MINING AT BUNTYs GULcH.-The Bunty
boys" are now progressing finely with their
claims. Messrs. Minor S. Faville Co. have
good claim, which is paying handsomely
Many of the claims are paying more than
wages to the hand while opening. Some that
are opened average $40 per day to the hand.
VAGUE CAMp.-The hydraulic claim of Scott,
Tiff & Co., yielded two pounds and half of
gold this week, to three days washing of two
men. This claim, like all others at Yaque is
rich, but owing to the fall being insufficient to
hydraulic successful, they are difficult to
work. The process is to tunnel in consider
able distance, ''cutting under" the entire bank
and then knocking out the pillars which caves
in the earth and so loosens it that the hadraulic
has sufficient force to dissolve the cement
The claim above mentioned is one of the best
in the State, being kept as neat as parlor,
and worked to great advantage. One of the
great secrets of the success of the Chinese
miners, is their neatness and economy of labor,
and nice calculation of time; they do all their
work in such manner that nothing has to be
done over again; no stone has to be twice re-
moved and every particle of earth once lifted
is so placed as to be ever afterwards out OF
the way. In this respect, they secure neatness
and order in future operations. Miners, gen.
orally, might benefit, in this respect, by their
example.
RICH STRIKE AT Poverty BAR.-A company
OF three Germans, working at Poverty Bar,
took out, in four days, 81 400 worth of dust ;
they had to cart their dirt some distance.

SALT SPRING VALLEY.-But few miners are
at work there now. One of the oldest miners
in the valley informed US, yesterday, that the
entire mining ground in the range west of the
plains will pay from So to $25 per day over and
above water expenses, as soon as water is in
troduced. This district is equally as rich as
the Campo Seco district, twice as extensive,
and seven years behind it in working and
prospecting. Quartz is also abundant, some
of which prospects very rich.

FIRST DAY OF APRIL.-Ths somewhat noted
day, sacred to a large portion of the mining
population, was duly observed by its patrons
in this community Early in the morning-at
four o'clock-Mike Mitchell, of the minstrels,

national holiday, and with it, hand-in-hand,

audience assembled, at private residence, to
witness a marriage ceremony. The prospect
was fair and the sell complete, not leaving the
most disbelieving doubter room to dispute the
presumed fact But there was one who had
not an invitation, or a "wedding garment" he

the time of Nero, and was established by the Roman
soldiers in the year S. At that time they were cal
led "Fellow- Citizens" The present name given
them by Titus Caesar, twenty -four years afterwards;
and they so called from the singular character
of their meeting, and from their knowing each other

and in Portugal in the sixth century. 1t did not
reach France and England until the eleventh century
1t was then established in the latter country, by
John De Nevill, who, assisted by five Knights from
France formed Grand Lodge IN London. This
ancient fraternity has now its lodges in every quar-
ter of the globe, and by its usefulness and benevo.
