Little digging is requisite, the gold being found near the surface, and is either picked nut by -hand, or sep. orated from the sand or soil by washing. The state of society, from all accounts, is in a very ds moralized condition, and prices of food and ordi nary necessaries have run up beyond all prece dent.
