MEssRs- EDIToRs: The diggings lately
struck in the Newtovn Hill are as extensive
as any in the country. The Illinois Tun
mel is TAO feet into the hill. 1t has been
prospected in three different places on the
rim, where 50 40 to the pan was obtaiued.
800 feet in the tunnel shaft was run up,
and struck the basin Is feet up. A pan OF
dirt was taken off the rock, which was
pitching, which had 81 pieces in It, the
least weighing a bit There can be no
idea formed how extensive the diggings are,
but it Is the impression of all that the hill
will pay from about So to $40 day to the
hand, from side to side. The Swiftsure has
a's0 struck the same basin in a shaft run
up; they are running on the main tunnel
The Union, aC Fort Jim, will have to run
about 80 feet further to strike through
Some shafts on its ground have been sunk,
aud large prospects got from them. Tun-
nelstock is increasing in value; our other
diggings are making fair returns; the town
is quite lively; so you may soon look out
1Or a rival as a town or city in the noun
tains. Yours, PIKE.
