thousand dollars per week. The expenses o.

Frazer River, --latest Intelligence.

I heard, last night, that letter had been
received in town, from one of our old miners
who left for the new diggings, that he was
making one hundred dollars a deg. en-
deaVored to trace this fattering intelligence
to its source, found that Mr. Browns wife'a
cook had been told by Mrs. Smiths cook
that Mr.. Smith had been told by Mr. Jones
that Mr.. Jenkins had heard Mr.. Trevellian
say that Mr.. Green's wife's mother-in-law
heard that her covsin John Williams had
talked with man who told him that he had
just seen man who heard that his wife
cousin Jane had received letter from her
intended, who wrote that he was making one
hundred dollars day, and that he hoped
soon to return to make her happy. AS this
information comes 30 direct, it's truthfulness
cannot be questioned. I.

Parties seem to have prospected back in the
hills and ravines where they could get al
them, but in almost every case without sue
cess. The color can be obtained anywhere,
but no diggings that will pay. This is the
universal experience in the mines of Wash
ington Territory, where they have washed
for tour gears, and it will prove true of all
that region north of the Columbia River
The country is SO exceedingly rough and the
river banks so steep that all the gold has
found its way into the very lowest bars on
| the rivers.
One great popularity of California, and
that which adds the chief value to her placer
mines, is the fart that her entire system of
rivers has, at some remote time, changed
their course, submerging, in all probability
almost the entire country and piling up im-
mense beds of auriferous drift in the ancient
depressions, and leaving the ancient river
beds high and dry, hundreds and thousands
OF feet above the level of the present system
OF rivers. It is the subsequent wearing
down of these ancient deposits that has en-
riched the rivers of California, and it is
those old river beds which now afford the
richest and most permanent placers Of Cali
fornia.
No such condition of things exists in the
Frazer River country. The mountains have
been gradually elevated to their present po
sition without any attending or subsequent
cOnvulsions to disturb the flow of water
From the time when " Creation first began"
those rivers have been running in the same
old channels Of the primitive granite forma-
tion, and wearing them deeper and deeper
until their banks are now almost inacccss-
ble-the CATIONS fa- exceeding in depth the
corresponding ones in our own State If
this inference is correct, which all accounts
go to substantiate, it will be in vain to look
for extensive diggings anywhere in that re-
gion except upon the rivers.

We haI e collected a few facts, with re
gard to this new mining region, which may
prove of interest to scme of our readers.
THE RIVERS.
The site of this new Ell Dor ado is far uI
among the inhospitable regions of the north
the upper tributaries of the golden stream
having their sources hidden in the midst Of
impenetrab!e and eternal SHOWS. The riv'
ers, in the mountains where the gold is
found ale encompassed and confined to
narrow channels by rocky and precipitous
mountains, rising with sleeps, often mac
cessable for miles, to nights varying from
three to six thousand feet! The river dis
charges an immense volume of water and,
where it opens into the valley the body Of
water, at its highest stage is said to be eight
times the volume of the Sacramento, when
bank full The reports which are constantly
reaching US by every arrival all agree in
pronouncing it one of the most turbulent
and dangerous rivers on the globe.
The GOLD.
The information we have with regard TO
the gold is extremity scanty. The existence
of the precious metals in its sands is no new
thing. 1t has been gathered by the Indians
for many years, and its existegae has been
frequently alluded to by travellers and in
official reports So well established has long
been the fact of its existence that illusions
to it's presence, has not, until recently ex-
cited any especial curiosity or excitement
A writer in a late number of the London
Mining Journal issued before the news of
the new excitement could have reached there,
carelessly speaks of it as follows, in an arti-
Gle with reference to the proposed continen-
tai railroad through the British Possessions
"In approaching its western terminus, op
posite Vancouver Island, it will traverse the
most eligible portion of the Hudson's Bay
Company's Territories, west Of the Rocky
Mountains, coal being found along the coast,
and gold in Thompson riper."
The Italics are our own. There can be DO
dispute about the actual existence of gold
in considerable and remunative quantities
but it will require time to develope it
Take the reports altogether, weed out the
heresay evidence, throw aside the mere waits
of flying rumors which have no other foun-
dation than the overwrought immagination
of some excitable letter writer. or some
paid scribbzer, and what does it all amount
to? Docs it amount to half as much as can
be gathered in the same time from any mi
ming county in this State, from Kern River.
from the Colville mines, or even from the
newly discovered gold fields of Iowa? No
sensible man will for moment dispute our
position that it does not
