Startling Discoveries. —ln another column
will be found a letter from Angel’s, disclosing
some evidence that tends to criminate the mur
derer Colbrook, with numerous crimes. The
San Joaquin Republican, says : “Mr. Compton,
who has just returned from the mountains in
forms us, that the ranch situated on the Cala
veras road, between the Calaveras and Stanis
laus rivers, formerly belonging to Capt. Col
brook, brother to the one bung for the murder
of Armstrong, having passed into other hands,
the present owner in cleaning out a well a short
time since, discovered portions of the skeletons
of twenty-seven men. It was at first supposed
that these bones were the remains of Indians,
but on closer examination, it was clearly proved
that they were the bones of white men. There
is a suspicion prevalent that Capt. Colbrook has
i> nin some way concerned in this affair. He
I. however, disappeared, and active search is
being nif.de for him."
Kmtg ia nts. —Emigrant trains pass through
this : lace every day, to settle on the rich lands
of'.he grazing counties, bordering on the Coast
Rang* others stop convenient to the Mines,
and take up ranches, so as to work at mining
during the rainy season.
The Big Tree road is now the main artery
leading from the Southern Mines to Carson Val
ley ; the travel, both ways, is increasing daily.
On Wednesday, two teams came into Murphy’s
from Carson, to buy goods : they speak in the
highest terms of tlie road, and will continue a
transportation and passenger line until the
rainy season sets in. Freighters, by the Placer
villc route, are compelled to carry with pack
mules, w hile, by the Big Tree Road, heavy loads
are hauled with six-mule teams and in twenty
four hours less time.
A semi-monthly Express runs from Murphy’s
on the arrival of each steamer, making the dis
tance from Murphy’s through to Carson Valley,
in fourteen hours.
The citizens ol Carson Valley are about or
ganizing a Company to establish a Teleraph
Line via the Big Tree, to intersect the State
Line at Murphy’s.
Expresses vs. Time.— On VVc Inesday last,
the Pacific and Wells, Fargo & Co.’s Express
Messengers, had quite a “ time,” in their efforts
to first supply San Andreas with Atlantic Pa
pers per Golden Gate. Both Expresses had re
lays stationed at the Spring Valley House, in
order to anticipate the stage and trade at this
place. Mr. Knight, of Wells, Fargo & Co., was
the first to salute our editorial sanctum with a
Tribune and Herald ‘"round shot.” The Pacific
Express, in a moment after, “wheeled into line"
and discharged, in the shape of grape and can
nister. a volley of San Francisco papers ; full
files of Atlantic papers, and Illustrated Jour
nals; also the Illustrated London News and other
Foreign papers. Mr. Chas. Faville, is the only
regular Newspaper Agent, in this place, for the
above papers, and he furnishes them at San
Francisco prices.
Piscatorial.— Several disciples of old Isaak
Walton, taking advantage of the late rain, have
been on an amateur fishing excursion to the
head waters of the San Antonio, where, with
basket, bait, 11 y, hook-and-line and other con
tra-nmsculated resources of a deceptive nature,
they passed a day in the cunning dexterity of
angling, for Brook Trout. They succeeded in
capturing as much as thirty pounds of the spee
ded monsters, much to the chagrin of some
Parlor Prophets about the adage of—“A Fisher
man's Luck, ice.” There is no finer recreation,
than the pleasure of angling, enjoyed amidst
the beautiful scenery of our mountains far from
the cares of business and insipid u society.”
Snakes.—We have been informed, says the
State Journal, that the snake-charmer, Mr. Wier
~on, recently lost his entire stock-trade at San
-Jose, under the following circumstances. He
had secured an engagement in Rowe & Co.’s
•Circus, and fearing that his snakes had become
torpid from ahe cold climate of San Francisco,
they were placed in their glass case, in the sun,
the glass acting as a conductor of heat, killed
them. Mr. Wiersen has gone to the mountains
for a now supply of “varmints.”
Origin of “the Printer’s Devil.”— ln the
year 1561, a book was printed, called the Anato
my of the Mass. It had only 172 pages in it;
but the author,—a pious monk, —was obliged to
add fifteen pages to correct the blunders.—
These he attributed to the special instigation of
the “devil ” to defeat the work.
Since this time, the printers, like many
.others, have been in the habit of charging
•theiy .own faults upon a devil ; and as the
youth that has charge of the rollers is gen
erally the hjackest and most mischievous
of the inmates of the printing office, the
name became attached to him.
'lt is said, that some interested parties, in

Improvements at Angels—(Juartz Mining — Arri-
I val of Emigrants—Discovery of human skele
tons at Colbrook's Ranch, <s•£■., <|*c.
Angel’s Camp, October I4th, 1856.
Mr. Editor: —Things, business and mining,
are progressing in this town, with increased ve
locity, since I last wrote to you. I have been
in nearly all sections of Calaveras county, dur
ing this season, and I think that there is no
place that can compete with Angel’s, in the
amount of business «nd improvements, and suc
cess in mining, which has attended the citizens
here. Since last May, six stone buildings have
been put up, and two more are under contract.
Four that are just built, are two stories high |
among which are the Odd Fellow’s Hall, and
Lake’s Hotel, which form a most imposing front
of eighty-four feet on Main Street, and fifty-six
feet deep. This Hotel is one of the most com
modious and substantial buildings in the South
ern mines. The Odd Fellows’ Hall, is complet
ed and ready for the Lodge, which is the old
est in Calaveras county, having been Instituted
in 1854.
Other buildings and improvements, have
been, and are constantly being undertaken and
completed. And the miners were never as
busy, in the dry season, as they have been dur
ing the past summer. The consequence is, that
there are as many claims, probably, in this dis
trict at this time, that are paying from $lO to
sl6 a day, as there were four years ago. But
these claims are nearly all quartz mines, and
they are not all found yet; for since I last wrote
to you, the following success has attended the
mining operations in this vicinity. Mr. Peter
Williams & Co., struck a lode about two weeks
since which has paid, by panning, one hundred
and fifty dollars per week to the hand, besides
the quartz which is piled up for future grinding.
Mathews, Codington and others struck the same
lode, and are taking out quartz, that may be
called incredibly rich, and they are grinding it
with araslras; but have not yet washed out as
I have heard. One of the Company offered to
bet that they could get fifteen hundred dollars
out of three sacks of the quartz. French &
Minard struck another vein, and washed out
with pan and hand-mortar, about fourteen hun
dred dollars ; when French sold his share for
twelve hundred dollars. Another rich lode was
struck last week, near the Hawk-Eye House,
and some six hundred dollars taken out the first
afternoon. Messrs. Davis <fe Co., sold out their
claim, a few days since, to some gentlemen from
San Francisco ; they were paid ten thousand
dollars for the claim. They still have shares in
the Cherokee Claim, which is a pocket larger and
richer, than any other State ever had, except
California; and there is scarcely a day, but
witnesses some new discovery in quarts.
A large number of emigrants have arrived
this fall, in the place, by way of Murphy’s and
the Big Tree. Some have gone down the Stan
islaus river; others to the plains, to ranching ;
while a number are camped near this place, and
are engaged in hauling rock into town, for
building. They all unite in saying, that the
the new road is the best they ever travelled,
over the mountains, (and nearly all the men
arc persons who have crossed before,) and that
there is plenty of good grass for stock.
Some time since a man named Colbrook,
murdered another man here, and was hanged.
Since that time much has been said of the char
acter, that he and company have ever borne, at
their place of residence, on the Stockton trail,
in Salt-Spring Valley. A report had got round
that somebody had found six human skeletons,
buried in one pile ; then the story got to seven,
and a man said that he had seen them. Then
it was twenty-four human skeletons ,— heads in
one place and bodies in another ;—and this eve
ning they are in town, (that is, the skulls.) and
how many are there ? you may ask: There are
twenUj-three skulls that I saw and counted, in Dr.
Boon’s office, and report says, that in all, about
fortv were found. “ Angels.”
Convention’.— The ‘-Independent Miner.-,” hold
a convention to-day at San Andreas. Look
sharp, gentlemen, and you will see a nigger in
the fence.— Calaveras Chronicle, Oct. 11/A.
The Independent Miners,
(D —n them) what fools they be,
For they refuse to listen
To the Chronicle and me.
I have advised those devils
To drop each pick and spade,
And to elect our loafers,
For politic’s their trade.
They merely turn their noses
As if to snuff the air,
And answer by their gestures,
We will look to you with care.
I believe they have us labeled
And branded (fond of pelf,)
And at the next election,
They will lay us on the shelf.
I say dear Independent ,
Is Bingay possessed of sense?
He thinks he sees a woolly-head
A sticking in the fence.
I’m sure that you will pity him—
Each miner and each lass,
He only saw his frontispiece
Reflected in a glass. *
’Twould be well to advise him
To shun ithe place of glasses,
For should he pass a concave lens,
lie might see forty asses.

Proceedings of the Miners' Con
vention.
The Miners met in Convention at San Andreas
on Saturday last, the 11th inst. The following
is the result of their deliberations :
Mr. F. G. McDonald called the Convention to
order.
On motion, D. D. Fox, Esq., was chosen chair
man.
On motion, a committee of three was ap
pointed on credentials, consisting of Messrs.
Haskell, Robertson and Gorman. The commit
tee reported the following Precincts represented:
Murphy’s, North Branch, Davis’ Store, San
Antonio, Chile Flat, Kentucky House, Bay State
Ranch, San Andreas, Upper Calaveritas, Buck
eye, Forman’s, Old Gulch, Greaserville, Lati
mer’s Store and Cave City.
On motion of Mr. Haskell, a committee of
three was appointed to report permanent offi
cers for the Convention, consisting of Dr. Cong
don, James Tait and J. F. Beckett. The fol
lowing persons were reported and unanimously
elected:
D. D. Fox, President; J. G. Jordan and Capt.
Wilson, Vice Presidents; F. G. McDonald and
E. B. Robertson, Secretaries.
On motion of Mr. Robertson, a committee of
five was appointed to report suitable resolutions,
consisting ol Messrs. Haskell, Norris,’ Beckett,
Gorman and McMillin.
The following resolutions were reported and
adopted:
Resolved , That we stand upon a distinct Mi
ners’ organization—the object of which is to
elect honest and capable men to represent us in
the Legislature of the State.
Resoived , That we will support no man who
is not pledged to uphold, and fearlessly defend
the Miners’ Rights.
Resolved , That we deprecate all fusion or af
filiation with any of the political parties of the
county, let them sail under whatever banner
they may.
Resolved , That the report which has gone
forth that we are headed, controled and made
the tool of by aspirants of either of the politi
cal parties, is a fulsome falsehood.
Resolved, That the use of the mineral lands
of California is the exclusive right of the miner,
and as such should not be trammeled or lim
ited by any legislative enactments ; and any at
tempt to deprive the miner of the free and un
interrupted enjoyment of the same, we regard
as an attempt at monoply of the grossest char
acter.
Resolved , That we hold it to be a paramount
duty of the Legislature of this State, to make
an appropriation for the Emigrant Road leading
from Carson Valley to the Big Tree in Calave
ras county, already opened by her hardy sons.
On motion, the Convention proceeded to the
nomination of candidates for the different offi
ces of the county, and Senatorial district.

in nomination for Senator. Mr. J. F. Beckett
having received a majority of all the votes cast,
was declared duly nominated.
The Convention next proceeded to the nomi
nation of three candidates for the Assembly.—
Mr. E. B. Robertson, of Buckeye Precinct, J.
G. Jordan, of Second Crossing of the Calave

B@~Dr. L. J. Czapkay—The gentleman
whose name forms the caption of this notice is
one of the few modern physicians whose appli
cation to his profession and devotion to the af
flicted, render him alike an ornament to the
one and a benefit to the other. A Hungarian
by birth, he sought with Kossuth to place his
country among the nations of the earth, beyond
the oppressor’s rule, that her sons might re
joice in the practice of those precepts which
are alike our glory and our pride. In his efforts
so to do, he has reaped the reward of ineffectual
resistance to oppression, and “ a home and a
country know him no more.” Apart, however,
from his claims upon our consideration as a
patriot, the testimonials of character and ca
pacity which be brings entitle him to public
confidence, to the exclusion of those who pos
sess neither the one or the other. As a gentle
man his character is untarnished : as a physi
cian, his skill unsurpassed ; and to those whose
imprudence has left upon them the taints of
dfSilse, we can conscientiously commend him
with the assurance that in him they will find a
friend whom to know is great gain. The Dr.’s
office is Xo 3 and 4, Armory Hall, corner of
