have been here since yesterday, and today had
the good fortune to meet with Captain Tfavaillot,
who has jastTeurned from away upon the Fraser and
Thompson rivers, and the informatioa he gives Is
Perfeoty astounding, and renders certsin the fact
that there is much gold 70 be had for .he digging on
the bars and banks Of those streams. t3
Captain TFayaillOt has been on the head-8aters Of
those streams for the last eighteen mOashs aud re
pOrts positively that the dggings are rich that the
gold is found IN dry diggings as well as in The
streams and rayines; that he knows men (ehieAy
from 0rsgenl making In dry diggiRgs from fifty TO
two hundred dollars per day. This is the rHtb and
could you see the honest, open eOuntenanee Of the
captain you would readily believe what he ssystO be
true. He also says that the winter Is fh6 best time
to Dig and thai it does not freeze in the valleys in
the winter 80 IS 10 deter from mining. Men worked
comfortably all last winter, with the exception Of
three days The best time to ascend the river is the
month Of September. The Indians are not hostile
10 the whites after August, bat that during August
the whites would interfere With the run Of the run
Of the salmon, upon which they chiefly suhsist dur
ing the year. He says the gold on Thompson river
is cosrse-the Smallest particles by him being
worth about ten CENTS and the largest pisce vsued
at fourteen dollars this coarse geld is taken from
the dry diggings
There is popularity that he cannot account for,
and that IS the absence Of quartz among tbe gold.
The country is full Of cactus 80 that it is almost n
possible to travel with mOecasins, and it IS well
known that frost is death to the cactus. 1t isuet,
therefore, frozen region the banks Of the reams

AMERICAN INVENTIONS IN AUsIRIA.-Of
