rhis camp has recently received considcra-
hIe addition to its population, principally from

The extension of the jackson Ditch is pro-
crossing finely under the charge Of the con-
tractors. Messrs. Robinson and Evans 1t is
expected that the water will be in as far as
The New York Gulch in the course of FIVE
or six weeks | believe that it is the inten-
tion of the company to extend it on to Jack
son and the "Gate" during the summer This
ditch will enable many persons to find profit
able employment for long time to come, for
it goes through a rich section of country
which has never been worked on account Of
the scarcity of water.
Messrs Woolley & Patterson, the proprie-
tors of the Stage line between jackson and
Volcano, have a gang of men at work upon
the Pine Grove Hill, which is truly in a
wretched condition. The road has been
washed out by the rains so that it is almost
impossible. Messrs w. e. p. deserve great
credit for their enterprise. Where is the
road overseer?
There is a continual travelling to and fro,
| by the Celestials. They do not seem to like
yalcano; they say, cheap notice, one, two,
FIVE hundred dollar buy one claim-no good"
But / must close; SO no more at present
from ZTGABoo.

CoxANcHA CAMp.-We learn that this
camp, Situated in Calaveras county, couple
Of miles or so from Lancha Plana, now pre-
sents forty-nine appearance. All is hustle
and activity, and 1t is confidently anticipated
that the dggings, which are extensive, will
