SnERLocg's CREEK, Aug. lst., 1851
Ny DEAR DEMocRAT-Yoar correspondent had the
pleasure of visiting tie new quartz mill just completed

run by horse power aud which will commence Il
crush the glitterng rock this week. The building is "a

Is entirely new and looks well il will run four stamps
each stamp weighing five hundred pounds-they will
rise eight inches and make thirty-six strokes pei
minute. Four hors will lie workedat time To keeT
the mill running. The whole cost of the mill will
probably be about 81 900 To the right of the mill i
beautiful spring. from which water il conveyed by
undergr und pipes to the mill, and the supply is suli
cient for their grinding purposes
This company have about one hundred and eighty
tons of rock ready for the mill which they think viii
average $50 per ton and il is to be hoped that they
will meet with the success that they deserve
Proceeding on my tramp soon arrived at Whit
locks camp, and after refreshing myself at Mr.. Sleg
mans clear cool spring, continued on my way u
Goodman, Dlltz & Co.'S quartz mill at the mouth o

but owing 10 its scarcity now they crush but yer, III

tors, kindly showed me all the different parts and
workin s OF the MILL Piles of rock are lying before

everywhere. They have out about six hundred tom
of rock for crushing this winter Mr.. G. exhibited

of one hundred feet and it is much harder than that
above, yet still it is quite rich. have many
rich veins in the northern part Of the State but thinh
this one viii tally compete with any OF them. The
company are still getting out rock for this winter ant
are making preparations to build another mill short
distance below the one they are now running. They
expect to crush one hcndrcd tons Of rock per day
with the two mills, during the wet season. This com
pany has been very perseverng and deserve the rcl
reward that they at present have the prospect of reap
ing They have had much to contend with in open
ing their various leads, and the scarcity of water
in this section of the country has also been great
drawback to their success, which as Industrious anc
energetic gentlemen they deserve.

MIerced aud MnrIposn nitch.

Preliminary steps are now being taken for
the formation Of Water Ditch Company un-
der the above name or title. Mr.. C. X. Peter
son, Civil Engineer, having completed the line
of survey for canal from the Yosemite Val.
ley to the head Of Mariposa Creek has now
directed his attention to the running Of line
of survey from the gap at the head of Burns
Creek, to some point on the main Merccd Rv-
or, at or near the mouth Of Saxton's Creek
Mr.. Peterson was in town on last Friday,
and we had the pleasure of eonversng with
him on the practicability and feasibility of the
route. 1t appears that he has progressed as
far as Sherock's Creek with his line of alti.
tude, and pronounces the line thus far as being
without any serious distractions, as the Ditch
can be dug most Of the way, and that very
little 1uming will be required. The water
from this Canal, if ever completed, will water
the mineral lands of the Peone, Hornitos and
/ Quartzburg Dstricts-three Of the richest mi
ming sections in the County-and without
doubt three Of the most extensive fields for
mining operations in the State. Two hundred
thousand dollars will be sufficient to construct
this Ditch, as its length will not exceed sixty
miles, as character ofthe ground through which
it will pass being peculiarly adapted for
either huming or dtching, and will hold the
water with but little liberation. The surface
bed rock is all decomposed to a certain extent
and yields readily to the pick, aifording Sc
cure and lasting channel for the water during
the summer and winter months. With Major
McNcal's Ditch supplying the central mines in
Mariposa County, and with this canal afiording
the water for the miners to work the ravines
in these diggings, we have every reason to cx-
pect that in short time after they are put in
operation, the financial condition Of the State
will be improved, and general prosperity pre-
vail in the Counties adjoining the two dry
Counties of Merced and Marposa.
We have not the siace to spare in this
weeks issue to elucidate the vast importance
that will accrue to Stockton and San Francis
co by the construction Of these two Canals,
but we are fully persuaded that ten million OF
dollars would be annually taken out of the
ravines in Mariposa County if we had only
water to wash the dirt. That this Ditch will
be started and completed we have not the
shadow of a doubt The richness Of the mines
justify its construction, and the line of survey
has demonstrated its practicability, and more
than ali, the emergencies of the times demands
that this Canal must be made. 1t is needless
to talk about the difficulties in the way--want
of capital and want of energy in Mariposa
County--it will be managed in some shape
or form, or we are much deceived in the pre-
sent aspect of affairs.

Democratic County Convention.

According to previous notice Delegates from
the various Precincts met in Convention on
last Saturday, in the town of Mariposa, for the
purpose of nominating candidates to fill Coun-
ty offices. Capt Powell was elected Chair.
man and Arthur W. Jee Secretary. The pre-
cincts were all fully rcpresented-and from
Indian Gulch, Old Horntos, Bondville, Coul-
terville and Coward's Store, two sets of Dele
gates offered themselves for seats in the Con-
vention.
After the meeting was fully organized, a
committee of one Delegate from every uncon-
tested Precinct was appointed TO decide upon
credentials, after which the meeting adjourned
until 4 o'clock, P. NJ, to give the committee
time to report. When the Convention met in
the evening, the committee having only deci.
ded upon the credentials Of the Bondville dele.
gates, (said to be in favor of Mr.. Crippen for
Sheriff) the Convention adjourned over until
Monday in order to give time for the commit
tee to report in full
MONDAYS SESSION.
The Merced Delegates TO the number of fif-
teen, claimed the right Of having one Assem-
blyman, and on this ground they based their
right to vote on the report of the committee
on credentials which was conceded to them
by the Convention after considerable argument
by both wings Of the Convention. The com
mittec on credentials, or a majority thereof,
reported in favor of the Crippcn Delegates
from Indian Gulch Precinct, and in favor Of
the Pool Delegates from the Old Ilornitos and
Coultervillc. The minority report giving the
whole four disputed Delegated votes of the
four Precincts, viz: Bondyie, Coulterville
Indian Gulch and Old Ilornitos, TO Pool was
received by the Convention, the Merced Dele
gates voting on the report. An angry debate
followed the whole course Of the proceedings
through the Convention, and after nominating
Mr.. I. N. Ward of Merced County, and Daniel
Showalter of Mariposa County, as Democratic
nominees for Assembly, the Convention ad-
journed sine die.

vcntion.
Pursuant to previous notice. the Delegates from
Fresno and Tnlare counties met in Convention on
Saturday, the 18th day of July, in the town Of Vi
sala, for the purpose Of nominating Democratic
candidate for the next Legislature.
The Convention was called to order by Jud,e John
A. Cutler, the Chairman Of the Tulare Democratic
Central Committee, who having briefly addressed the
Convention, stated that the Convention was ready
to organize whereupon on motion Of II. Clark, E.u..
Clark loxie was called to the chair and H. A. Carroll
Of Fresno and II. N. Carol Of Tuare were appointed

Enloc, and - Freeman Of Tulare
On motion the Convention took recess Of one hour
to enable the committee to examine credentials.
AFTERNOON SESSION.
The Convention was called to order at "a o'clock,
and the committee, through their chairman, II. Clark
Esq, submitted the following report That the coun-
ty of Fresno was entitled to nineteen votes and the
county Of Tuare eighteen, which was excepted to by
the Tulaw committee. Thercupon Sam. W. Beckham
Of Tuare offered resolution that two delegates be
struck from the Fresno delegation, and addressed the
Convention at length urging that as the county Of
Fresno acquired her majority in the Convention by
reason Of a greater number Of precincts, she should
only be allowed delegates for the same number of pre-
cncts as were in Tularc.
The resolution was opposed by Mr Sayles and Judge
Clark of Fresno, who replied in arguments of length
and ability, and after great deal Of discussion on
both Sides Mr. Saycs red the following amend
ment to the resolution That whereas it appears that
Fresno county has two more precincts than Tulare
county and Is entitled to two votes, and that at
one Of the precincts in Tuare county for which two
votes were clamed it appeared that no votes at all
had been cast at the last election any poll opened
Therefore resolved. that two votes be disallowed %
Fresno county. and that two votes he disallowed Tu
lare county. After a great deal Of debate for and
against the same it moved and seconded that the
resolution be adopted, but before the vote could be put
Mr.. Freeman Of the Tdlare delegation and represent
ing Kern river declared that he would leave the Con
vention unless a candidate from Kern river received
the nomination, and az he knew the vote would be in
favgr of candidate from Fresno he would leave the
Convention He was followed by the rest Of the Kern
river delegation, and the Convention thereupon broke
up, Capt T. Maltby's name being announced by Mr.
Freeman as an Independent candidate from Kern riv
er. The Fresno delegation being left alone returned
70 Fresno county without taking any further proceed
ines, for the purpose OF holding County Convention
of their own. CARELESS.
