During the last month the rainy season has continued
in the mountains, preventing miners from pursuing
thsir laborsproducipg considerable sickness in the
shape Of the so.caled mountain fever of which some
twenty persons died. much larger number among
whom the pioneer Gregory, were obliged to leave
the dggngs in consequence of less violent vstaOns by
the came disease. For about week, however, the
rains have ceased TO prevail in the mountains, and
mining is again actively carried on.
Upon my arrival was greeted with glowing reports
of alleged discoveries Of in mepsey nch diggngs, at

The Pike's Peak Gold Reporter, a new paper estab-

saved which now escapes IN the muddy water.
