We do notintend, at this time, to speak Of

like those of this entire 'esountain region,

have been the labor performed; the same

LAKE.-Everything is quiet and prosperous in
this vicinity at present. No Indians have been

that section, though quite number are prospec-

An assay Office has been opened at Susanville,
affording miners an opportunity to have their
rock readily tested. Rather more grain has been
sown in the valley this year than last, and the
crops are looking well, though some fields have
been hurt by the grasshoppers. They have had
more rain this summer than ever before, and the
grass In consequence is very heavy. The residents
of the valley are apprehensive the boundary sur
vcy will place them in California, fate to which
they are the more readily recenciled, now that
taxation seems inevitable, upon whichever side
of the line they may be placed. During the
past year the price of valley lands throughout
Western Utah has advanced more than a hun
dred per cent, that in the vicinity of towns hav-
ing undergone still greater appreciation. And
notwithstanding the general sterility of the soil

Buckeye Hill Claims.

A few hours spent at Sweetland, and in the
neighborhood, at the beginning of the week,
enabled us to obtain the following interesting
particulars concerning the mines and mining
prospects of that region:
Buckeye Hill was the ground to which our at
tention was mainly devoted. These diggings
have been worked since 1852. The first labor
was performed by Gen. Evans, who still OWES
large and valuable interests in them. The
excavations on this hill show that considerable
washing has been done. Still the claims as yet
are little more than prospected. There are three
companies on the north side, which have their
fall, or discharge of tailings, into 4Sweetland
Greek. The first is composed of Hiscox, Lewis
& Co., who have completed a tunnel some seven
hundred feet in length, piercing their claims, and
have raised shaft ninety feet, through bedrock,
and are now washing through sluices laid down
in this tunnel. They have, besides, some eight
hundred feet of tail sluice.
From their first clean up, after eomPletangtheir
shaft and tunnel, this company realised, in run
of nine days, the sum of 81 ,662, using $50 inches
of water daily. 1t dsin these claims that copper
has developed itself, a circumstance to which we
alluded in last weeks paper. We are informed
by one of the company, that in an assay recently
made, it was demonstrated that the gold was
alloyed with copper to the extent of 476 thous-
andths, leaving the gold worth lessthan $sll per
ornce. Copper has been found in larger or less
quantities in all three of the claims opened on
this end of the hill.
Gen. Evans & Co.'s claims, adjoining those of
Hiscox, Lewis & Co., are considered ve-,v rich,
having yielded largely in the past. The COM
pany are running tunnel, which is nearly COM
pleted. When this is done, and the claims are
fitted up as they are to be, we shall expect
to hear of one of the largest clean ups ever made
on that ridge.
The Red Hill Company, west of Evans & Co.,
| are also running tunnel. Their ground is pay
| ing well now, although they are washing only
the top dirt. The reputation of the entire hill
stands high, and from the extensive amount of
work already done, to say nothing of that which
is doing, there is abundant evidence of liberal
expenditure of labor and capital, which deserve
to be literally rewarded.
