The trail up the Mokelumne from the Big
Bar Bridge is indeed rough one. 1t is best
on the Calaveras side up to the quartz mill,
and then the traveller had better eh0sse across
if he wishes to make knot an hour Be
tween the bridge and the forks of the river.
the stream is being humed in fifteen different
places at about equal distances. A majority
of the companies thus turning the river are
Chinese, who seem to understand the business
very well. In fact their work looks better
than that done by white folks. The Chinese
live principally on the Calaveras side. in or

the Amador tax collectors.
A half mile from the bridge is a small
quartz mill, on the bank Of the river. 1t is
on the principle Of grist mill but was found
to wear the stones out too fast for profit, and
now they will try cast-ron plates. Their vein
is at the edge Of the river and is pumped out
by stream wheel that runs in the tail-raee.
Three miles up the river is
WHITES BAR.
Here is the first place where any mining Of
consequence is done on the Amador side
The hill at this place comes down to the river
with gradual slope at the base, something
like slide, and forms a larse bar, great
deal of which has not been worked. At
present there are several companies sluicing
on the bar, and Others working in the bank
