dirt paid Is high as Fifty dollars TO the pan.
Parks Bar still retains its former reputation rs
The very best mining point in Northern California.
Last season, and the year previous, immense quan-
titles of gold taken from the bed aud banks of
the Iiver and yet the probable yield of gold from
these mires this season will equal the quantity
taken out in the last two years. A number Of COM
panies are busly engaged IL huming add otherwise
draining the bed of the river this bar-and none

their most sangune anticpations Claims ore in
great demand, and held at high prices.
A number of specimens Of pure gold has been
found by an Indian in the coast range of noun
tains, about forty miles west Of Colusa The humps
will weigh from 81 TO go each, aud resemble in
appearance the gold from the Trinity and Doty's
Flat diggins small party left Colusa for tho
mountains, but returned Immediately, having expe-
rienced considerable difficulty from the Indians.
They however mar aged to collect about IN ounce
piece, which they brought in Another party,
numbering some thirty, has left Colusa fully armed
and equipped, for the purpose OF making thorough
exploration for the newly discovered diggings
Capt. Amyx and Mr.. Augustus Wright struck q
remarkably rich lead at the head Of Garrote Greek,
one mile from Big Oak Flat. IL was paying at tho
rate of $50 per day to the man, and promised to
hold out for some time. The gold is coarse, and
there is quartz vein near where IL Is found.
Miners in Morris's ravine are doing well. A
quartz lead has been discovered by Mr. NJ. w. jack
son, which it is thought will prove Of uncommon
richness. If richness Of the ravine affords any ind-
cation Of the ganguefrom which the gold previously
found has come, gold bearing lodges OF great rich
ness are to be found in Moriss ravine.
The miners on Rich bar are now busily engaged
in fumng. The fumes OF the various companies
will extend from point half mile above the bar
to the junction of the North Fork and East Branch
The miners are doing we'll in Trinity county,
averaging from six to ten dollars daily Four men
within the last twelve days have taken out $500.
The miners Of Coon Hollow are busily engaged in
raising dirt from the coyote diggngs, and banking
it up until they obtain running water to wash
it out. The ground is extremely rich, and many
ming out dirt As soon as the water can be had,
look out for large yield from this locality.
Extensive arrangements are being made for fun
ing the South FORK above Coloma.
There is but little mining ct present in the i'm
mediate vicinity of Shasta. The small creeks and
being taken up every day, and as soon as water
can be obtained, the rich ravine diggings in our
vicinity viii be again thronged with miners.
The stage Of water in Clear Creek is now unusu-
ally low, and many Of the mining companies have
completed their fumes and have commenced work
ing tho bed Of the stream. Many weeks of labor and
much capital has been expended in huming various
portions Of this rich stream. The next two months
have been looked to as the time when ample returns

miles the wate o This creek will be carried through

Althougb We unable to state the amount Of gold
already taken out by some Of these flaming COM
panies during the past fortnight. we are assured
thnt they have been very successful. The bed Of
this stream has never been worked, and we are Of
opinion that it will yield enormously during the
next two months.
Whiskey Creek, which receives the waters of Mad
Mule and Stud Horse canons, and q number Of rich
rayines and gulches, is now sufficiently low to be

claims on the creek are now yielding handsomely.
The whole Of French Gulch is now in possession
OF old miners, and it is impossible for strangers to

them with favorte claims, arc obtaining three and

Thyce men on Canon Peck took out one thousand
dollars in five hours.
Mining is actively carried on at Murphy's, and
claims generally pay we'll Messrs Booth, Ready
4 Co., at work on Centre Hill, have sunk shaft
to the depth of thirty feet and out OF twenty
| cart loads OF earth took ont the handsome sum Of

Corral Flat still produces as handsome specimens
ms On the 10Th of July, two miners bought
an interest in Walsh's hole, and on the day max
ing the purchase took cut s:,0o-one lump
! weighing one and half pounds
The Maryssc ErlrcsS, speaking OF Wipslow
Bar, says that the Tuning companies at this bar
are progressing with their works rapidly. and that
in the course Of few days several companies will
be in the bed of the river A mining point, per-
haps, Winslow Bar is not equaed by any other on
the North iuba. No less than five different COM
panies are engaged in fursng the river in the
neighborhood of this bar; and, judging from the
amount Of gold taken out of these places last year
by wing day companies, we doubt not but a rich
yield of the precious oro'' will be realized by all
engaged in iiuming at that point.
| Barton's Bar has heretofore enjoyed reputation
among miners but little inferior to the celebrated
mines at Parks and Sicar's Bars Companies are
engaged in numing the river at this bar, and ex-
tensiye preparation is being mado to work the bed
Of the river at the coming season The miners an
ticipate heavy yield of the precious motal from
their Tuning and other operations, and claims in
Tuning companies, we are informed, are in great
demand, and but few in market.
