The Other Side Of the Picture.

Gold Scarce IN California. The following ex-
tract from private letter from perfectly reliable
source has been kindly furnished the Tribune for
publication. The writer is himself at the mines ::
You will be disappointed in the amount Of
gold sent by this steamer, but not more SO than
we have been by the result of our labors during
the last month in the mining districts The force
on the ground is varously estimated from 10000
to $4,000. who have obtained perhaps in all ST.
100000 or but little more than an average of one
dollar per diem TO each This is not satisfac-
tory to you at home, but still less so to US here
but the truth is that the surface gold IS rapidly
disappearing, and although we have faith that the
subterranean deposites are large, yet not having
the capital or other requisites for deep mining
TO this complexion we must come al last, like all
the South American States in which gold is found
California must be dug up wide and deep if we
hope for golden harvest Goods Of nearly all
descriptions are very low Every body is anx-
ieus TO return, so you may look out for hegra
OF those who have means to pay their passage
