THE above Company now offer inducements
L unequalled by any Town Company in the
Territory.
The Company have just completed the largest
Hotel in southern Kansas being three stories
high and containing twenty -four large, commO-
diOus sleeping and sitting rooms. In addition
to the hotel, the Company have built q large
Storehouse, which will soon be well filed with
all the commodities needed in q country like
ours. A large number Of carpenters are now at
work erecting residences, shops, offices, &c. The
Company offer great inducements to mechanics
and others, wishing to locate. The town, from
its central location, being the geographical Gen.
| ter of Bourbon county, must always command
an extensive trade and soon become an impor-
tant town in southern Kansas, as it Is surround
ed by as GOOD FARMING LANDS as were
ever titled By the husbandman.
CLAIMS.-Good and desirable claims can be
obtained in close proximity to town and timber.
Marmiton is splendidly and must be health
fully located, bong on high rolling prairie
| 1t has beautiful streams OF water washing Its
northern and southern limits. An excellent
STEAM SAW AND GRIST MILL
has lately been erected, and is now in successful
operation.
| CLIMATE.-Marmito is situated in latitude
81 50, and Longitude, IL > AZ west from Wash
ington, The Thermometer does not indicate a
| higher degree of heat than ninety, and never in
the winter gets below zero. Farmers and Me-
| chanicS find no Inconvenience in doing outdoor
work in the winter season. Cattle, hogs, sheep,
| ETC., do well on the prairie during the entire
year. There is always pleasant breeze in the
hottest days Of summer, which makes the heat
less oppressive than in many Of the northern
States. Lots will be sold at exceedingly low
figures to persons desirous of building.

Gold Excitement.


1t will be recollected by many of cur
readers that party of young men started
from this place, some ten weeks since, for
Pixies Peak, to dig gold. The failure of
the company in that place was complete
and discouraging. The gold hunters of
the region, however, "prospected" until
they discovered gold in considerable guam
titles, and below we give the nature of
the discovery, as we select it from the
Kansas City Journal Of Commerce:
Mr.. John Cantrell, well known in, and
long resident of Westport, has just ar
rived, being twenty-one days out from
the Cherry Creek mines. This is a sand
creek, and flows into the South Platte
He brings specimens of gold that he dug
himself. 1t is what is known as "foat
gold," and having seen it, we unhesitat-
ingly pronounce it the pure stuff.
Mr.. Cantrell being at Fort Laramie,
heard of prospecting party on the South
Platte, and Immediately started. He met
party of fifteen, headed by Green Rus
sci, Of Georgia, from whom he learned
that they had been successful. Seven of
them had made over $1,000 in ten days.
Examining the places visited by Russels
party, about four miles above the mouth
Of Cherry Greek, Mr.. Cantrell found that
the dirt would yield. from seventeen to
twenty cents to each pan; and he thinks
that if properly worked, one man can
make from $20 to $25 per day. The
mines will average with those of Califor-
MIA, in which Mr.. Cantrell is expert
enced, having spent several years in
them.
The country in the neighborhood is
healthy; it is good for farming; grass and
game abundant. Mr.. Cantrell has two OF
three bushels of sand from the mines on
the way in, which will arrive in few
days. and persons who are curious, can
examine for themselves.
Mr.. Cantrell is the only person direct
from the mines. Being well known here
his word is undoubted, and we do moi
hesitate to let the world know his opinion
and hear the news he brings, feeling con-
fdsnt that his statements may be relied
on
Gentlemen from this town saw MI
Cantrell, and the real gold, which is some
satisfaction. Mr.. G. has been an exten.
sve Santa Fe trader for the past few
years, and he is represented as being a
gentlemen Of integrity. He brought three
ounces Of gold, which he dug himself
A party of nine mountaineers have re-
turned to Westport for tools, outfits, &c
All of them have fine specimens of gold
The following, from the Wsstport Star o
Empire, gives the locality:
In order to give a correct idea of tn,
locality of these new mines, we will stat
that they are on Cherry Creek, one of tn
most southern branches of the Soutl
Platte, in the center of the best huntin;
grounds of the Rocky Mountains. Gam
exists in great abundance, and plenty o
timber, water and grass. They are il
latitude 80 Q and doubtless extend to al
streams of that region. The waters o
the Arksnsas and South Fork of the Platt
rise together about the same parallel, anC
no doubt all partake of the same aurifer
Gus character.
