WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP.

GOVERNOR Denver This distinguished
gentleman (the Governor of Kansas reached
Washington city yesterday evening, and Is
again installed in bis old quarters at the Kirk
wood House. His many friends in all parts of
the country will be glad to hear that the trials
and tribulations of his Office, which have proved
too much for all his predecessors in the posi-
ton, it will be remembered, seem not to have
affected him. He looks younger and heartier
than ever, and is in most enviable spirits. We
conceive that no other public man of the day
has won more legitimate reputation than Gov.
D., in mastering the interminable difficulties
and endorsements of the chief magistracy OF
Kansas, that crushed every one who previously
undertook to encounter them. He has proved
himself to be emphatically a man in all re-
spects-in discretion, nerve, true public spirit
in capacity to bear and forbear, &c.
By-the-by, Eek Governor j. W. Geary was
also at the Kirkwood for some days not long
since.

The Sueakership.

As the session of the Legislature approach
es the Speakership of the Assembly begins
to attract the attention of Legislators and
the press The candidates named so far are
Mr.. Stratton, of Placer, Mr.. Phil. Moore, of
Nevada, Mr.. Street, of Shasta, and Mr.. Cope
Of Amador. The contest will probably be
between Messrs Stratton and Moore, and we
have the hope that the choice will be our
own county member. While we would be
satisfied with the election of either of the
gentlemen above-named, we think the De-
mocracy of the State generally regard Mr..
Stratton as the man upon whom to bestow
the honor. In the late political contest he
was conspicuous mark for the malignant
shafts of Broderick bolterism because of his
firm support of the National Administration,
and every effort was made by deserters from
the ranks, in combination with the Republi-
cans to secure his defeat. Because Mr.. STRAIT.
ton introduced resolutions in the Legislature
supporting the Kansas policy of the Admin
istration, policy that was hoped would give
peace to Kansas, and end the unfortunate
troubles of that territory, he was denounced
and persued with unrelenting bitterness.
The Democracy of Placer have administered
a rebuke to the deserters and their allies in
triumphantly returning him to a seat in the
Legislature, and his election as Speaker
would be an additional evidence of the con-
tidence Of the Democracy Of California in
the Administration of President Buchan-
an, and an extra lash upon the backs
of untaithtul men who endeavored to stab
to the heart the party of which they had
been unworthy members For these reas-
ons, and the further belief that Mr.. Stratton
possesses the requisite qualifications for an
efficient presiding officer, we think he stands
forth as the most prominent candidate for
the Speakersbp, a position to which his nu-
merous friends in Placer are DESTROYS that
he should succeed.

New Mode of Saving Gold

The Caaveras Chronicle states that near.
ly all the quartz mills at Angels and Alta.
Vile have gone back to first principles
They have thrown away all the shakine.ta.
bles, blankets, &c., and adopted the Chilean
bowl or dotea, which is made of cast iron
about four feet in diameter, with concavs
of six inches at the center from the level of
the sides. A rim three inches in height AZ.
tends around the basin, only leaving sufficien,
space to discharge the water and crushed
rock. This bowl is hung by three iron rods
attached to the rim, and coming to a cen.
tire at the top. On the under side Of the
bowl is pivot to which is attached a cranl
giving the bowl rolling motion of about
three inches from the centre, keeping every.
thing perfectly loose, and tends to settle all
heavy particles to the bottom and centre.
and amalgamate the gold with the quicksil.
YER These bowls, when in rapid motion.
have almost the same movement of the old
fashioned wooden Chilean bowl when work
ed by hand. The invention is by a gentle.

The Placer Courier has the following
items Of news:
MINING.-The Jenny Lind Company, at
Forest Hill have again, after a delay of sew
eral weeks, got to work, and have struck
some very rich dirt. They have got their
new syphon to work and have succeeded in
draining their claim, and can now 90 ahead
and make their four and five hundred ounces
per week.
At Michigan Bluff, two companies have
recently struck pay dirt in their tunnels and
obtained good prospects.
At Young America or Brushy Canon, the
mines bid fair to be remunerative the pres
ent winter, The miners there have their
claims in good order and only await sup
ply of water to realize good pay.
PERsoNAL.-n consequence of the indis,
position of Mr.. E. B. Boust, and the DELAY
in obtaining his press, he has been unable to
issue the Patriot as ear y as was intimated,
but we are authorized to say that in the
course of few days it will make its appear
ance.
BAD AND DANGEROUS AccIDENT-We
learn that last evening, Capt Hyman, of the
Ford's Bar bridge, on the Middle Fork, met
with severe injury by the accidental dis
charge of rifle gun. The circumstances as
we learn them are as follows:
The captain had been out shooting, and
on his return sat his gun down, which by
some means exploded, the ball entering his
cheek and plowing its way between the skin
and skuil-bone to near the corner of the eve,
when it came out, being a most frightful and
severe wound.
The editor of the Courier has been made
agreeable by the reception Of a demijohn Of
Old Sazarac, to keep him from freezing in
this cold weather.

WALKER RIVER MlNEs.-The Carson Val
ley Enterprise learns from Messrs Curns &
Cleaver, who are from Walkers River, the
following in reference to the mines on that
stream:
The diggings are what is known as sur
face diggings, averaging about six feet in
depth. The mining, at present, is almost
entirely confined to the margin of the Mid
die Fork. Gold, however, has been found
on all the principal branches in sufficient
quantities to warrant good pay. Prospects
have also been obtained on the hills in the
vicinity of the mines, and the washed gravel
deposits present certain indications of the ex-
istence of rich gold throughout vast ex-
tent of country.
There are at present about seventy men in
the mines, and although they labor under
many difficulties and disadvantages unknown
to California miners, they make from three
to eight dollars per day to the man.
Mr.. Curns thinks that with the usual faci-
llties and a due preparation for mining,
there would be no difficulty in averaging
eight dollars per day to tie hand.
The gold is mostly fne ard is said to
coin something over eighteen dollars per
ounce.
The mines are nearly south from this
place, and distant about eighty five miles by
the Wagon Road, and sxty-tive or seventy
by the Trail.
