with over-mastering intent to be among the
a and file Of the first grand army Of
worsbippers. Old familiar faces are to be
everywhere met with. White Pine vete-
rams, emigrants from the sunless CANYONS
and deep mountain gorges of Typo, dis
appointed ones from the Base Range,
and wandering nomads from almost all
quarters, are now daily congregating in
this embryo town of Candelaria. And
there is both room enough and work
enough in the way Of prospecting for all
who come. Let not this assurance, how
ever, be interpreted in the sense in which
miners and others out Of employment are
prone to view or interpret such things, for
while there Is a large country 10 prospect,
a few good mines. and a large number Of
miners employed here. there is not inst
now openings enough for all the labor
that may geek employment here. / say
this in order that those who are employed
and have hopes of finding engagements
and utilization for their labor elsewhere
may remain where they are, and not give
up, as many sometimes do, a certainty for
an uncertainty, assured bread n butter
for an unassured dry crust, and the soft
side Of a plank in some paperless, wind
swept den misnamed room, or house.
The climate is not quite as mild as may be
met with in other places, and for this and
other reasons. Candelaria is a good place
for those fond of comfort, and not over
burdened with coin, to keep way from for
a season at least, or until the boom reaches
the tide, as it will towards the approach Of
the summer solstice.

The whole range Of country, so long dor
mant, almost a dreary unproductive waste,
promises henceforth to command no small
share of the attention Of the local and out
side mining world.
THE NORTHERN BELLE,
The Mount Diablo and the Victor are
great mines, and the former is just now
much more valuable, because, to appear
ances, more permanent than it heretofore
has appeared. 1t has paid from the grass
roots down to its present depth of more
tuan 700 feet, at which point there are very
extensive and rich ore developments. Div
idends will soon again be resumed, and
when the Mount Diablo, whose new and
elegant hosting works are now in full blast,
shall m TO mill its wonderfully rich
ores, its dividends will add to the wealth
which viii soon commence to flow San
Franciscowards from this section. The
Victor mine is owned by Messrs. Rhodes
and WATSON, Of this place. who, for some
unexplained reason. have refused, and still
refuse to list it ON the San Francisco
Boards. Were it so listed it would certain
ly sell for a high price, because Of its dem
onstrated merit. The Mount Potosi is well
located, promises well, and may ultimately
develop into as big a bonanza as either Of
the three former. The East Mount Diablo
also promises well; so does the Holmes and
Bedding, and Others not yet thrown out a.
a bait to the public. The great drawback
here just now is the scarcity of wood and
water, but more particularly Of the latter,
which sells here readily for five and six
cents per gallon, while the former is thought
TO be dirt cheap at S1S and $40 per cord.

these arrangements shall have been carried
out, one will have a show to indulge in the

There are more ideal millionaires in this
camp than in any place Of equal size on the
Coast. Every other blue or red-shirted
sturdy fellow one meets, who has been for
q long time back living, as did the famous
Micawber, in expectancy, now considers
himself as already booked for a tower"
around the world, a la Grant. Man and
vanity are almost equivalents in meaning,
and the weaker vessel of the human mould
is not by a long odds the most inclined to
Weld to weaknesses of this sort.
Among the Base Rangers whom l have
met here, / may mention Marion Farrell,
l.. Banner. and some old-time miners and
prospectors from the land of furnaces and
arsenic fumes. Farrell purposes, he told
me, moving here sometime within this or
the coming month. In him Eureka will
lose one good enterprisiDg citizen, but what
will be your loss will be our gain.
WHISKY IS KING
Here, already. We have now ten saloons,
and there are two or three moreunder way.
What is most needed here is a good lodg-
in~g-house. Amy person who would put up
such a place would realize a golden harvest
the coming summer. Why not one or w o
of your lodging house keepers, who krow
how to conduct one, come here? There is
an ample field and sure return offered here.
A limb of the law, and a passable disciple
| of Esculapius, who knows SON ething about
drugs and sich ~fixin's," would also find
| a profitable field here for both his skill and
wares. The same may be said in favor of
a good general merchandising establish
| ment and a good boarding house or restau-
| rant. OF hurdy houses we already have
one, and of the demi monde, there appears
a sufficiency, if numbers may be taken as
proof,
Lot-jumpers appear as active as ants
and as thick as autumn leaves after a north
wester. / have seen only one knoek-down
