where witinh lew days travel of this point
AT one time there WAS not less than thousand

sui no Bagley has been found, although the
TO IT hills Of old Sierra, from away below Red
Biaifs to high up on the Cloud River, have been
trarersed eyer and over again by the eager pur-
sners, This Wonderful eluding of hundreds of
OH lAountain men, but for the most undoubted
testimony to the contrary, would have raised in
onr minds a doubt as to the existence of such
man as Bagley. That Bagley has lived, breath
ed aud imbbed in this locality however, there
Is no question. This being the case the ques-
Ii n now arises, = Is there a Bagley among
us 2" We think it doubtful No man could
have mined any where within several days
trlvel OF this place, IN northern direc ton
without having been found long since by the
numerous prospecting parties. We are there
Diggings" exist ideally alone. They have no
local existence, and Bagley has no local habita-
ton ia California In short, we believe, there
is no Bagley among us.
We have frequently expressed the opinion,
based upon twelve months experiences in the
mines in 40 and 80, that 8 prospecting" was
very ndifferently paying business. We cannot
therefore permit the present opportunity to pass
without again impressing this idea upon the
miner. We satisfied, that since the excite
ment relative TO the Bagley Diggings first swept
over our county, enough men have been en-
gagged in searching for it to Justify our statement
that on average, 500 men have been thus
employed for two full months or sixty days
Their time, at S. per day-a low estimate
worth $50, 900. Their expenses were not
less Than s. per day, or 100000 for the two
months. Thus at very moderate estimate,
prospecting" for the wonderful and mysterious
Bagley Dggngs have cost our mining popula-
ton not less than two hundred and ten thou
sand dollars So much for % prospecting
