are also doing we'll. Their claim aver
ages about ten dollars per day to the

from eight to ten dollars per day to the
man. They wash but three or four
days in the week, being engaged the
balance Of the time in hauling out and
drying the clay.
Hathaway & Co., are taking out the
dust in heaps. Their claim is consid-
cred to be one of the best on the fat,
which is saying considerable, as there
are many rich claims in the vicinity.
There are many other claims on
the fat, this side of Springfield, which
pay remarkably well, and nearly Ill pay
wages.

Of rich decomposed Quartz lead, las
the gold is coarse and rough, but of very
fine quality. The company have been
at work on the claim for the last eleven
months and have reaped rich reward
for their labor. One of the company,
Mr.. Pinkham has sold out and gone to
the States, to remain short time; when,
he, like many others, will return with
his family and take up his permanent
abode in the mountains.

Of their pans at the washing OUT" and
their well filed sacks as they present
