This is period sf niue moaths, or two hundred and twenty-foor working days Tea dollars to each man would be two hundred thousand dollars per day to tweatF thousand men. and total of loFty-six miIlioRs eight hundred thousand from the lst of May, ls49 to lst February. 1850, and this we believe is OtShovt of the actual amount taken from the gold mines in eslifornia darug that period Large shipments of gold dnsl have beea made 10 Europe direct. 10 Ghaa.
