WTl'lSU FROM ULIFOKNIA. ,,,. SAX FRANCISCO, Aug. 24, '77. •, EDITOR PLAIN DEALER:--I have JUST come in from a prospecting tour through the mining regions of the Pacific slope, and will hasten to send you a few notes. At Pine Grove in St. Louis county. I found four easterns farmer's boys working a shaft twenty feet deep, the ledge being about 18 inches wide. They had just finished a crush of twenty tons of rock, which yielded theiu $445 or an average ,of #22.25 per ton. The eldest of the "boys" \Vas but 21 and the youngest 16. They own the mine from which they are sanguine of taking a fortune during the coming year. I was at Mahoney last week when a rich rock waa struck* The specimens are handsomely ornaJ meuted with tree gold and sulphurets. The Amador cleaned up last week, re­ alising somewhere near $1600Q, rather a small pan-out for the leading miije of Sutler Creek. Smith's ledge at Wooers ravine is panning out well.-- Two weeks ago lie had 48 tons crushed which yield $2,400. I saw at the Citizen's bank a few minutes ago, A beautiful bar of gold worth $2,580. It was the result of 100 tons of quarts takfn out of the New England mine,-- The Idaho mine has declared its 05th dividend of§5asharfe. Old Califoi*nian's who may read this hastily written letter, will be pleased to learn seme- thing about the old Placer regions.-- A new mine was opened Inst week en Rock Creek near the old Calf Pasture mine. The specimens show a yield of $36.35 per ton. A new company' are reopening the St. Lawrence mines with good prospects. It has a lo-stamp mill. The ledge is tjiree feet thick and the rock assays $10 to'the ton.-- I made, a short call at old Emigrant Gap and was surprised at seeing the lively manner iu which business is be­ ing conducted. Hundreds of , miners we re in the ancient "Berg," exchang­ ing their gold dust for provisions, tools, Ac. Gravel mines have been discover­ ed in the vicinity which are now yield­ ing old time wages to some three hun­ dred men., The other day Mr. Kufus Snyder showed me a nugget weighing 22 oz., which he picked up at the old French gulch, which HI the lowest cal­ culations, is worth' $354. Nuggets quite common, * but this one is the largest found for several years. The shutting down of numerous mines, and the reduction of the force in some of the large ones iu Nevada lately, has had the effect of setting a lot of miners on their own resources. In many cases tliis has, of course,' caused distress, especially where the men had families to support and could And no other employment. Pn the Comstock. al­ though there are 3,916 men at work at four dollars a day, there are also 3, 000 idle. UnjJer these circumstances* the ranks of the prospectors have been materially swelled, more especially in California. Men who can find nothing else to do find it better to start in and prospect than to lie about idle' Al­ though the cause is to be deplored, the efleet has, in a measure, been pro­ ductive claims have Deen tounu witiiiu tiiep few months, and are being worked by their owners. * C. K. JS"*The story told of Sitting Bull's departure from Canada.is very touch­ ing. The gentle savage had attended a council with the British ofiicers iu the neighborhood, and afterward took part iu a scalp-dance. The scene recalled s^veet recollections of the happy days wWn he %yas harvesting the hair of hi/ud:-ed8 of Americans, and he «ighed aslie thought how long his scjilping- knife had rusted iuglprio.usly .in its sheath. There was a young half-breed in the company, a Dominion govern­ ment scout, upon whose plentiful shock of hair the great chief's eyes rested longingly. Some words excited the longing into an irrepressible impulse, and Sitting Bull's revolve* was instan­ taneously drawn and aimed. A heart­ less Canadian officer sprang between tlie two at this moment, and rudely said to the noble exile, "I want you to understand that you cannot Commit deviltries here as you do In the Uuited States. I gi ve you and your tribe five days to leave the country. If you are not gone then, I will fight you. If you are ever caught here again, or if you shoot this man I will l:ave you hanged." Sitting Bull put up his weapon, packed up his scalps and other jewelry, and sadly shook the dust of inhospitable Canada from his feet next day.-- Chicago Times. , WASHINGTON CORRKSPONDKNCK. >I! • WASHINGTON, P.

It Is evident enough to those wh* can read the signs of the times that bet* ter days are dawning upon the country* The great question that canno'; be put of) In the labor question, and the peo­ ple who cannot wait for the change to perfect i tself are the laboring, people, Uence the movement now going on In nearly all the large cities for the relief of those people in the way of furnish­ ing them with employment. This !• no easy thing to do in a place like thi«. These Is a very large number of desti­ tute poor in the District, but the dlfllt enlty is to distinguish them from im- post.ers--from worthless, idle vagabonds who would rather beg than work and whose only business in life is to spongo a living out of the public.

In addition to theeo and most, dependent aud helpless of all the idlers here, are the hundreds of Government employes who have jbeen dismissed since last March. These matters have come to be so serious that fears have been entertained lest these thousands of unemployed people should in a recklessness, provoked bjr starvation and priva^iou of every kind, rise up in rebellion to the civil laws and mob rule should prevail for the time. Steps are now being taken, however, for their relief, and a meeting was held on Monday evening last, for - , . i the purpose of discussing the formation of good, for a great manyT T I " » - r , ,.?• of a Li»)or ExAange.

We have seen no hot weather for the past week. In fact the last three days have been rainy and disihal enough.-- Base Ball has been incommoded by it and the street oars about ^th* only gainers apparently. The theatri­ cal season opened with the beginning of September and the cool weather this week hits greatly enhanced tho enjoy­ ment afforded by the play. OUYK. I A NOTICEABLE FACT,--It is noticeable that the cat who rnouuts the ridgepole of the woodhouse and sits apart at the concert, and is wrapped in thoughtful, abstracted silence until the programme is about half through, opens out, when he does eojna in, w.ith a wail that curd­ les the blood iu a frozeu beef, aud rouses all the other members of the troupe to a very agony of frenzied emulation, .
