FRIEND GoRDON There has been dearlh Of
mining news lately, the few claims now being
worked not paying enough above the regular
routine to afford single item. Having, like
Macawber waited long time for something to
" turn up" shall say all that can be said
enough to supply the DEVILS demand for an

The mines on this stream are mostly situated
in large basin, surrounded by high hills, and
bearing in some points, strong resemblance to
the Wcaverville basin, although not near as large
The bed rock is also different from any on the
river or adjacent streams being a species Of
sandstone, which bears strong appearance of
having at some time been washed by the ocean,
numerous specimens Of petrfcd sea shells having
been found imbedded in the rock Other petri-
factions are frequently found, the snake at Sea
mans drug store having been taken out here.
But little mining has been done in The basin, so
far, though that little has been lucrative, and the
waters Of the creek once taken over these hills,
you would hear OF large strikes
stmyed down 10 Smiths Flat on Saturday,
and took look at my old baunts. Although il
is the dullest part of the mining season, every
body is busy preparing for winter and there is
not an idle man on the Flat. Lyons, Kaye n

among the bat haunted rubbish Of the ham
let, man that could write was hunted up
and seized upon--and who, at the dictation
of the Club drew resolution (of thanks to

divers combinations of punctuation marks.
This resolution was passed unanimously.

horrid groans were given for that freportl
Of the Nonpareil." Well, really, the kind

is truly overpowering! There is nothing
