Reports from our neighboring camp, Osceola, are also good. The Osceola Company, of which Godbe & Hampton of Salt Lake are at the head, have at last concluded to bring in water to their placer ground, of which they own some 400 acres. Bishop Black of Deseret, Utah, having obtained the contract to cut the ditch, will be on the ground in a few days with some 200 Mormon peons, those men, it is said, having agreed to work for $1 a day and board; those with teams $3 per day. They expect to have the ditch finished by the time the snow will commence to melt next Spring.
