SATURDAY MORN., MAY 16, 1857.
The Wagon Road Convention.
The proceedings of the convention to lake
into consideration the propriety of improving
the “Amador Wagon Road Route,” follow
ing the divide between the waters of the Cos
unmes and Mokclumnc, are published in this
paper, and do not require any extended re
marks from us.
It will be seen that it is of the utmost im
portance that the members of the Finance
Committee, (to raise survey funds) act prompt
ly. Only a small sum, comparatively, is need-1
ed, but that should be forthcoming at once.
Let us see, from competent authority, what
the character of the route is. Those who 1
have passed over it—men entitled to the
highest credibility—pronounce it superior to :
any other route, the opinions of some of those
interested north and south of us to the con
trary notwithstanding.
The more good roads wo have the better
it is for the State at large. The more good
ones we have in our own immediate vicinity,
the better it is for our county. We arc in
favor of building roads over all the routes, if
it can be accomplished ; but here in Amador j
we have an independent route, possessing, we
believe, advantages in grade and distance over j
any other proposed line. We would be false j
to ourvelves if we did not attempt to improve 1
the advantages we possess.
The report of the Surveying Tarty may
show to Sacramento that her money would j
be more profitably expended between the
Mokclumnc and Cosumues than between the
Cosumncs and American.
Variety Goods. —lt “ variety is the spice
of life,” Wesley Jackson surely ought to
grow corpulent, for he is constantly in the
midst of more variety than any other indi
vidual we know of. We have heard of estab
lishments where anything could be purchased,
“from a cambric needle to an anchor;” and
the Jackson Drug and Book Store comes as
near to that mark as any we have visited in
the State. It is well worth the while of any
one to call and examine the stock of variety
goods with which his counters and shelves are
loaded; ten to one you will set some little
article you have been wanting for a long time,
without knowing where to find it. At all
events, you will spend a half an hour or an
hour very agreeably.
Tub Lassoing Case. —The villain who, 1
near the Mountain Spring House, caught the
little girl with a lasso, remains in jail at this
place. We learn that proof can probably be
adduced that he had long been engaged in
kidnapping young Indians, which he carried
down and sold to Mexican rancheras in the
southern part of the State. For this offense
the statute imposes a heavy penalty.
“ Render i nto C.ksar,” Ac. —The Butte
Record pitches into the County Judge of that |
county, because His Honor, professing De
mocracy and having been elected by Demo-;
crats, (and even now a candidate for further
favor from the same party,) lends his influ
ence and patronage to the support of a bogus
Republican sheet. “Sock it to him,” Mr.
Record —the genuine Democracy of Butte |
certainly will not fail to sustain you in a con
test with a man who betrays psuedo-Democ
racy as plainly as the Judge.
State Central Com. —There should be a
full meeting of the Democratic State Central
Committee at Sau Francisco on the 20th.—
How about that rumor that the convention
itself is to be called in San Francisco? We
protest. It would be inconvenient and we
think unjust to the mountain counties. Sac
ramento is nearer the centre of the State and
is the grand centre of travel in the State.
Crops in Amador. —ln Jackson, Buena
Vista and lone valleys, the farmers, as a gen
eral thing, arc cutting respectable crops of
hay—good crops of hay. The grain, in most
instances, is not heavy; in some eases, late
sown, it will be quite short; yet taken upon
the whole, the yield would be pronounced de
cidedly large upon less favored soils.
Owning Up. —Messrs. Ilarron A Hall, of
the lone City Flouring Mills, Gentlemen : We
acknowledge the corn— meal ; and duly return
our sincere thanks. It is no exaggeration to
say that it is altogether the best we have ever
tried in California, and as good ns the best
we have ever found in “old corn countries.”
If you want good, sweet, fresh-ground corn
meal, send to the lone City Mills.
More Road Making. —Coover A Co. have
hands at work improving the new road from
Sutter Creek to Drytown, via. Amador.—
Charley Coover has made more roads than
any other man in the State, for the which he
deserves the thanks of the people and u lib
eral patronage.
New Gasometer. — Hoover & Co. are con
structing a new gas tank, of the capacity of
five thousand feet. It is calculated that this
will be large enough to enable the company
to supply all the burners that will be required
in Jackson.
For the Weekly Ledger.
TRACKS OP A TRAVELER.
What a cold place is this same
FOREST HOMF..
Here Tvc been for two days enjoying on an
average throe shakes of the ague a day.—
The inhabitants assure me that they have had
warm weather here; but I am thinking that
is g mere play on words, ns they invariably
when saying so cast their eyes towards a fine
(lock of sheep that were corraled near by.
The wethers among them looked warm
enoujrh in their heavy coats. Sheep raising
is attracting much attention in this part of
our county, and I have no doubt it will be
come quite a mania. Our mountains are
decidedly well adapted to the growth of wool
and already it is beginning to be an article of
export. But sheep require care, and without
that the shepherd will soon witness the de
parture of the last of his flock through some
opening in the fence.
I have been in doubt as to which way to
bend my steps from here, but this morning
while out looking at the sheep 1 fixed my pur
pose in the following maimer.
Two of the father sheep had got into a
difficulty, one of them having punched the
other rather severely in the short ribs and re
fused to apologize; this of course led to a
combat, so selecting an open space they re
tired a few paces apart and then rushed on
each other iu the style of the knights of old.
They came together with a force that re
bounded them both back on their haunches
and 1 thought hud rendered them horsdu com
bat, (sheep du combat I mean,) but they re
covered their positions and prepared for
another encounter. A happy thought struck
me; I’d stake my destination on the result of
the fight, so naming one of them “ Michigan
Bar” and the other “ Fiddletown” I posted
myself on the fence to await the decision. 1
shall not record all the rnwi-ifications of the
conflict; that I became much excited is not
to be denied, sometimes hurrahing for “Mich
igan Bar,” ami sometimes encouraging “ Fid
dlctown” to “ sock it to him.” To make a
long story short, “ Fiddletown,” by an un
lucky turn of the head, let “Michigan” hit him
iu the eye, whereupon “Fiddletown” grace
fully retired from the field amid the sympa
thetic bleating of a hundred ewes; and I—
well, I refreshed myself at Jim Gover's and
started in the direction fate had fixed for me.
The first noticeable thing ou my route was
a very comfortable looking house, on the
south side of the road, with a sign board
conspicuously displayed informing the world
at large that here is the
MISSOURI HOTEL.
A “solitary horseman” had just alighted
and 1 imagined I saw “brandy and soda” in
his countenance; so I entered the house in
hope that he would not drink alone; and he
did not, but instead of choosing me «s his as
sociate he turned to a nasty looking little '
fisb-peddlar with a “come captain, take a
drink;” ami 1 left them hohnobing at the
counter. I had not fairly recovered from my
chagrin at being thus slighted when I found
myself iu the midst of
ARKANSAS DIGGINGS.
An old mining locality is this, even now sup
porting a store and a tavern. Here 1 learned
that 1 was three miles from Forest Horne and
the same from Michigan Bar. A great deal
of gold has been taken out in this vicinity,
and daring the past winter mining was very
successful. Indeed the whole country through
which passes the Cosumues river and Michi
gan Bar ditch is rich in mineral wealth and
is very extensive. The flatness of much of
the mining ground around Arkansas Diggings
has prevented its being worked so that there
yet remains much to reward tho gold hunters
of the future.
A half mile further on the road brought
me to the
OAK GROVE HOUSE,
aud the seat of justice of this part of Am
ador county.
Esquire Haynes is the keeper of the house i
and also the dispenser of law and euqity.—
Lawyers Seaton and Curtis, from Drytown,
have just been here as opposing attorneys iu j
a case where the prisoner was charged with
cutting a hole iu a man’s head aud knocking
out (or in,) two of his teeth. After two
days investigation, most of which time was!
occupied in arguments of the counsel, which
the court decided were not pertinent, (there-|
fore I suppose impertinent,) the parties came '
to an amicable settlement, the injured party
agreeing to accept seventy-five dollars a piece
for his teeth aud fifty dollars for the cut, thus
establishing the market value of such articles
iu this section.
A little south of hero is the mining camp
of Drummondsville, but as it was not on the j
road, and night being near, I did not visit it
but hurried ou to
MICHIGAN BAR,
which is about a mile across the line between
Amador aud Sacramento counties. Here 1
had the pleasure of meeting the junior of the
ledger accompanied by his accomplished
bride. They had been making their first
visit to the bride’s mother. Marriage agrees
with some folks, especially editors, aud the
Lddger's junior is not an exception.*
What shall 1 say in regard to Michigan
Bar? Every body knows that it is a perma
nent, business place, on both sides of the
Cosnmnes, in Sacramento county, has a splen
did bridge, a largo Masonic and Odd Fellow’s
Hall, and lasting mineral wealth.
They have recently struck good pay in hills
here adjacent to the town and several tunnels
that I visited are prospecting rich. This is
an evidence of the permanence of the mine l
I here.
Great preparations arc being made for the
Odd Fellow’s ball here on Friday night,
the 15th inst. If it is not a splendid affair
then there is no dependence to be put in
"white folks.”
A a large company are preparing to leave
here for “ the States,” via. the plains this
season.
But I wil', not crowd yon this week further,
next w* ek I’ll finish this section and begin
another.
*Oh! what a . Devil.
An Occasional Correspondent.
Forest Home, Amador Co., May 12, ’57.
Here we are safe and sound and now for a
prospecting tour. Do not fear; we can go
over the diggings without getting our feet
wet. Accept my arm and allow me to be
yonr guide. Oh no ladies will not scare the
miners; do not fear any such result,at least in
these diggings. Now for a jump, well done
you cleared that ditch like a deer, or dear 1
should say. It is a branch of the Michigan
Bar Ditch. Yes you are right, and 4 if those
who have the capital to construct such works
would turn their attention to and cause them
to be built, they would not only reap a rich
i reward pecuniarily, but would confer a great
Messing on thousands of miners who are now
idle for the want of water, and say nothing
of the good it would do California.
Take for example this place, last year there
was not over ten miners at work, the ditch
company brought in a small branch of their
ditch for the purpose of surface mining,
what is the consequence, miners came (lock
ing in, the surface diggings are in opperution,
miners prospected the hills, struck rich deep
diggings, richer than they hud dared hope to
find. A town has sprung up, the ditcli is to
lie enlarged and hundreds w ill find employ
ment for years to come—these are facts, not
idle speculation, facts proved by practice, nor
1 is this the only place where it could bo found.
Yes, ’tis a pleasant place to work, just fur
enough up in the mountains to make it seem
beautiful, and grand scenes to sec there in
the cast the "snow capped’Nevada,” to the
South the dark brown Mokelnmne range
looms up, on the North the Cosnmnes hills
mark the line of vision and to the west the
! Sacramento valley stretches off as fur as the
eyes can see. At times from this very spot
you can see the smoke of the steamer going up
or down the river. Yes. it is a pretty place,
and especially at this time of the year, when
the hills are covered with their green carpet
and dotted with those pretty flowers Oh,
these flowers are beautiful, and in their silent
though eloquent language, they whisper words
of cheer to the toil-worn miner and bid him
falter not hut he of good cheer, for there are
loved ones anxious for his coming; or per
chance they will call to mind memories of
loved and lost ones—memories of the time
when youth and joy went hand in hand to- 1
gether. These flowers bid him hope—for
like them all that is lovely must fade and die,
but still like them, in this fur-off land, will
live and bloom again iu a land where flowers
never fade.
Here we arc at "Old Miller’s” claim—the
first on our route. Take care—do not go too
near the bank, or over you go. He has just
conitaenced stripping here; he run a tunnel
for eighty feet before he struck the pay dirt; I
he set sluices in his tunnel to this shaft, where
you see the water pouring down as he ground
sluices off the top off. The dirt drops in
the sluices and is discharged from them in a
large ravine at the base of the hill, and he
has no more trouble with it. He will soon
bt down to his pay dirt. Success to him.
The next is the rich, or "star” claim, as it
is called, owned by Castle, Conway and Lud
low, who paid four thousand dollars for it a
few weeks ngo, but could not now' be bought
for ten thousand. The lust washing they took
out eleven hundred dollars. It is not fairly
commenced yet, and cannot bo worked out
for years to come.
Next we come to the ankce Boys.”—
They are not yet down to the pay dirt, but
arc working with an energy that speaks w ell
for them, and they have every prospect of be
ing rewarded for their labor.
Next comes the Ritter A Nourse claim.
; They have uot finished their tunnel yet, but
arc working at it night and day.
litre is another, and still another—all un
der way, ami all of them having an equal
I chance of success.
And here is the “Hydraulic Claim.” Take
care, or that big cave will cover you up.—
Hurrah! Young thunder! what a noise it
made. It scarcely looked possible that that
1 little stream of water would undermine and
cave so large a body of dirt. And is it not
so in things appertaining to man? If we
concentrate our whole force ou any one ob
ject we arc sure to accomplish it. This claim,
like the rest, is not fairly opened and the
owners are sanguine of making good wages,
and well they merit it, for they have worked
! long and faithful.
| Well, it is dinner time, and if you please
we will adjourn our prospecting till we call
and pay our respects to the hostess of the
Forest Home, and her fair daughters, and
partake of a good dinner which I know w’c
will find ready; and then if you arc not too
tired we will prospect the south side of the
camp. Willie.
Important from Sonora.
Total destruction of Crahh’s expedition. The
Whole Party Slaughtered.
The steamer Senator has nrived from San
Diego and Los Angeles, bringing ns confirm
ation of the minor which arrived by the boat
from the South, of the massacre of Crubb’s
party.
In March, Crabb’s party left Sonoita, So
nora, and marched to Cavorea, —a small
Mexican town near Point Lobes, on the
Gulf of California. The first intention was
to have proceeded to Altar, hut news of its
partial fortifiication and susceptibility of a
strong defence, caused the diversion to Cavo
rea. On the morning of April Ist, the party
of Americans entered the suburbs of the
town. They were met by a body of Mexican
troops commanded by Roderiguez. It is said
Roderiguez advanced to speak to Crabb,
when the Americans opened a fire and killed
the Mexican commander and several others.
The Mexicans immediately retreated, some
to ttie mountains, but the majority to the
church. It has been placed in a state of de
fence, and had, at the time Crabb entered
the town, a number of beeves roasting whole
in front of it to feed the Mexican troops. —
Crabb and his men occupied several bouses
on the corner of the Plaza, in front of the
church. The Mexicans at first deserted the
most of the town, hut gradually being embol
dened, returned, and gradually hemmed the
Americans in. The fighting continued eight
days, with the loss to the Americans of 25
killed. The Mexican loss is reported by
themselves to have been 25, but is supposed
to have been much greater—as high as 200.
On the first day an attempt was made by
two of Crabb’s men to blow up the church by
placing a keg of powder under the portico
and firing it. The devoted men who made
the attempt were both killed, and Crabb is
said to have been wounded in superintending
1 it. It is said an offer was made by Crabb to
I retire, it tlie Mexicans would allow him.—
The Mexicans, by breaking into the walls of
adjoining houses hemmed the Americans into
a corner building, which they repeatedly set
on fire, and which the Americans as often ex
tinguished. At last, a lighted arrow set fire
to the roof the building occupied by the un
fortunate Americans. In a few minutes the
great flakes of fire were falling down on the
devoted heads of the inmates. Worn out
with constant fighting, exansted with anxiety,
famished by day’s of starvation and thirst,
and without ammunition, Henry A. Crabb
anil 58 men marched out of the burning
house with a white flag before them, laid
down their arms, and surrendered, it is sup
posed,unconditioiiuly. This was in the night,
or towards morning They were immediately
tied, with their hands behind them, taken
to a corral, near the Alcade’s office, where
they were kept till morning, when they were
taken out, and shot.
In the first execution, it was found that
the calmness of the Americans discomposed
the executioners, and they shot too low, in
many eases only wounding their victims.—
The hacks of the fated men were then turned
to the troops, and they succeeded in aiming
with better effect. McConn, (may lie rest
in peace,) owing to his great stature, was
saved this torture. A ball struck him full in
the breast at the first lire, and he fell dead.
Crabb alone was reserved for a solitary
death. He was taken to the Alcalde’s office,
questioned, allowed to w rite a letter to Ins
wife, and to have an interview with a Doctor
Evans, a prisoner in the hands of the Mexi
cans, who had been in confinement for some
weeks on suspicion. The hour for his execu
tion having arrived he was led out, his hands
streclicd above his head and tied to a post
in front of the building he had occupied, his
face to the post and his back to his execu
tioners. At the command to lire at least
one hundred halls were fired into his body,
and all that was mortal of Henry A. Crabb
hung dead, swinging by bis red hands. A
Mexican stepped forward, and with a large
knife severed his head from his body, the
warm blood spurted half way across the
street. The head was placed on a table in
front of the office of the Alcalde, exposed to
the jeers of the populace. It was then put
in a jar of mescal for preservation.
Two of the Ainsas, brothers-iu-law of
Crabb, are said to be killed, and also Ilasey
Bivin. An intelligent gentleman, and an eye
witness of these horrors, says Crabb died
calmly and quietly. Four sick men had been
left behind at Sonoita by Crabb. They oc
cupied the house owned by E. E. Dunbar,
on the American side of the line. On April
IHlh, at night, a party of 25 Mexicans came
up from San Jnun, went to Dunbar's house,
and look these poor sick men out of bed,
tied them, shot them like dogs on Ameri
can soil, and left them to rot.
A party ot I’upago Indians more merci
ful, buried them, and four solitary mounds
now appeal (lone witnesses of the crime,) to
Americans for vengeance. A party of 30
recruits from Tucson, who were ou their way
to join Crabb at Cavorea, were attacked by
20U Mexicans when within 15 miles of that
place. After hard flighting they reached the
American line with 4 killed, having killed 40
Mexicans. The Mexicans at Cavorea were
SUO strong. Majors Bob Wood and Toner
are saved. They were with O'Hoy's party.
Col. U. N. Wood is among the dead.
The Laws oe 1857.—The enterprising pro
prietors of the Sacramento Union have al
ready issued the laws and resolutions of the
late Legislature in convenient pamphlet form.
Their authenticity is certified to by the Sec
retary of Slate. Heretofore, great incouve
-1 uicnce has been experienced because the laws
have uot been published until long after the
adjournment. The proprietors of the Union
are entitled to credit for this. They sell the
i hooks at the low price of $1,50.
China Camp Robbed. — A white man mid
a negro, one evening about the first of the
present week, robbed a China Camp on Sut
ter Creek, some three miles above lone City.
The villains presented their pistols, and the
Chinamen handed out fifty-five dollars.
A Good Time —The folks at Clinton go
in for having a “good time.” On Tuesday
evening inst there was n very pleasant party !
at Mrs. Emslie’s hotel, and we learn that the
“young people” are determined to follow it
up at the same place. By-the-by, Mrs. E.
keeps one of the best hotels that the travel
er ever finds in the mines or elsewhere.
Circus Enterprise. —A couple of Yan
kees have sailed from New York for England
with an immense circus establishment. There
are one hundred persons connected with it, in
cluding a tribe of Rocky Mountain Indians.
Fourth of July Ball— One thousand
tickets will be issued for the Fourth of July
Bull of Jackson Hook and Ladder Co. No.
One. Preperations will be made on the most
extensive scale, and the affair cannot fail to
be highly interesting and successful. We
will speak of it again.
Sluice Robbing. —Last Tuesday night the
sluices of three companies at Lower Rauche
ria were robbed ; of what amount, could of
course only be guessed at. The same trick
was attempted again on Thursday night, but
did not succeed—with proper caution, the
miners had “cleaned up” the afternoon previ
ous. Cold lead is good for sluice robbers.
What's in the Wind?—At Mok. Hill, Backus'
Minstrels were all arrested. last Monday, for having
performed the Sunday evening previous. Tin y
were acquitted, Imt detained until night-fall, and
then played to a rousing house. All very well—
hut then Jackson folks were cheated out of their
chance to see Backus. By-the-by, what started this
“reformatory” movement so suddenly and unex
pected among our neighbors at the Hill ? Had the
approaching comet anything to do with it? The
Chronicle can tell us. Moreover, lx l it hereafter
known that according to the verdict of that jury,
nigger shows” ain't noisy or barbarous.
Editorial Visit.—On Saturday last, John Uollin
Ridge Esq., Editor-ili-Cbief of the Sacramento Her.
dropped it; upon us. He has been enjoying himself
for a time, with his excellent lady, at Bell's Ex
change. in Drytown. We trust that Mr. R's. trip to
the mountains will restore him to vigorous health.
He is a line writer, and a high-minded gentleman.
Mining at Clinton.—We have been furnished
from reliable sources with the following items trout
Clinton :
Campbell A Co., after three weeks' washing, took
out 132 ounces of pure gold.
Monell A Co., after two weeks’ run, took out 100
ounces.
In Coolidge A Co's, claim they average ten dol
lars a day to the hand.
White A Co., in one week, took out five hundred
dollars.
Lowe A Co. took out fifteen ounces in a couple of
days.
All the claims are paying good wages and water
money.
