During the week just past there has been
some snow all over the mountain mines, from
two inches to two feet deep in places. Unless
where it eoon thawed, there was not much
gulch or bar digging, washing or sluic'ng done,
for few days, but now the snow and cold is
going away, and fine warm weather will soon
prevail all over the mountain regions. In the
Cherokee aud Lower Arkansas diggings, as well
as the Blue and Tarryall digeings, (in the gnlch,
bar and patch diggings} there has not been as
much attention paid to washing gold for the
last week as heretofore, on account Of the snow
aud the weather.
In Russell's and Gregory's and the scores Of
separate named diggings and districts within
miles Of them, considerable gulch, bar and lead
mining has been prosecuted during the past
week.
Ga Clear Greek numbers hare worked and
made, they Say, very good wages while they
worked.
