KANAKA CREEK.-We are Informed by
Mr.. John McMilen that the miners on
this stream are realizing handsome pay
for their labor-as he thinks, doing bet
ter than in any other mining locality in
the State. On Monday company of four
Germans, working below the g Flat, . took
out ~ pounds of pure gold. On the
same day Patrick Ferris, in his claim on
the North Fork, found a nugget of gold
and quartz weighing nine pounds; three
fourths of the weight of which is supposed
to be gold. Three men on the South

contemplated to run the fume this season,
has been prospected to the satisfaction Of
claim holders the entire distance, and ey
|'ery claim is now occupied and waiting the
completion of the work. The flume is cal
culated to carry fifty sluice heads, and the
supply being from the North Fork will be
inexhaustible Next spring it is intended
to extend the fume as far as Wisconsin
Flat. The intermediate ground, we un-
derstand, prospects we'll enough to justify
this continuation.
