The altitude is not so very great, compared with other points, as to ‘lead one to suspect its rugged character, but-the pedestrian who has traveled over the most favorable portion of it will never forget the toil required to find the bottom of some of its canons or the tops of the mountains or ridges from which tley*were formed. From the extreme wildness and inaccessible nature of this region, it «as named by. some of the first prospectors along its almost fathoniless gorgesand up their precipitous sides and rocky summits, ‘applied with a profane intention, but because it was the first expression that would naturally enter the mind of most persons who might attempt to explore its .fastnesses and view its wild scenery. from 2,500 to 6,000 feet. is a bold, dashing stream at all seasons of the year, and in the winter season isa raging torrent for a distance of seven or eight miles—almost its entire length. and cold, and have too rapid a descent nl to permit of any rich deposits of gold onits bottom.

Numerous large, gold bearing quartz ledges have been found in the wildest part of this region, but tbe difficulty of access to them with machinery has thus far been a serious obstacle to their development. At the head-waters of Little Canon creek, and the North and South Forks of Poorman’s creek, the country is a sort of table-land, and easy of access. It is in this vicinity that some of the best quartz mines in Eureka township have been opened. This region can be reached with so little difficulty that it is not included in what is termed ‘‘God’s Country.” This latter is confined to the slope drained by the lower portion of Canon creek, and covers a district of four or five miles square. According to the testimony of a number of miners~“who have prospected in this isolated wilderness of rocks and deep sunken gorges, for mineral deposits it is not surpassed by any other part of Nevada county. Its ledges of quartz, cropping out boldly from the steep sides of the cliffs and ridges, nearly all bear traces of gold, and some of them pay well from prespecting in a hand mortar. If people wish to visit a wild and almost impenetrable region, that is. “belted” with ~numerous~goodquartz ledges, let them purchase picks, shovels, blankets, plenty of provisions, and maké’-a; prospecting campaign in ‘‘God’s Country.” Water, game, fish, fuel, pure-air and magnificent scenery abound, and wealth may follow toil. Clear Water Blowers: The valley papers are having a ‘great deal to say about clear water in the rivers. ‘Chey account for the pellucidity of the streams on the ground that hydratilic mining has ceased, which reasoning.causes a broad smile to spread itself over’the features of the hardy mountaineers who read it. They known thé water has of late been clear beeause in the first~place came the dry s2ason of the Fall when there was not enough’ water running down from the-mountains to carry an appreciable amount of debris; and that in the second place tlié cold weather coming on froze up the fountain heads of the streams and hardened the banks and beds of hillside, gully andcanyon. When the returning warm weather loos :ns the icy chains that now bind the upper Sierra, then the streams will resume their old-time fierceness of current and sullenness of complexion. The Boca Robbery Case. In the case of the boy Bergendale, charged with committing a robbery at Boca, the jury retired at 7:30 o’clock Thursday evening. On the first ballot they stood ten for acquittal and. two for conviction. After taking five more ballots they came in at 12:15 yesterday, morning. with a verdict of not: guilty. The prisoner was discharged and returned yesterday to Madera with his mother and friends.

The Ditch Blockade. ea Hartung, who is in the empldy of the South Yuba Canal Company as ditch-tender, says the statement that the ditches could have been kept open during the late cold snap precaution and employed a sufficient number of men, is absurd and_shows that the persons indulging in it have no knowledge of the difficulties encountered. Generally two or three days after a freezing spell sets in ‘‘anchor” icé begins to formin the higher altitudes, and matter how large a head of water is coming down attaches itself firmly to the sides of the ditch. The channel rapidly narrows when this process once begins, and the stream is at least partially checked and becomes sluggish by the particles of snow and ice floating in it. Finally it freezes solid, A revenue of about $300 a day is lost to the Company when this occurs, and extra expenses for help are incurred in raising the blockade when the weather moderates sufficiently to admit of reasonable progress being made. ao Thurgday night 800 inches ofwater were rinning in the ditc!;down to the Big Tunnel, and it was hoped yesterday that the way would be cleared as far as t6°Crystal Springs between ditch is open.

Sheriff Lord was telegraphed to the early part of the week to take over certain persons whose testimony was wanted, but day before yesterday he received a telegram saying the charge of robbery had been dismissed.

Judge Stidger is a fair man, and is one of the last persons in the world who would do an injustice to the bereaved family of his dead friend. He has evidently been misinformed on this subject. Mr. Boardman’s family relations were pleasant. After he shot himself he heard some person iu an adjoining room remark that it was reported he was led to attempt suicides because of domestic difficulties. ‘That is false, utterly false,’ he exclaime d indignantly. ‘‘No man has a happier home than I have had.

The altitude is not so very great, compared with other points, as to ‘lead one to suspect its rugged character, but-the pedestrian who has traveled over the most favorable portion of it will never forget the toil required to find the bottom of some of its canons or the tops of the mountains or ridges from which tley*were formed. From the extreme wildness and inaccessible nature of this region, it «as named by. some of the first prospectors along its almost fathoniless gorgesand up their precipitous sides and rocky summits, ‘applied with a profane intention, but because it was the first expression that would naturally enter the mind of most persons who might attempt to explore its .fastnesses and view its wild scenery. from 2,500 to 6,000 feet. is a bold, dashing stream at all seasons of the year, and in the winter season isa raging torrent for a distance of seven or eight miles—almost its entire length. and cold, and have too rapid a descent nl to permit of any rich deposits of gold onits bottom.

Numerous large, gold bearing quartz ledges have been found in the wildest part of this region, but tbe difficulty of access to them with machinery has thus far been a serious obstacle to their development. At the head-waters of Little Canon creek, and the North and South Forks of Poorman’s creek, the country is a sort of table-land, and easy of access. It is in this vicinity that some of the best quartz mines in Eureka township have been opened. This region can be reached with so little difficulty that it is not included in what is termed ‘‘God’s Country.” This latter is confined to the slope drained by the lower portion of Canon creek, and covers a district of four or five miles square. According to the testimony of a number of miners~“who have prospected in this isolated wilderness of rocks and deep sunken gorges, for mineral deposits it is not surpassed by any other part of Nevada county. Its ledges of quartz, cropping out boldly from the steep sides of the cliffs and ridges, nearly all bear traces of gold, and some of them pay well from prespecting in a hand mortar. If people wish to visit a wild and almost impenetrable region, that is. “belted” with ~numerous~goodquartz ledges, let them purchase picks, shovels, blankets, plenty of provisions, and maké’-a; prospecting campaign in ‘‘God’s Country.” Water, game, fish, fuel, pure-air and magnificent scenery abound, and wealth may follow toil. Clear Water Blowers: The valley papers are having a ‘great deal to say about clear water in the rivers. ‘Chey account for the pellucidity of the streams on the ground that hydratilic mining has ceased, which reasoning.causes a broad smile to spread itself over’the features of the hardy mountaineers who read it. They known thé water has of late been clear beeause in the first~place came the dry s2ason of the Fall when there was not enough’ water running down from the-mountains to carry an appreciable amount of debris; and that in the second place tlié cold weather coming on froze up the fountain heads of the streams and hardened the banks and beds of hillside, gully andcanyon. When the returning warm weather loos :ns the icy chains that now bind the upper Sierra, then the streams will resume their old-time fierceness of current and sullenness of complexion.

The Ditch Blockade. ea Hartung, who is in the empldy of the South Yuba Canal Company as ditch-tender, says the statement that the ditches could have been kept open during the late cold snap precaution and employed a sufficient number of men, is absurd and_shows that the persons indulging in it have no knowledge of the difficulties encountered. Generally two or three days after a freezing spell sets in ‘‘anchor” icé begins to formin the higher altitudes, and matter how large a head of water is coming down attaches itself firmly to the sides of the ditch. The channel rapidly narrows when this process once begins, and the stream is at least partially checked and becomes sluggish by the particles of snow and ice floating in it. Finally it freezes solid, A revenue of about $300 a day is lost to the Company when this occurs, and extra expenses for help are incurred in raising the blockade when the weather moderates sufficiently to admit of reasonable progress being made. ao Thurgday night 800 inches ofwater were rinning in the ditc!;down to the Big Tunnel, and it was hoped yesterday that the way would be cleared as far as t6°Crystal Springs between ditch is open.
