fallen during the winter in this region, which will
require at least two months OF warm weather to
melt sufficiently to admit OF successful operations
There were from three 10 four thousand persons,
mostly experienced miners from different rivers
below and the dry diggings, congregated in the
vicinity of Birds store, waiting until the
mets, so as to permit them TO work. The "pros-
pecting of this district last fall gave evidence Of
abundance of gold, hence the eagerness with which
all pushed in that direction going thus early, lest
others should be before them.
The melting snow has filled all the branches of
the American river 80 full OF water, to suspend
operations entirely along their banks, unless in a
very few places. To show how completely the riv-
deserted will mention the fact that Nor
mon mon Island, hitherto containing large popula-
ton, was three days since, without single in
habitant, except one old man. Thus, in conse-
quence Of the high stage of water in the rivers and
snow in the mountains, there will be no mining of
consequence done before July. The mining dis
trict is well supplied with provisions, in every d.
rection, and prices moderate The weather is
pleasant, and throughout the whole of the northern
mines, universal good health prevais-a case of
sickness being quite rare. The opinion prevails
among the miners, that the district ofcountfy lying
between the Middle Fork and the Yuba river,
abounds with the precious metal, and that rich de-
posts will be discovered this summer-perhaps
route to this district is Uia Sacramento city, Colo
ma, the county seat of Ell Dorado county, and
Spanish Bar on the Middle Fork.
From the Alta California, April 1871
THE MINERS.
All the world appears moving upon the waters of
the Sacramento and its tributaries Who is it that
has not does not anticipate visit, either of plea
sure or adventure through the deposits of the pre-
cious metal? Every hour become conscious of
the absence of some familiar face, and wonder
whether it smiles in the land of Ophir or of Nod.
The crowds that daily leave for the mines, and
other parts of the interior would lead to sup
pose complete depopuation inevitable; yet strange
to say that streets still present busy aspect,
although in reality there is not much doing
we should hope for.

The Baltimore Republican and argus, an opposi

General Lopez seems 10 have misunderstood or
greatly overratcd his influence in Cuba, and the
feelings Of the inhabitants Of the island. Having
lived for many years in the island, IL
bic to suppose that he knew something Of the de-
sircs Of the people, and, he was said TO be in
slant communication with them, II was thought he
would not venture upon expedition there with
out assurances Of aid from those in whose behalf the
effort was 20 be made The result will place Gen.
Lopez in the list Of such heroic proclamators Gen.
Ampuda and Bustamente. We have not the par
fic,ars Of the expedition before us but from what
we can understand, il seems to have been badly
conceived and hastily abandoned, comforting no
credit upon the judgment or bravery Of the mana
gers General Lopez has performed almost as won
derful feat as that celebrated king, who, with
forty thousand men, marched up a hll-and then
marched down again"

man named Nethcrby, in the Auburn dry diggings,

at upwards Of two thousand and fifty dollars. Il is
one Of the most singular and beautiful specimens
we have ever seen. The quartz is Of n very dark
color and fine particles Of gold closely and reg

AZ high Birds store, which is about thirty miles

ranging from FIVE 10 fifteen feet in depth, entirely
above the source Of the Middle Fork, and some dis
lance up the side Of the Sierra Nevada mountains
The expedition returned without accomplishing
any Of the objects sought, owing to the great depth
Of snow. There has unusual quantity OF snow
