hr- the parties locating made no partlcu-
Is- -oiss about them, and accordingly but
E-,le newspaper talk has been had. The
Excelsior Company have prospected their
claim by means OF cross cuts and shafts,
which show the ledge TO De about nifty feet
wide, and enormou>ly rich in gold. A
tunnel was then started, which. when
completed. will cut the ledge at depth
OF one hundred and fifty fee: from. the sur
face. The same has been forced at this
time about sixty feet, and in twenty feet
further will cut the ledge. The formation
of ca>,nss Is very hard, and the work of
turnelins necessarily slow. but Il the ledge
continues Of the same formation as It de
sends, the work Of taking oUtquartz will
be easy. The Mechanics and California
Companies are located on apparently rich
lodges, and cross cuts run on the Lodges
show the same pleasing quantity OF gold

ten lodges have been located, and as there
