During the past 12 or 15 days since  tho ctoar, cold northerly winds have been  prcvailing,dense volumes of "smoke have heen  seen by me and others, to issue from the  southern peak, near the summit of the mountain. The Indians have a tradition that about  30 [?] years ago, as near as they can compute the time, Mount Baker was an active  burning volcano. . They could see the fire  plainly, on dark nights ;" but about that time  a tremendous convulsion took place,-changing ^the whole aspect of the mountain, and  killing .most all the salmon in Skagit river;  since which tirhe there has been but little  seen to indicate a burning crater until the  ���������present winter.

THE SEARCH  FOR GOLD.:  We are told by very intelligent people that  'gold is the means employed by the evil one  tp tempt men from the paths of rectitude ���������  ���������arid that iri the eagerness displayed, by those  led astray in the desire-to get richiu a hurry,  ; is. symbolized; the prohoness of human  nature to do that which is forbidden.   In all this  i we see nothing more or less than'."a profound  ignorance of the: wonderful dispensations of  \ an all-wise Creator, who seeks, by means of  .gold, to draw the teeming population of overcrowded portions of the- earth   to countries  that might otherwise remain a hunting ground  for- savages  and   th e haunt of wi I d beasts.  Where the earth would lie unutilized, clothed  in the gloom of primitive forest, and the husband man would  be   unknown.   There  are  other reasons also.   It is welt' known that the  formation of the globe is undergoing constant  change,- where golden fields of corn once gladdened the eyes of happy' farmers and fruit  trees yielded their luscious product, barren,  treeless   wildernesses    now   exist ;    where  marshy stretches bf sea coast predominated,  and were looked upon  TRSPASSING ON GROUSE CREEK BED  ROCK FLUME CO.'S GROUND.  NEW ADVERTISEMENTS.  As will be seen from our report of the proceedings in  the Police Court, four mind's,  workmen and members connected with  the  Canadian Co., on Grouse creek; have been  sentenced by the magistrate to: various terms  of imprisonment, for setting the orders of the  Court at defiance,' by working  on 'certain  ground at present   in dispute between that  company and the Flume Co.   It ia very unfortunate that such a case should ever have  occurred in this community of law abiding  citizens, and were the actual motives bf these  misguided.men to set the law absolutely at  nought, we would not hesitate to say that  they deserved a greater punishment, but we  think;there are certain extenuating; circumstances, that go to show they were; not aware  | ofthe extent of the iofringemeritfofthe law  they were committing.    WTe have no desire  to discuss the case out of which this unfortunate affair arose at present, but simply to relate what has come to our ��������� own  knowledge  in open Court.   It appears, then, that a case  of ejectment was instituted by the Grouse  Creek Bed Rock:Flume Co. vs..Canadian Co.,  iri April iast, aiid "a decision adverse to the  latter company was rendered/which was appealed by them to the Supreme Court, in the  meantime they were ejected from.the ground  EXPRESS   NOTICE.  4 FTER THIS DATE, BARNARD'S EXPRESS IS  A nut responsible lor damage on LIQtTlDS shipped in  Tin or Glass, unless hy special contract.      ��������� ,  Until further notice,, the Express will *y���������^���������  every SUNDAY AFTERNOON', and close for below  every TUESDAY, at NINE o'cloc^P^My ^    ,  ���������  w Agent.

Every description of  yegetatioa requires a certain quantity of a  ^variety of substances j: which' in its growth it  ^.extracts from tlie earth,' and when these siib-  '.':. stances are exhausted production ceases. The  o c ean daily receives mil lip ns of tons of rich  deposits from the nunoerous rivers that pour  ; their debris into ite vast, recepticlej  arid the  numerous currents (the Gulf streamfor in-  b tance)* distribute this '���������". new matter, en rich ed  by the salt ofthe ocean;Vall? over the world,  'forming new coritirients and replenishing the  old.   How little the mirier thinks; when he is  bydraulicing some hi 11 "side^ that the dirt, he  ��������� is soiindustriously .washing"' into the strearn  !., that>carries it to the sea>: will possibly form  the basis  of some  continent that -will be  .. peopled by men who may hereafter dominate  the universe  ^Xm>A"  $m$w--:  a^fSci-y'::  m&HAlx.  or th at .the particles he thro ws  so ��������� carel essly to th e ac ti on'of the waters may  fertilize ground that iaipyAfurnish food for  friends he may never meet-again.   The worst  feature ot the chase after the shining metal,  is the fruitful source of discord it creates. Numerous questions of priority rpf right or water  p rivilege or any 6 ther of the thousand* causes  of d ispute natura 1 ly o ecu r, but why miners  should be so eager to carry all such questions  into a court of law,we nevercould understand.  The assemblage of a dozen miners from the  neighboring claims, the election of a chairman, and the settlement of the dispute would  only occupy the  leisure  hours   of a single  evening; no valuable working time wouli  be lost, no money spent,   and   the. decision  would be equitable because every one having any voice in the matter would understand  the question under consideration, the locality  and the difficulties under which the several  parties labored.   But no!'from some unac  countable reason the miner must rush into  law.   He employs a lawyer to whom he pays  a fee for pleading his case, (that occupies a  day at least), equivalent, it may be, to a month  of his gaius on his claim, that he has acquired  with much toil and privation. ��������� He goes into  court quite ignorant of the points of law for  arid against him, and after much expenditure  . of raooey and great loss of time, the case goes  against him, and his gains are mortgaged for  months afterwards to. pay his lawyer.     We  are prepared to admit that.there is much fascinating excitement about law, but looking  at the general result of a suit in the inevitable  . loss'of time and money to both parties, and  the possible ruin  to one of them, we have  come to-tbe conclusion that the end does not  justify the means.   Miners must recollect that  in placing themselves in the hands of lawyers  ,.  theyare. taking so much money out of their  bwn class.   The lawyers toil not/ and they  only spin yarns which in all eases prove costly to th e, unfor tu hate miners, who have al-  ways to pay the piper. xiWe live in a great  mining country, doubtless a hard country to  explore, but with all its difficulties; there are  .plenty of claims to- .be,, found as rich as any  yet kriov/n.   Would it not be better, then, for  the min ing commii ni ty if there sho uid be in-  superable difficulties, outside of law,', to the  retention of a piece of mining ground, that  the two contending parties. taket a toss up,  and the loser, rolling up his blankets; strikes  out for a new locality.    By this means, the  brotherly feeling  so   essential   to a mining  camp, would never be interrupted, time and  money would be saved -to miners, arid tbeyy  as a class, would soon be in a better position  in  relation to   society both in wealth and  morality;  of a trial which came off last week between  the Grouse Creek Flume Co. and Black Hawk  Co., certain facts .were elicited in evidence in  that case which went to show . that the lines  claimed by the Flume Co. in 1864 and those  claimed by them in 1867 differed to the extent of some 8 or. 10 feet, that is, instead of  having 50 feet on the east side of the '. flurae,  they had only 42 feet, and as the Commissioner, decided that the Flume Co. were not  entitled,  under their old charter, to' more  ground than they had staked off,.or their  charter called for,   a small strip' of ground,  8 or 10 feet wide, lying between the Flume  Co.'8 lines, as then established, and the Black  Hawk Co7s lines was therefore declared vacant.   The Commissioner after the decision,  however, anticipating some troubleas to the  ownership of this ground, had an interview  with the foremen of the respective companies  and explained'-to .'them that  he^ should not  permitthe said strip of ground to he worked  by either party until after the decision of the  Supreme Court.   We feel certain that 4there  'musthavebeeu some. misconception ^on the  part of the Canadian Co.; as to the nature of  FOR SALE.

We have' no wish to  criticize the judgment ofthe magistrate whose  duty it is to see that the laws are respected in  every instance, but' with all due deference,  we think that under the peculiar circumstances of the case, the punishment awarded to  the delinquents is rather severe.    A short  term of imprisonment, a heavy fine, or pufj  ting them under  bonds,  would   have  been  sufficient to meet the ends of justice as effectively as adjudging them to such lengthened  periods of imprisonment.

Anthony Mellowda'y, foreman of the Canadian co., Grouse Creek,.was brought up before  the Magistrate on a warrant, setting forth that  he, on the 31st May, ult., did unlawfully and  wilfully commit a trespass upon the mining  ground ofthe Grouse Creek Bed Rock Flume  Co., in contravention of a decision given in  tbe Mining Court, Richfield, on 22nd April  last. After hearing evidence, the Court found  the charge established, and sentenced the. accused to one month's imprisonment.   .  Samuel Walker, Robert Cameron and John  Sanderson, were then called on to answer a  similar charge, and pleaded not guilty.  John Adair, sworn, said���������I saw all of the  accused at work on the Grouse Creek Flume  Co.'s ground,  yesterday morning.   I asked  them who they were working for, and they  answered the Canadian co,   I applied to the  foreman^ and he said they were put: to work"  by him; they were working near a sh aft sunk  by the Canadian co.; last spring, from which  they; we re - -ejected;, by Mr. Spalding.   Th ey  were shovelling dirt and setting sluices within  fifty feet of the flume.   I consider that they  were trespassing on the Flume co's ground ;  last night they were bringing up dirt;and wash-1  "iug"if," i?o'm ground withfn^SO feet of tBelfume.  J. M.

A.-Fitzgerald, sworn���������I received an  order dated 24th April, from Mr. Spalding, to  proceed to the ground of the Grouse Creek  Bed Rock Flume Co., and to eject any person  or persons at work there, except such as  were entitled to do so, and if not complied  with, to make arrests. I went in compliance  with these orders, and stated my business to  the foreman ofthe Canadian co., Mr. Booth, in  the presence of Walker and Cameron. The  order was obeyed, and I put Mr. Monro in  possession. I arrested the accused to-day;  Sanderson was in the drift underground.Cam-  eron was working on the surface, aud Walker  was pumping.  Walker and Cameron disavowed being  members of the Canadian co.T and claimed to  be only workmen. Sanderson admitted being  indirectly interested in the company.  The magistrate commented on the offence  committed, and said   that the,ground from  which the Canadian co. were ejected by Mr.  Spalding; extended for 50 feet on each side of  the; flume, anil therefore Included the strip of  ground which was   in dispute between the  Flume co; and the Black Hawk co.; decided  by methe other day.   The Canadian co. had  appealed against Mr, Spalding's ruling; to the  Supreme Court, and while that appeal was  pending,^ they had rio right to enter upon the  ground.   Anticipating a misapprehensipn on  the part, of the Canadian, co., respecting my  decision as to the strip of groiuid iri question,  I sent for Mr. Booth, your foreman, and ex-  plained'to him that it should not be; worked  by either party; until the case under appeal  was decided, but that should it be necessary  for the Flume. co. to go through this ground,  in order to work their claim, a receiver would  be appointed to take charge of all gold taken  therefrom.., Mr- Booth, I am informed, made  your company acquainted with these facts,  and afterwards resigned his position j in the  face of this, however, you elect another foreman, and foolishly go to work on the ground,  ia violation of all law and good order, and  contrary to the orders ofthe Court.   Being  members of the company, 1 adjudge Cameron  and Sanderson to be imprisoned for the period  of two weeks.

A deep gloom settled on the countenances  of miners, traders, and-the inhabitauts generally, in and around  Barkerviile, on Friday  afternoon, by the report that the Bed Rock  Drajn  bad. caved in the rear of the town.;  Many rushed to the' scene, which certainly  presented  anything  but a pleasing aspect  The creek, which had swollen' to the dimensions, of a small river, in consequence of the  heavy rain that fell during the previous night  and that day, had burst through the flume in  .which it was conducted, over very bad ground;  in the Welsh claim, and the result was an. expensive cave along the line of the flume, into  which the water and* tailings  rushed with.  great velocity, filling up shafts and tunnels in  a short time, and completely.: flooding but all  the companies on the creek who'depended .on  the,drain,   !No; one but; .feltthat irreparable  damage had been done to the drain, and that  raining on tlie! lower portion>of>thefcreek liad  ceased for the' season; but thanks: to good  luck,  the   dreaded   calamity  was  a verted.

In consequence of the freshet, there is little  to record in the way of mining news on the  creek below this town.
