''orIlia, Saturday, Fe
Moscow.
1t is long time since you heard syl-
liable from me, and you have perhaps come
to the conclusion that my correspondence
has ceased altogether. But you are mis-
taken. The long expected working time
has at length arrived, and although its ad-
vent was heralded with the cheerless blast
of winter, there is no mining district in
the State, where it is hailed with a heartier
welcome than here. The roads are almost
impossible for wagons, but a, far as we
are concerned, it is a matter sof little i'm
portance, as our town is amply supplied
with provisions and stores af all kinds.
.Unquestionably the miners were never
so we'll prepared for operations as now.
Many companies have their timber cut
and corded up at the entrance to their tun-
nels, intending to devote all their time to
mining while the water lasts.
At French Ravine they are making pre-
parations for washing. They have not
water enough to work to advantage; how
ever, they will have abundance as soon as
the SNOW melts. You will remember that
number Of 30 and 40 pound chuhcks have
been taken out every season since 80. |
wonder who will be the fortunate one this
year?
At Wet Ravine the miners are doing
well, l have just been informed by MIR. j.
Robinson that claims are paying from $40
to an ounce day.
At Spring Hill little OF no change has
taken place. They are all tunneling in the
hill. Probably there is not safer place
for investments in mining than there. The
hill has been prospected enough to prove
that regular "lead" is located there. A
large amount of fruitless labor has been
done, in consequence of starting too high
The Red Star, Blue Star, All Nations,
and Black Ball, are now vt work on their
second and third tunnels. 1t will probab-

DOWnieyille,
Brophy's Pass.
Being desirous Of giving all the infor
nation possible, in relation to Brophy's
Pass, we copy from the Marysville Ex-
press the following extracts from Mr.. d.
B. SCOTS description Of the route. Mr..
Scott is well known as one of the ablest
surveyors and civil engineers in the state,
and his opinion may be relied on, and his
statements at once set down for truth.
During residence of four years in this
country, the past three ofwhich, in my Off
cial capacity as County Surveyor, and as
a Civil Engineer, l have frequently been
engaged high up in the mountains, in the
locating and surveying of roads and canals
for mining purposes. AS the most of those
surveys were made in the section of country
contiguous to, and over the summit of the
Sierra, by Brophy's Pass, l am enabled
from intimate knowledge of the general
character, and typographical features of
the country along the western slope Of
the mountains leading to it, to speak with
degree of confidence not acquired by a
mere cursory or superficial reconnaissance.
"Brophy's Pass is situated about in Lat
itude 800 80 n, Longitude 1900, being
near the eastern boundary of California,
and near due east from this place. This
point in the summit range of the Sierra
Nevada separates the waters Of the Middle
Yuba river, flowing west to the Sacramen-
to, from those of the North Branch of
Truckee, flowing east to the Desert. AL
though no instrumental observations were
taken by me directly to ascertain the abso-
lutte altitude at the summit, yet from q Sc
ries of levels taken, and by referring to
other known elevations and comparing
with this, am enabled to Approximate to
the true altitude of the summit range al
this point. From those observations in.
fer that the altitude Of this Pass will not
exceed $500 feet above tide water"
AS the route from Marysvliie To Gallo
ways, or to Downeville, is known to be
