IT Fl e M I N E S !.

| SAN JUAN HILL.-We learn that a contract
has been let to w. B. Churchill by the Eu-
reka Lake Ditch Company, for the construc-
tion of large reservoir on Northup's ranch,
near town. Mr.. Churchill has already COM
menced work with a force of twenty-five
men. 1t is stated that Mr.. Northup received
for the piece of ground On which the reser-
voir is located, the sum of $500 The Mid
die Yuba Company is about to dig ditch
from the old Grizzly reservoir to SweetIand
for the purpose of conveying to the latter
place the surplus water for which there is
DO market here, or which exceeds the deliv-
ering capacity of the company's large fume.
SHADY CREEK.-Johnstone & Co. took up
$500 last week, four men working and no
expense for water.
URIsKo.-Good reports come from these
new diggings. In the claims of Mann & Co.
blue gravel has been struck which is said to
prospect forty cents to the pan. The COM
pany is preparing to drift and wash. The
length of the tunnel, to where the prospect
shaft was raised through the rock, is about
three hundred feet. The lead is nearly the
same in appearance as the famous blue lead
in Sierra, Plumas and Placer Counties
Shares in adjoining claims heretofore selling
for one or two hundred dollars, are now held
to be very valuable. By the end of spring
or summer there will be several other tun-
nels completed to the gravel, and we expect
to hear of some rich discoveries, particularly
as the HYDRAULIC PRESS establishment has
a claim up there
RELIEF HILL.-This is an out t-of-t the-way
place and not often heard from, yet it is one
of the points destined hereafter to be well
known in the mining annals of this great
ridge. We are told that about forty men.
are at work, and nine companies washing,
using from 100 to $50 inches of water each,
and doing well. W. Williams, washing
alone with very rude appliances, has made
81, 400 in less than four months, and is now
making 800 per week But for the unusual
mildness of the weather, washing would be
impracticable at this time. Several parties
are running tunnels. The Union Company
has one in 600 feet, and Becktell & Co. have
one completed which is 900 feet long. The
latter company has struck pay dirt and be-
gun drifting it out.
COLUMBIA HnL.-Weaver has let out all
the contracts on his ditch from this point to
the Junction House. and made arrangements
for its immediate prosecution. 1t is reported,
that on the ridge about three miles above
Columbia Hill new diggingshave been struck
which prospect ten dollars to the pan. The
lucky finders are said to be emigrants who
came in last fall. The story is rather wild
one, though not improbable.

A writer in the Santa Cruz Sentinel asserts
that the panther, couga, puma, or California
lion as it is enormously called, is the same
animal all over the continent of America,
and is the .felis concolor of naturalists. He
calls it mean and cowardly animal, and
says all the stories told about its ferceness
or bravery, are entirely destitute of truth.

ATTEMPTED RAPE.-A fellow known as
Italian Ned attempted to commit rape
upon a girl of twelve years, near Forest
City, last Friday week. The mother of the
girl heard her screams proceeding from an
adjoining cabin, and fastened to the spot
in time to defeat the purpose of the villain,
who fed at her approach and has not since
been heard from.

INDECENT Sick fund. We are told that the
Hospital has been well managed by the Doc

about $9,40O, which is saving of some
$4,000 over the cost Of the year preceding.
The Democrat says about third of the pa

MELANCHOLY DEATH.-G. G. Harvey, Esq,
an attorney at law, died in the county hos
pitL at Nevada, whittier he had been con-
veyed from this place few weeks since in a
state of hopeless dementia, resulting from
softening of the brain. He was nearly a
stranger in San Juan, but well known at
Ororille, Butte county, where he had prac-
ticed law for several years. He was very
kindly treated at the hospital, his acquaint-
ances at this place and the Nevada lawyers
having done everything needfnl to insure his
comfort, We learn that Mr.. Harvey was a
native of England, where many of his rela-
tiges now live; that he was about thirty
three years of age, and has married sister
residing near Oakland, in the State of Maine.
He was very conscientious, studious, ami
able man, and an industrious lawyer, almost
entirely self-taught. We have heard him
say that he studied English grammar and
the Latin and Greek languages while cabin
boy at sea- We believe he left no effects, ex-
cept a few books and papers, which will be
put in the hands of his friends. May he rest
in peace.

CHEERING SIGNs.-A stroll about the towns
at this end of the ridge reveals the cheering
fact that nearly all the land best adapted for
cultivation has been fenced and is being pre-
pared for cultivation. In the majority of in
stances comfortable houses are built within
the enclosures and occupied by families
Between North San Juan and Sweetland,
which places are about two miles
apart, we believe there is no land unoccu-
pied. Bright new fences and new houses
meet the gaze everywhere, and ploughed
fields are as common as in an old agricul-
tural region. Many of the parties who are
thus reclaiming the mountain wilds have
mining interests, but some of them have no
immediate dependence but the cultivation
of the SOIL Some with whom we have con-
Uersed are weary of wandering and gold
digging, and have settled down contented to
live here always, and to take what enjoy
ment and what riches, perhaps, may flow to
them from a legitimate and wholesome oc-
cupation. If these are not signs of perma-
nence for our mountain settlements we do
not know where else to seek them.
