For the TRANSCRIPT. CHALK Biurr, March l4th, 1862. The Weather.—Mining Operations.— Water diteches.—General gossip and pugilistics.— Damages sustained by the flood. ; Messes Eprrons TransenreT.—Spring, glorious spring is fuirly upon ue, but this day defiantly gives the lie to’ the season. for it is not only snowing, but just dropping down in flakes of the size of one and-a-half inches, in diameter. No exaggeration about that, for I have a very accurate idea of the size of an inch and a-half, having dealt considerably in inches-for the past year or so. This kind of ‘weather just at this particular time is very unweleome, an the past winter. has been one of unusual severily and hardship, mostly owing to the fact of our having had but little water for mining purposes, on account of the continual breaking of the ditches. There is one consolation, and a great one, which is that the miners make a good thing when they, can ‘work, as is easily proven by the yields taken from the different clams thus far. For instance, John Falweiler « Co., patie Flat, cleaned.up eleven hundred dol 8, after a run of eleven days, using a head of 200 inches of water; expenses during this tinie amounting to less than five hundred dollars. “\This is not an exception, other claims are ding about as well. Geo. Nickell & Co., have made several remunerative runs since last January, and all the Chicken Point claims still sustain, their char, acters for richness. The best rigged set of claims in the vicinity, or at least as good as any, are owned by John A. Smith & Co.and\ Lb located on Missouricanyon. Their sluice boxes are 18 x 32 inches, set on a 14 inch grade and extend a length of 500 feet 168 feet are paved with reeks, and the balance with blocks. At the last clean up 96 feet of the rock riffles yielded nearly one-half of the amount taken out, (whole amount, say six hundred dollars,) which fect pretty clearly denominates the superiority of rock, over block rif. fles. They have a pressure of 160 feet—use their hese are made of ten 0., duck double. All the memvers of this company are deseendents of the old Diedrich Kmekerbocker family, and to use the language of the indefatigable Johuny “dey owes no man notting.” Reason, why, the ground is good and turns out the mammon. You bet yer! The claims.on the other side of this ridge towards Red Dog, have not yet got under way, on account of the scarcity of water, but I have been informed that Mesers AllenaRitter, Wright,Darling & Co.,and several others are now ready and expect to run yery steadilv, when they make a start, in order to make up for the loss of time during the past winter. Talk of Cariboo in this section, and you'll be directed to Red Dog or some of the ether small mining camps, located on the suburbs of the city. Cariboo aint no where. That kind of stock wouldn't sell for one cent pra dollar, in fact it wouldu't be looked Phe Irish Ditoh Rene been thoroughly repaired is again running full, and its owaers are making a desperate effort to get back part of the six thousand dollars which they have lost by breaks, d&c , the past winter. I presume they'll do it, although gh before three. fs i eS A aD two pipes with 24 and 2 inch nozzles, and eee neenieareceetenetiaas es gia penton pass ened, their Snatein bead will begin to weaken. What they don’t make this -seAson will have tobe put off until next winter. Lack attend their ~ for dal good Union men. The South Yuba Canal upon which we depend for steady water bas shared the fate of j all ditches in regard to breaks, and it 1 no ted with due diligence it may be completed inva few dayz, ond then look out forwater the year round. When the Yuba shows sgos of weakness the company can draw on the lukes, which they have been building=forthe past six years. The price of water is very low— _ fifteen cents for ten hours. There are good times ahead. All the stores are doing a good business. atid the chirches and ‘school houses are well attended. The stage lines expect ina few. days to recommence their regular trips, and then the traveling trade will assist in meking thrtigs livelier. Owing to the religious turn of. mind, which pervades the community the ‘theatres were compelled to close, but as an . offset in the way of amnsement, we had a rough and tumble fight the other morning before breakfast. spring floor of adancing hall, each attended by his seconds and bottle<bolders. First round—one man down and the otler pretty much so, but nobody hurt. Second round— nearly the same as the first, interspersed -with a little bleod when the performance closed by one wf the hitters singing out in feeble voice—peccavi—he failed to get his second wind. mes The Colonel having been all through: the war, i. e. the Sacramento flood war, has again gladdened our Vision with his noble form and countenance, and although constitutionally adapted to licar a great deal ofease, he wishes me to state that he has gone. to work, right hard work, chopping and sawing wood: When will wonders cease.

For the TRANSCRIPT. CHALK Biurr, March l4th, 1862. The Weather.—Mining Operations.— Water diteches.—General gossip and pugilistics.— Damages sustained by the flood. ; Messes Eprrons TransenreT.—Spring, glorious spring is fuirly upon ue, but this day defiantly gives the lie to’ the season. for it is not only snowing, but just dropping down in flakes of the size of one and-a-half inches, in diameter. No exaggeration about that, for I have a very accurate idea of the size of an inch and a-half, having dealt considerably in inches-for the past year or so. This kind of ‘weather just at this particular time is very unweleome, an the past winter. has been one of unusual severily and hardship, mostly owing to the fact of our having had but little water for mining purposes, on account of the continual breaking of the ditches. There is one consolation, and a great one, which is that the miners make a good thing when they, can ‘work, as is easily proven by the yields taken from the different clams thus far. For instance, John Falweiler « Co., patie Flat, cleaned.up eleven hundred dol 8, after a run of eleven days, using a head of 200 inches of water; expenses during this tinie amounting to less than five hundred dollars. “\This is not an exception, other claims are ding about as well. Geo. Nickell & Co., have made several remunerative runs since last January, and all the Chicken Point claims still sustain, their char, acters for richness. The best rigged set of claims in the vicinity, or at least as good as any, are owned by John A. Smith & Co.and\ Lb located on Missouricanyon. Their sluice boxes are 18 x 32 inches, set on a 14 inch grade and extend a length of 500 feet 168 feet are paved with reeks, and the balance with blocks. At the last clean up 96 feet of the rock riffles yielded nearly one-half of the amount taken out, (whole amount, say six hundred dollars,) which fect pretty clearly denominates the superiority of rock, over block rif. fles. They have a pressure of 160 feet—use their hese are made of ten 0., duck double. All the memvers of this company are deseendents of the old Diedrich Kmekerbocker family, and to use the language of the indefatigable Johuny “dey owes no man notting.” Reason, why, the ground is good and turns out the mammon. You bet yer! The claims.on the other side of this ridge towards Red Dog, have not yet got under way, on account of the scarcity of water, but I have been informed that Mesers AllenaRitter, Wright,Darling & Co.,and several others are now ready and expect to run yery steadilv, when they make a start, in order to make up for the loss of time during the past winter. Talk of Cariboo in this section, and you'll be directed to Red Dog or some of the ether small mining camps, located on the suburbs of the city. Cariboo aint no where. That kind of stock wouldn't sell for one cent pra dollar, in fact it wouldu't be looked Phe Irish Ditoh Rene been thoroughly repaired is again running full, and its owaers are making a desperate effort to get back part of the six thousand dollars which they have lost by breaks, d&c , the past winter. I presume they'll do it, although gh before three. fs i eS A aD two pipes with 24 and 2 inch nozzles, and eee neenieareceetenetiaas es gia penton pass ened, their Snatein bead will begin to weaken. What they don’t make this -seAson will have tobe put off until next winter. Lack attend their ~ for dal good Union men. The South Yuba Canal upon which we depend for steady water bas shared the fate of j all ditches in regard to breaks, and it 1 no ted with due diligence it may be completed inva few dayz, ond then look out forwater the year round. When the Yuba shows sgos of weakness the company can draw on the lukes, which they have been building=forthe past six years. The price of water is very low— _ fifteen cents for ten hours. There are good times ahead. All the stores are doing a good business. atid the chirches and ‘school houses are well attended. The stage lines expect ina few. days to recommence their regular trips, and then the traveling trade will assist in meking thrtigs livelier. Owing to the religious turn of. mind, which pervades the community the ‘theatres were compelled to close, but as an . offset in the way of amnsement, we had a rough and tumble fight the other morning before breakfast. spring floor of adancing hall, each attended by his seconds and bottle<bolders. First round—one man down and the otler pretty much so, but nobody hurt. Second round— nearly the same as the first, interspersed -with a little bleod when the performance closed by one wf the hitters singing out in feeble voice—peccavi—he failed to get his second wind. mes The Colonel having been all through: the war, i. e. the Sacramento flood war, has again gladdened our Vision with his noble form and countenance, and although constitutionally adapted to licar a great deal ofease, he wishes me to state that he has gone. to work, right hard work, chopping and sawing wood: When will wonders cease.
