Missing EXCITEMENT IN CALIFORNIA The
Sonora iCnl.) Democrat Of the 9th. reports
the following, which goes to show that the
placer mines of that county have not been
worked out:
The miners at Chinese Camp and vicinity
have been busy for week past stalking off a
large amount OF ground which is expected to
yield big pay" Two colored miners on Tues
day, the 10th instant, found rich pay in claim
they were prospecting. about one-hah mile
northeast Of Chinese. Some Cinnamon had
been working in n small gulch which runs into
Woods creek. but it not paving sufficient.
they quit work on the claim some time since.
The darkeys prospected on this China claim
high on the banks where the Cinnamon had
not worked, and struck diggings that pay from
one to two ounces a day to the hand Some
OF those who have taken up claims during the
excitement, have found good prospects. and
several have commenced sluicing. This dis
covery has infused a new life among the peo-
pie of that town. .. ...

PRosYEcr1xo.-A vast and comparatively
une1plored region Of country lies to the south
Of rs, toward the Inskip range. which offers
fair field fos the pruspector and miner. Su-
perfeial explorations have been made on nearly
every range Of mountains within an area OF
one hundred miles from Elko, but they have
generally been so slight ard careless that no
one who desires to acquire mines should be at
all intimidated by the ffsYaent reports heard
on the streets, that ''there is nothing there. "
To illustrate, We came down from White Pine
in June last prepared to so north, to Cope
district, which was then Just in it's infancy,
and here met a party Of old prospectors, who
were Just in from that region. and they so dis
Outraged us BY bad reports that We abandoned
the trip. Later developments showed the er-
TOR into which we had fallen, by listening to
ths honest but erroneous opinions Of men in
whom the most unbounded confidence was
placed. Cope district, to-day, stands where
White Pine did one year ago, and will. twelve
months hence, occupy as prominent posi-
ton before the world as does White Pine at the
present writing. Other new districts will be
found and rich mines located and successfully
worked in mountains that are OF easy access
from the great continental thoroughfare, which
we now little dream of. Scarcely day passes
but we hear Of some new mining strike having
been made within the boundaries Of Elko
county. The display IF energy and activity in
exploring the mountains will secure to the ma
Jointly Of prospectors generous reeompense
for their hours Of toll and deprivation. 1t
may take months, even years. TO secure n for
tune; but the majority of those who hang to
it, will eventually meet with 4 rich reward.
Let the army Of explorers move ahead with
determin8tion-with no such word as fail
in their vocabulary-and the result will b
well. Other mining sections, equal in rich
ness to those of White Pine and Cope, will be
found

LANDS IN SEvApA.-Yesterdayw we met an old
friend, the old ''wheel-horse of Democracy -
Colonel Henley, who has been spending his
Summer vacation amid the sagebrush. grease
wood. alkali, and high attitudes of Nevada
We were surprised to listen to his eneomiums
of the soil Of what we were accustomed 10 con-
slider the absolutely worthless land. Often
have We wondered what the good and wise
Creator made all that good for nothing country
for. All of IL seemed a. worthless as the APP
pies Of Sodom. But the Colonel tells q very
different story. He says that species Of wild
sage which grows there IN abundance, Is. dur
ing the Winter, the finest feed in the world
for cattle, being filed with rich seed, that
stock thrive wonderfully. that il is the best
grazing country on the continent, that the stock
brought from there TO this market is the best
IN market, that sheep driven there from Cali
fornia will gain twenty pounds in weight in
one season, and that no soil anywhere pro-
duces as fine vegetables as that hitherto-de-
Epised alkai country; and further, that the
little valleys scattered all through the country
produce the finest bunch-grass in the world

think that the State of Nevada has something

In the afternoon we lost two very
interesting exercises by being crowd
ed out of the High-School room again.
We allude to the exercise by Mr..
Townsend, of Rochester, n. Y, up
on the Constitution, and that of Rob
ert G. Spencer, Of Milwaukee, upon
Penmanship. We are glad to hear
that they were carefully listened to
by those present, and all felt that
they were practical in connection with
the work Of the school-room.
After this was held in the assem-
bly, hall business meeting we
have not copy of the resolutions
adopted, nor complete list of the Of
fcers elected. The teachers of Ke-
nosha county will be glad to learn
that Warren D. Parker is president,
Fl. A. Gaylord treasurer, and G.. S.
Albee and Capt. r. Graham are on
the executive committee next year.
The exercises Of the session were
closed by lecture on Thursday eve
ming by Prof S. Ell. Carpenter, Of
the University Of Wisconsin. He
took the place assigned to P. A.
Chadbourne, LID, Of the same in
stitution, on the programme. His
subject was university Education"
His views were generally regarded as
sound, and left the impression that
much must yet be done before we
have any University in the country.
His lecture had the merit Of brevity,
and was we'll received. At its close
President Kerr gracefully declared the
meeting adjourned SINE die.
Thus closed the pleasant, profta-
bic and harmonious session of the
Wisconsin State Teachers Associa-
ton for 1869.

PLUTARCH's OPINION OF PARENTS
WHO EMPLOY IGNORANT TEACHERS
FOR THEIR CHILDREN. "There are
certain fathers Nowadays says he
"Who deserve that men should spit
upon them with contempt, for intrus-
ting their children with unskillful
teachers even those, who they are
assured beforehand, are wholly in
competent for their work; which is
an error of like nature with that of
the sick man, who, to please his
friends, forbears to send for physi-
clan that might save his life, and en-
Toys amountebank, that quickly des-
patches him out of the world. VAST
notofsuch that Crates spake, when he
said that, if he could get up to the
highest place in the city, he would
lift up his voice, and thence make this
pro clamation: what mean you, fell
low citizens, that you turn every
stone to scrape wealth together, and
take SO little care Of your children;
those, to whom you must one day
relinquish all p" "Many fathers
there are" continues Plutarch, ''who
so love their money and hate their
children, that, lest it should cost
them more than they are willing to
spare, to hire a good master for them,
rather chose such persons to instruct
their children as are of no worth
thereby beating down the market,
that they may purchase a cheap ig-
norance." He then relates the anec-
dote Of Aristippus, who, being ask
ed by scottish father, for what sum
he would teach his child, replied,
" a thousand drachms.'' Whereup-
the father cried out, sob, I could
buy slave at that rate! . The
philosopher replied, "Do it then,
and instead Of one, thou shalt have
