Dear Sir-l take this opportunity
to Inform you that we are both well
at present, and while am writing to
you, Hastings is out on hunting en-
cursion. He has been quite success
full in his hunting expeditions this
month, having killed two fine deer,
the last one Of which came in "good
play,' as we were almost out of pork,
and they had none in tho stores at the
Mines, nor have they any yet. The
pack trains have been three weeks on
the way from Stockton, a distance Of
fifty miles, only. part Of which arriS-
ed here last evening. They brought
flour and potatoes, and when they
reached here there was Q. gsand rush
among the miners, none ofwhom could
get any provisions, except those who
had been regular customers, and they
were put on small allowance.
There were eight ofus from one
camp, who succeeded in getting so
lbs. of -four, for S25, and lis do. po'
tatoes for s23, and glad to get them
a, that, as we had not sufficient iloul
to make blcad for supper.
/. Times are very hard here at pres
ent, and fear they will be harder
yet; for it has been raining and snow
ing ever since tho 18th inst, aud is
still raining. Owing 10 bad weather
and the high price of provisions We
shall not be able to do much this win
ter, but / had the pleasure Of finding
a lump Of gold worth SSf.
We have not yet been SO lucky Us
to strike big streak yet, but there is
plenty Of gold here, and we have con
cluded that we will not return to Nor.
gantown until we get some OF it. ]
can tell yon that this thing of making
fifteen dollars every day hero is u false
hood. A man may strike on streak
and make it for two or three weeks Al
a time, or he may hit on one that will
Weld 50 or 81 in day, which has
been done without doubt, and | am ii
hopes that Tom aud myself will hi
on one of those places some OF these
days; and when you SEQ us in Nor
gantown, you may expect US 10 have
some Of the deposites Of California
with US, for it is here, and we vii
keep on scratching and rolling ovo'
rocks until we get some of it.
shall keep my promise good ant
