| THE EXTENSIVE GoLD FIELDS or HubLuLIPA.-A
leisure hour two Saturday, was devoted to a
visit to the mining fields of Hullulipa alias Rancheria
alias Columbus, situated on the opposite side ofthe
river aid about two miles below oroville They
miles in extent and from several points present
vast seas eff Chinese heads, and concal shaped piles
Of dirt thrown up from their rockers. We have not
heard reliable estimate of the number of Cinnamon
engaged in mining operations at this point, but II
casual glance would satisfy the beho der that they
are numerous and offer excellent field for the
collector of the Foreign Miners Tax But the Chi
nese not permitted monopoly of these diggngs,
as there many American miners who engaged
In successful mining operations.
The water of the Thompson's Flat Ditch is con-
veyed this point and is also raised from the
river by means of wheel turned by the current,
by force pumps ind, in instance, steam en-
CINE has been employed for Il at purpose. Mr..
Grimes has placed big wheel in the river, which
lifts the water up into suIce boxes, and conveys it TO
the Cinnamon, ut two bits per day for rocker His
machinery may have cost him three or four hundred
dollars, and furnishes water for about one hundred
and fifty rockers, leaving the proprietor no other la
Dor but that of collecting his quarters at night. II
appeared to us to be olerably fair operation. An
other operation, which seems TO be equally profit
able, is force pdmp driven by Il alter wheel Far
ther back from the river and upon higher ground,
a per son has sunk well and sells the water at two
bits per rocker the Cinnamon drawing it themselves.

the accommodation of those who nay desire his adj
vice and services McConnells Ferry has been To-
Gated at the lower end of the settlement, and Will
doubtless do aourishing business.
! Our limited visit prevented us from noting all
the Improvements and enterprises that going on
in that vicinity The diggings however appear TO be
extensive, and capable of giving labor to thousands
of miners for years. We enquired of John busy at
his roc ger, how much he making per =? and
was answered, -'One bit" lie also informed us
worth 50 SO per pound! We did not understand
how bit diggings could pay two bits for WATER and

labor after frankly acknowledging that he didn't
