Very pleasent weather. We have a cool breeze every day here which Makes it very comfortable indeed, it Springs up generaly about 9 0 Clock A M and continues till Eve. We have had two Thunder Storms this Spring very Slite however, one yesterday, and one about a week ago. We gave our Holes on the flat (or one of them at least) a trial the past week, and am happy to Say with Success, and it bids fare to be very rich indeed. We worked 2 days in it, and washed 165 Pans of dirt and got $1031-50 cts or 5 pound 4 ounces, 9 penny weights and a few grains at $16 per Oz. (of Gold) It is very hard working these Holes now on account of the water, there being about 6 or 7 ftt to pump out every Morning, before we get it down and then it takes two pumps constantly at work to keep it Clear So that the Men can Shovel out the dirt. it is the Opinion of the good Judges that this Flat is the Richest peace of Ground in the Southern Mines. An Adjourned Meeting of the American Citizens of the place was held according to the Adjournment. last Evening, the Meeting was informed that Some of the Foreigners of this placer had refused to pay their fines saying that the Americans Must remember that the Foreigners are the Strongest Party. The Citizens passed a resolution that they Should all assist the officers in the discharge of their duties, and if the Foreighners Still refused to comply with the Law, to drive them from the Mines etc. A frenchman Shot himself today in the following acidental Manner. he with a friend took their guns and Set out into the woods in cearch for Game on the way they Sat down to rest laying their guns by their Side the pour fellow (whoes fate I am now discribing) took hold of his Gun and drew it towards him with the Muzel just below the Elbow of his Left Arm the trigger caught in Something and discharged his piece the Contents passed through his arm entering just below the Elbow in front and came out above the Joint, back.
