The GEORGETOWN Trail.

Last Spring the people of Georgetown,
Ell Dorado county, determined to open
road from that place to Nevada Territory,
being confident the short distance and easy
Grades would soon make it favorite route
for the transportation Of freight and pass
enrers to the silver region. 1t seems to
have been the policy to open at first good
trail for pack animals, and subsequently
widen it for the passage of wagons. The
trail was completed some time ago from
Georgetown TO Lake BigIer, and from Mr..
Frank Fish, who has been located on the
Lake for year or more, we are indebted for
some items of information respecting the
route From Georgetown to the Lake the
distance is forty one miles,-the trail reach
inc the shore at the narrowest part OF the
water-thence across the Lake by ferry
twelve miles, and thence by good road,
twelve miles, to Genoa making the entire
distance from Georgetown to Genoa but
sixty five miles The ferrage of the Lake
can be avoided by extending the road around
its northern end, and lenghening the road
some eight or ten IN les. Ferrying over the
Lake will probably be.resorted to, to con
siderable extent, as a vessel is now being
built designed for that purpose, and to be
propelled by steam. Quite an amount OF
hay has been cut on both the eastern aud
western shores of the Lake this season, and
from the latter side taken over in flats to
the Genoa road and from thence Transports q
into the mines or sale.
1t is claimed that the Georgetown route
is superior to either that by way of Placer
Vile or Henness Pass-beinH easy ascents,
and the pass over the main chain several
hundred feet lower than by the other roads,
and consequently not so much DISTRACTED
by snow. Of the distance between George
town and the Lake about sixteen miles of it
is now good wagon oad,--the remainder
traiI-and it is contemplated to open II
through for wagons III the Spring.
BY reference to the map it will be seen
THAI Georgetown is little north of east
from Aubu n-the distance in an air line,
between the towns, is eleven miles, but
from the nature of the country, being divi
del by the waters of the American, Il
road between the points would be from fit
teen to sixteen mile. 1t is proposed to grade
road over the American, and bring the
towns in direct communication, as the
Georgetown people regard he Railroad now
building from Folsom 20 Auburn as a great
auxiliary TO them in securing large part Of
the business now being done between Cali
fprnia and Nevada Territory. And there
can be 40 doubt, with these improvements
made the Georgetown r,u,e viii sand rs a
formidable rival to other routes.
1t is patent, that with the completion Of
he railroa here. Auburn will become the
poini of divergence for the rale to Washoe
by HE four prominent mountain lines of
Georgetown, Forest Hill, Dutch Fiat, and
Ilenness Pass-aud heloie we've months
the most iu,reduons will realize HE tact.

MURDER AT DUrCH FLAT. On Monday
morning German, by the name of Lewis
Fogle was murdered at Dutch Flat. A cor
respondent of the Sac. Union gives the fol-
lowing account of it:
This morning Louis FogIe, a respectable
German resident of this place, was found
lying dead in hi. garden, directly under his
bedrsom window. 1t appears from evidence
before tn Coroner's jury, that he was called
up about halt past one this morning by some
man unknown. The neighbors heard loud,
angry talk at bis house. Blood was discov
cred (though in small quantities the wounds
bleeding mostly internally in the front next
the street, which was traced on the fence
over which they climbed to reach the gar
den, and on the leaves of the rose bushes
which they passed to the place where he FELL
When found he was lying across walk
which ran para lei with The house, with no
clothing on but his shirt, his limbs covered
with mul as though he had bad some hard
struggling with his murderer on the ground.
Several parties are arrested on suspicion,
but on what real grounds | am unable to
learn.

IMPROVEMENTS AT LTNCoLN.-The opening of
the Central Railroad has given an impetus to i'm
provements at Lincoln. and soon there will be q
smart town, where heretofore there was but little
more than the name without the buildings. Be-
side the depot and hotel, there are about a dozen
other houses, and preparations making for put
ting up others Immediately. The California Stage
Company are erecting large stable and will
soon run several OF their lines from the mountains
TO connect with the Railroad.
1t has beer announced that the road will be ex-
tended from Lincoln to Marysvie the coming
winter, and connect with the Orovile road This
will be an important connection for the Central,
and add greatly to its business prospects. And
the day cannot be distant when road will stretch
from Oroville towards Shasta, thus connecting
the links of a great railroad chain for the Sacra-
mento valley.

RIVER MiNINo,--Althourh the rains have
not vet come to disturb mining on the riveis.
we learn that many companies have relin'
quished labor, aud removed their wheels and
fumes, for the reason that pay dirt" was
not to be found. The season has cen
long-giving ample opportunity for prospect
ing; but labor has been lut i'll repaid. On
the whole the result is considered as bad as
the most unfa' cradle seasons, when early
rains have cleaned the rivers etfttualIy
But few companies have done weIl--anl
many companies would have saved money
by having freshet a month ago.
The uncertainty Of river mining exemple
fed The unpleasant fact, TO many miners
who were driven away from GOO pay" 10y
high water last year, and started in his year
where ;hey left off, that the got ha
vanosed entirely--had shifted TO some other
locality. Many experienced miners contend
that the gold shifts in the bed and bars du-
ring the winter freshes-and that there is
no certainty that claim that is good oue
wear, will be renun eraiive The next.

In the winter of 1S49. when the frontier of
civilization was seven hundred miles further East
than it is now, Mrs. Fremont was about starting
from St. Louis to join her husband, then in SER

gallant old spark: "Are you not afraid to IKE

Whereat she startled his nerves by replying:-

IMPROVING THE llENNEss Pass Road
The most active efforts are being put forth
by parties interested, to complete the road
between Nevada and Eureka, before winter
sets in. This, it will DO recoliected, is the
only piece Of bad road OH The entire line of
travel from Sacramento over the llennesS

is completed the steep grades at the crossing
of the Yuba will be avoided, and the eeva
ton at Eureka be obtained 10y a steady and
uniform grade, easily overcome by loaded
teams at any point. This section of the
road from Sacramento to the silver regions

give us one of the finest mountain roads in
the State.
