Trout is an old California miner and has no doab. there
il plenty of gold in that region; but doubts whether
very large amounts have been taken out. lie says
the people now there are not provided with suitable
tools and machinery to work into the m )untains and
crush the rock in which 1t il supposed 10 exist IN the
greatest quantities.. The sessoa IA so far spent, and
the wait OF water, these gent emeu think, will prevent
successful operations this year. Part OF their company
remain the mines, ana If they meet with such success
during the remainder oi the season as they nope or,
these gentlemen intend to return in the spring. MucA
sickness prevails the mountain region, according tn
their report. They have disease which - prevalent
and peculiar to that country, called by the miners
