previously made Of the number Of people that will
the of year be in the mining country, have all
been to small. There will be before the close OF this
year, In California not much short Of one hundred
thousand souls Suppose twenty thousand of these
engage In digging for gold suppose there Is
rage Of nfty thousand dggers in the mines throughout
the and that each Of these average
per day for two hundred days this would give
the enormous product Of hundred and s1fy millions
Of dollars for the Of ls49 We have every evi-
dence In the world that the supply Of gold in California
Is almost nexhaustibe. and that it is found in Jumps
varying from grains to those weighing twenty. Eve
pounds; and the product therefore will be regulated
only by the number Of people engaged In the mines

in other parts of the world from California the
On board the Lexington and other vessels at sea-
the amount brought down by the steamers California
and Oregon, the big lump brought by Lieut. Beae sc.
&C. all the product of last years labor in the mines
We look for startling accounts from California
about the production Of gold this year based upon
such authority will satisfy the most increduous.

lished, and advices from the gold region will bo
monthly.
