The Chilenos are seng out and eavrg for THEN own

Germans, re.ideIts of Columbia, and one by Mr.
Apestaguv who is q sorekeeper at Iuttletown.
The Cbilenos have suce g struck it richer than
ever They took out in single day Elk or seven ftty-
pound sacks Of the richest kind OF rock, which they
were crushing in arastra. Our Informant estimates
that they will realize between - O0O and $l00O0 from

TCTTLETowE IMPROVING. recent quartz dis
covtries in the immediate n.ishboIhood O. Kute'owa
have effected pelcephble change in the aspect OF
that camp. Many Mexicans and Chill nos have moved
thher NE houses being erec.ed, all the Old ones
ore occupied and the camp presents scene OF hustle
and life which brings to ones recollection the days OF
1919 when the human tice was seen rushiag TO new
diysipgs and camps arose as if by msgic in single
night. We hope that all this may no. prove tempo
rary speculative excitement but result IN the devel
oprsent of the aboundiDg resources of the Deis hbor
noc .pd the sold prosperity Of Tuttletown aud its
inhabitants. .
The miners in the vicinity Of Columbia are reipinS
itch re wald for their labors The Gazette says the
clsius in Main Guch are, with scarcely az exception,
paving largely, and some Of them better than ever
/ before.
The Main Gulcb FlumiDg Company have rebuilt
their iume from below Broadway to its head and de-
sigr finishing the remainder as soon IS possible.
The miners alorg the line Of the hlme are msny OF
near one third the labor otherwise necessary, The
claim at the foot Of Main street is being worked with
| an energy seldom equaed and is payiog largely.
Smith 4 Co.. in the lower psTt Of Main Gulch are, a.
| usual doing a great DEAL for which they get well
paid Below Bepsobville many claims are paying re
markably well. The claims between the Philadelphia
House and Springfield paying better than ever be-
FORE and many of those who axe so lucky as to owa IL
| them will make their piles
GoLp DISCOVERIES Indians have lately discovered
gold at klamath Lake. There is doubtless an immense
aurferous region tha reabous which has as yet y
been developed far less worked. by tbs few minets
who have penetrated those distant Businesses. Ine
waIke character Of the PITT and other ladian trloss
in that section of country has hereot deferred this
enterprsipg cass OF our popuatio from prospecting

ssvsges under subsection. We may anticipate that the
| Klamath Lake region will soon Ill up With mec VINO
| will develop its itch resources.
