EMIGRANT GAP May 16th.-Snow is rap
idly melting and the mills will ali be run
ming by the 10th day of June Lumber
| hauling Will not be done this season as in
the past, owing to the steam wagon. A
road was constructed last fall a distance of
six miles to the mills, which will do away
with considerable teams. The presen.
landing-place for lumber is two miles be
low Emigrant Gap and at what is known
as Putnam's mill A number of contracts
have been let for other manufactured tim
Der by the railroad and others interested in
the business, so the prospects for this place
are not at all discouraging.
Mining has taken a rather sudden start
in the old Diamond Creek country, dis
tance of eight miles from here. Locations
have been made on nearly every available
|
at their full capacity. The Yuba, having
formerly worked through tunnel, started
to sink a shaft at a distance of 500 feet
from the face of the tunnel. They are
now down to a depth of 100 feet The
rock is getting richer as they sink and they
are getting very tattering results from the
mill. Eagle Bed, which is situated about
half mile up the river, is doing well.
These mines are all situated in Nevada
county.

ton having been made for the completion
of the dry dock.
