The Humboldt Times of October 30th has the
following account of the late fight with the Indians
in that quarter:
The volunteer company under command of |. G
Messick, surprised camp of hostile Indians on
Tuesday afternoon, in the vicinity of Pardee's
ranch, near the new Trinity trail. The Indians
took to the brush as soon as attacked and made a
running fight observing the same tactics as when
Miller and Stephens were killed
The only particulars we have been able to gather
of the engagement are that the ranch was complete
ly routed, and John Harp, one of the volunteers,
was severely wounded by rifle ball in the shoul-
der. DR.. Guild, Z. S. A., went out to attend the
wounded men.
Four Indian warriors were killed, and two chill
dren accidentally, and two squaws and two children
made prisoners.
Some time during last week, the ranch owned by
Pardee & Barney, which had been vacated ac-
count of being surrounded by hostile Indians, was
burned down, and all the property belonging there
to destroyed. The Indians who did the mischief
dug up the potatoes, thrashed out the oats killed
what hogs and poultry there was on the place. and
carried off everything of any value This loss will
fall heavy on the owners, as the place was well
fitted up, and all they were worth was omit. More
over they have spent most of their time the past
summer in hunting Indians, and have been able to
do but little on their place.
We have retrained heretofore, says the San Die
90 Herald oc Nov. 9th, from saying anything about
the newly discovered gold mines the Gila river,
for fear that they not such as they had been
represented to be, and that by our publishing the
exaggerated reports flying about regarding them,
we might induce not few persons to try their for
tunes in that locality and attcrward be cursed for
our gratuitous information, founded upon mere ru-
NOR. But from what we have learned from relia-
BILE sources, we are inclined to believe that these
newly discovered diggings are no humbug.
We have some of the gold taken out there,
which is coarse and heavy, resembling that OBJ
tanned from the mines about Mokelumne Hill and
Sonora. The diggings are said to be extensive.
water plenty, and that the miners now working at
the mines are taking out from So to S25 per day,
probably the larger number not over So.
