weather that has been experienced in
these "diggins'' for several years, at
the close of June and first of July.
The thermometer ranged from So to
02o farenheit in the shade for days

clouds "lowered around our-toun"
and the rain fell in torrents, which has
continued with butlittle cessation day
and night up to the present time, and
there is butslight symptoms ofits hol-

has risen sixteen or seventeen feet,
but is at present slowly receding.

on the head waters Of the Pearl, and

river bottoms under cultivation will
