, The water in many of the rivers and smaller
streams throughout the mining regious is lower than
ever before known since the discovery of gold, and
the miners enabled to work the bars and river
beds which they could never before approach. The
Ell Dorado Argus thinks that with the substantial
arrangement of the present season, in the way of
solid dams and heavy fumes many companies will
be enabled to work most of the winter, thus doubl-
ing the ordinary season of river mining The
amount of gold taken out from the rivers this
: will equal and probably exceed that of any former
year.
