FRoM THE SOUTHERN MINEs.-We learn from
the southern mines that those miners at work IN
the gulches are doing little for want of water, while
those the rivers have too much water. On the
Stanislaus but little gold has been taken from the
canals: The prospects at Pine Bar, Don Pedro,
and other points on the Tuolumne, were spoken of
in the most encouraging terms. AT the Nashville
diggings great many persons are meeting, and
are having great luck; the average product per
man being from eight to ten dollars per day-but
few working more than half the time, owing to the
intense heat.

covered between the Tuolumne and the Mercedes
There are said to be immense deposits OF gold in
the Scorpion gulch, many miners averaging five
dollars TO the PAINFUL.

North Fork Of the American river, which we con-
sidered to be nearly worked out last season,
proving more productive than ever. On the Man

This bar was dug all over last season, and aban-
doned in October On the Middle Fork of the Anne
rican river the miners well repaid Some par
ties are taking considerable quantities of gold with

gust, causing great sorrow.
