at work in the dry diggings in that region are
suffering severely for want of rain; though not
witbstsndipg many are hard at work in getting
out their earth. and piling il up in hope of being
able to wash il out hereafter. From present in
dcatons of the weather. il is hardly possible that
We shall have enough OF rain this season to be Of
any service to the miners. The fsrners in the
San Joaquin Valley, rs well as ia our own, are
suffering severely for want Of rain. Large crops
OF barley, potatoes and onions have been put ia,
and II We have DO rain in the course OF two weeks
great falling off in the yield Of crops will be the
consequence. Irrigation, il properly directed, will
