LETTER FROM OLD GULCH.
OLD GULcH, March II, l8,

OLD OULCHj MdTCu IL, lO0f.
Mr.. Editor:-I have visited the mines at French
Gulch and Old Gulch, and find the miners
with plenty of water and all hard at work.
French Gulch from the head to its mouth, is
continuation of sluices, and all are doing we'll
averaging about eight dollars day; there are
also rich claims in the hills South of the gulch
all of which are being prepared to be worked
Claims command high prices, but those that
have them are not anxious to SELL | learned
that a one-ffth interest had been sold, in the
Daft claim, few days ago, for $500. Old
Gulch Camp is improving fast. A short time
ago there was but one store in the place, but
now it is quite town. The miners are all ac-
lively engaged, and their looks ominous of sue
cess The hills in this vicinity have as yet
been but little prospected, and there is plenty
of water running over them now, no doubt
there will soon be new and rich discoveries
made.
New D1GGrNGs.-Mr Spence struck new Dig
gings, within few days, on Spring Gulch, Sup
posed to be the Cisna Hill lode, as the claim
pays equally as we'll as the best on Cisna HILL
The Table Mountain Ditch is now within a
few hundred yards of Nornlan's Ranch, which
will soon be full of running water.

SToCK Messrs Mathews &
Sanderson, Of Stockton, have opened a
register which is to containin alphabetical
order the names of all stock owners in the
county of San Joaquin, together with their
places of residence, cattle brands, &c. By
the aid of this book, when completed, the
farmer and stock raiser will be able to des-
ignate all stray stock that may find its way
among his own. A stray book is also kept
by them, where farmers can post strays,
whether lost or found If owned in the
county, and branded, the brands and the
name of the owner can be ascertained in a
few moments In order to make the book
entirely efficient it will be necessary for
all owners of stock to register their brands
as soon as possible.

Mining News

REGULAR WEEKLY YIELD.-The regular weekly
yield Of the claim of Messrs Burroughs & Co.,
on Jenk's Flat, is $4,000 per share for three
hands-deduct $50 per week for Chinamen's
wages. The claim just above yields S225OO
per week, regular; no variation has been ex-
perienced in these claims the past few weeks.
GREAsER TowN.-The miners at this Camp
are now engaged in ground-sluicing the river
bars, preparatory for the Summer work. On
the West side of the river, are several tunnel
claims, worked by Italians, which pay from
three to eight dollars per day.
ONE THOUSAND OUNcEs-The Mcssrs. Forest,
took out of their claim at the Third Crossing
the past season over zone thousand ounces of
Gold Dust" Pretty good for one Summers
work
NUGGET.-Mr. David Robbins & Co. of Dog
Point, within the last fortnight took out a mug
get of solid gold weighing eight ounces lacking
four dollars. The piece was sold for $4,000
cash. The claim is also paying WELL
CHAPAREL HILL.-Bill Burgess and Bob. Rob-
erts took out of their claim Chaparel Hill,
last week, fourteen ounces and two dollars OF
amalgam after the gold was cleaned it weighed
! twelve ounces and one dollar. The above was
the result of one weeks work for three hands.

Private Coin.

! Mr.. Editor About a year or so back, the
San Francisco Bankers met together and pub
/ lished to the world that they would receive
California ten dollar pieces for ten dollars cash
of course every body was satisfied, because the
Bankers had issued the edict to that effect
accordingly us poor dupes took them at their
then valuation. But, presto change, when the
Bankers got the country flooded with this coin
(they themselves had issued and agreed to pay
out and receive it at the same rates down it
goes to So so The consequence is that the
miners, generally, are afraid to take the $50
pieces, and innumerable instances have occur
red where the holder has been charged one dol
lar to change them. This | think, in the face
of such facts, decidedly wrong if change is
to be effected in our coin, let those worthy gen.
tlemen gi due notice, so that it may become
generally known. If the Bankers are allowed
to rate the currency Of this State the sooner
the So pieces and every other species of coin
not bearing Uncle Sans imprint, is put down.
the better. We are tired of these petty public
swindles and swindlers; whether they be State
Officers, or private Bankers, the crime is the
same, and the working man is the loser, Just in
proportion to the amount his labor and enter
prise produces. Let US hereafter prefer using
Gold Dust, as medium of circulation, rather
than take the base coin of private assayers.
A MINER.
We very willingly admit the article of A
Miner" having ourselves suffered some of the
evils of which he complains. These private
" Gold Re6neries," ," q Assay Offices" q Smelling
Works" &C., have from time to time uttered
immense sums of private coin, which have in
variably been deprecated at the pleasure of
the San Francisco Bankers, much to the injury
of the merchants and traders of the INTERIOR
Just now another stupendous Smelling concern,
is opening; what kind of coin or bars they will
issue is not known but we warn miners against
any and every operation of the kind. The Uni
ted States Mint is the only safe concern. The
Torn Talk thus introduces the new shop:
SMELLING WoRKs.-Messrs Haraszthv, Uznay
& Co., have completed fine, large brick build
ing on the corner of Harris and Brannan streets
for the new smelling and gold refining works
This establishment is one of the curositcs Of
San Francisco.
'One of the curiosities of San Francisco" for
sooth, but not half as curious as the facility with
which these same concerns impose on the peo-
pie, through the Bankers, in depreciating their
own issues. We also hear another private Mint
is to be established. Shouldn't wonder, when
the privileges of depreciation are so well de-
fined by precedent; fee per cent. per month, is
good interest at any time, on a small sum, but
but when it is received on millions, it is NUM-
fcently magnificent.

New COUNTY OF MoKELUMNE. = In
the Legislative proceedings of Friday, the
18th inst, we notice the following:

NEW COUNTY OF M0KELUMNE. - In
the Legislative proceedings of Friday, the
18th inst, we notice the following:
PET1T1oN.-Mr. Aull-Praying for the ferma-
ton of new county out of portions Of San
Joaquin, Calaveras, Amador and Sacramento
counties Referred to Committee on Counties
and County Boundaries.
Does Mr.. Aull wish to represent Gala
veras county in this matter? IF so, he can
easily learn that we are opposed to the
movement. Our County Seat, Mokelumne
Hill, is already almost out of the county,
In that direction, being within less than a
mile of the Amador line. Should this
bill pass, it would leave the County Seat at
the extreme Northwest point of an acute
angle, so narrow, that our citizens on Court
week, would have to pass into town, single
file, not to cross the County borders; in
fact we do not know but the bill might
lop off our great County Seat altogether,
and leave US, Juridically, without habi-
tation OF namel By all means, Doctor,
leave us our County Seat = tbs all we have !?
it is our ballast and main-sheet-anchor !!
without it we would certainly capsize,
the first squall, from insufficient time to
"trim ship" The Stockton Argus says !:
We understand that the people near the boun-
dairy line of our county which is intended to be
cut off, are bitterly opposed to this movement,
and upon learning that such movement was on
foot, have denounced it in unmeasured terms.
San Andreas independent., 1857-03-21

WELLS, FARGO & Co.-Mr. Joseph Knight, of
Wells, Fargo & Co. has also been unremitting
in his misunderstanding us a copy of the
Sacramento Union each morning-and files of
San Francisco papers in the afternoon. By the
way 'Joe is at home' in the new Saloon, fire
proof building, next door to the old Office where
he will be happy to see all his friends. We
noticed several mysterious casks and boxes
"relled in' bearing the ear-marks of g original
pschage" designs, put on in England, France and
Germany-which of course were unpronounce-
able to US. friend suggested that they con-
tanned choice English Ales, French Brandies
and Holland Gins-the Spanish Cigars were all
right-as sample will easily prove it. We are
glad to see Joe" in e-proof building, where
with the Express office, Telegraph office and
Saloon, he will be able to accommodate his

HgB@ JAMES NJ. CRANE, the great Lecturer of
Judges eminent scientific ability is now receiv-
ing mcrted attention. His Lecture at Mokel-
umne Hill, we learn, received generous sup
port. The Judge advances the idea that the
Bay of San Francisco is of recent date,-being
but one hundred and fifty years old. We differ;
many of the auloae shells, now clinging to
rocks, in the Bay, are older than that. The
Judge will not hazard an opinion on the geolog-
ical formations Of the Gold Region, very COR
rectly advancing the belief, that no theory can
govern mining operations, or trace the hidden
gold deposits.

Vide West newspaper, called on US last week,
while on prospecting tour, canvassng for the
paper We were pleased to receive the visit,
but can hardly forgive the modesty of the
youthful editor for keeping UP an in cog while
IN the Independent office. The Vide Vest is one
OF the best papers in the State and has always
labored on the right side to assist in correcting
the evils which well nigh engulphed US some
time since. The pictorial department of the
Vide Vest is worth twice the price of subscrip-

DANCING ScHooL.-Thursday night last, an
other dancing lesson was given at Knickerbock-
er Hall, by Messrs. Cronk & Richmond. The
school was well attended-some twenty ladies
and forty gentlemen were present, and partici-
pated in the gaieties of the dance, until late
hour. Quite an improvement in the way of
dancing and good cheer was manifested, on ac-
count Of the presence of number of ladies
and gentlemen from Upper Calaveritas. Mrs.
and Miss Paullin, of the Potter Troupe, also at
tended, and freely joined in the dance and jovi-
al amusement of the occasion. The Waltzing
of Miss Paullin attracted general attention and
received universal admiration. One more les
son finishes the school, this quarter. We hope
new school will be subscribed, as the amuse-
ment is now but fairly commenced, while scho-
lars having become acquainted with each other
can take advantage of the first quarter to learn
new dances with more facility and greater con-
fdence and advantage during the second.
