No | claims whatever have been staked out. Meucans and foreigners worked side by side, and each man for himself; but very little gold was found by miners who went from here. All that was brought over was bought of the natives, and nobody knows how long 1t has been l taken from the earth. From Trinidad l bay to Santa Gertrudes Mission IS a dIs- | tance of seventy miles over a very rough l country. Many missed the trail and | suffered terribly of thirst. To the first | water from Trinidad IS twenty miles 1; to the second, twenty-six miles. There Is plenty of good water at the mission. After crossing the main ridge, which Is 2,5G0 feet high. water is very scarce and | OA u poor NuuAAtFf AAA ID ID Aach oOAAk CA- | hsdsted by homewsrd-bou prospec | tors. The Indians and Me1icans were | very kind and hOspitable to the foreign CTS. From the mission to the placers | the water is of a very poor quality. and | the deposits are very far apart. The | nearest water to the placers is fifteen | miles, and was brought to the mines on burros and sold by the Indians at fifteen | cents a gallon. This water is very filthy. | All that have returned here rejoice that they are back safe. Old and experienced l miners say that of, all their prospecting | tours this has been the toughest and | hottest. Prospecting for quartz has been done with success. Nellie Cash man and party were discouraged and did not get to the mines. It was reported that she and two of her party died of thirst Although they are returning | with unfavorable reports, few from here intend to go, and will take two dry | washers. Those who have not yet re- turned are daily expected.
