From the Gold Mines.

We have seen at the store of Messrs
Beck & johnson lot of gold dust, some
ninety-two dollars in value, which was
brought from the newly discovered gold
fields which lie, according to the map, in
the region of the headwaters of the South
Platte and Arkansas river, and in the
vicinity of Pixies Peak. This is, we
believe, the general locality of the gold
section of country, though the most au-
riferous is perhaps that lying between the
waters of the South Platte and the Green
horn, and which has been prospected for
several hundred miles. The specimen Of
the dust we have seen was brought to New
Mexico by DIR. Kavanaugh, who. during
his recent absence from the Territory,
travelled over much of the country alluded
to, and who has handed us the following
memorandum of gentleman who, as will
be observed, has himself prospected con-
siderable over the country.
II have been seventy-fve miles up the
South Platte, and found gold all the way:
from hence went to Medicine Bow Creek,
and found gold on nearly every stream,
including Medicine Bow. The best dig
gings found are on the north side of the
divide between the Arkansas and the
South Platte, in the ravines. The best
result found was four dollars to the pan.
Gold was also found on the Arkansas and
Greenhorn. The entire region abounds
in the best grazing, and has a cool and
very healthy climate.-SQnta Fs, Nes0

From The Mines.

6Mr. John Flanderran and james Ensign
arrived in this city yesterday, direct from
the Cherry creek diggings, and, from their
report, we are enabled to lay before our
readers not only the latest, but we think
an entirely authentic, account Of affairs St
the mines. Il
These gentlemen left Capioma, Atch-
SON county, on the Goth Of February last,
taking the southern route, and arriving st
Pixies Peak on the 9th Of june. They
have been about twenty Five days on their
return route. They bring with them
about 5000 worth of the thin, shining
scales, and carry it in jug, which, on
their outward trip, did more prosaic service
as receptacle of Bourbon. The largest
pieces we saw were not larger than, and not
unlike in shape, a fattened No. shot,
They say that any able bodied man can
easily wash from six to sixteen dollars per
day. About two thousand persons are In
the mines.
They returned for a more complete out
ct, and will leave Elwood on the LIST OF
April, with abundant supplies and proper
machines for extensive gold washing
They met none of the parties who have
heretofore left this place.--Esoood Press

A ..cu,.oa,, to ,hs SAINT. F. Travel.

The Emporia Nescs has long been argu-
ing in favor of an improvement of roads
between that place and this, and very
properly has asked the assistance of Kan

Gifted by vast increase of trade from
that quarter. The Santa Fe road runs too
far north of the Neosho Valley to make
it desirable route of travel from there
here, and to do which makes consider
able bend, thereby increasing the distance
between this and the Gold region. The
Ne-cs now states that measures are on foot
in that vicinity to run a road from Empo-
ria west, along the Cottonwood river al
most its whole length, and thence on to
an intersection with the old road at the
Great Bend of the Arkansas. Bridges
will be constructed on the route across
the Little Arkansas, Turkey and Cow
creeks. In view of securing trade from
the gold-hunters, large, frst-class -four
