SUFFERING IN THE MoUNrAINs-A party Of
persons lately arrived at MaripOsa, from
Mono Lake. The Gazette gives the following
particulars of the trip:
From the submits the party was eighteen
days getting down to the head of the Yo
Semitic valley; six of which they were with.
out provisions. They slept in the soft snow,
and their prospect was about as dismal as
that of any Arctic expedition. For FIVE days
prior to the giving out of subsistence they
had lived upon one scant meal per day. In
Yo Semitic, where there was no snow, thew
were so fortunate as to discover small
quantity of corn, that had been raised the
last summer. but not harvested, and O little
flour. Five of the party had their feet badly
frozen toes, and perhaps the feet of at least
two, will have to be amputated. When their
feet began to freeze, they took off and threw
away their boots, and travelled barefoot or
in stockings.

conversation with Mexican miners on the

says the Plumas Argus that the major part
Of the silver hunters will meet with disap-
pOintment The Mexicsns say that silver
ore is found in what are termed chimneys,
and at every foot the miner is liable to lose
the lead, it dropping sometimes two or three
thousand, and sometimes turning short to
the right or left. Hence the fact Of the dis
Sovery Of the lead at two or three distinct
points is no criterion by which other pros
PsctOrS can govern themselves in their re-
