SATURDAY, JULY
Descriptive of Mining.

sWAITING FOR WATER.'-Nature seems to have
made provision for the custody of her treasures;
the richest deposits are found in places most diff
ficult to get at, while others less rich have com
pensating advantages. The rivers, near their
sources, branch out among the hills until the
little tributaries are lost in the rocks, and then,
half days journey up the mountain, gold is
found in profusion enough to make the discoverers
rich, if they only had water to work. In such
places clusters of cabins are seen, where miners
are waiting for the rainy season. Heavy SHOWS
come in the fall, which freeze, the streams rise
very little, and nothing can be done until Febru-
airy or March Then busy time succeeds, until
about the first of June, when the disappears,
the streams dry up, business is suspended, and tie
miner again begins to wait for the rainy season,
having worked three or four months out Of the
twelve. Every little brook is carefully fumed or
carried to the dggings in ditch; every wet
weather spring belongs to somebody; men fight
and go to law about the privilege OF draining
the water from swamp, in order to work as long
as possbe but in spite of all their pains, the
water dries up and they wash no more till
the rainy season. Then they occupy the rest o
the year drifting out the richest Of the dirt, aud
piling it up, so that when the rainy season doe,
come, they can dispose of it with great expedition
II is-while washing this drift dirt that hear Of

EXCITEMENT ABOUT FRAZER RyER.-It is i'm
possible to give any one, not a resident of San
Francisco, an adequate idea of the excitement
prevalent in this place about the Frazer river
mines On the arrival of the steamer Republic.
yesterday, the various newspaper offices, and the
post office, were Immediately thronged by inqui-
ring multtudes, eager to learn whether previous
reports had been confirmed The most extraordi-
nary stories were related of the most eXtraordina-
ry success, and no matter how gross, were swal-
lowed with the utmost credulity. Among others,
it was reported that two hundred pounds of gold
had been found adhering to the anchor huke of
the steamer Sea Bird, when getting under way
from Frazer River, one mile from Fort Hope.
Strange as it may seem, this 'roorback' was re-
ceived as gospel by number of persons whose
heated inaginations would have led them to be-
lieve that the whole bottom of the Sea Bird had
been sheathed with gold plates.-S. T. Ahraid

THE SuBLME.--Thc following passage, we
think, will compare in naughty grandeur with
any thing ever written by English poet. This, we
are aware, is very sonorous assertion, but it is
our opinion only, and if any one discovers
greater number of gigantic thoughts in an equal
number of consecutive lines we should like to
see them set opposite. John r. Ridge, Of Marys-
vile, is the author:
Behold the dread Mount Shasta, where it stands
Imperial midst the lesser heights, and, like
Some mighty, unimpass mind, companionless
And cold The storms of Heaven may beat in
wrath
Against it, but it stands in unpolluted
Grandeur still; and from the rolling .mists up
heayes
It's tower of pride cen purcr than before.
the wintry showers and white-wnged temposts
leave
Their frozen tributes on its brow and it
Doth make of them an everlasting crown
Thus doth it day by day, and age by ggp,
Defy each stroke Of Time, still rising higher
Into Heaven!

SNAKY PRAYER.-In the State of Ohio there

name OF Beaver, and his four sons, who had often
laughed to scorn the advice and entreates of a
pious though very eccentric minister, who resided
in the same town 1t happened one Of the Eoys
was bitten by raltlesnake, and was expected to
die, when the clergyman was sent for in great
haste. On his arrival he found the young man
very penitent and anxious to be prayed with.
The minister, calling on the family, knelt down
and prayed on in this wise: Oh, Lord we thank
thee for rattlesnakes. We thank thee because a
rattlesnake has bit Jim. We pray thee send
rattlesnake to bite John; send one to bite Bill;
send one to bite Sam; and, o Lord, send the big
gest kind of rattlesnake to bite the old man,
for nothing but rattlesnakes will ever bring the
Beaver family TO repentance.
