The channel on which the Manganita and other claims in this vi» oinity are situated, has been proved, where worked, to be. of the richest and. most remunerative character. flourishing camp in the State. Mil _lions of dollars-have been taken out from the chaonel, and yet but a tithe of it bas ever been touched. “Work is now going on however, at different places on the channel, which . “will again bripg that kind of mining what it formerly was, oné of the best in the State. There are cart loads of gold inside two miles from town that only await the enterprise of prospectors to. bring it to the the surface. There are’ better opin such an enterprise here than in any. other part of the coast. A good many of the owners of the ground on the channel, in fact, most of then, have to allow it to remain nnworked just for want of money to do it with, Our resident cupitalists will find one of these days, that these: instead of by our own people, and the treasure which will be takew out that might be opened with a fow clubbing together our citizens. might “derive the benefit, besides beuefitting every resident of the communiwill all be done eventually by some one, ‘The gold will not alwaya_lie there to rust beneath the surface.

When that comozs, this city will’ assume a a new life’ and old-time prosperity. The time is vot far distant either. ei ee — County Hospitah There is an. advertisement in another column calling for bids for taking the contract of managing the County Hospital. The institution bas been, ,for the last fourteen years, ‘ander the charge of Dr. R. M. Hunt. Under his care it hag been so well kept and controlled that it has a repuiation second to none in the State, and we believe with less gost te the county than any similar institution in the State. The county furnishes the building, and the attending physician supplios everything else. The furniture, which oost in the neighborhood of $3,000, was made and purchased expressly for the institution.” Tho. buildings have been kept in good repair, and the grounds have also been put and kept in order by the physician in attendance, One reason why the expense of caring for the. indigent sick has been so light upon the county, is from the fact that all the necessary farniture and aparatus, is owned by the party who has had the contract with, would have to expend two or three thousand dollars for auch thiags, with a probability of holding tae position only for two years, when his fixtures-would not sell for half their cost, certainly could not take the contract at the present rates without loss, Dr, Hunt, throughout his managomeut of the institution, has given the most petfect satisfactioa,and we earnestly hope no change will occur 80 long as he will consent te continue the same. We have no fears, however, that a change will be made, for no one can, a3 before stated, take the contract for less than lve has dove without certain less, A blast of 1,000 kegs of powder wag fired off in the Blue Tent Consolidated di: gings on Tuesday last, which faised and loosened up ready for wasl.ing about 200,000 cubic yards of dirt. The bank was over 200 feet in height over the part where the powder was exploded. A tunnel wasrun 120 feet, from which horizontal drifts were ran 101 feet one way, and 59 feet the otaer. The explosion raised the entire mass bodily toa height of four feet. “It cost to do the work, and exechtion was wordertul, aud: the ¢ Daily Transcript . test caresses 2 ‘The ground owned by the Blue Tent Mining and Water Company is miles from this city, and consists of about 600 acres, The gravel id a part of the rieli lead or ancient river channel on which the mines at Columpia Hill ore situated, and the channel has also been traced to the xtensive ¢laims of Jacobs & Sargent t Quaker Hill. The gravel of the lead at the point worked in the mine at Biue Tent, is #00 feet in depth, and has been proved by numerous clean ups the pust Winter, to be of a-very remunerative character. The principal work now being done is on what is known as the South Yuba Claim, nto which a tunnel is run from the hillside below, a distance of 600 fedt;wud which is 100 feet below the bed rock iu that claim. This tunnel will furnish «n oulet for the tailings for more than five years work.Tbe hole being washed out through the gravel bas not yet got down to bed rock, ‘and much: of the washing so far this Winter hus been of surface dirt, because it keeps caying down, yet it has all paid over 30 cents foreach inch of water used, ‘The imiijg bas the best. dumpage of any in this sectiou—it being 750 feet from the mouth of the tunnel to the bed of the South Yuba river below. Two nozzles are ran on the South Yuba; one on the Blue lead and two on the Kuierprise grounds, The water at present used is obtained from several ditehes owned by the company, and—they purch®tse 800 inches from the Suuth Yuba Canal Company. They also own. a diteh . whet is 30 1iles in lenght; and est . for construction $160,000, It -was commenced by ‘Tozer, the former Superintendent, in 1874, but he only ‘¢umpleted about 800 rods that season, besides some work. on a tunnel. Under the present. management the work was aysin commenced in May, 1875, aud was completed ia Ovtober, There were 750 Chinamen Lemployed en the works ull-last Sam-. mer, und 250 white men. ‘The ditch tukes the water of the South Yuba river ata point abont 200° vertical Yuba Canal Company gets its supply, aud about the same height above where the Omega Water and Mining ‘Company obtuius its supply. ‘There are 4% miles of solid fluming at the heud of the ditch, and a tunnel just below it of 1,000 feet in length. The ditch arvund the steep hillsides, where there is danger of show slides, was blasted into the rocks mostofthe way, 80 that during the past severe Winter not a break has thus far been made. This method was more expensive, but it will prove most economical in the end, At one of those points—450 reds-of the ditch cost .$38,000 for construction, The ditch will carry 5,900 inches of water as far as Omega, where it is expected 1,000 inches or more. will be sold. Thé balance, and all of it, if meces= sary, will be'run.to the mines of the company. During the present season it is the intention of the company to erect extensive dams above the head of the ditch at different points wherever there is an unoccupied water shed, so us to secure an abundant supply of water for tae entire season. Tho snow'on the upper line of ‘the diteh is fom sight to twelve feet in depth. Mon-are at work cleaning it out, and will get water to running in thecourse of two or three weeks. The company have expended, exclusive of purchase money, over $250,000 .for permanent improvements, and have not done yet, though it is expected the proceeds of the mines will pay for what will be done hereafter. We used to get items about the mine, but since the §present Superintendent took charge, he has. been so engaged with his work that we have failed to keep posted until rcently. Taking the excellent facilities for “dumpage surounding the ness of its channel, the means of obtaining an ample supply of water, and the easy chargcteg of the ground to be worked, we think all will agree one, and fora long time in the future will continue to pay large and regular dividends to the owners, The company deserve success for the enterprise and liverality they have manifésted in opening up the mines, aud we feel eontident they will achieve it to their entire satisfaction.

This tunnel will furnish «n oulet for the tailings for more than five years work.Tbe hole being washed out through the gravel bas not yet got down to bed rock, ‘and much: of the washing so far this Winter hus been of surface dirt, because it keeps caying down, yet it has all paid over 30 cents foreach inch of water used, ‘The imiijg bas the best. dumpage of any in this sectiou—it being 750 feet from the mouth of the tunnel to the bed of the South Yuba river below. Two nozzles are ran on the South Yuba; one on the Blue lead and two on the Kuierprise grounds, The water at present used is obtained from several ditehes owned by the company, and—they purch®tse 800 inches from the Suuth Yuba Canal Company. They also own. a diteh . whet is 30 1iles in lenght; and est . for construction $160,000, It -was commenced by ‘Tozer, the former Superintendent, in 1874, but he only ‘¢umpleted about 800 rods that season, besides some work. on a tunnel. Under the present. management the work was aysin commenced in May, 1875, aud was completed ia Ovtober, There were 750 Chinamen Lemployed en the works ull-last Sam-. mer, und 250 white men. ‘The ditch tukes the water of the South Yuba river ata point abont 200° vertical Yuba Canal Company gets its supply, aud about the same height above where the Omega Water and Mining ‘Company obtuius its supply. ‘There are 4% miles of solid fluming at the heud of the ditch, and a tunnel just below it of 1,000 feet in length. The ditch arvund the steep hillsides, where there is danger of show slides, was blasted into the rocks mostofthe way, 80 that during the past severe Winter not a break has thus far been made. This method was more expensive, but it will prove most economical in the end, At one of those points—450 reds-of the ditch cost .$38,000 for construction, The ditch will carry 5,900 inches of water as far as Omega, where it is expected 1,000 inches or more. will be sold. Thé balance, and all of it, if meces= sary, will be'run.to the mines of the company. During the present season it is the intention of the company to erect extensive dams above the head of the ditch at different points wherever there is an unoccupied water shed, so us to secure an abundant supply of water for tae entire season. Tho snow'on the upper line of ‘the diteh is fom sight to twelve feet in depth. Mon-are at work cleaning it out, and will get water to running in thecourse of two or three weeks. The company have expended, exclusive of purchase money, over $250,000 .for permanent improvements, and have not done yet, though it is expected the proceeds of the mines will pay for what will be done hereafter. We used to get items about the mine, but since the §present Superintendent took charge, he has. been so engaged with his work that we have failed to keep posted until rcently. Taking the excellent facilities for “dumpage surounding the ness of its channel, the means of obtaining an ample supply of water, and the easy chargcteg of the ground to be worked, we think all will agree one, and fora long time in the future will continue to pay large and regular dividends to the owners, The company deserve success for the enterprise and liverality they have manifésted in opening up the mines, aud we feel eontident they will achieve it to their entire satisfaction.
