sfEE MORE NEW MINES.
s Since our last issue we have intelligence OF
further mineral discoveries in this county
Mr.. james Batterton last Friday commenced
the survey of a ditch for Mr.. ]. G.. Robinson
q Go. from the upper portion Of Iin Cup Joe
Greek, for the purpose OF conveying water to
a gulch nearly opposite town--probably six
miles distant-half way between Mullen Cam
yen and Til Cup. Gold was found there i'm
1867, but as there was no water i'm the gulch
the ground was abandoned. We understand
there is an extensive bank Of gravel, fifteen
to twenty tectin depth, prospecting as high
as fifteen cents to the pan. On tie bars out
from the mountains. and some four miles
from town. prospects have also been had. and
parties are making examinations with 4 view
to taking up twenty lots and appl ying
for patents. lta 3ss " IS es w.
A large bar, said BY those acquainted with
the ground to be good for from So to Sl2 per
day to the hand. has been claimed on Divide
Creek, which,. probably. by another season,
will be pretty extensively worked, ...3.
A new gulch, within the past few weeks.
has been discovered and staked in the vicinity
Of French gulch, and preparations are being
made to put water ON 1t as early as practica-
ble.s 1t is believed to be fully as good as the
celebrated French Gulch, which has yielded
many fortunes TO the lucky holders Of ground.
Mr. John Kinnaman. now living at Willow
Creek, near Yamhill, is runnlng a ditch from
that creek to some bars OH the north side Of
Willow = short distance below the stage
