Title	How the California mines are worked
Creator	Chandler, N. A. (1818-1880)
Description	Chandler writes that “water has failed at our claims so we cannot work to advantage…” “Wages are lower now on act of so many being idle in the Dry diggins [sic] $3.50 is the common price on the river for 10 hours work.” “I have considerable money due me from some of the partners as soon as we can take it out.” Chandler also writes that his neighbors, the Burnetts, have a son who was in the battle of Mexico and is a lawyer who was recently elected as Senator from Yuba County. “Young Burnett is a very sociable fellow none of those starched up puppies that we see at Home he is only 25 yrs old he has gone to the Atlantic states to get him a wife so his mother says.” Chandler also mentions that he is frequently invited to tea with Mrs. Burnett, but pleads for Jane to not be jealous, “for the Old gent is generally about.” Notations in pencil on the first page at the top read: “1855”. Pencil marks highlight certain parts of the text.
