Mining Correspondence.

JACKSONVILLE, O. T. Feb 20, 1857.
hessrs Editors We have received no mails
from any point south of Yreka for about four
weeks. In the meantime, however; the mining
portion Of the community of this isolated section
of our venerable uncle's freehold have been reap
ing truly golden harvest. Atno time since the
fall and winter of '52 have our mining prospects
been so fair, or our miners SO prosperous.
Hydraulics ere now brought into roquisiton
here for the first time. 4 few miners from your
section Of country, who came in here last fall
have done more to develop the richness Of the
mines in this vicinity than our miners have for
the last two years. The mines on Jackson creek
are in great part worked by miners from Shasta
and Weaverville, while Sterling Applegatc Ev-
ans, Palmer and Galeese creeks and their tribu-
tarics are we'll represented by men from those two
noted mining localities
A few days since party of miners from Cali
fornia arrived here for the purpose of prospect
ing the Jacksonville flat. They Immediately
went to work and sunk n shaft in the street on
the north side of the Robinson House, and found
seven feet Of paying dirt. On the bed rock it
prospectcd from two to six bits to the pan. The
party are now digging tail race to drain the

Roads and Road Overseers.

For some two or three weeks past we have call
ed the attention of the road commissioner to the
condition of our roads The few facilities which
we might enjoy by proper repairs of the roads
and bridges Immediately to and from town. are
totally lost to the people, either by the unimpor
tance of the matter, or the neglect of the over
seers. There may be other reasons for this neg
lect but we have no knowledge of them.
But few days since, owing to the dilapidated
state Of the bridge on Oregon street and the
condition of which we have repeatedly called the
attention of the road oYerseer to, serious Incl
dent happened TO two Of our citizens, which
might have had consequence sad to record, had
il not been for the timely and manly aid extend
ed to the persons who slipped from the narrow
plank which is left to answer the purpose Of the
bridge, by Mr. p. Brogen and brother, who were
at work in the stream close by, and fortunately
saw the persons when they fell.
Where is all the road tax expended? If we
cannot get the road repaired we might possibly
succeed in getting those whose duty it is, to look
al it, if the Board of Supervisors would appropri
ate five hundred dollars for that special purpose

we believe, is the first shipment of native wines
to Northern California 1t is said to be choice
