News from TrHnTfu

We extract the following items from the
Weavervi!le Journal, of Saturday:
The late rains have done considerable dam
age throughout the county; enough water
fell to drive the miners from the river bed,
but not enough to be of any benefit to dry
diggngs.
The tunnel through the hill back of the
church. and the water corral below-the
work of Messrs. Jones & Howe-is comple.
ted. Mr. Hesseg has built a similar defence
for his garden property and Mr.. Tuthill, be-
low, has completee one 5000 feet long-mak-
ing in all, half mile Of corral, at an expense
of $4,000.
None of the fumes on the river that we
have heard of, were materially damaged by
the late rains, but the rise in the river will
prevent any more work from being done this
season. Waters IL Co., below the North
Fork, have taken a large amount of money
from their claim, bnt the expense of getting
ready to work was so great that but little
more will be realised.
Weare told that a company of capitalists
from Marysville, have purchased the survey
and right of way of Mr. Olney Phillips, of
Lewistown, for a ditch surveyed by him last
summer, from Stuart's Fork to Bolts dig
gings, and that if the ditch lately dug from
Rush Creek to East Weaver Creek can be
procured, they will turn one half of the wa
ter into the Weaver basin, and the remainder
on Bolts diggings Could such an arrange
ment be made, the ditch would be the best
property in California.
Messrs. Ball, Peterson d Co. have nearly
completed a ditch from Rush Creek to Mus
ser's diggings, and the summit of Browns
Creek divide The ditch is about seven miles
in length, and one of the finest pieces of
work in the country. This company have
been industriously employed for two years
in the completion of the work, and as good
mines abound all along the ditch, we have
no doubt they will be well rewarded for their
perseverance
