OSCEOLA GOLD FIELDS.
Ward Reflex, April 27th.l

Frank Peed. who has been over to
Osceola for several weeks making it his
business to ascertain for his own salts.
faction what there really is in the dis
trict, gives it as his unqualified opinion
that there has not been found in all Cali
fornia, up to the present time, anything
that approaches Osceola, that il, the
same amount of auriferous earth in any
one locality that will average SO we'll.
He 10 of the opinion that the pay dirt is
between three and four miles long and
Of an average width of 100 feet. 1t is
fifty feet to bedrock in the center of the
channel and, Frank says. in no single
instance did he fail in getting from one
to ten colors on top. AT the bedrock
from rs cents to 81 90 bucket ia com.
mon, and for at least six feet above bed
rock 1t will 60 from five cents to bit.
When the channel reaches the foothills
it takes jump-off and the gravel is in
creased in depth 20 feet. The want of
water is what is particularly the matter
with Osceola. The cost OF bringing in an
amount sufficient TO meet all require
ments would not fall far short of half
q million of dollars. This outlay many
with abundant means would hesitate to
make, so Osceola will have to wait until
some one possessing the dash and daring
OF '49er, and prinoely recklessness OF
cost or consequences, comes this way
and throws himself into the breach.
Nothing short of five hundred inches of
water will do, according to the way some
put it. Many theorists have been sent
to Osceola and have, doubtless passed
their opinion upon the district. but for
our part we much prefer to trust to the
opinions of practical men, who have
learned what they do know by hard
knocks. The majority OF the latter re-
port favorably. but the water question is
what let's them out So much for the
placers, aside from what must of neces.
sity exist in the quartz veins. We are
also informed that several owners of
claims on the head of Main Gulch had
turned the water into Dry Gulch to work
other claims owned by them. leaving
those owning claims below in Main
Gulch without water. Trouble will GER
tainly grow out of this proceeding.
Those owning claims below located and
worked them before the water WAS turned
from its natural channel, and, according
to decisions Of the courts, have a right
to this water. The above statement
concerning the prospects of Osceola.
made to US by Frank Peed, can be relied
on as being as near correct as any yet
made. He has followed placer mining
in almost every county in California
noted for its placers and should be able
to arrive at correct conclusion.

Bishop Clarkson states that the
Russians settled in Dakota regularly burn
bay in their houses for fuel. and find it
cheaper than fuel. II was told that a
ton Of hay was fully equal to o cord Of
hard wood for heating purposes, and a
ton Of hay can be cut and put up tor
from rs cents to 81, and then it can be
done right at home. and stored up for
winters use. 1t is the solving Of great
measure ofthe fuel question. The Amer
leans, after they saw the Russians using
IT, got to twisting hay like rope and
burning it 10 common stoves. / was told

duce as much heat as q cottonwood stick

ure OF several Indian posts by order of
General Sherman. among them the agency
at Grow Creek, intimates that one of the
most gigantic conspiracies for defrauding
the government that has ever transpired
will soon be unearthed. The army
officers in charge there say it will impli-
cate hundreds of men, especially in the
Northwest. and will put in questionable
positions men who have stood politically
and socially high.
