No GoLD.-The., steamer Coquilie,
which left San Francisco for Gold Bluff
some time since on the same mission that
the steam.tug Bubne left Eureka, but with
a different style of machinery, returned to
San Francisco on the 18th ult. with any
quantity Of sand but, in which, however,
the color Of gold could NOT be found. The
expedition was under command Of Col. Tay.
lor, of New York, and the trip cost about
$4,000. The pump worked well, but after
prospecting the coast for FIVE miles could
obtain nothing but gray sand, which over
lies the black sand, in which gold is only
found. A Company is now on the way
from New York with centrifugal pump
Of great power, with which it is hoped the
black sand can be reached. The e1pedi-
tion will go up again as soon as the New
Workers arrive.-West Coast Signal.
