REPORT OF HORACE GREELEY AND OTHERS
on TIE PiKE's PEAK GOLD REGIoSs.--llorace
Greeley, Of New York, and two other gen
tlem.n, having visited the Pixies Peak gold
mines, have published II report of what they
saw. Their report concludes by protesting
against the inIatuatiou which has urged
thousands to hurry out TO that region uupre
pared II says that five thousand persons
are already reported in the ravines where
new discoveries have been made. The scar
city OF provisions and the difficulties of the
Journey are relcarscd, and those who hope
to be in the mines are warned that probably
by the middle OF October this whole Alpine
region will be showed under and frozen up"
To sum up, there is reported to be rich gold
mines, very little food, and a great multitude
of miners already OH the ground.
The report states that MIR. Dean, from
Iowa, on the 9th inst. washed from single
ran OF dirt taken from the claim, ST. So
and has been offered SO, 900 for the claim
:. g. Jones 4 Co., from Eastern Kansas,
nave run out sluices two days, with three
mcn; yield S222j per day. John II. Gregory
lac sold his claim for 81 900, and has been
prospecting for other parties at 5000 per
day. and struck another lead on tho oppo-
site sidc of the valley Zeiglcr, Spain & Co.
have taken out as h. as Si95 per day.
Some forty or fifty slulccs commenced, are
not yet III operation; but the owners inform
us that their prospecting shows from ten
cents to s. to the pan. .As the Leads" are
all found on the hills, many of the miners
arc constructing trenches TO carry water to
them, instead OF building their sluices i'll

come here without provisions or money, are
compelled TO work Is common laborcrs, at
from 81 to IS per day aud board, until they
can procure means OF sustcnance for the time
necessary TO prospecting building sluices,
DC. Others, not finding gold the third day,
or dislikins the work necessary to obtaining
it, leave the mines i'll disgust, after IL very
short trial, declaring there is no gold III
paying quantities. 1t should be rcmember-
cd that the discoveries made thus far are the
result of but five weeks labor.

The Spanish Ministers recently asked of the
Cortes an appropriation for increasing the
ornaments of Spain in view Of the state of
Europe. The increase asked for by the Min
listers was granted with but one opposing
vote. 1t is evident that the Spanish states
men believe that the war in Italy will ex-
tend over the whole of Europe, or that it
will eventually lead to a general European
contest. In this case, Spain cannot avoid
becoming involved, and though her leaders
desire to keep out Of cntangling alliances, it
is evident that the Spanish feeling runs more
in favor of France than Of England. SurF a
contest, it is believed, would endancer the
Spanish colonies, and this belief was openly
expressed.
