Returned Unsuccessful.
The party sent by General Livingston
to prospect on the headwaters of the
Clearwater in the region where the i'll
fated Carlin party met disaster returned
last week without having reached their
destination. They reached the headwa
tiers of the st. Marie's river, but did not
get across the divide to the Clearwater.
Their expedition was failure from
mining standpoint, as nothing OF value
was found.
No Water in California.
The San Francisco Call says:
For the first time in the history of
placer mining in the state the miners of
the northern counties have been eompell-
ed by lack of water to close down at this
early date and await the time to begin
operations next spring.
Several well known mining men have
arrived in San Francisco to dispose of
their gold. They bring unsatisfactory re-
ports of the results of this seasons work,
but state it is not the fault of the mines
but the consequence of unusually light
snowfalls which caused the mines to
shut down for lack of water.
