1 first struck his pick in the auriferous
soil Of the mountains has there been such
a woful dcarth of mining news, as at
present. We might give a column tell
ing what the miners are doing. but it
would amount to but little in reality.
Along the rivers are troops of labor

cles for comparatively nothing, and wish
ing the rainy season to hasten the har-
vest they are anxious to engage in. In
some parts of the county, San Juan and
adjacent country, there is an abundance
Of water, and the miners are prospering.
Other localities are not SO fortunate
Water is all we want to furnish curren-
cy for the world The Snow Mountain
Ditch company hold in their hands more
wealth than any Satrap on a throne.
