FROM NEVADA AND GoLD RuN-A friend
from Nevada informs us that the streams that run
through that place, called Gold Run, of which
such surprising accounts have been given, have
all been dug over, up to the hills in which they
commence. On coming to the hills, however,
the leads continued extremely rich, and the mi
ners are still working into the banks. In some
instances, forty feet of earth have been thrown
offbefore reaching the deposits fgold, ,and as the
laborers continue penetrating the amount to be
removed will increase Wherever the gold is
reached, it is found in large quantities. One par
ty of four or five men took out nine pounds in one
day. Others were constantly striking places
which yielded largely-say from three or four
ounces to pound per day. Ofcourse the larger
share were not so Fortunate Quite serious ac-
cident happened in the side of one of these hills
last Sunday. While party of four were dig
gng, undermining place, and following lead
into the bank, the earth above caved in upon
them, and all were crushed to death instantly
Our informant did not know their names, but
they were from the State of Maine.
The Mills and ravines around Nevada have all
the appearance of being very rich with gold 1t
has lately been found scattered promiscously ov-
er the hills, mixed in with the very top soil,
where the earth is light and dusty like ashes
Quite a large number are engaged in gathering
up this soil from the hills, and packing it on
mules or cartng it to Deer Creek, where it is
washed.
Nevada is becoming little lively town. Some
four or five thousand people are said to be in its
vicinity. The diggings are not now SO profita-
bly, worked as they have been during the past
winter and spring. Water is scarce, and only
those who strike rich places or hold claims near
the creek, so that they afford to haul the dirt
for washing, are making their labor profitable
Our informant states that another winter these
digglngs will doubtless be as successfully work
ed as ever, and in the country around there will
be room for almost any number to work with pro-
!, fit. For ten miles around Nevada, the geologi.
cal appearance of the country is very similar, and
gold has been found in greater or less quantities
in almost every place that has been prospec-
, ted.
