The River Claims.

The Cape claim-the most extensive of
any on the river, being some $500 feet in
length--is drained and the hands are en-
gagged in taking out and washing the rich
dirt. On Sunday, bucket of dirt was
washed which yielded $4,000 We have
been informed that the product of three
"toms" which were worked during night
before last, was found to be about 240 oun-
ces, and we heard it predicted yesterday
that the result Of the twenty-iour hours
work would be at least $50, 1000! This would
be most unprecedented yield and rich as
we suppose the claim to be, we rather think
the estimate is somewhat extravagnnt

it will prove u very profitable Investment

NhteI Justice
Pursuant to adjournment on Monday eve
ming, 2lst, 1851. the members Of the Bar OF
Butte county met at the Court House, where
upon the Committee on Resolutions reported
the following:
Ma CHAIRMAN THE committee to whom
was delegated the task of preparing resolu-
tions expressive of the sense Of the Bar OF
Butte on the occasion of the death Of the
Hon. II. C. Hurray Chief Justice of the Su-
preme Court of California, beg leave TO re-
port the following
PREAMBLE AND RESOLUTIONS:
WHEREAS, The melancholy intelligence
has reached us of the death of the Hon Hugh
G. Murray. Chief Justice If the Supreme
Court of the State of California. and
WHEREAS, II is meet and becoming for
the Bench and Bar of this county to mite in
expressing the sentiments which Cypress
them upon 80 sorrowful an occasion, There.
fore be it
Resolved, That the Bench and Bar Of
Bate county have heard with unfeigned re-
greet and sorrow, of the distressing visitation
Of Providence which has thus suddenly cut
off from our midst the Chief Judicial officer
of this State
Res0iued, That in Hugh C. Murray the
Bench of the Supreme Court has lost its
most vigorous intellect, its ripest jurist, and
its most independent Judge.
Eesolred. That the people of the State
are called upon to mourn for n man full Of
the noblest impulses, actuated by the finest
feelings of friendship towards his associates,
and erring only from the generosity OF a
frank and noble nature
Resolrcd, That the departure of one so
young and gifted, for the dark valley and
the narrow house, appeals to those who are
still spared, to prepare for their long jour
ney to that relentless bourne, convinced
that if high pnstion mnntully won, great
talents universally resp cted, approved use
funess in splendid devel pmcnrs, can afford
no shield to the shafts of death, that they
ought to expect no exemption when these
are all struck down aud buried in the grave
of Hugh c. Murray.
Resolved, That we tender to the afflicted
family of the deceased in their distant homes,
the only consolation we can offer, that Of
grief in common bereavement, and That as
n mark of respect for the Chief Justice OF
our Supreme Court, we wear the customary
badge Of mourning for thirty days.

A Serious Fire.

A fre broke out about one o'clock yester-
day morning in building just without the
limits Of the town on the Lynchburg road,
whereby considerable property was destroy
ed and several persons were left without
their homes and places of business. The fire
originated in building owned aud occupied
by Mr. Coleman as a dwelling house -
From Coleman's house the flames communal
Gated to building occupied by Robert Con-
reg as drinking house and owned by VIM.
Coffey. The dwelling house and shop of Mr..
Gridley-a carpenter--next caught, from
whence the flames crossed the road TO the
house of Mr. Boucher and his wife. that oc
cuped by Mr.. Firth, and the residence OF
the Rev. Mr. Burton which were oil bu' ned
to the ground. Other dwellings in the vi
cinity were only saved by the exertions Of
the Butte Engine Company and the neigh
bors and others who we're on the ground
The amount of property destroyed is val
ued in the aggregate at $4,000 or therea-
bouts. The figures as they are furnished us
by one of the losers are as follows:
VIM. COtfey. ...........,...... S0OU
MT Coleman. .................... SoOO
Mr. Grldley. ................ SlOOU
Mr Boucher. S4OU
Mr. Firth. ................... S4OU
Rev. Mr.. Burton. ............. Sou
Various mining appurtenances, sluices,
&c, were only saved by letting on stream
of water from the ditch and the hard work
of those near by.
The loss of their houses falls very heavi-
ly upon some of the sufferers, among whom
who have lost their all. Mr.. Boucher is
rendered almost helpless by an attack OF
palsy, and Mr. Gridley is for the third time
in California reduced to penury by fire. Pc.
ttions for these sufferers have been put in
circulation which it is to be hoped will be
literally subscribed to by our citizens
The Buttes' were on hand at the first
tap of the bell, and rendered efficient SER

the northeast and directed the flames away
from the town cabin situated on the
bluff some distance below the scene of the
confagration was burned What the dam.

blown from the south the town would have
been in great danger. The fire is supposed
to have been the work of incendiaries, aud
two suspected men were arrested yesterday
