understand, according 10 the Enter
prise. that parties are still engaged in
placer mining about the head of Little
Valley, west Of Washoe Lake, Washoe
County. In the spring of 1861 very
good diggings were struck in the
rayine coming down from the hills
near the southwestern corner of the
lake, since which time there has been
more or less surface mining every sum-
mer in that direction. As the parties
in Little Valley have returned and
"mined 1t" every season for six years
past in that vicinity, it is supposed
that they must have found sufficient
gold to pay them for their labor. The
gold obtained is similar in appearance
to that found in the ancient river cham
nels Of California, and it Is supposed
that it came from 4 break in some such
channel upon OF near the summit of
the Sierra Nevada Mountains. Pros
pectors say that gold, evidently from
the same source, can be found in GER
tain ravines among the mountains west
Of Lake Tahoe. This "spew to the
eastward must have crossed the spot
where Lake Tahoe now lies, perhaps
when mountains reared their peaks
where now the lake rolls its waves.
The gravel streak containing gold can
be traced by broken pieces Of lava Of a
peculiar texture and color, which
strew the surface of the ground. Some
"big digginSs" may yet be discovered
in this rs yet but partially explored
region.
