We thank you for your notice of the election of a Justice of the Peace in your place, and for...‘(more praise, etc., of writer.) "We are pleased to hear you say: "There 1s quite an excitement in town concerning the rich lead lately struck in RED DOG HILL. Messrs Coats & Backman (Couts,A. & Buckman,J.M.)LLW) gentlemen of true Anglo-Saxon perserverance, have been making very good wages by "panning out", not having sufficient water to wash to any advantage with either sluices or rocker. As soon as we have water you may expect to hear of some tall fortunes being taken out of their hiding places in this and other hills in the vicinity. I must say that we can boast of as fine a set of mines in our diggings as ever graced the face of California. As for the claims, let them speak for themselves---no one will ever find fault with them." Nov. 9-(Y.A. changed this date to evening) LITTLE YORK-Miners here have discovered a bed of cement, 6 to 10 feet thick, formed of broken up granite, cemented. It averages 40¢ to 50¢ to the pan. RED DOG-In Red Dog another extensive lead of fine richness has been opened. This district contains three large leads one of superior wealth in ore. Mines that can work are doing remarkably well, some making good wages by the old mode of washing in the "rocker", all they want to enable them to compete favorbly with any in the County is water which they can have whentheir Ditch is completed, which is partially ona stand on account of the funds of the present owners being exhausted. Dec. 14-The Red Dog Diggings stand prominent among the mines of the County. More claims being developed daily. Still lack water. /62.
