two years he has had Chinese colporteur con-
stantly employed, and sometimes two. most of
the mining camps
"All the country from Marysvlle and North
San Juan, and sweeping around among the foot
hills down to the south, through Sonora Colum-
bia, Chinese Camp, and COultervile, has been
traversed by them, and portion of the field has
been visited two or three times. These men dis
tribute tracts and portions of Scriptures but their
principal work is to converse with their country
men on the subjects treated of in their books.
That they are faithful / have good reason to
believe, having been with them occasionally and
participated in their work. and the reports which
we get from them afford much encouragement"
