere mention of these facts is suff-
eient to remind the residents of those Camps
that it is their duty to give the Pony" their
exclusive patronage
