other, the parties met, and regular pitched bat
tie between them was the consequence. The
one who came out second best sued the other

up and defend the suit.

MORE GOLD AND RICH DIGGINGS--ARRivAL AT
KANSAS CITY OF MR.. JOHN HosroN.
The kansasJ ournal Of Commerce of We'd
nesday, the 10th ult., says
Mr.. John Hoston arrived in this city yester-
day, having left Fort Laramie on the Sd inst,
Ie brings most important and interesting news
from the gold mines Of the Arkansas, Pixies
Peak Cherry Greek.
All the Indian traders about the Fort, aud
in the vicinity Of Deer Greek, were renewing
their goods 20 the mines. He saw atthe Fort
a Mr.. jackson, who had several hundred dol
lars worth of the dust. The greatest excite
nlent existed at Fort Laramie.
The miues were poorly provided with bread
STUBS. not having over Two months supplies
on hand. They were also entirely destitute of
mining tools. Picks and shoveIs were worth
their welghtin gold-in fact, they could not be
had at any price.
There was not n rocker in the mines, and no
sheet iron with which to make riddles.
Mr.. Benjamin Clemmore is. now coming in.
and will be here in eight or ten DAYS, bringing
some FIVE hundred dollars of the gold, which
be oblalued in about two weeks without apy
tools.
There are now about $50 mon in the mines,
most Of whom are engaged in prospecting Cher
~ Greek, and In the vicinity of the Medicine
Bow. Seven men worked two weeks, and
made $500. with nothing but pans. These
are, in short, the particulars furnished us by
MT. Horton, who is o man well known to
every business man in this city. This is Ger.
tainiy the the most gratifying intelligence tina,
we have published for several weeks, and it is
the more cheering ipasmuch as it comes from
a man ne all know, and upon whose wcrd we
can rely.
In another column, the same paper from
which the above is taken. says:
ln another column we give some late and
news from Pixies Peak. On our first
page, however, will be found some very dis
conraging news from the gold regions. 10
which the most credit shall be given, we are
unable to decide. Our effort is solely to give
the public all the news we receive, whether for
or against at Pixies Peak.
