FLoArlxs FRlIaHr-Crsco MOVED TO
SHIxeLr SpRISss.-A correspondent of
San Francisco paper, writing from
Single Springs under date of May 10th,
inquiries and eIpatiates as follows:
"where is Cisco? You and others are
ready to answer and say that it is, or
was, somewhere in the mountains on
the Dutch Flat route Of the Pacific Rail-
road. But there must be ONE mistake
about it, for soc an immense quantity
Of goods coming here by railroad,
marked Cisco. Can it be that | have
had = Rip Van Wrinkle Sleep, and that
have awakened up in Cisco instead Of
Single SPRING.? It may be so; but,
when I look around me, | see no bar
rem, rocky or snow-clad mountains sur
rounding me, but in their place, waving
fields Of grass and grain, and shady
oaks, and graceful pines. also see the
same sober, familiar faces, daily going
through their regular routine Of bust
ness, and I AN, therefore, convinced
that this ia the real Single Springs,
and that Cisco must DO lost, and there
fore, | warn your merchants about
marking goods for Cisco, for fear they
will he also Lost. They certainly will
not cross the mountains On this route
and then 10 Cisco, via Carson, Virginia
and the Truckee, although many Of the
goods that came, travelled a hundred
and eighty Clso) miles BY the Pacific
Railroad, and then about forty miles by
the Sacramento and Placervills Railroad
TO get here. Strange, Was il not? Who
can explain it, Can Croker, Sanford,
or their almond-eyed cohorts? pre-
sumo they can, but we might as well
ask them who owns or controls the
Placerville Railroad, and why this road
is not pushed forward. Ny own hum
BILE opinion is, that it is controlled by
the Pacific Railroad firm and that, when
they finish their road and find that it
will not answer the necessities Of the
,imes, their attention will be turned TO
this road, to obtain appropriations OF
land and money, and build it. believe
il will never 90 made, except by them.
And having this end in view, they in
tend TO try TO control the conventions
and elections. They have Sye and
Stewart in Congress. They intend that
Governor shall be nominated who has
no priaciple but the love Of gain, and
no scruples az to how he gets it.
CoPPlR SxaLrISG PEAvIsE Dis
raicr.-Copper smelling is about to be
commenced in good earnest in Pesvine
District. Two Of Haskell'I patent fur

m~ediately upon their arrival a. the
mines. The furnaces are capable OF
melting sixteen tons Of ore, each, per-
day and ~ no great expense for fuel or
power-,he steam for driving the blow
ers being generated in = she'll OF boiler
iron which surrounds the brick work OF
tho furnace. There are many leads IN
the district affording ores astonishingly
rich in copper and containing besides
from twenty-five TO one hundred dollars
per ton in gold and silver. Mr.. Haskell,
the inventor, will himself superinsend
tho erection and running Of the fur
naces. We believe be will do custom
matchmaking for all who bring him
suitable ores.
BUILDING. - Mr.. Vim. Gibson has
bought the premises opposite CANDLES
drug store, on Main street, Gold Hill,
known As the "Blue Wing" demol-
ished the old building, and is now put
ting up 8 two-story frame house-the
lower story to be occupied as q first
class Saloon, aud the second as a dwell
ing. We presume Mr. Gibson intends
putting on a neat and tasty front on the
building. A small two Itory building
10 also being put up on Main street, a
few doors south Of the Yellow Jacket
Office, by Mr.. 0'Neil, TO be occupied as
. tin shop. A large two story building

ting q coat Of fre-proof paint. Glad to
see these Improvements going on.
CANE SlAR.-Cams near falling on
them. What? A bank Of dirt which had
been dug under, to the rear Of Empire
hosting works. on the Divide. 1t gave
sigus Of falling, but one man insisted on
renewing his picking under il, but his
companions per-emptorily forbid him
doing so. While he WAS advancing to
the undermining, the cave took place,
lust in time to anticipate another Jog
from the miner and serve him with q
covering response. Its very unsafe TO
have one Of these banks deposit several
hundred pounds on you.
