The Gold Fever

Our whole community IS now undergo
ing one of those periodical spasms caused
hv reports from the Gold Mines west OF
the Rocky Mountains IF one half Of the
number who arc talking Of going from this
and other portions Of the country, reach
the Gold Mines the coming season. the
mine. must be rich indeed if gold enough
is found to defray the expenses ct the out
fits Nor is the excitement by any means
confined to this continent Every English
paper that finds its way TO America Is
filled with the most extravagant accounts
of rich discoveries and large yields of
gold in the Northwestern British Posses
sions We make the following extract
from an article in the London Times,
which is only fair specimen of many 9th
crs that fill the columns of the British
Press:
Carriboo is about FIVE hundred miles in
the interior to the northeast of the mouth
Of Frazier River, and near the source Of
the south branch Of that river. The gold
country is fftv miles in extent from north
10 south. and thirty miles from cast to
west - that Is. explorations have been
made over a greater surface The gold Is
in coarse, granulated lumps, mixed with
gravel, with pebbles of pure metal, of con
siderable size
The climate is represented as being no
worse in winter than that of Canada; the
Indians are peaceable. and the only draw
backs are the want of good roads and the
consequent difficulty of obtaining supplies
of provisions and tools. f, both of which
very high prices have to be paid, Labor
brings eight dollars per day, with board.
The mining season continues from May To
October; but as tunncling has been ex-
tcasively commenced, there viii be ne
difficulty in working in the mines all the
year through
