tFrom the San Francisco Herald September Ia
The news from all the mining regions OF the most
encouraging character regards the amount OF gold
which will be taken out The dry dggings will be most
successfully work during the winter, and the rain will
be likely to present little obstacle to working the quartz
mines Many companies preparing to work the
quartz mines with improved machinery and we shall
pect TO hear OF heavy yield from those mines Supplies
are being rapidly sent forward AID there to be
well founded reason to suppose that less work will be
done through the winter than the past summer We
have many encouraging private accounts from the
various mining regions, and shall publish Of them
soon get space.
At Doty S fats, near Auburn promising lead of
the geld bearing rock has been opened Specimens have
been brought TO town and the test said to be highly
They have been very successful for weeks past
upon Feather river the point where the stream
breaks from the mountains into the plains The river
UhrkEbly rich few weeks OF dry weather will enable
those holding claims to realize fortunes
The company which was organized the last summer
Tor the purpose OF dvert the water o. Bear river at
point Hliuostowp and throwing the stream ints
Auburn are successfully prosecuting their labors We
structiou Of this work which will be completed in the
o. xix weeks The iucslcuable advantages 10 be
derived from copious supply OF water in this fourshug
mining toNu, are apparent tn those who familiar
with the neurological deposits in that vicinity OF the
village Earth is now being cared TO the North Fork
mile distsrt aud although transportation down ths pre-
cptous hills which skt the river is treme adously
pensve 'tl the dirt pays well There is settlement
IN the State which SO imperatively demands boun-
teous supply OF water as Auburn, and We assured
that the company which has invested its capt. in this
enterprise eih be abundantly remunerated for their
outlay.
