The^summer has yielded its harvests, favor^^able to some, but unfavorable to man v.^| and winter begins to lock up for a six^months' rest the water courses, which^are indispensable to placer mining.^Hence, the prospector, unable longer to^continue his washing.--, starts forth to^renew the chase of fortune, laden only^with pick, pan and shovel, aud an^amount ot provisions measured bv the^length of his purse or the soundness of^his credit. Sometimes in company, but^more frequently solitary and alone, they^carefully investigate sucn ravines, gul-^leys. ^c. as experience or fancy may^dictate. Buoyed up by the hope of ul^^timately ' striking it rich.^ they endure^every species of hardship and privation^and not unfrequently are frozen to death.^Amputations ol frost-bitten hands and^feet are ot qaite common occurrence.
Thisnomadic instinct, combined with^practiced observation, alacrity in every^emergent-v, and self reliant bravery, has^moulded a race of hardy pioneers, fit^instruments to subdue the wilderues.-and^the mountain fastnesses. To such men^are due the discovery ot new mining^regions in localities where no induce^^ment other than the yellow dust will^draw the white man.
