Interesting Mining Intelligence,


Our friend, Mr.. Towle has just arrived IN town
rom Rich Bar, on the North Fork of Feather River,
no miles above this city. MIR. 1. first encountered
snow at the Ohio Ranch, twenty miles below Rich
Bar During the late rain IN this valley, much
more snow fell on the ridges of Feather river than
for the previous three months and the trails were
completely obhterated There was an average
depth Of two feet of snow between Ohio Ranch
md the bar The miners upon Smiths bar have
been favored with extraordinary success in their la
bors lately. Our informant sa party OF live men
take out eight pounds of gold one morning, all OF
which was very coarse, many Jumps weighing over
an ounce, and none less than three or four grains.
The earth contains little gold IL is mostly found IN
the crevces in the bed rock which is about ten feet
below the surface of the ground Within the last
month an immense number OF Immigrants have loca-
ted themselves upon this bar, and there however
2 600 persons in that vicinity. The diggings upon
Rich Bar are generally not very good and the miners
are only awaiting warm weather to push up to the
sources of the streams. A MIR. Lawson has been
mining during the winter p miles above this point,
and has had in his employ number of Indians. 1t
liz said that he has ken out great deal Of money,
but he himself has not left his quarters for the set
Elements, having packed up sufficient provisions in
the fall TO support his party until he wishes to re-
turn. The Indians are quiet and perfectly molten
sive, resembling strongly those the branches Of
the American River. A few days previous to the
departure of Mr. Towle, a large train of pack-mules
came through to Rich Bar, and provisions which
had previously been selling for 81 per pound
could be bought for half that sum. The arrival
was very opportune, the stock on the bars wa
nearly exhausted, little having been sent in since
last fall. No damming operations areeontemplate
on these bars the lodges of rocks along the river
render the cutting of races impracticable. The
tide of emigration is flowing up the rivers and
before the summer is completed We may hear of the
Sierra Nevada itself yielding up its rich deposits to
the enterprise Of the adventurous miner.
