MINING AND OrHER MATTERS AT EAsrMAN's.-

somewhat scattering correspondent will abide in
the above mentioned locality, where there is said
to be much gold, and that in good-sized Jumps.
All the claims in this vicinity being vigorous

ger amount OF gold than usual will be taken out
this season. The high bank in the Eastman and
John Smith claim melts away before the hydraul-
c like dew before the sun. 1t is said to be big

is doing the same kind of work, with most fat

Cunningham's claim were nearly covered by a
bank cave of soft, slashy red dirt. A French
man was completely buried, but by chance be
went to digging in the right direction, and came
10 light just in time to prevent having his breath
shut off. That consider really better item
than it would have been if Ben. Cunningham and
all hands had escaped with life but broken legs

NOTORIOUS INDIAN KILLED.-We learn from
a correspondent at Fort CASTOR that Cerenaltin
John, chief of the Hoopa Valley tribe, was killed
on the opposite side of the river from the Fort a
few days since. Nothing more is known of his
taking off than that bullet did the work. He is
the Indian who killed Frank, the murderer of
Col. Stocktan and party, year ago, and it is
presumable that some of Franks relatives have
revenged his death. Cerenaltin John is said to
have been the bravest and most intelligent chief
of the coast tribes.

gates so elected are to choose four delegates to

earlier and more successfully will it be accom-
plished. There is no time to lose. Let every
man belonging to the party see to it that his
Union neighbor is at the polls next Saturday
night, although it does cost him little trouble.
Here are the resolutions adopted BY the State
Central Committee for the guidance Of the party
in the coming canvass
Resolued,. That the primaries in the several
counties throughout the State, for the election Of
delegates to the said State Convention, be held

All legal voters who will pledge themselves to

mittee earnestly urge upon all members of the
