EXCITEMENT AT PITrsBuRG.-Very favora-
bic news has been received from these mines
within the past week. Hundreds of persons
have rushed to Pittsburg, and ale engaged in
locating claims, prospecting, DC. We also
learn that new town, called Brownsville,
has been located about two miles this side of
the town of Pittsburg, and many are taking
town lots and preparing to build. up town.
Claims are selling at very high figure, but
there are SO many rumors that we will not
try to give figures. Shares have sold in the
original Twenty six claim at as high as
eight dollars per foot. A regular express is
now running from Shasta to Rttsburg, semi
weekly, and persons going out there should
tnke their blankets and provisions with them,
rs there is not sufficient accommodation for
all in that vicinity.

BUNKER HILL CLAIM.-The proprietors of
this claim, located on Middle Creek,
about three miles from Shasta, have again
struck it rich. Last year this claim yielded
thousands of dollars, but it seems they lost
the rich vein last fall. A few days ago the
company employed Mr.. Pryor, an old Cor
rish miner, and in a short time after he COM
meneed operations ha struck the vein richer
than ever. Some of the dirt already taken
out yields as high as twelve dollars to the
pan. They now trace the same lead from
Gold Hill, between Salt Greek and the S,scra-
mento river, across Middle Greek towards
Waugh's Ferry, and it is supposed to con-
tinue across the river into what is known as
tie "old diggings," where a rich quartz
claim was recently located The ground has
been taken up for 4 considerable distance
north of the Bunker Hill claim, with fair
prospects of finding the same rich vein of
gold.
