From the Mines.

For near a week past news received al
this point from the mines is Of the most
unfavorable character. Trains are re-
turning every day, having been turned
back by the discOuraging reports of those
they met coming back from the mines.
One gentleman informed Us that on the
main road, he thought there were more
now returning than going out.
Letters have been received since our
last, by relatives in this place. from those
Of our citizens who went ont first this
Spring, advising them to stay AZ home.!''
Mr.. Hewett, brother Of Judge Hewett
of this city, and who also left here in
February has been to the mines and re-
turned yesterday. He left Cherry Creek
on the Goth OF April. He reports the
mining districts in the valleys not worth
working; hut INDUCES in the hope that
something encouraging may yet be found
in the mountains. He says there is great
dissatisfaction among those reaching the
mines this Spring; and thousands are re-
turning in a suffering condition in many
instances, and greatly exasperated. He
thinks a train of supplies could not ad-
vance far on the plains before those re-
turning and suffering for food would take
possession; in fact in some instances this
has already been done. =
Reports have been in circulation here
for several days past, that such were the
feelings of disappointment Oh the part Of
those reaching the mines this Spring, that
they had murdered the leading men of Au-
roria and Denver and burned the towns.
Such is, or was not the case when Mr..
Hewett left. The difficulty between Scud-
der and Bassett. which resulted in the death
the latter, had occurred while Mr.. Hewett
was there, and which he reports TO have
been a personal affair between those two
individuals, growing it is true, u Of what
was charged by the former to have
been misrepresentation on the part of
the latter, in regard to the gold prospects.
Two men had been hanged for commit
ing murder. These, Mr.. Hewett informs
US, are the only cases of violent death In
the gold regions. The most excitement
he has witnessed is among turning back.
We hear of news having been received
at other points along the river, within a
few days, of a favorable character
stating that those in the mountains were
doing well.
Several gentlemen who came in from
the mines to Omaha, passed down on the
Iatan this week, on their way to the States,
to return with their families. This is the
news as we get it, and our readers can
form their own conclusions.
While our ideas, and advice to those in
the States wishing to come West, is as
always heretofore. viz: they can do better
this season at least, along the Missouri
in Nebraska and Kansas, than by going
to the gold regions; our faith in the ul-
innate success of the mines is mistaken.
All agree and report scale or float gold
found scattered promiscuously all over the
country along the base Of the mountains.
Where this is the case, there must be a
fountain head, and it viii YET be discovered
There has been no prospecting yet by any
man or company sufficient to warrant or
recommend an abandonment. in our
opinion.
