~ A rDrrcs ponIrnt oi the st. louis Republican,
! writing from Aurarin under date Of January 18th
saSH:
In regard to the gold mines, would say that |
lnte taken much rains To gather all the intormn-
ton possible, and being IA trader here. have an
opportunity ol talking with men who nre pros
Ictius ia different sections Of the country huve
also visited the minrs where the few who work
arc engaged; and hive Travelled the whole length
of Cherry Creek. At first | had but little faith.
b, from all the information can get, wlnt |
have seen an heard, | believes the mines will pay
FROM tWo to- fifteen dollars per day to mn ndustri-
oue miner NJ rich leads have yet been found,
b,u oarh day OF my soourn here new dcvclopc-
/ ileni~ are made and am now led to believe that
this viii prove a good mining country. 1t does
MT resemble nuy part ot the California mines
which have worked, and holds no comparison to
hut country Yet gold is found in the prnircs
nnl high banks. 1t is very iine and drift gold;
and the most experienced miners are completely
haflcl in accounting for it. To this, however. let
mo add, lhat have met men who said they bad
rrpspcctci thoroughly, and had not found any
mines which would pay they are tired Of the
country, and some have left disgusted with it,
ARREST FOR FuRGERY.--lt will be recollected

ia,turer. The bank officer to whom the draft
presented held it up and Immediately pronounced
the signature forgery whereupon Fem snatched
ut it and tore off both ends and went out Of the
door with his companion who took part in
the transaction. Some of the officers of the bank
followed him immediately and found one of the
ends of the draft outside the door.
Fem and his companion were arrested at the
depot and on the person of Fem were found sew
eral drafts or checks on different banks signed
by himself among them one for S25 the City
Bank and one for the Same amount on the Trades
