ANOTHER RICH STRIKE --Messrs. Brown
Smith, and partner, on Wednesday last, says
the Union Democrat, found decayed quartz
vein, near Tuttletown, which, so far, has
proved about as rich as they generally get
to be- The vein is small, only few inches
in thickness, and composed of clay, dirt, rot
ten quartz and gold, and that too, in larg-
or proportion than either of the other ma
terial. Some Of the clods of clay seemed to
be nearly all gold. On Thursday. they took
cut about two thousand dollars. with very
little labor. This lead was discovered in the
surface while washing with sluices, and its
discovery goes to show how great our quartz
mining resources are.

perfectly formed, and is large and healthy.

The Lost Steamer.


ater.logged, leaky old hulk, has gone
down to the bottom Of the ocean, with four
hundred and forty unwilling supporters of
the most monstrous monopoly that ever
made business of freighting human lives
An old worn out ship, that two years ago
was pronounced unseaworthy, was given an
alias and coat of paint and sent out upon
the high seas, to entrap unwary travellers
upon the deep, and she has done a success
full business The venture proved good
one; and If their customers did find fault,
and prate of bad food. and surly officers, and
damp berths, the old hulk made prosperous
voyages; and what il she was little old,
and her machinery worn out, she made
money for her owners and just as much of
it as would new and safe one Her owners
advertised her as splendid and staunch and
commodous," and saw eager crowds OF
freight rushing to their office to buy chance
to drown, and chuckled over the success OF
their shrewdness and business tact.
But the new name and fresh paint on the
old craft were powerless to save her long,
and now the big waves roll over where she
and four hundred and forty men went down
forever. This was o melancholy occurance,
and great loss to the company, for they
must either fit out another of their "staunch
old ships" or go the great expense of build
ing new one.
But who can blame the sorrow stricken
owners Have not numerous other disasters
been reported on the Atlantic, 1.-THE effects
of this gale, the most violent is said, that was
ever known" And then do not "all the
passengers tthat were not drowned) agree
in awarding great praise to her captain and
officers" and in pronouncing the lost ship,
some of the staunohest sea boats afioat" and
is it not accorded that the "terrble disas-
ter can only be attributed to circumstances
beyond human control" All these state
ments are brought us by one of the steamers
that has escaped the perils of the ocean, and
in the particular charge of one Of the faith
ful attaches of the Company. They must be
accredited. 1t would ruin the monopoly's
business, destroy the confidence of the pub
lie, and what is worse, that of the insurance
companies if they should not be believed
People i'll natured, garrulous people-would
cry that the boats were unsafe, that the
public had better travel to and from Califor-
MIA by other routes, and perhaps rival COM
panies would be formed and the travel be d.
verted from their line
We are curious to know how long the peo-
pie are going to travel upon leaky steamers
that "owing,to circumstances beyond human
CONTROL" are unprovided with servicable
pumps How long are the shippers of gold
and treasure, and those monied men whose
business calls them to frequent voyages to
and from the East, going to be governed
and tyrannized over by this company of
numbering monopolists' How much longer
is human life to be risked and sacrificed to
the interests of that incubus upon our pros
perity, the Pacific Mail Steam Ship Compa-
ny? Theirs are "Cofin Steamships in
