INDIAN MURDERED.--Last week, says the
Mariposa Democrat of Thursday, on the bank OF
the Merced river, CyprianO, head Chief of the
Tuolumne tribe of indians, struck one of the
Merced Indians ever the head with club, and
with such force was the blow given that the
wounded Indian died on the spot. Cypriane
Immediately took to the mountains, pursued by
several Of the Mcrced tribe. Though wounded
in the breast with an arrow, he managed to
escape, aud all search after him has failed to
discover his hiding place. If caught, he will
certainly be killed by the relatives Of the de.
ceased, as this is the third Indian he has killed
belonging to the Merced tribe. CyprianO waf
drunk when he dealt the fatal blow.

Early knowisdge OF Gold I'm CALIFORNIA;.

1t has become pretty well established that
the existence Of rich deposits Of gold In CalifOr-
MIA was known to the Jesuits soon after their
missionary labors commenced on this coast.
They, however, carefully guarded and conceal
ed the fact of such treasures being within their
reach and patiently abided an opportunity for
its development. Whatever evidences are az
forded from time to time in regard to the pro-
gressive recognition Of the mineral resOrces Of
this part OF the continent possess peculiar inter-
est. Mr.. Young Anderson, Scotch gentleman
who has resided in Central America for more
than twenty years, was recently commissioned
by the Government Of Costa Rica to proceed to
New York in connection with Mr.. Webster, to
negotiate cession of the transit rights between
San Juan del Norte and the Pacific. Returning
from this unsuccessful mission, Mr.. Anderson
stated to a fellow passenger, on the steamship
George Lac. that in the year 1887, priest came
to Guatemala, and while on visit at the house
of Don Carlos Meany, proposed an expedition
to obtain gold in California. The plan present
ed was, that Mr.. Anderson, who was connected
in several enterprises with British capitalists,
should use his influence in furnishing funds to
ft out party Of twenty colonists to proceed to
San Francisco Bay. and explore river in that
vicinity, on the shores Of which gold had beer
found in the sands and crevices Of rocks. The
arrangement suggested was that the priest, his
friend in California. Don Carlos Meany and Mr..
Anderson, should be partners in the undertok.
ing. Numerous pieces Of gold, large aud small
were exhibited, aud it was stated that the ma
tives under the control of the Missions could
not defend themselves from the Indians OF the
mountains, having no sufficient arms or knowl-
edge of their use Mr.. Anderson shortly after
went to England and submitted the proposition
to his friends there furnishing full notes of the
interview with the priest, who was known to
Don Carlos, together with the strong recon-
mendation of the latter in favor of the scheme.
The project found little favor, however; the
capitalists were too distrustful to enter upon
the venture, and Mr.. Anderson had to submit
to severe rebukes for his credulousness. There
is no question Of the correctness Of the informa-
tion furnished by Mr.. Anderson, and had not
the opportunity thus presented for the promul-
CATION of the great truth in relation to the gold
of California been then defeated its realization,
which was so stoutly opposed and denied by
the London Times only eight or nine years ago,
would have been anticipated by nearly twenty
years, and England, perhaps, might have con-
trolled the destinies Of both the two great au-
riferous regions of the earth, California and
Australia.-State Journal

Az ANCIENT RIvRn-THE GREAT BLUE LEAD
or SIERRA COUNTY.-The most remarkable
among the many curious geological formations
of the northern mines, lie the famous Great Blue
Lead of Sierra county. This is not one OF the
many petty leads, an inch or two in breadth
ami thickness which. after being traced q iew
hundred feet. end as suddenly aud mysterlously
as they commence; but it is evidently the Ded
of some ancient river, II il often hundreds Of
feet in wedth. and extends for miles aud miles,
a thousand feet below the submits of high
mountains, and entirely through them Now it
crops out where the deep channels of some OF
the rivers aud ravines of the present day have
cut it assunder; and then, hidden beneath the
rocks and strata above it, it only emergcs again
miles and miles away. Wherever its continuity
has been destroyed. the river or gulch which
has washed n portion Of ii away. was found to
lie immensely rich, for some distance below.
and the materials Of which the lead is composed
are found with the gold Of the stream. 1t is
evidently the bed of some ancient stream be-
cause it is walled in by steep banks of hard bed
rock, precisely like the banks of rivers and
ravines in which the water now runs, and be-
cause it is composed of clay which is evidently
a scdimcntary deposit, aud of pebbles and
bonlders of black and white quartz, which could
only be rounded and polished as they are by
the long continued action OF swiftly running
water. The bedrock In the bottom OF this
lead s worn into long smooth channels, and
also has its roughness and crevices like other
river beds. The lighter and poorer qualities of
gold arc found nearest to its edges, while the
heavier and finer portions have found their
way 10 the deeper place, near the centre.
Trees and pieces of wood, more or less petritied
and changed in their nature, which once loated
in its waters, are also everywhere encountered
throughout this stratum.-[B Bulletin.

BIAcKwooD on NTcARAGUA-Some time ago
it was currently reported in Atlantic Dewspa-
pers that regular contributor to Bldckwood's S
Magazine was about to visit Nicaragua. and
would furnish the result Of his observations of
hlibusterism TO that world-renowned periodical.
We did not credit the rumor at the time. but a
recent article in the magazine proves its cor
rectness. The writer started from New Orleans
with the latest batch of recruits. and reached
Greytown just in time to find the San Juan riv-
er in possession Of the Costa Rioans. He was
therefore debarred from personal observation
of affairs in the interior, but makes up an in
teresting article descriptive OF his voyage and
fellow passengers, giving in addition an ex
tended aud very fair resume Of events in Nicara-
qua from the landing Of Walkers band Of fifty
six to the date of his own visit to Greytown.-
The conclusions he draws are decidedly in favor
Of ilibusterism. which be thinks the British Gov
ernmeut should encourage, as it would tend to
build up an independent Southern Republc-a
rival to the United States, by the permanent
existence of which, he asserts, the "aggressions'
of the great North American Republic can alone
be prevented, and limit be put to its extension.
