4 letter from an explores, dated Fort
Laramie, August 18th, published in the St.
Louis Republicans, gives an account OF the
recent gold discoveries on Platte River. AT
the date of the letter the writer had just
returned from Cherry Creek, where Capt
'Rassell, iof Georgia, had been very success
full. The writer saw where they had been
digging, and from the amount Of work done
at each place, and the amount Of gold OBJ
tanned, he thinks the prospect . very good
one. The product is said to be very irregu-
lar. The first diggings are about four miles
up the Platte river, and about half mile
from the river towards Cherry Greek. Here
two or three men would work with rocker,
while the others were on the look out for
better diggings and they made from seven
to ten dollars per man each day. After
working here a few days, getting all the
gold they could, they moved out about three
miles, and rather up the river in ravine |;
here they worked in the same way, making
from eight to ten dollars per day, till the
digging failed. Then they moved again to
the river about six miles from the first work,
and the proceeds were about as good. Mr..
Russell says he has got as much as 8 cwt.
per pan, aud the three men with the rocker
have obtained from one days washing Of
one hundred buckets Of earth, which they
had to pack fifty yards, 40 dwt. and Q gr.
As the result Of all their work and pros
peeting they obtained something this side OF
Eve hundred dwts. of gold, or about twenty
five ounces.
The writer examined the country for
several miles round and up the river, and
expresses the opinion that Eve and six del
lars per day can be obtained by several
hundred men, without any further discoy.
