Mining COrrespondence.

BoNpvILLE, Sept. llth 1867.
EDITOR DEMocaAr:-A very extensive aume has
been constructed this summer at this place by the
united means and labor of three joint companies
The iume is eight hundred yards in length and cost
all told, to build it, exclusive of the labor Of thirty
two men for two months and half, five thousand
dollars, after mending their dam and religging and
fixing their Pumps, which are usually required in
turning or Turning rivers these three compan G,
have got all completed and commenced prospecting
the bed of the river, Company No. |, or known as
W. B. Floyd Il CO., commenced to prospect on Wed.
ncsday, and took out seventy three dollars on Thurs
day, hundred and fifteen dollars, aud to-day they
took out one hundred and seventy-fve dollars, and
shortly expect to take ont one hundred ounces per
day. There is fifteen men in this company. Compa-
ny No. 2, or John Hagoman 4 Co., have commenced
stripping off bed of old failing some ten feet deep
They have not prospected any yet but are working
in good faith and anticipate reaping good harvest
of gold for tlcir labor. Company No. g. or known as
the upper Bar Company, have stripped off portion
of their claim and obtained prospect of one dollar
to the pan. This excellent prospect has had tend
ency to enlven the boys and all around us is cheer
fulness and kind feelings The dimensions Of this
dume are, nine feet wide, three feet high and its
length is nearly eight hundred yards, having fall of
one inch to the rod. Six pumps, constantly working
keep the claims free from water and enables the
miners to work to advantage.
On Sherlock's fiat, some two or three miles above
this place the miners, general thing are all doing
well. paid them visit yesterday and saw some of
the gold that had been taken ont by Mr.. Broadhead
This gentleman is doing we'll and also others are
equally fortunate in their operations, wheeling their
dirt TO the river bank and there washing it, The fiat
is proving very rich this summer but the best of the
dirt cannot be gotten at owing to the great quantity
of water that into the claims rendering it dan
gerous to drift. tunnel will have to be into the
fiat at the lowest point to drain off the water TO
be worked TO advantage. There is large quantity of
dirt down at the red banks that will pay dollar to
the pan, that is now covered by water
From all quarters hear that the river claims are
prospecting well. Another nume opposite Washing.
ton fiat is nearly completed, and the members of the
company will be taking out the gold. This
fume is some two hundred yards in length and is
being built by A. Jackson Co. s. b.

THE WALKER RIVER MINEs-The statement here
tofore published in regard to the Walker river mines
said to have been greatly exaggerated The Gala
veras Chronicle gives the latest on the subject
as follows;
The Walker river dggings very little better than
those of Gold Canon. There is small scope of coun
try only which will pay to work, and it will not pay
more than 50 to 81 per day. 1t turns out that the
large and fertile valley this river, lately charm
ingly described Is narrowed down to the limits of two
Or three ordinary sized Pike county farms, The eoun
try the mines is said to be the most sterile and
forbidding imaginable. Living there must always be
too high and expensive to encourage the idea of an
enlarged settlement. Miners cannot pay for their ne
cessary supplies to be exported from this State and
realize anything for themselves at SO or 81 per day.
Mariposa Democrat., 1857-09-17

STRUCK WHARF.-THE Workmen on the Artesian
Well, says the Stockton argus, struck new stream
of water on Thursday, which is at present running
over the pipe at the rate of about 200 gallons per
minute. The water can be raised over an additional
pipe of about five feet. 1t now remains for the Are-
sian Well Board to determine whether the well shall
be carried down farther, riskng the loss of the pre-
sent stream, with the hope of obtaining larger one
at greater depth. The well is now $40 feet deep,
and the present cost of boring is nearly SIS per foot
The water that issues from it is soft and clear al
though of quality at first taste not altogether palat-
able. large number of our citizens visited the
we'll yesterday, on learning of the new strike"
upon which occasion variety of opinions were ex-
pressed upon the "pecuiar institution while a
majority seemed in favor of putting the thing
through"
