S"ildiDeG It would appear that the

49,, Sich, and permanent, ana thaE the
80 iown will have Q corresponding i'm
So~tanca. The site for the town is GER
s";nIv a most eligible one. The amount
~ -.tor In the canon above is entirely
UnGicient for present purposes, and is Of
: cod quality. The proprietOrs are
.;uRinR n well in the centre Of the town,
snd Il e contemplated, We understand, to
Ming a canal from Reese river to the
Soot Of the slope upon which the town is
.;,nated. Ia that event water sufficient

In he obtained ia abundance. Messrs.
HINT L Co. have pursued . very liberal
noI;cV in the transfer Of lOts, and the en-
~ With which men are pushing bull.
trS' evidences that the liberality Of those
TcStIemen is duly appreciated. For
snvn Of two weeks growth AmadOr is
certsinly Q thriving ore. Nor can we see
snv rood reason Why it should not con.
Hnue to thrive. Severe weather may
check its growth during the winter but
that growth will, no doubt, go on in
he spring. The present pleasant wealth
n NAV continue, and il SO there is no rea
son Why there should be any check at al'.
We regard it as . fortunate circumstance
that mining developments, and settle
ments, should be made to the north Of US
since they will centralize Austin more
and more, aud throw into our traders
hands the iobbing trade of this whole
section. We, therefore, say success to
the town and the mines Of Amador.
DIADEx.-This ledge is situated on
Lander Hill, short distance in front Of
the Mills, Post & White. 1t was discov-
cred several months since, and a shaft
was sunk to the depth Of fifteen or twcn-
" feet, but failing to find . well defined
ledge, work upon it was discontinued. -
Being satisfied, however, that there was
q good ledge at that place, the company
commenced another shaft about twenty
feet from the old one. Their an;icipa
tons have proven to be correct. and
few days since their perseverance, was re-
warded by striking fine ledge five feet
wide, at q depth Of twenty feet in the
shaft. The quartz contains red oxides in
abundance, also some chlOrides, and will
undoubtedly pay well About five tons
have already been extracted, and work is
being prosecuted every day. Some Of il
will soon be sent TO the mill to be crushed.
We predict good returns.
SrEPBEx A. DoUGLAA- ledge is
situated on Lander Hill short distance
back Of the Seymour. An incline has
been sunk upon it to the depth Of about
fifty feet, and q considerable quantity Of
rock extracted, several tons Of which are
now lying at the mouth Of the Incline
The ledge pitches well, not deviating
much from perpendicular.
SAAANTHA.-Two inclines have been
sunk upon this ledge, both to n depth of
over fifty feet. They seemed to be well
provided with windlaSses, ropes, substan.
iial tracks, &c, but when We visited the
claim day before yesterday, no work
seemed TO be doing. This should not
long be permitted. This Samatha is sit.
uated near the summit Of Lander Hill.
Rock taken from il has assayed as high
a. fifteen thousand dollars to the ton.
