Mountain city. We learn that the Rock Island Mill
is in operation. Everything is working finely. In
a run of two days the workmen took out two thou
sand dollars. The mill is located at Gregory's
Point. Other mills are making improvements, which
will eventually get them in successful operation at
some time but patience will be necessary to obtain
the requisite experience to the gold in almost
all cases. The great consolidated ditch is at last fin
ished and probably over one hundred sluices are in
operation Obtdining water therefrOm. The ditch
will not be able to furnish all the water required for
these mines Another ditch company has been or
ganized called OswegO company, comprising men of
enterprise and ample capital, who will hasten their
work to an early completion. Their survey has
been made, and found to be a more practicable
grade, less expensive, and mile shorter
than the consolidated. Ditch mining on the Blue is
now in full tide of operation Some claims said
to pay from fifty to one hundred dollars to the
per day. The California gulch mines generally are
proving exceedingly rich however, some claims do
not turn out as well as prospected. Clark Gruber
