MINING NEWS.

In the Bniish Colonia Of the 11th inst, we
find two letters from the mines, the shortest oi
which, dated "FOrks of the Quesnelle River,
Aug. 81" we copy below. The writer is James
II. Batterton, well.known Expressman -
consider the prospects Of the miners in this
section as most fattering. An old miner my
self call myself good judge Of "prospects,"
and feel perfectly contsnted with the appearance
Of matters here. I will give you few items by
way Of sample Of what we are doing:
Forty miles above Alexander, on Fraser River,
is Ferguson's Bar There are about seventy five
men located here, all doing first rate. Some Of
the Hills Bar boys are working here; they say
this far surpasses Hills Bar in its palmeSt days.
Three men from one rocker, yesterday, took out
SO in fine gold
Business Is dull here at present, from the fact
that many Of the miners have left for the Carl.
boo country. OF the few leit, none seem to be
dissatisfied with their prospects. On the South
Fork, at Roses Gulch, some five miles above the
forks, there have been pieces weighing from two
to three ounces taken out On the North Fork,
the gold Is finer, but pays equally as well.
The CariboO country lays from thirty to sixty
miles above the Forks, in q northeast direction,
and comprises portion Of the country drained
by the waters Of the North Fork. Twenty five
miles up the North Fork, there Is q lake four
miles in length; one mile above again, one twelve
miles long. Into these lakes from the north,
some i've streams empty, two Of which have
been prospected and found to be rich. The two
prospected have been named-Harveys and
Keethley's Creeks.
On Harvey's Greek, men are making from
eight dollars 10 $50 per day to the hand, and in
some cases, much more. Harvey & Co., Give
men) four days ago. cleaned up and found they
had made 81, 100 for six days work, Of as prct-
ty gold as ever came out Of the ground On
this stream about 100 men are at work, and
think at least $4,000 feet Of lumber in use-all
Of which has been sawed out this season by hand.
believe Keethley's Creek to DO fully as rich as
Harveys. The day before left, Black & Co.,
CiOgr men-twO shOveling, one baiing. and one
sluice-iorking) took out eighteen ounces and two
dollars. Pretty good for one day, Mr.. Editor
Haseltine Co have claim with body Of dirt
some eight fetin thickness, the whole Of which
will apparently prospect from ffy to seventy
five cents to the pan-a fine fortune to the owners
if it proves n be Of any extent Sebastopol's
claim, above high water mark, to 20 buckets oI
dirt, yielded $40. On the south side Of those
Lakes four streams empty in, one Of which (Goose
Creek) has been prospected. Only one company
are at work on il, and they are making $40 per
day to the man. think there are about loo
men on Keethley's Creek.
Not many water bitches In the country yet
no disputes to titles, so Ear as know-only with
the Beavers who dam bitches and turn the wa.
ter out in the night, and the miners damn the
Beavers and turn il in again the next day.
The Blue Lead Co. have not made Q very
profitable summers work. The ground is rich,
but the country is so fat they can got no drain.
