wish all success, it will, after Downie-
vile shall have established an easy COM
munication with the eastern base of the
Sierra Nevada, furnish immigrants with
facilities, which do not exist at present,
of reaching their intended points Of To-

The Foster Bar road requires capt.
tai of fifty thousand dollars to complete
it, which is to be subscribed as stock,
and which, it is scarcely necessary for
US to hint, will never yield large inte-
rest, while the North San Juan road can
be made equally good and equally short
for twelve thousand. With all due def

pressed, the benefit of their earnest con-

A FRIEND TO PROGRESS

THAT COPPER LEAD.-The seam of
native copper which was found not long
since in mining claim near Gibsonville,
and specimens from which were describ-
ed in the PRESS, does not appear to be
extensive.
We are informed that copper is still
found, but only in small veins at inter-
walls. 1t is not impossible it may yet be
discovered in larger quantities; certain
ly, this would be less strange than the
finding of good sized pieces of the met
al entirely isolated in the rock.

THE CHAPLAINcY.-The old Legis-
lative squabble on the important subject
.of electing Chaplain was revived again
in the Assembly on Tuesday last.
Every winter this honorable body dis
cusses the propriety of extending its
patronising notice to Deity, and every
winter there seems to be larger major
ity of the opinion that praying by proxy
is not essential to good Legislation.
Perhaps it occurred to the forty-seven
members who voted to table Mr.. Banks
resolution, that during those sessions
when the Legislature had the benefit of
Chaplain's services its proceedings
were characterised by less devotion to
the interests of the State than they have
been since, and that it would not be a
safe experiment to restore the old prey
ing days. Be this as it may, the forty
seven acted sensibly. We think with
Mr.. Thomas that the election of Chap
lain is "nothing more than an empty
mockery, productive of no good" 1t
gives certain members chance to make
buncombe speeches, and that's about ALL
When Chaplain is employed, the few
members who are present during the SER
vice exhibit their profound respect for
religion by elevating their pedal extrem-
:ities upon their desks, and searching
through the morning papers to see if
their merits have been properly presen-
cd to the country; edifying specta-
Gle indeed.

Education have apportioned the school

counties. From their report, we learn
that the total number of children in the
State, between the ages of four and
eighteen, is 1929. The sum of $780,
2O6, SO was apportioned, being 80 cents
to each scholar. In Nevada county, l.
800 children were returned, and the
amount due the county is consequently

SHORTEST OVERLAND TRIP.-It is

SHORTEST OVERLAND TRIP-It is
a noteworthy fact that advices have been
received at Placerville, over the Central
Overland Route, in seventeen days from
St.Louis, being the quickest time says
the Union, ever made across the CONT
nent between the two tcrmini of post
route.
The trip from Salt Lake was made in
seven days. Such speed, in the very
midst Of winter, and without meeting
with any considerable obstruction of the
road by snow, constitutes signal rec
,ommendation of the Central Route,
and restores the prestige it seemed last
week almost about to lose 1t is also
hint that will have its influence in

CHEERING ACCOUNTS are received
from every part of the State of the ac-
tive resumption of mining operations.
The late cold weather,-the most severe
known in the State since it's settlement
by Americans, has been succeeded by a
genial thaw and falls of rain, the latter
not very heavy but assistingto swell the
streams and bitches. Now commences
the most active mining season of the en-.
tire year, except at such places as are far
up in the region Of winter snow. Ag-
ricultural operations have also been COM
menced. Farmers are ploughing their
lands, sowing grain, planting trees and
vines. All through the mountain min
ing region the more fertile spots are be-
ing prepared for cultivation. It is prob
able from present indications that nearly
every man who has house and small
patch Of enclosed ground will plant trees
and grape vines the coming spring.
There seems to be a general wish to test
the capacity of the mountain soil for
profitable tlllage, with a view to future
improvements if the experiments result
favorably. The permanence of mining
towns depends largely upon the value of
the soil around them for culture. There
need be no fears on that score, as time
will prove.

a monthly newspaper, or more properly

to the cart preservative of all arts"

contains admirable literary matter and
wood engravings of the highest finish
20 person, whether a printer or not, can

THE MINES.

SAN JUAN HILL.-Several compan-
les are washing this week, with what
success cannot be known in time for this
issue. The Bloomer Company cleaned
up last Saturday, after run of four days,
the sum of $3.50. Next week they will
commence washing with two pipes, and
will largely increase the regular receipts.
The Wyoming Company took out $500
at their last clean up, and the Ohio
Company 1884; but these amounts do
not fairly represent the value of the
claims.
RAvINE DIGGINGs. the melt
ingof the snow few of the ravines in this
vicinity have contained sufficient water
formining purposes, and several persons
have been washing in them here and
there with fair success. Mr.. Northup
has been making good wages in ravine
near his Ranch, and other parties in
other localities have made from five to
ten dollars per diem. There are not
many ravines in the immediate vicinity
of San Juan Hill, and rayine mining
has never been feature in this locality
No doubt, however there are many little
runs and hollows which would afford re-
munerative yields could water be got to
them at all seasons.
GARNET RAvINE.-This is so named
from the fact that numerous garnets
have been found in it by parties wash
ing for gold. 1t lies not far from town.
The persons who are working it do not
get much gold, but they save all the
garnets they find, and say they have
found large number about the size of
duck shot. The only large one discov-
cred was unfortunately broken.
LONE RIDGE.--This mining district
which is comparatively new and I'M
worked, embraces the ridge lying south
of Clark's mill, between Clark's and
Shady Creek. The diggings, so far as
they have been prospeeted, give indi-
cations Of great richness, and it is tho't
they would prove fully equal, if not SUI
perior, to those on San Juan Hill, could
they be as regularly worked. Unfortu-
nately they are never supplied with wa
ter, except at short intervals during the
rainy season. Some parties owning
claims near the Oak Tree Ranch, in this
district, have lately been washing, and
have made, in spite of all disadvanta-
ges, as high as twelve dollars per day

WINTER ON FRAZER RIVER.

The following communication is from
a former well-known resident of Birch
vile, who is a man not to be frightened
by trifes. He gives gloomy picture
of the vaunted Northern mines. He
remarks in private note that he is
comfortably housed for the winter, and
that in the spring he intends to be thor
oughly satisfied with Fraser-disgusted
he was months ago-when he means to
return to California.
FORT YALE, BRITISH CoLUMBIA,l
Dec. 18th, 1858. :
Editor Press: Probably many of those
who have returned to Nevada county
from this at present almost Arctic re.
gion, would like to know what Deem
Der prospect on Fraser is. | will tell
them: left Bridge River, some 40
miles above this, on the 18th inst. Little
snow had fallen then except on the high
peaks, but the cold was intense; a pail
of water would freeze solid in five hours,
during the day time. [ crossed Fraser
river on the ice short distance below
the mouth of Bridge river, and could
have done so at several places lower
down. In rapid places the ice extends
from 40 to 60 feet from each bank, and
I have no doubt by this time it extends
across. Ofcourse all mining operations
above have ceased-rockers, sluices and
ground are almost as solid as the rocky
cliffs. The river, after it's sudden freak
of raising six feet on the level, in one
night, and sweeping nearly all the tools
and rockers off, receded very fast, and
is now thought to be at pretty low
stage. Many "spots" were found before
this cold weather set in that would pay
the best kind of wages, but for all in
tents and purposes at present, it might
as well be in "Grinnell Land" OF
course it is mere conjecture how long
this weather will last. About all the
miners above who had not sufficient
supply of provisions to last them at least
three months, have left, or are leaving
for below as fast as possible. At the
present time there is not more than 100
men on Fraser and its tributaries above
the Forks. | should think that when
[ came down there were about $50 or
400 from the Forks down to this place.
The way they are coming in here at
present will not take long to thin them
out considerably. Most of them leave
for the Sound, to winter, but many of
them will probably get lower down, as
they never discovered this kind of eli
mate in any portion of California. I
shall winter here, and go up for short
time in the spring. The weather here
is very moderate in comparison to that
above, although at present it is below
the freezing point. During the last
thirty-six hours about two feet of snow
has fallen.
Yours, &C.,
