I suppose you have heard thas the
quartz loads in the Gregory Diggings
had closed, or, rather, had ran into py-
rites Of iron and that those who never
fail 10 start and keep bad news going,
we're again rejoicing over oar misfor-
tunas. / think that thsra is . elAss Of
people who were Grsatsd for she express
PurPose OF trying to render sEsry one
around shsm unhappy bat generally IL
rscoils on their own head. Whsu it was
reported that quarts leads we're closing,
thsy made use Of jokss 81 eur expense
but there vera some Who had confidence
in the leads ooming-to again (this is
miners phrase,) and surs enough they
have. Henderson, GEidlsy d Co., have
worked through tAs pyrites Of iron,
which we're twenty-five feet thick, and
underneath hare found better pay dirt
than any yst discovered, and am sat-
isfsd thai the leads viii ell tuEn ous
in ths same way. Henderson, GEidlsy
l. 90. took out, from under the pyriGss
Of iron, from twenty TO twenty-five pen
nyWeights Of gold to the pan.
Since writing the above, some of our
company have returned from the South |
Park, and have found iiggings (gulsb)
that pay from ftsy 20 seventy. Eve cents |
TO the pan. We have cords of quarts !
all ps@dy fas arz1ahsas, Lua sail kaus ~ |

Our constitutional convention closed,
after quite stormy session some we're |

ings Of the convention, from which you |
can see what we have doas.
The miners are all doing well-soms |
are alrssdy leaving for their homes in |
the States, taking plenty Of gOlG With |
them, intending TO return again in the
spring With their families. Some of
Green RusssIPs company left last Mon
day for Georgia, and took along With |
them the kind wishes Of as all, and
about sevsnty-two thousa and dollars in !
gold, the rssaIk Of four mems labor Ia |
less than four m months. Mr., Jones Of |
the Grm Of Jones 4 Russell, have just |
purchased the Pollock House in Auraris, |
for three thousand dollars, whish they |
intend to open as q store. Property is
changing hands daily, and everything |
looks lively and brisk.
