ANGELS CAMP.-A correspondent of
the Amador Sentinel, writing from that
place, speaks of mining prospects as fol-
lows:
The mill upon the Crystal claim is driven
by steam-power and conducted by MaXon.-
He has about fifty men employedin in and about
the works During the last week some very
rich discoveries have been made, and much
better than formerly A portion of the rock,
which is of lime formation, was thickly set
with free gold, presenting a beautiful appear
ance in connection with the pyrites. This
company made better "run' the last week
as is supposed than ever before, save one
week in January, which will not fall far short
of $4,000; running time, eight days. l was
credibly informed that there had been cleaned
up S2l 900, in seven days running time, some
three months since. The lode is about ten
feet in width, but only about six feet is called
"paying matter" The auriferous rock of this
section is quite different from any that have
before seen or heard of, more from the fact
that the strata of paying matter" is in width
from ten to fifty and eighty feet, and consists
of sillicate of lime, principally, and in con-
nection is found tacose slate, which IN many
cases pays very proftably. The course of the
veins is generally from south by east to north
by west, and very direct in their course, as
far as prospected. The sulphurets of iron are
about one-ifteenth of the whole mass, and
many of them pay as high as from 5000 to
ST., 900 per ton. Most of the mill companies
are saving them for future working. Smiley,
Benjamin Brother, have purchased their
partners interest, and are now the principal
owners; the first two of whom reside in San
Francisco, and the latter in San Andreas.-
This is probably one of the most valuable
pieces of property of the kind in the State
Everything relating to the business and re-
suits or proceeds of the mill, is kept pro-
found secret There are some fourteen mills
in active operation here, most of which are
doing well, but not so well as the g Crystal -
probably from the fact that the rock is not
from so great a depth; which increases in
richness as it sinks down.

FoUND.-Mr. Gordon E. Sloss, deputy sher-
iff, found on the person of a suspected Chi
naman, the following goods, supposed to be
stolen: boots, one no. 6, the other no. z, with
label, manufactured for Nash & Beamis,
Stockton y also, one pair of dark-brown cas-
simere pants; one gray flannel shirt; and one
figured silk ket-handkerchief-al new
The Chinaman also had on his feet pair oi
new boots. The articles are now in charge OF
the officer aforementioned, in San Andreas,
and any person having lost them are requested
to come and identify property and take them
away. This is the same Chinaman who got
such an unmerciful beating about one year
ago, for trying to crawl into the window of
dwelling in this place

SUPERIORITY OF THE ARAsTRA.-The Hor-
nitos Democrat speaking of the quartz mill of
Goodman, Diltz L Co., on Sherlock Creek,
says: "a week ago, this firm fully tested the
superiority of arastras over the ordinary mill
process for saving gold on crushing fourteen
tons of quartz in the mill, its average yield was
$50 per ton. Six tons of the same quality of
rock crushed in two arastras at the same time,
yielded $40 per ton.

Big TREE ROAD FUND.-On Fourth page will
be found letter from Murphy's, in reference
to this fund, which we publish merely to in
stitute the proper inquiry as to the state and
condition of the Big Tree Road. We refer
our correspondent to the Board of Directors
for information The Board consisted of
Judge David Shepherd, Murphy's; l.. G. Root,
Esq, Mokelumne Hill, and Geo. E. Drew, Esq,
Stockton We have never seen any report
from the Directors, official or otherwise as TO
the receipts and expenditures of the underta-
king. We would refer them to one of the
resolutions passed at the Big Tree Road Con-
vention, which created their Offices, and con-
fded to them Directorial trust:
Resolced That it shall be the duty of the
Directors to be caused to be published once
in each month, in some public newspaper, a
detailed report of the progress of the work,
and an account of their receipts and disbursc-
ments.

WELLS, FARGO 4 Co-Mr. Joseph Knight
of Wells, Fargo & Co., has favored this office

real and tangible nature. Packages and let

we are indebted for files of exchanges.

RAIS-The past week we have been favored
by series of timely and soaking rains. On
Sunday night, Monday and Tuesday, "heavy
wet came sprinkling down, as Especially de-
signed to nourish and cherish the already suf-
fering grain and grass, which made the buds
and flowers smile, while opening their petals OF
love, and perfuming the air with the richest
fragrance of the vernal spring. The birds, too,
while building their nests in the grassy knolls
or neighboring manzanitas, held vocal satur-
MALTA in every grove or bush, as if warbling
thanks to Him who sendeth the rain.

RAILRoADs.-A writer in the Sacra-
mento Union, after arguing that Railroads
in California will pay, if properly con-
structed and managed, says:
" The geological features of the State are
such as to render itnext to impossible to build
other than what might be designated as one
road, and the railroad and business men of
the State seem to be agreed as to it's location.
namely; to connect with tide water at or near
Oakland, opposite San Francisco; thence, by
way of Stockton, to Sacramento or Folsom :.
thence along the rise of the valley to Oroville
and the head navigation on the Sacramento
river. This might be called the "northern
branch" with southern branch" to the
head OF the San Joaquin valley.
With regard to the main trunk and the
northern branch, companies have been already
organized, each company forming section Of
the chain above alluded to. The San Fran
cisco and Stockton section is in negotiation
in England. The Folsom and Yaba river Sec
ton, under the name of the California Centro,
Railroad Company, will be commenced imme-
diately, under the Col. Wilson contract. and
for which the machinery is on the way. as per
bills of ladng by the last steamer"

recourse on the former owner.

CALIFORNIA WHIsKY.-The editor OF
the Sonora Herald, says he is fond of a
"snifter of whisky" and praises a home
made article down his way. This may
all be very good but we prefer the "lager,

nectar, and join him in 'swig," when
he 'splices that main brace" over here.

PALM SUNDAY. The Sacramento
Union thus notices this festival, which
was duly celebrated in this camp:

wac oulJ Ill
Holy Week.-The present is called Holy
Week, having commenced with Palm Sunday,
March 2Sth, and is a season celebrated in the
Christian world as one which consecrates in
the memory the Passion and Death of the Say
lour. Throughout Christendom, the day is
celebrated as the anniversary of that which
witnessed the triumphal entry of the Saviour
into Jerusalem, five days before his crucifxion.
In this week comes Maundy Thursday-the
thursday before Easter-so called from the
Saxon word, maud, which afterwards became
mdund, a name for a basket, and subsequently
for any gift or offering contained in the has-
ket Shakespeare says, "a thousand iavors
from the maund she drew" Good Friday IS
also a remarkable day this week. IL is stated
that in the church of st. Peters, at Rome, on
Good Friday the hundred burning lamps on
the tomb of st. Peter are extinguished and a,
stupendous illuminated cross depends from the,
immense dome of the Cathedral, as if it hung
self-supported Good Friday is the Friday
next before Easter-day; and Easter-day is al
ways the first Sunday after the first full moon.
which happens on, or next after, the 2lst of
March but if the full moon happens on n.
Sunday, Easter-day is the Sunday following.
Such are the notable days of Holy Week.

Fruit SAvED.-Not all the fruit was de-
stroyed during the recent cold "snap." Mr..
henry Schroebel saved the most OF his peaches
oy building fires, during the cold nights,
through the orchard Some few trees were
saved on Mr.. Norman's ranch by the same
process.
