The ship Lucas, Capt. Daggett, from Vieto-
ria, was wrecked at the Farralones, on Wednes-
day morning, the 10th inst, and quite num-
Der of lives lost. The ship struck on the rocks
about 2:30 A. NJ, in thick fog, Immediately
commenced filing, and in the course of an
hour had sunk up to the fore yard and COM
menced breaking mp. The passengers were
landed in boats and by means of ropes attached
to the shore, there being heavy surf on at the
time When they we're all landed excepting
twenty-five. heavy sea washed over the ship,
and carried overheard fifteen OF them; all of
these were drowned--the rest were clingng to
the main rigging A Kanaka attempted to
swim from the shore with rope, but could not
succeed in reaching the ship. Those on shore
then hove small line which was caught by
those remaining in the rigging. when they were
all hauled ashore through heavy surf; Capt
Daggett being the last to leave the ship. The
number of passengers on board the Lucas, was
ITS, and the number lost is variously estimated
at from fifteen to thirty. Among the passen.
gers were five women, who were first taken
ashore in a boat. AS the names of only about
half the passengers are on the passenger list, it
will perhaps be impossible to ascertain the
names of the lost.

school Trustee. Report.

From the annual report of the School Trus-
tees Of this district, made to the County Super
intendent, we gather the following particulars:
The total number of pupils in the district en-
titled by residence, to enter the public school,
Is 2S7 OF this number, 17S have attended more
or less during the elk months the school was
open, while the average daily attendance has
been 10. OF the 100 scholars who have not at
tended the public school, it is probable that
more than half have attended the private school
kept by Mr.. StrattOn. The teachers are each
paid $l00 month, and the total amount paid
to teachers during the year, was $l,l50, of
which $S5l,5O was paid from the school fund,
and $29s,5O was raised by an assessment of
twenty-five cents week on each scholar while
in attendance. or the whole number attend
ing the school, 95 were boys and SO re girls
The months selected for the school. from April
to October, were deemed most favorable for the
attendance Of children. We make the follow
ing extract from the report:
"At the commencement of the year, Nov. LIST
1857, q debt Of $929,l7 existed against the
school house, in favor of j. N. Turner, for the
lumber used in its construction. This sum has
been paid ia full, and the Trustees are happy
in being able to announce that the school build.
ing is entiiely free from debt. The whole cost
of the school lot ard building has been paid
amounting to $2408 IL in cash, besides the lot
formerly owned by the district on Main street.
which was conveyed TO G. b. Walker in part
payment of the carpenters work. Valuing
this lot at 5000. the entire cost of the present
lot and building, amounts to $300S,l7. 1t is
believed that the revenue from the school fund
will be amply sufficient for the next year to
support two schools for a term of six months
each, without resorting to an assessment of the
scholars as during the past year."

A PANTHER SHoT.-The Yreka Union, of
Thursday last, relates the following:
On Tuesday evening last the family Of Mr.
White. seven miles this side Of Soda Springs.
Was aroused by an unearthly noise outside the
house, and started from their beds to ascertain
the cause. On going out doors they perceived
that the noise proceeded from pine tree near

young calves in the mouth of some animal, but
what IL was they could not discover in the dark
ness. Henry White. having brought out his ri

calf, ard along with it the largest panther ever
shot in this country, measuring from the nose
to the tail (the latter not includcd) nine feet
and three inchrs. White and his son. after the
latter bad fred and the animal came thunder
ing down from the tree, struck a sudden stam-

done the work.

THE GILA MINEs.-L. w. Hastings, in letter
to J. G. Robinson, dated at Arizona city, Nov.
I'd, says in regard to the Gila mines
'Our gold mines have really proved the won
der of the age. They are, beyond doubt. the
richest gold diggings on the continent. and they
are unlimited in extent. The entire country
from the Milk Ranch to Snively's, has been full
ly prospected, is very rich aud is now literally
alive with miners--all Of whom are daily clear
ing from five dollars to twenty-five dollars to
the man. Some extraordinary strikes are be-
lug daily made. 1t is not uncommon for per-
sons now. 90 take out from two to three hun
dred dollars in a few minutes; and astonishing
to say, the dirt in the valleys pays well from
the surface to the depth OF twenty or thirty
feet.
My information rs to the mines is derived
partly from others, but chiefly from personal
observation. went up . short time since, in
the night, aud devoted the following day to q
close examination OF the mining operations for
two or three miles around; and l assure you
the various results far exceeded my expecta-
tions. went to the head OF some of the guleh-
es and ravines. where the bed drock ia visible It
the surface, and where. to my utter astonish-
ment, found miners actually picking up tho
coarse gold with their fingers at the rate Of ten
or fifteen dollars dollars per minute"
Accounts similar to the above. are becoming
quite common, and miners should be cautious
how they place reliance in them. There can
be no doubt that interested parties are endeav-
oring to get up an excitement in regard to the
Gila mines, for the purpose of inducing emf
grafton from California to that country. The
accounts are altogether too extravagant to be
reliable.

closed up their business for want of patronage.

A SHOOTING APFAR.-Oscar Case, q driver
iu the employ Of the California Stage Co., was
shot near the town of Nicholas, last Sunday, by
man named Ames, who was passenger in
the opposition stage. Ames was riding on the
seat with the driver aud was armed with
double-barreled shot gun. II appears that on
the road there WAS some emulation between the
drivers and Case had once or twice run into
the opposition stage. and came near tipping it
over. About mile below Nicholas be again
run against the etage, getting the wheels lock-
ed, in such manner that there was no oppor-
tunity for escape. Ames then fired at Case,
the shot taking effect in the back. He then
left the coach, and took to the tules. Case still
kept his seat, aud started back towards Nicho-
las, bnt after going short distance he was
compelled from faintness to stop his horses and
get off his seat. He Was found shortly after
wards by two men on horseback, who got q
buggy aud took him to Nicholas. At last ac-
counts Case was alive, but his wounds are
thought to be mortal. The gun with which he
was shot was loaded with slugs and shot. The
charge entered under the shoulder and same
out in front. We learn from the driver Of the
Marysv;lle stage that Ames was arrested that
evening and brought to Nicholas.
Two different versions of this affair have been
published; one of which would make the shoot
ing justillable. and the other would make it a
case of wilful murder. The facts will not be
clearly known until the matter undergoes le-
gal investigation.
