mines, on Thursday, and lie reported that ait least
400 men were on the ground. Claims have been
sold from $50 to 500. Some specimens of the ore
have been melted between plates of iron, and d
metal eliminated which bears the appearance Of
silver. Parties are now in san Francisco for the
purpose Of procuring an accurate analysis.
Very great excitement is reported to exist iii
Solano and Yalo counties, consequent upon the
discovery OF Placer diggings in the Putah noun
tains, about twenty miles from Snisun City. Speci
mems of the gold have been exhibited at that place
BY Yarious respectable citizens who have been To-

and took all of his farm labofers back with him,
