vi ""t'
BY the arrival at this place this morning
of the steamer Sea Bird, Capt. Connor,
from Bellingham Bay, we have later and
very important intelligence from the Thomp
sons and Frazer's River Gold Mines, which
will be found in details below.
The Sea Bird reports the arrival of the
mail steamer Panama at Fort Townsend
from San Francisco, on Sunday, at Sp. M,
with full load of passengers and freight.
The Sea Bird landed some 35 passengers
and 20 head Of stock at Whatcom. The
stock is intended for packing through to the
mines. The owners intend starting immedi-
ately, and will endeavor to get through by
land all the way.
The Whatcom people intend running the
new trail directly through to the mines,
without striking the river at any point.
A miner at or near the forks Of Thomp-
sons river writes to friend at Seattle that
he is making ss5 day.
We learn from Samuel McCaw, Esq, who
came passenger in the Sea Bird, and who
recently left Fort Yale, that miners in that
locality are making from So TO SIG per day
each. Some fifty or more are at work few
L
Mr.. McCaw ascended the river some 20
miles above Fort Yale, and assures us that
the diggings are rich along the whole Of that
distance; the mines yielding an average of
not less than 5l2 per day per man. The
gold is found within six inches Of the surface.
Mr.. McCsw brings fifty ounces Of the gold
with him, the largest pieces Of which are
worth three or four dollars. He received
this in trade with the Indians.
Provisions are reported in abundance at
the various trading posts on the river.
The indians are friendly, and will continue
SO as long as they remain unmolested.
The Hudson Bay Co.'S. officials are said
to be very accommodating, and furnish every
facility to miners to reach their destinations,
with view to promoting immigration.
The water in Frazer's River has risen up
wards of twenty feet within the past fort
night, and at last accounts was steadily rising
at the rate of two feet per day.
The new town Of .Schome" had been laid
out, and lots were taken up quite rapidly by
business men from various parts Of the Sound.
Schome is about one mile south of Whatcom.
The steamer Constitution arrived at Bel
lingham Bay yesterday with 40 passengers,
$50 of whom were landed at Whatcom.
She brings very heavy freight list.

A Coon TnINc.-Capita! fellows are
O'Reilly Il O'Neill, of the Headquarters"
and very tiatterng business have they re-
ceived since opening their saloon. We had
the assurance on Thursday that we were
kindly remembered by them, when Lawrence
entered the sanctum, and presented in due
and proper form denijohn that contained
something. A committee Of connoiseurs
have investigated the contents thereof, and
reported it to be an excellent article of
brandy. As it is useless to attempt to be
melancl oily when our friends are SO deter
mined that we shall have good spirits, we
therefore smile pleasantly, and thank them
for their kindness.
There is more OF that same tap at the

that they will be back to their old quarters

to do so.

which became quite unmanageable, breaking

hip and in turn received a violent kick on
the left temple, which knocked him sense

breaking his ribs. Mr.. Doyle was very SER
iously injured, but was doing we'll at last ac-

Grazing Cattle.

We are reliably informed that in no year
since '53 has grazing been SO good in this
county as the present season. Stock cattle
are held at higher prices than for several
years past-f'esh milk cows being readily
worth from S75 to 500; yearing heiers
from s25 to $40; and yearlng steers from
500 to s25. There has been an unusual de-
mand for good stock cattle for the last six
months-many persons desiring to invest in
this kind of business, believing it to be the
safest and best investment to be made in CAL
iforna. The southern and western sec
tons Of Placer county seem peculiarly
adapted to stock raising; and with salu-
brious climate the year round--there being
no necessity of feeding cattle with hay, straw,
or corn, in the winter weather-t will not
be many years before the item of stock rails
ing with us will compare favorably with any
other county in the State.

EE The editor of the Placer Press de-
sires to be considered Douglas Democrat.
But Douglas Democrats wont touch him with
pair of tongs, and beg to be excused from
any political affiliation with his sort. His
overtures have been spurned by them. With
the members of the X. N. party he is in no
better odor-they naturally feeling indignant
at the conversion of the Press into what,
with good reason, they term Black Repub-
lican organ. The only sympathy the editor
finds is among his natural associates, the
negrophilists, who are we'll pleased to
have such an enthusiastic exponent of their
sentiments. But we imagine he is dsap
pointed in only having this little faction to
rally under the black flag His vanity led
him to suppose that he could organize an
opposition that would overthrow the intelli
gent and united Democracy Of Placer Coun-
ty. Poor fellow! he has miscacuated the
people, and finds his patriotic efforts of no
avail. His editorial mission is not appreci
ated here. How unfortunate.
HORSES SroLEN-Two horses, belonging
to Mr.. VIM. Bunce, land the only ones he
possessed) were stolen from his ranch, two
and half miles south Of this place. on Mon
day night last. The horses had been picket
ed out near the house for the night By
advertisement in to days paper the marks
and brands are given, which we hope will
lead to the detection of the thief, and the
restoration of the horses to their owner who
can i'll afford to lose them.
1t is evident that there are scoundrels com
mitting depredations in this section OF the
country, who need to be ferreted out Justice,
quick and fearful, is in store for some OF
these gentry; and if they have any regard
for their necks, they had better change the
scene Of their operations without much fur
ther delay. This is timely advice.
