SALE OF MINING GROUND.-Marcus Bennett last
week purchased the interest of his partner, Mr..
Burgess, in the mining ground Trinity river,
mile above Point bar known as Red Point
the consideration given, we learn, was $400. A
ditch dug two years ago, conveys water from
Trinity Gulch to the Point, but the season for
water proved so short that but little more was
done than just about work enough to test the
ground, which proved to prospect even better
than had been anticipated. The present season
promises to be a good one for claims that are de-
pendent upon gulch water for successful working
if the promise be verified, Red Point will un-
doubtedly prove good investment.
Water was first conveyed to these claims by
German company in 1856, who extended a branch
ditch down from Grass Valley Greek, crossing
the river at the head of Poker Bar with long,
high fume. This 1ume was swept away year
or two afterwards and rebuilt by the company.
The ditch, however, was not high enough to
cover the ground to any distance back from the
river, and when the hume again swept away
in 1861, there not ground enough covered
by the ditch to pay for rebuilding again. In
prospecting last year, Bennett & Burgess struck
some fine paying ground, some ways back of the
old German ditch, which the Trinity Gulch water
covers.
