white population of the north would be as

Truly, it would be a glorious sight to see Old
Buck in hoops and crinoline, kicking his heels
and dancing attendance in the apte-chamber
of Miss Lucy Stone, Empress Of the United
States, with the entire Cabinet in livery as
lacqueys. Why, sir there would be broad
grin even upon Natures dirty face, and in
stead of a saving of six millions, as he Pro-

WALKER RIVER MINES A HUMBUG
More conflicting accounts concerning
the richness of the mines at Walker river
came to hand last evening. The Placer
vile hde.r vouches for the reliability of
the author of the following:
"As [ have just returned from pros
pecting expedition, (in company with
three other experienced mners) to Walk
er river, [ feel that it is but justice to
others to state what | know, and what
may be depended upon by others in ref
erence to the diggings. They are located
about twenty-five miles south of Walker
river, in sandy, barren country; there
is no timber suitable for any purpose
within six or seven miles. The gold,
what little there is, is found in stratum
of sand and granite boulders, from six
to twelve inches in thickness, about a cart
load of rock to one painful of dirt-and
is found from one to six feet below the
surface. Below the stratum there is
bed of loose granite rock, but no solid
bedrock, such as we find on this side of
the mountains. There is so much rock
in the stratum which contains the gold,
that one man with rocker can wash the
dirt as fast as four men can dig it out
The dirt, after it is taken out, will not
prospect more than two or three cents to
the pan. The greatest amount of gold
taken out in any one day, was three dol
lars, which was taken by four men with
siulces, and [ was credibly informed by
those living there, that there had not been
two ounces of gold taken out of the new
dlgglngs, all told.
| left some forty or fifty men in the
diggings. They all intended leaving
soon. | saw the man who struck the
diggings there. He said he had not
found anything that would pay, and that
he intended to sink one more hole, and if
he did not find something better he in
tended to leave.
On my return home | met number
on their way to the new diggings. told
them it was humbug, and tried to per-
suade them to return, but they all ap-
peared to be anxious to see the elephant,
and travelled on d. w.
