The Leading Gravel Mincrs of the County Excited Over a Strike ‘at BSttle Grass Valicy. Fora fewdays past rumors ‘have ‘been rife that Joha C.

The valley extends from northeast to southwest a distance of one and three-quarter miles, and has “an average width of about one-fourth ofa mile. The. precipitous ridges along either side rise high toward one gazes down intothe lower _portion of the~basin below upon a sight no picturesque and refreshing that one seldom sees its equal, even in this land of beautiful scenes.

Men who worked there still reside all through the countyand they will tell the inquirer that. they used to take out from $20 to $40 apiece . in a single Jay with the rude implements then in use. The surface was twenty feet by them, before reachjug the bedrock. The lower part of ~ the valley, comprising one hundred. acres, was owned by a man whe took no interest in mining, and when. the land above had been deprived of its gold and his boundaries were reached,an effort was made tobuy him out. He would listen to none of the liberal propositions made. He held it-ae agricultural land, never allowing it tv be prospected. Finally Mr. Broderick came into possession of it by right of purchase and location. Being constantly engaged in his vocation as a humberman, the latter made no effozts to a’certain its value as. _ mineral land, uvtil a year ago, when he commenced prospecting it on a limited scale. The facts that the upper end of the sink had been worked to such a great profit, and that the great mines of the Kureka. Lake Company are being extensively and constantly operated at present at the lower end, gave rise to a belief that the intermediate land owned by himeelf would pay for development. . He had an 18x20 sluice run _lengthwise through.the center of it for a distance of 1,400 feet, parallel with and but a few feet east from the Milbottom of the latter extends along found to pitch off east; and the aluice in to also reach the bedreck, had to he sunk several'inches deeper.

From the tunnel the tailings would flow along Little Grass Valley Ravine, on the west side, and theree into Grizzly Canon half a mile beyond. The valléy has a fall of 175 feet from the upper end to the lewer., The strict enforcement of laws against hydraulicing would not interfere with working the claim to good profit.
