CHIsPAs.-Mr J. S. Marlette, few days ago,
showed us fine lot of specimens about $500
worth---in pieces varying from five dollars up
to two and a-half ounces. They were taken
out of the claim located on Dog Point on the
old river channel and which we mentioned
some two weeks ago that one-sixth interest
had sold for 81 500. But a small quantity of
dirt has been taken out during the past sea-
SON. owning to the inconvenience and delav
necessarily occasioned in opening the claim ::
but the dirt taken out has paid very largely,
Notwithstanding the cemented nature of the
pay-dirt-not having had sufficient time to
slack, which prevented its being thoroughly
washed the first time. The proprictors are of
the opinion they did not obtain much over
one-half the gold in the dirt, as they picked
up pieces of cement that had washed through
the sluices in which they found pieces of gold
as large as half an ounce. In this claim there
is large breadth of pay dirt; yet the streak
which contains the coarse gold is only about
eight feet in width and appears to run in a
zigzag course, SO that in running straight
drift they only touched it in places But the
sample shown us gives some Indication of
what may be expected when it comes to be
thoroughly worked.

From CARSON VALLEY.-T. J. Hail. who
resides at Gold Canon, Carson Valley, arrived
in Placerville, says the -Argus of December
9th, on Friday. There were about two feet
and half of snow at Silver Creek, when he
came through, and on Thursday night, at
Brockliss' bridge, it commenced showing very
hard. He is of opinion that the present storm
will effectually close communication with the
Wiley, except by means of snow shoes. Our
informant met Dorsey at Slippery Ford,
on his return to the Valley. John Trumbull
was married, last Sunday, to a daughter of
Col. Reese. Rodgers party have been reduced
to three men. Jim the "bg Indian" of the
Washoes, told Mcfarland that he knew of
two more Indians who were concerned in the
murder of his brother, and that Ihe intended
deliver them over to the whites.
Hall says there are about sixty Americans
and some forty Chinese engaged in mining at
Gold Canon, but at present they are doing
little for the want of water. One company,
however, Caldwell h Co.. is making twenty
five dollars per day to the hand, with rockers
He is of the opinion that the mines around
the Valley are equalto any placers now worked
in California, it they had the same facilities
for working them. He has prospected plenty
OF dirt that yields ten cents to the pan, and
nearly every place in the Valley would pay
good wages if they had water. The Chinese
company went to an outlay of several thousand
dollars, last season, in digging canal, but
owing to the ignorance of the party who
planned it, they never derived any benefit
from it. Next season they design digging
another canal. The gold on that side of the
summit is thought not TO be so valuable as in
California, it selling at $l2 so per ounce.

"LAsT OF THE FILLIBUsTERs"- This is the
title of book containing near one hundred
pages, which has been handed us by Messrs
L. j. Oppenheimer, agents, of the "Cigar
and Fruit Store" Main street. We have had
time merely to glance through it. 1t appears
to be written in very smooth and interesting
style, and the author, Mr.. Frank Stewart, J
says in the preface thought by telling the
whole story,-the truth and nothing but the
truth,-in relation to recent transactions in
Nicaragua, | might thereby lift veil from the
eyes of the unwary youth of the land, and be
instrumental in rescuing many good fellow
from the poisonous snares which are now be-
ing laid to draw fresh victims into the hungry
jaws of Unsuitable ambition" From what we
have noticed of the work, we think it well
worthy of perusal. The book is for sale, by
the agents, at 50cts per copy.

Messrs. Editors AS know you will feel
pleased to hear of our continued progress, in

nounce the starting of another quartz mill in
our midst-that of Messrs. Baker, Socum &

appearances works most satisfactorily We
have also good supply of water here at this

face mining is at once perceptiblc thus this
thriving locality may bid fair for permanent
success whilst her hardy and industrious pop

should expect in a country obtained by their

sion of those some of whom discovered the
very treasure which now enhances our great
