Herman 0ulch.-Water, which he's flowed
beautifully in German Gulch this season is
failing quite fast now. but the miners have
worked enclgetically during the good head
OF water in sluicing off the dirt. and will
hereafter make good runs even with light
water, in cleaning bedrock. Among the
clean ups was the Buckeye Company-Gard.
ner &CO.-which took up $4,000 for the
first run last week. The Union Company
Moore, McCleary & Co.-took in $500 for
the first clean up, and have ground enough
sloiced off to keep them busy all season.
The Union Company sold to Chinese few
DAYS ago. 200 feet of ground for $2l, 00G
500 feet Of old ground TO another Chinese
company for $780, and 400 feet of new
for "a 500. and have $500 feet of ground
left. All these sales We learn are made on

man working. and the remainder of the
gross yield going to the Union Company in
payment for ground.
Some time Since, Foster, McAulcy & Co.,
sold 500 feet to Chinese for 81. OOO Thos.

$4,000, and still another claim below was
sold few days since for $4,000.
This leaves only five white companies
working in German gulch-the Buckeye,

first clean up.) Driscolls. the Eureka and
California Companies. There arc only
about 125 whites now in the gulch, and
some 40 or $50 Chinese. We learn that by
these purchases 40 citizen miners at Is per
day wages. have been thrown out Of emf

the past ten days These are facts that
bring the manifest injury of the Chinese to
our people, directly home to every Ameri.
can citizen. 1t Is not poor ground they are
getting, but the hest in the country. It is
not new sources of wealth they are opening
up. but they are crOwding our citizens out
OF the places where they earn their bread
for themselves and their families by honest
toll. As long rs Cinnamon are suffered to
impose upon the letter and spirit of our
laws by acquiring real estate. and pay larger
prices than citizens can afford tn, 60 long
will they continue to acquire our mines, aud
crowd out our people. The day when MI
