Gold in Kansas TerritOry--The Pike Peak
Mines--Eirst Arrival of tsOid DHst ut Ram
From the Kansas City Journal
We were surprised this morning (Aug. 26)tomeet
Mons. Bordeau and company, old mountain traders,
Just in from Pixies Peak.
They came for outfits tools, etc, for working the
newly discovered gold mines on Cherry Creek, a
tributary Of the South Platte.
They bring several ounces 0! gold, dug uP by the
trappeTs Of that region, which, in fneuess equals
the choicest Of California specimens.
Mr.. John Cantrell, an old citizen of Westport,
has three ounces which he dug with a Ratchet
in Cherry Greek and washed out with q frying
pan.
Mons Richard, an old French trapper, has seve-
raj ounces of the precious DUST which he dug Will
an axe.
Mons Doessinette has several rich specimens
The party consists of rne men, all Of them old
mouutaneers, who spent their lives in the noun.
tains. Mons. BOTdeau has been in the States fol
nine years until the present time. -H-
We have RETAINED from giving too great credencc
to these gold discoveries until assured of their truth
but it would be unjust TO the country longer to with
hold the facts, of which there can no longer be s
doubt. cl
Kansas City is alive with excitement and parties
are already preparing for the diggins.
THE LOCALITY OF 1HE MINES. s
In order to give correct idea of the locality o.
/ these new mines, We will state that they are on
Cherry Greek, one of the most Southern branches o.
the South Platte, in the center Of the best hunting
I grounds If the Rocky Mountains Game exists il

extend to al the streams Of that region. The wa
! ters Of the Arkansas and the South Fork of thu
Platte rise together about the same parallel anC
