Chev- auxdefrise, Dog and Den run are its principal branches.
The chief Southern tributaries of the South fork are Bear run, Laurel, Dutchman, Leatherbake, Gass run, Spruce and Bone creeks, Otterslide and Middle fork, all of which flow in a parallel northwest course.
The North Fork of Hughes river, which rises in the ex- treme north-eastern corner of Ritchie county. is the central draining system of the Northern portion of the county. It flows southwest in a meandering channel for fifty-seven miles to its juncture with the South fork. Its northern tributaries are : Cabin, Sheep, Silver, Big Bukey and Bear runs, Bond's creek, Lost, Stuart, Bunnell, Spring, Poplar Lick and Sugar runs, the largest of which are Bond's creek. and Bunnell's run.

Elm and Addis run follow nearly parallel west courses less than one mile apart, from the divide to the South fork (five miles) to the North fork, four, and two one-half miles, respectively, below Cairo. The other tributaries reach the river in nearly parallel northwest courses with an average length of from four to five miles.
Lynn Camp rises on the divide to the north of Pullman. and flows three miles in a north-easterly direction, and then turns back to the northwest parallel to the other stream for three miles to the river.
Goose creek has its source near the northern line of the county, at the divide to French creek (of Pleasants county ), ( and follows a winding channel for twenty-eight miles and empties into the Kanawha river at Freeport, across the Wirt county line. It forms the line between Wood and Ritchie counties for six one-half miles north of its mouth, and the Baltimore and Ohio railroad follows it for six miles-from Volcano to east of Petroleum.
