FRox TARRyALL AND rnE BLux.-Mr.
J. N, lidlngs returned from the Park Oh
Friday last, and gives us some interesting
i ems. There are about seventy five msn
at work in the Park, Making from one dol
lar to ono ounce per day. The disgings
are very spotted claim paying we'll one
day, may yield but little the next, or the
reverse. The gold is coarse scale, Of a
very 6ne quality all wash, and deposited
in water formed banks and bars. No leads
have been discovered, and the source Of
gold is yet mystery
Miners labor under great DISADVANTAGE,
because Of the snow and cold. Water
Freezes most Of the tina, and they can
operate bo, few hours each day. Under
the circumstances, the result Of their limi.
ted operations are very ha,tering, and
point to glorious results when Summer
dawns.
The snow in the Park is, in the deepes,
places. about two feet. and was melting
quite rapidly. On the divide beyond the
Park, and in the nearest mines on the
Blue, il was reported to be four feet deep.
A large number Of men were crossing
over on SNOW shoes. Animals could not
pass.
Some new and exceedingly rieb discov-
erie. were reported in the neighborhood Of
the Blue. yielding seventy. FIVE cents to the
pm near the surface. The bed rock had
not been reached.
This side Of the Park the snow is from
two to four feet deep, for twenty to thirty
miles, but road has been shoyeled thro ::
the track is packed hard, and the road now
very good.
Flour was getting scarce, there being
but seven sacks in the hands of dealers
when Mr. l. left.
