@--,.,,,,~ Jtht.,y Greek Divide.

We last week alluded to the fact that - D.
Smith, of the Clear Creek Ditch Company, was
about surveying the Whisky Greek Divide, with
the view Of running tunnel through it, so as TO
,.,yo portion of the water of his ditch into the
mines Immediately surrounding this place as
we'll as to the Lower Springs, Spring GrseS and
Rock Creek diggings.
So far as the immediate interests of this town
ere concerned, this is the most important work
ever projected in the county. 1t is well known
to hundreds of miners who have wintered in the
localities named, that, with plentiful supply OF
water, they contain vast amount OF ounce
diggiugs. To say nothing about the mines i'm
mediately north and east of town-which are
known to be rich-Gold Hill, which the ditch
would command, will alone furnish profitable
diggings, for years. for hundreds of men.
fu short, tie section of country within scope
of two or three miles north and east of town,
which would be supplied by this contemplated
ditch, wen1o give profitable employment to-
perhaps, Thousand men in addition to those
now at work in it. The benefits resulting to the
town from such an increase of population in oul
immediate vicinity, are therefore difficult to es-
innate.
During great portion of the year, large
amount of the water Of Clear Creek Ditch run'
TO waste fot the lack of demand in the Horse
town and Middletown diggings. With this ditci
in operation, then, its water could be properl.
apportioned to the two sections, so as 10 max
it all available for the purposes of the miner
Thus the ditch would not only prove more pro
ftable 10 The pfoprietors, but more beneficial

To DYsPEPTICs-We would call the attention
of those who are afflicted with this terrible COM
plant to remedy, which, from the modest way
its merits are set forward, might be overlooked
by many. 1t affords great relief and is, in al
most every instance, certain cure. We allude
to the Oxvgenated Bitfers, sold by Messrs. Seth
w. Fowle Co., 13s Washington street. This
is not heralded by mass of unmeaning certlf-
Gates from persons unknown to the public, bu,
few well chosen testimonials from members oi
Congress, and some of our 6rst merchants and
city officers who have been cured by its use, and
whose names are familiar to every Bostonian
are a sure evidence of Its efficacy. For dyspep-
sia, debility, and weakness, it is most excel
lent medicine. 1t may be had at any of the
