Correspondence of the Journal.
| In your isue Of April 5th, notice you say,
81 is stated that some thirty or forty persons
have left Striker, Wi,iilms county, this spring
| for Pixies Peak" aud "ou r letter form Pixies
Peak does not afford much encouragement for
timid people to emigra'e to that land Of gold. -
| Very true Mr.. E iitor, your humble correspon-
dent, begs leave to say that it is for the benefit
of just such men "a those Strykers that he
writes these letters. What do they know about
| Pixies Peak? Have they ever been hereP Have
| they ever worked in the mines Have they cv-
, et endured the hardships Of crossing the plains
or hardship of miners life? warrent not
| My interests are in this country and it is for
my interest to see as large an immigration here
as possible, the more the better, and it were
to do as most other letter writers from here do
| should paint every thing in the most glaring
colors. throw out eyety iuducement to encour-
aye people TO emigrate here; in fact show but
one side of the picture.
That your correspondent would not stoop to
do My object is TO show the country up jus.
as it is as nearly rs possible, aud leave the rea-
der to form his own opinion.
| That there is gold here aud plenty of it can
no longer b, disputed 1t will be full five years
though before this country is fully developed
and its resources entirely known. We have
gold, coal, murble anl gypsum, we know. Iron,
silver, copper and ted have hnve been found
In my mind there is no longer Il doubt int that
this Territory will in time prove to be one Of the
richest in mineral wealth in the known world.
Energy and perseverance must be in the man
that makes money, here. II man is energetic
perseverng. and able 10 labor hard, his chan
cas- are good here. Some of your readers are eI-
pnritnced in California mining il is even har-
der work here than there. To sum the whole
thing up, digging gold in these mines is the har.
dest labor man ever done. 1t is so admitted by
oil who have tride il.
