It is only fair to presume that the McCracken will prove capable of building up six States. About seventy miles north of the McCracken lode was located last Fall by Ridenour & Co.,, and named the Blackberry, it's owners being la boring men and practical miners, and upon it's discovery conceived the idea that they had struck good thing, and without making any demonstration to attract jumpers or bond sharps, went quietly to work to test their discovery. It is rather an out of the way place, and visitors were few and far between, but recently the fact has been discovered that these hardy min- CTS have sunk shafts for distance of six hundred feet along the lode, and have de- veloped body of ore that by the most careful tests, will mill upwards of S2OO per ton, and that they now have ore in sight by actual measurement valued at $500 .OOO. California speculators are nearly wild to get hold of it daily. Different parties are paying flying visits to the mine to con- vince MT.

There remain until 8:30 and take the cars tor San Fernando, the dis tance being only twenty-two miles. Then take the fine and large Concord coaches Of the Telegraph stage company at la D. m, (as We canNa,) arrive at Bakersfield the next evening from six to eight D.

In this day of au- merous accidents to steamers, this route is preferab able; as a matter Of speed it surely is the better one. At this time, a pas senger can with safety count on arriving in this city from Tucson, in from seven and half to eight days.
