Tho Gold Mines.

Editor LiHla Rock True Democrat: Permit
me to place in your columns true and COR
rect statement of the new gold mines Oh the
Red Fork of the Arkansas river.
Three others and myself started from
Green county in Missouri, on the 18th day
of April, 1855, and reached the gold dig
gings on the 4th Of May. Our first bust
ness was 10 find if the gold was there as
had been represented. On the first day al
ter our arrival, we came 10 a branch and
found, on examining the bed, that il contain
ed vast quantity Of the precious METAL
We had brought nothing with us but frying
pans; but even with these on washing out
the first painful, we obtained SO 70 worth
of the gold dust. We stopped here several
days, averaging from $i75 to $3.50 per day.
We could have made more than we dld, but
we had nothing to dig with. We then pro-
cecded 10 a spring, which is the place where
the gold is said TO have been first discovered,
Here we found that the water, boiling up
ont of the ground, contained some small
humps of gold, and large quantity of dust.
went out 10 California in 1919, at the
time the gold was found in the greatest
abundance, and this beats California a
long ways. | have no doubt that if a man
had the right kind of gold rocker, he could
| get gold here as fast as he could count it,
/ We have been here month, and have made
some SO 500 each. There are about three
thousand people in the different mines, and
more coming in every day. There are So
many here that provisions are high; beef
eight 10 ten cents per h., flour 500 per bar
rel.
Some have returned home for the pur-
pose OF selling ont and bringing their fami-
lies here. The soil is good. The greatest
difficulty is the Yant Of water. If it was
not for that, this would be a good farming
country. The valleys are tolerably extern
sive and good land.
This, | believe, is as correct statement
as can give about the mines, and | have
been an eye witness to the facts, and give
them that the people may get the straight Of
| 1t. Yours, etc.,

ST, LOUIS MARKET.

The Republican of Sunday says Hemp, we
believe, is the only buoyant article on the market
at present. Late receipts found purchasers read
lily, and at the close the levee was nearly if not
entirely bare. Saturdays prices ranged from
500 to SLOT, with $50 bales on private terms,
supposed to have been at SllO or Sll2-taken by
Montreal buyer. This lot was a very choice
one, grown and prepared by ]. Campbell, of La
fayettc county, Mo. The demand is good from
almost every point where the staple is used. As
the June rise on the Missouri appears to be over
receipts will probably fall off, and The SUPPOSE
ton is that prices must improve.
Sales of Tobacco on Friday morning exhibited
perhaps, slight improvement on medium manu-
featuring and shipping leaf. There was no break
at either Warehouse the ensuing day. Lugsmay
be quoted at SIS to 50 80, shipping leaf So TO So
30 medium manufacturing So 80 10 50, fine $l2
TO SIS The sales for the season, thus far, are
few hhds. over those of The corresponding period
last season; showing, that although the general
receipts have been much less, the good ruling IA
of the market prevent the usual re-shipments TO
the South. The Western growing crop is said to
give very favorable promise, and large yield is
anticipated.
| The supply Of country -four continues limited.
! Good brands are in better demand, and we notice
no further reduction in prices. At the close su-
perfne brought 81 80. City manufacturers hold
above 81 80, but without sales A greater ac-
tivty is perceptble in wheat and one lot of 900
bushels of the new crop, to arrive, sold at 81 25.
Several other round lots disposed Of on terms not
made public. At the close, 81 80 TO 81 35 was
paid for new, immediate delivery, and 800 sacks
reached 81 37I. The market continues unset
| tied, and various views are taken regarding fu-
ture prices. Some entertain the opinion that the
market must drop to 100c., while others anticI-
pate an advance on present railing rates Corn
continues dull Buyers offer less than holders are
willing 10 take-so much less, that no concession
will probablybe effected for some time. The on
ly transaction Of any Importance, on Saturday,
was 538 sacks, mixed, new gunnies, at 55c. Small
Ter ots-less in each instance than 100 sacks
sold at sc to 624 mixed 10 white Oats, transac-
tons confined TO the city trade, at range of a
10 46c--shippers oiFering44.
