Eds. Ldger;--My time has been so much
occupied during the municipal election, when
your humble servant was elected Mayor of
this city, that | have perhaps neglected my
other duties, and allowed our hourishing city
10 ialI into an inglorious obscurity. However
Will now make amends, by giving you a
orlef account of the events that have trans
pred here within the last two weeks
The extension of the jackson ditch is fin
lshed, aud the water has been in New York
Gulch for two weeks. furnishing the miners
OF that locality with bountful supply of
the long wished for element. Several claims
have commenced Pungling exceedingly well.
already. Trotter & Co., cleaned up after
little less than two weeks run, about eight
hundred dollars. The Italian Company on
Carpenters Gulch, have done remarkably
well, although the exact amount taken out
| did not learn From appearances. should
Judge that this is as good locality for min
ing as any in the county.
Robinson & Co, are digging small ditch
from the main extension, to the head of Ce-
dar. Ravine, where there are several good
claims; it will be finished in few days.
The principal amusement here is the ancient
Olympic game known as leap frog and the
Italian Opera and Fandango. The ex-pro-
prietor of the 'Den" officiates as floor mana
gerat the latter, and has won hosts of friends,
with that 'grace and suavty of manners so
peculiar to himself" As there appears to
be no asprant for the Office of County Clerk,
for the coming two years, Mr.. p desires to
announce himself as a candidate for that po-
sition. He pledges himself to spend the en-
tire proceeds of the Office in the county, so
that the public will not be loser. He thinks,
if his creditors will support him. that his
election is certain.
Rugy Dick is becoming favorite resort
for the ladies and gentlemen of Volcano and
vicinity, large numbers of whom may be seen
here every day. The romantic scenery and
the pleasing melody of the COW bells, in this
vicinity make it very desirable spot for pic
MICS and clam-bakes.
But must draw this epistle to a close. |
| shall continue to keep the public posted,
through your columns, until our paper is
started in this camp, the first numper of
which will beissued as soon as the "cows come
home" Until then l remain your obedient
servant. j. HAwKER.
