MNERsvLLE.-"F F." writes, that since our fair
correspondent Jessie" left for down the river,
that we have not been properly Informed of mat
ters as they have transpired there. Water plen-

Creek, are making Sc and So per day, to the
hand they have found one piece in their claim
weighing about $40, and a number weighing
from $40 TO SIS. Langdon & Co. are cleaning
up their fume, and expect good pay. The mines
on the East Fork are paying well, several COM
panics making from Sc to S10 to the hand. Sew
eral new companies will commence operations on
the East Fork as soon as the water falls Most
of the gulch claims are paying good wages, White

the favorte pastime now quantities of them Of
large size, are daily caught.

CELESTIAL ELoPEMENT AND MARRIAGE.-T The

DEMOCRATIC COUNTY CoNvENrIoN.-Nex Mon
day the County nominating Convention will Sc
lcct their nominees for the coming election. Cen
orally, there is from two to six men named for
each Office, and good many are bound to be
disappointed. For Sheriff, Jno. D. May is the
most prominent, while the chances are probably
about equal with Felter, Rush, Kinds, Jones,
Hart Kelly and Ludwig. The nomination for
County Clerkship will be given Jereh. Bennett or
NJ. T. Griffin for Assessor, Mitchell, Musser or
Burns will one receive the nomination. The can
ddates for Assembly are A. c. Lawrence, f.
Bates, and, we are told, ]. W. Finley, Of this
place, but we have too much regard for Joe 10
believe that he will allow his name to go before
any Convention for such nomination.

OREGON GULcH, July 12.-" The water has
given out, and mining operations are about sus-
pended for this season. The claims on this Gulch,
with the exception of Weaverville basin,) are
the best paying in the county, on an average.
have taken pains to ascertain the daily pay of a
number of prominent claims, for six months past.
Slattery Il Co.'s, on the lower portion Of the
Gulch, as far as cleaned up has paid we'll the
exact amount / am not informed Goodwin d
Co., from 81 TO So, sluicing; Whelton & Co. s13,
suicing Anderson, Brown & Lulo, on the hill
west of the Gulch, work two claims with the
same head of water, paying respectively, s13
and sl4 Mr.. Anderson tells me that in cleaning
up the tailings sluiced from the claim, he saved
between 500 and $500, which had washed
through long fume and eighty yards Of tail
race. l mention this for the benefit Of those who
think they save all the gold in the first rifle.
McCarty & Co.'s claim averages Sl3 Motherwel
Co.'s, $40. In fact all have done we'll this
summer, and are satisfied.
The approaching election is foremost in the
public mind, here. Feter, May and Jones, for

SANTA CLARA CoILEGE.--A catalogue of this
institution, situated in Santa Clara valley, three
miles from San Jose, has been sent us. 1t is un-
der the superintendence of the Fathers of the
Society of Jesus, and is open to all classes and
creeds. From the catalogue of officers and STU
dents, we should judge the College to be in
most 1ourshing condition. The course of studies
include all necessary branches from Defamation
to Greek. The degrees of a. B., A. NJ, and j b.
are conferred by the College on such as, after
rigid examination, are considered duly qualified

SHALL WE HAVE A FIRE ENGINE OR Hook
AND LADDER COMPANY ?-Is question to be an
swered by citizens who desire better protection
from fire. We ought to have one or the other
both if possible. Heretofore it has been impos-
sble to procure water for use in time Of fire, but
now an opportunity is afforded to keep fire cis-
terms constantly filled. Chase Il Sales and Nc
Gowan & Co. are bringing the water of Garden
Gulch in wooden pipes for town use, which will
be carried directly through Main street, and
which, with the aid of fre-engiDe would be
sufficient to check any fire which might occur.
A well-organized Hook and Ladder company
would have stopped the late fire, and saved most
of the property destroyed Bob Donnelly tells
us that good machine with 600 or 500 feet of
hose can be bad in San Francisco for perhaps
$1,000 or $500. A Hook and Ladder company
can be organized with trifing expense, as every
thing necessary can be made here. The present
is good time to move in the matter.

HEAD OF NAVIGATION on THE SACRAMENTo.-
We notice by the San Francisco papers that the
steamer Anna, Capt. Truworthy, is advertised to
make regular trips between Red Bluffs and La
tona, the new town three miles above the mouth
of Clear Creek, on the Sacramento, provided
sufficient encouragement is given. Latona is
twelve miles below Shasta, and should it be made
the permanent head of navigation, twenty-six
miles of stage travel will be avoided between
this place aud the Bluffs. The DISTANCE from
Weavervile to the head of navigation would be
fifty miles instead of seventy six. Shasta citizens
manifest deep interest in the matter, and will
use every exertion 10 make the new town perma-
nent, provided the river can be made and kept
navigabe to that point

modore McCluney the Brooklyn, IA guns Full,
ton, guns Water Witch, pivot gun together
with the Wyandotte, Anacosta, Mohawk and Cru

which carry ten officers, sixty men and four guns.

Savannah, carrying % guns; jamestown, carry
ing % guns Saratoga. carrying 20 guns ST.
Louis, carrying 20 guns Preble, carrying 16
