The Cedar Company (successors on a large amount of work. They are sinking a shaft on what is called the Deep Sbaft claim where the surface has already been washed off, at or near the confluence of two dead rivers, They are now down sixtyfive feet, and use machinery driyen by a hurdy to raise the dirt anu water; they must sink, according to my estimate, about sixty-five feet more to reach the ‘bed rock, The ground has been very hard but is now softer and prospects well ‘all the way down. The same company is running a large tunnel from the Dutch Flat ravine through very hard rim-rock to tap their ground on the south side of the ravine much lower down and in a more direct and shorter way. This company is also putting in a new line of flume on the Central, but as it is being placed higher than the old one I predict a failure unless low water rates help them out, for the lower twenty feet of the bank is worth more than the one hundred and fifty feet whica lies above it, And -this brings me to the late reduction of water. The South Yuba Co. have the honor of first coming down handsomely and saying te miners: ‘‘our prices are 12 cents per inch for 24 hours; 10 cents-perinch for 10 hours, day work, and 5 cents per inch for 14 hours, night work.”” The Cedar company say: ‘‘gentlemen, our water can be had for 10 cents for 24 hours, and 8 cents for 12 hours, day work.”’ At these prices much ground’ which * ‘The Summit Company are preparing for a big season’s return.

The Cedar Company (successors on a large amount of work. They are sinking a shaft on what is called the Deep Sbaft claim where the surface has already been washed off, at or near the confluence of two dead rivers, They are now down sixtyfive feet, and use machinery driyen by a hurdy to raise the dirt anu water; they must sink, according to my estimate, about sixty-five feet more to reach the ‘bed rock, The ground has been very hard but is now softer and prospects well ‘all the way down. The same company is running a large tunnel from the Dutch Flat ravine through very hard rim-rock to tap their ground on the south side of the ravine much lower down and in a more direct and shorter way. This company is also putting in a new line of flume on the Central, but as it is being placed higher than the old one I predict a failure unless low water rates help them out, for the lower twenty feet of the bank is worth more than the one hundred and fifty feet whica lies above it, And -this brings me to the late reduction of water. The South Yuba Co. have the honor of first coming down handsomely and saying te miners: ‘‘our prices are 12 cents per inch for 24 hours; 10 cents-perinch for 10 hours, day work, and 5 cents per inch for 14 hours, night work.”” The Cedar company say: ‘‘gentlemen, our water can be had for 10 cents for 24 hours, and 8 cents for 12 hours, day work.”’ At these prices much ground’ which * ‘The Summit Company are preparing for a big season’s return.
