terially augmented 10 buildings, population, and
general business charactefistics. this year.
Lumber. which until this season. was sold at
S25O per 1000 feet. from whip-saw labor, il
now furnished from saw mills at $50 per 1000
feet Aud, per consequence of this material
reduction in price. houses of dressed boards
and fine outward appearance have been put up,
which show handsomely in contrast with the
,ad log houses along the main street. The re-
duced price of lumber 10 also of Importance to
the miners, as most of the mining 10 done by
sluicing. But it 10 difficult to procure large
lumber, as the timber in that whole region is
unusually small in diameter. This will occa-
sion much trouble in the construction Of the
heavy frames aud foundation beams, We think,
required in quartz mills.
The camp contains perhaps seventy occupied
buildings. mostly stores. saloons, shops. and
tenements A good bath house, very fair
public house, and an excellent restaurant. a
barber shop, and two hurdy houses, mark its
"civilizing" peculiarities; the banking house OF
Major Sanderson, and the Assay office OF Mr..
Richard Hurley. both well sustained, indicate
its financial prosperity. A fire apparatus, much
similar to that in this city, constitutes the
means OF prevention against disaster from
flames. aud the supply of water 10 ample. The
place is abuadantiy supplied with fresh vegeta-
bles of every variety, good fresh butter. eggs.

80 miles distant, where several fine farms aud
gardens are very prohtably cultivated. Aud,
