CANON CRY, February 6, ]

CANON City, February 6, 1871.
EDITOR JoURNAL.-Under the existing circum-
stances, Il mean hard times) why do not some
of the boys give US "a call? Canon Creek offers
more natural facilities for mining than any dis
trict know of in the county. We have about
three thousand inches of water, although there
are some who have not their usual supply that
depended on the gulches. We have fifteen hy-
draulcs in successful operation on the Creek
3,700 feet Of pipe are used, besides considerable
hose. All the reservoirs self-actng, except
one, and there at least fifty on the Creek
One great advantage is that we have the " fall
and the dump" to use mining phrase No
trouble at all to run bowlder through two feet
in diameter, as some of our reservoirs throw
three or four thousand inches of water
There are still bars on this Greek that have
never been worked four men could bring water
on them in. six weeks or at least two months
and am confident it would pay. As I am a
miner myself am not writing to give anybody
q puff, but merely for the benefit of my fellow
miners. We have all kinds of diggings; if you
do not want to sluice, we have lots of drifting
ground.
