ALL Is NOT GOLD.
AdVices From San Diego Explode the
Bubble.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 1.-THE ex-
cltement in Southern California over the
gold fields is cooling off rapidly. Only
people attracted from other parts of the
State have rushed to the scene. This rush
has been mainly from tho southern part of
the State and Arizona. Hundreds of those
who started off headlong, expecting to be
able to lie on the grounds and let
$50 nuggets walk into their pock-
cts, are now coming back and their
wOeiul stories and disgusted faces
have caused many who were ready to start
for the mines TO sell off their outfits for
anything they could get. Many of those
returning did net even get as far as the
digeings, and turned back when within a
few miles of the camp, discouraged by the
reports of those already on their way back.
Advices from San Diego indicate that,
notwithstanding the backward rush that
hss begun, there is still steady but quiet
movement toward the mines. An old
COmstocker, who has been to the diggiDgs,
returned to Los Angeles with this story.
He prospected for ten days and found
nothing to Justify a longer stay. He Gays
the reports about spurious finds are true.
