not find better place Of resort during
the Summer months than these springs;
good fishing and hunting grounds are
near BY and also 6ne mountain scenery.
We left this place at an early hour on
the morning Of the 10th and arrived at
Warrens at noon. We found this place
much ivelier than we expected and
larger number Of white men there than
has been in camp for number Of years.
We remained in camp twelve days, and
during our stay we visited the Meadows,
and several other places about camp.
On the Meadows We found large num-
Der Of both Whites anl chinese at work.

McGinty is at work, next above on the

Meak and Mr.. Peterson, ground. sluicing,

Geo. Dyer are running drain through
their claim above. A company consist.

Mr.. Watkins and NJ. Anderson are now
digging drain from the lower end Of
the meadows to tap their claim, about
half way up the meadow, the drain will
be about 700 yards long and l6 feet
deep in the deepest place, and they ex-
pect to have it completed this fall.
Great credit is due these gentlemen for
such an undertaking, and we hope their
claim will double pay them for the en-.
terprise they have shown. Rcddiug, De-.

claim above and are taking out good pay
