C8- A large drove of cattle, horses and
mules passed through this place on Wednes-
day morning on their way to the valleys be-
low, accompanied by the herders on horse
back, family in wagon, and a troop of
youngsters running along in the rear. They
have been spending the summer in one of
the summit valleys, and received from the
late storm hint to leave.
These animals belonged to DR.. Webber and
brother, who have been herding them on
the Truckee river the past summer. We are
informed that the Messrs Webber came near
losing their entire drove of stock by being
caught in the snow. AS it was, they had to
bring them out from the Truckee river thro'
four feet of snow--beng compelled to go
before with horses and mules and break Il
trail. The stock were three days in the snow
without food
1t is quite common for parties to take stock
into the rich grazing valleys which are
found along the line of the summit lakes in
Plumas, Sierra and Nevada counties, where
they lead secluded patriarchal lives with
their families, their flocks and their herds,
until the threatening winds of early winter
admonish them to return to the warm regions
of the lower country. The climate in these
valleys is wholesome and embracing farming
and grazing land can be had there without
fear of Mexican titles, and stock thrives won
drously. Several of them are inhabited
through the winter, and will ultimately be
filled with a thriving, healthy and happy
people.--San Juan Press

The Wagon Road Prosnect.

Is Frightening; and there are things more
improbable than that next year there will be
direct communication, winter and summer, be-
tween Downieville and Sacramento or Marys-
vile. Ghe right spirit is abroad, and the
right men are taking hold, to put the work
through.
A meeting was held at Goodyears Bar, or
Saturday evening, and measures taken to Sc
cure an immediate survey of that point of the
road to be made from the Bar up the bank o
Woodruff creek to the summit Col Plat
made brief and pertinent speech to the
meeting-referred to the importance of the
proposed road, arguing the manifest feasibili-
ty of the work, and stating the purpose for
which the meeting was assembled The gen
tlemen present expressed their entire satisfac-
ton with the suggestions of oil. Platt, and
their readiness to commence active operations
at once, by arranging for the survey up the
hill this week-they bearing the expense OF
the survey, and furnishing mules for the
party.
The Goodyear people seem TO fully appre-
ciate the advantages they would reap from
the proposed road, and the impossibilitv of
permanently raising the town in Importance,
without securing for it regular and uninter-
rupted communication by wagons and stages
WIN Ihc loMeF country. lnef pOrJlOn OF
the road presents no serious obstacles what
ever-up the bank of Woodruff creek nothing
is to be done but cut track for wagons on
the side of the hill, at grade which will be
designated by the Surveyor, and which will
be probably foot rise in 16 OF distance All
this work can be done without any blasting,
and it ~iH be done. probably, before next
Spring. A grade of foot in l6 is an easy
road for the largest teams, and can be trotted
down without risk.
The preliminaries of surveying the road
and organizing the company once through
with, no time will be lost in putting the Dow
melville and Coyote creek sections under con-
tract The people who are at the head OF
the present movement are determined t. see
stages running into Goodyear's and Downie
vile next summer, and the mountain schoon-
ers bringing goods up the South Fork. Our
quartz men want road to bring boilers and
machinery over; and they want a road to
bring provisions for men cheaper than can be
done now, and at any time of year. Every
person is interested in the proposed increase
of facilities for travel and when the time
comes every one who is able will do some
thing towards securing it-Sierra Democrat,

On Pompey's Hill, Chaparral Hill, French

country for miles around the town, is literally
covered with claims of different descriptions,
and checkered over with railroads, construc-
ted by the miners to convey their pay dirt
down to the river side, where water is acces-
sible and the tailings carried off easily. The
claims are ALL without exception, paying
largely some as high as SIS to $50 day to
the hand. Several tunnels are being run into
what is called Aluma Peak and Iron Peak,
two small mountains near the town, with ex-
cellent prospects of striking it largely. Pal
mer Is engaged in cutting Il large flume the
whole length of Town Flat, that the miners
of Pompeys Hill as well as those of the Flat
can run their tailings into it and have them
carried into the river This will be great
accommodation, and save two hands TO each
claim, and is well spoken of by practical men
as a paying project The Aume has an easy

MINING NEws--LooAL INCIDENTS, ETC.

COLUMBIA House, Oct 30th.
EDITOR DEMooRAT:-Just returned from a
witt to MOoreville, place where great pre-
parations are being made for mining, when
the ditch is completed, which, it is supposed,
will be in five or six weeks The miners
there are very sanguine as TO the richness Of
the ground so far as the matter has been tes-
ted, good wages can be made The diggings
are all hydraulic and the ditch that is being
brought in will be supplied from the South
Fork of Feather river, and the supply will
be annual 1t is supposed the banks will
pay from the surface to the bed rock; and
such diggings seldom fail to prove good. Mr.,
>. Robertson, the ditch contractor, is about
to erect commodious hotel an institution
much required.
This place is very dull at this time, and
money is a scarce commodity; but not so
with whiskey, that article is plenty, and large
quantities are disposed of on time. An indi-
vidual, doctor of the place, dealt so exten
sively in it the other night that he was made
to see snakes and blue devils, which so af-
frighted him that he attempted to cut his
throat with a jackknife, but the wound was
not made cas- deep as well, or as wide as a
church door,, " therefore, did not "serve," ,"

SODA SPRINGS IN MENDooINo CoUNTY.-We
have been handed by Captain Buckles, says
the Napa Herald, a specimen of carbonate of
soda (sal soda) from springs on his ranch in
Mendocno county. We understand that the
springs from which this specimen was taken
yield immense quantities of this salt by spon-
taneous evaporation. They also emit car
bonic acid gas in large quantities. No accu
rate analysis has yet been made of the water
or the salt which it yields. We referred our
specimen to Dr. Rule, who pronounced the
salt unusully pure lie also info rms us that
it neutralizes an equal weight of tartaric acid
and is freely soluble in cold water, forming
a clear solution. 1t is used by Captain B. in
making bread and it forms with tartaric acid
a fine effervescing draught. We hope these
springs will soon be analyzed, and their true
value made known.
