Eds Courier:-0ur floating population have
now nearly all left. and the steady miners, men
who are willing to work for six and eight dol
lars per day, receiving handsome return
for their labor. There does not appear TO be
any scarcity Of water ON Rich Gulch, and there
are many large companies who have from one
to two months work yet before them. The deep
diggings sunk in the side of The hills on Rich
Guclh are all paying well, making an average
OF fifteen to twenty dollars man per day.
Our wagon road is now completed through
from the Canon ferry and Shasta A few mule
teams, drawing 1900 lbs, came in on Monday,
direct from the Bluffs.
rich lead was struck to-day about two miles

claims and sufficient water. 1t is now settled

IMPRovEMEsr.-Ourt town is being rapidly re-
built. About ten houses have already been
erected and finished on the burnt district and
many othSks are III process Of erection. Indeed
so great has been the demand for builders that
many persons have been induced to-eave their
mining claims for the lime and repair to town
to get work In a few weeks we may expect to
see our town entirely rebuilt. 2 ah
In another column will be found the proceed
ngs of a mass meeting Of the citizens Of our
town held OH Monday night last. The meeting
was called, as it will be seen by a reference to
our report, for The purpose Of establishing the
future CRATE of Main street. At the adjourned
meeting held on Tuesday evening, the report Of
the County Surveyor setting forth plan forihe
grade, and estimating the probable cost thereof,
was unanimously adopted We have reason TO
think that the street will, in short time, be i'm
proved in accordance with the established
grade.
a With the Main street one hundred feet wide,
and properly graded, the town will present a
much handsomer appearance when rebuilt than
formerly The transaction of business will also
be greatly facilitated, while there will be but
little danger of our town being again go entirely
destroyed by fire. A
