The next is from "Jack K, and dated South
Trinity, Jan, 27, 1861. 1t relates principally to
the doings of the New River miners
FRIEND GoRDoN Il am seated with the inten-
tion Of giving you few items from New River,
the great Edorado of this county. Few people
unacqnantcd with this section are aware Of the
vast extent of mining ground embraced within
the scope Of country drained by New River and
its tribniaries.
New River to day presents somewhat the APP
pcarance of Rich Bar, Feather river, in 80 and
81. At the same time the mines are not pros
pected enough TO fully develop their vast mineral
wealth Al present there are bout forty men at
work on Poney Creek and East Fork. POney
Creek, as you are aware, has proved itself to be
very rich in nuggets OF large size, say from SlO0
to 5000. The miners Of POney Creek are all
dOuO Wpll making from So $40 npr daV.
Most Of the lucky ones on this Creek are old
miners of Wcavtrvie and Trinity river-many
Of them well known to you Mr. G. Titus, f. ~
G. Coffin, C. Powers Dntch Fred, DR.. Cohen, and
others. BY the way, Hart Co. are also doing

bar or bench that has been prospeCtcd in fact,
all the men on this stream doing well that
have commenced work. We have the best win
ters supply Of provisions Of any mining camp
below Big Flat.
The North Fork has paid well as far as it has
been worked, and with Uncle Billy Kirkham -
its pioneer, you will hear of some large st
there next spring. | would not advise az

tops are covered with from five
snow.
