Rich STRIKE.-Last week we mentioned about
the bed of an ancient river running through the
hill east of Dog Point and that a tunnel had
been run into the hill on which four hands had
been employed night and day for eighteen
months. The second claim east from the Dun
ming claim, is owned by Messrs. Marlette Cole
& Clark, and has been prospected for some
time without success Recently they sunk a
shaft one hundred feet and struck fair pros
pect, but as vein of water was crossed at
the depth of fifty five feet another shaft had to
be sunk to retain the water. Even this exped-
ent failed. The parties are now " curbing" the
shaft Yesterday we accidentally learned that
they have struck dirt which pays three ounces
to the pan. The gold is in coarse chunks
one piece was shown us which weighed over
two and three-fourths ounces. This is, no
doubt, the rich lead, and reduces our saying of
last week to certainty, that g we may soon
expect to hear of rich strikes" The Stockton
Argus will please take notice. This old river
bed is the richest lead of placer gold yet dis
covered in the county, and has built up San
Andreas to its present fourishing condition and
will always be fruitful source of wealth to the
miners of this vicinity

THE TURF.-On Monday last, q match race
was run on the San Andreas Course, between
"Colus Sam and Poker Sharp" six hundred
yards, in which the former beat the latter thirty
three feet. Previous to the above race, a sin
gle dash of six hundred yards was run by
Butcher Boy" against " Mazeppa, the former
beating the latter by five feet. There was good
sport and considerable betting, in small sums
The main stake of one hundred dollars, was
won by Mr.. Fish.
On Tuesday, another match race, same dis
tance, was made between I" "Mazeppa" and
John Gipin Joe Marshal named Mazeppa
and Bob Roberts John Gilpin, giving the for
mer ten feet in the start. The start was even
and Mazeppa came out thirteen feet ahead
beating John twenty-thrce feet. This race was
based on certain speed and skill, never heard
of at Tattersalls, experienced on last Fourth
of July morning returning from the Spring Val
ley House Ball. On that occasion, " Mazeppa
cleared Stevenson's bridge in taco jumps while
" John Gilpin," carrying ueights, was far be-
hind, oblivious to what was going on in this
suoiunary sphere, or the great feat just men,
toned. The party of the second part being in
credulous as to the q wondrous tale,' the race
was made to corroborate the assertion The
result of the race has proved the truth of the
story, and the oblviousness of the rider
Moral. Don't bet on opinions formed under
such circumstances person is apt to see
double. If Mr.. Philan. Freese has any more
like "Poker Sharp" Mr.. Fish says he is willing
