Mr. Sd.vers-would stick to facts instead of fiction he would do 'h-s " cause"���whatever that .may be, mare g>od than by romancing in the manner he is reported "to have-done as stated. He must be awjire, if he has at all investigated, that there are not more than 166 leases now held, ai.d that these involve barely 8000 acres. He fin - ther states that "alnust without exception, these hydraulic leases have been unworked, in fact no money has been spent ou them at all." Mr. Sawers' knowledge of the camp is evidently very limited, or perhaps his observations are confined to lower Spruce and the immediate v'.cinity of Third street, Ailin, fo." had he visited McKce, Upper Spruce, Pii e, Willow, Birch, UiilL-r, Otte. and Wright creeks iie would hive bnii'd that the hydra alie np.-r itor-- it ive. collectively, spoilt a sum r.\ceei.ini*. $9"30 oco in m.i.'li.ner\. ditches, flumes, etc., 'and were giving employment to a very large number of men. Mr. Sawers puts much stress upon the unsatisfnctciy conditions which, in his idea, exist on Spruce creek by reason of the "ticiotch- nuntsof hydraulic men upon the rights of indiv idual miners, and he states that there is 100m for 3000 men on Spruce " instead of 1000 or thereabout as is actually the case," As a matter of record, theie is not now a single hydraul'c lease upon 5Uiy kno vn workable placer; round upon that creek, except, peihaps, that these gentlemen should'aban don their private rights to suit the views of Mr. C.
