sCHOICE FIRST-CLASS INSURANCE
The Nevada Democrat., 1858-06-09
A RixaI to San rrnns,soo.

Should the Frazer river mines prove as valua-
BILE and extensive as there ia now good reason
to believe, it will have the effect to build up
large commercial city at some point on the
north Pacific coast which eventually will rival
San Francisco. 1t is not easy to determine
where this town will DO located, though it is
generally believed it will bc at some point on
Bellingham Bay, as that seems 10 be the princi-
pal starting point for tho mines. Two towns
have already been laid out on this Bay
Whateom and Sehome-the former having at
present little the start OF its rival. and others
will doubtless shortly be projected. Some one
Of these towns will eventually take the lead
and become the depot for the mines, and the
others must succumb to their fate. The best
mining country so far as discoveries have been
made, is in the British territory. but Frazier
river is good for nothing as a navigable stream
and there is no probability that town Of any
size will ever be built at its mouth. Workmer
are now engaged 10 cutting a road through
from BelliDgham Bay to the mines; and provi
sionS and other supplies will at present be land
ed at the Bay, and conveyed from thence by
land to the different mining localities. The
goods that pass into the British territory will
be subject to duties, but the country will short
be settled so thicSly by Americans, that the
power of the Hudson's Bay Co. will scarcely
be sufficient to impose onerous restrictions upon
them.
The summer Of lS49 was particularly noted
in California for the reckless manner in which
people entered into town lot speculatiOns. Simi-
lar speculatiOns will doubtless prevail in the
north during the present and coming seasons.
The Nevada Democrat., 1858-06-09

DESTRUCTIVE FREs.-The town Of San An
dreas, Calaveras county, was almost totally de-
strOyed by fire, on Wednesday night, June "a.
Four or five houses, only, were left 10 show
where the town had formerly stood.
On Friday last, about one o'clock P. NJ, fire
broke out in the town Of Marposa, and about
two-thirds of the business portion Of the town
was destroyed. The fire originated in Chi
nsse house of ill-fame. The Mariposa Star Of
fee was destroyed; that Of the Gazette, being on
the hill was saved. Mariposa has heretofore
been very fortunate in escaping vsitations of
this kind, this being the first serious FIRE which
has occurred there.

TERRIBLE ACcrDENT.-Thc Marysville Er.
press records a fatal casualty. which occurred
at Pttsburg Bar, on the Yuba. June lst:
Three men were working in one of the hy-
draulc claims of Murphy 4 Co., two being un-
der the bank and the third little below, when
the earth caved down with crash, aud the three
disappeared. 1t was found. however, that one
had entirely escaped, by a skillful movement Oh
his part when the crash came; the second was
covered entirely with the rubbish, excepting
his head, which was visible above, while the
third was wholly missing. He is supposed to
have been washed down through the boxes into
the river, as dilligent search was made for him,
10y digging and other means, for several hours,
without success. The second one was dug out,
without much trouble, but was found 10 be Sc
verely hurt. His collarbone was broken, aud
other portions of his body were much bruised.
He is in the care of very good ply siciau, how
ever, and it is expected he will recover. The
accident occurred in the same claim in which a
man named Mills was killed few months ago.
The name of the man killed, in this instance was
Robert Small The name OF the one injured is
Timothy McCarty.

Intelligence was received about a r

command consisted of five Companies q. e

ing been 1900 strong, and composed Of N.
Snake, Palouse, and other tribes. The .o,;ss
resulted in three officers and fifty men ILL

Col Steptee had proceeded into the Suak,

ceed to hostilities if necessary. The object Of
his visit was probably of a similar character
with that Of Maj. Haller, some three years sine.
and which resulted in like unfortunate man.

ALL THE SAME.-We notice that Mr.. E. r.
Budd has become associated with Mr.. A. w.
Russell, in the publication Of the Sonoma Dem
ocrdt, paper published at Santa Rosa, which
has latterly thrown its tremendous influence in
favor of the Leeompton Constitution. These
gentlemen were we'll known in this section, a
year or two ago, as leading members of the
Republican party-bOth Of them having been
candidates Of that party for Office in this cOun-
ty. Superficial thinkers may imagine they have
wonderfully changed their political principles
within year. The change, however, is not 90
great; it is a mere change of Names The prin-
cples Of LecomptOnism and Republicanism are
the same; one party would have Congress leg
islate in favor Of slave States and the other in
favor of free States. The arguments used by
one party would answer for the other by mere
ly changing names. Democracy would allow
the people of the Territories to establish their
own institutions; and would further see that the
will of the majority was net interpreted by vio-
lence and fraud. As our former townsmen
seem to stick to the same principles which they
advocated with great ability while in our midst,
we cannet but wish them the most unbounded
success-in a business point Of view

not exist but at present it may cost more than
its worth to get it.
