As soon a. get good opportunity, I
will send you some fine specimens Of Gold
Quartz and the Council Bluffs boys win
present the Bugls Once with specimen Of
Gold, IS token Of our appreciation Of the
zeal you have displayed In defending the
miners Of this section from the charge Of
having humbugged the world, and the rest
Of mankind. I think Rons Of those who
turned back after getting part way hare, will
agree With me that they were most beau
tifully humbugged.
Some OF cur citizens had 6ns tims on
the 4th Of July snow. balliag Ia the mean

for they have got through certain. WshRys
tiny family having arrived dare not say
any mere, had in our hands some chunks
Of Golds--weighing respectively, $22 50,
so g, and plenty Of Quartz very rich
Twould advise all who thiak Of coming
out this season. TO bring with them from
six to eight months provisions. Mining in
the mountains will be over by the middle Of
October, as the deep snow commences
about that time; still, there win be eonsid-
cradle done on the streams aud hTane hes
running out Of the mountains, during the
winter. Were I in the States now, woa Id
not pretend to come cut until next spring.
unless wanted to buy property OF gold
claims, which viii sell cheaper in the " in
ter than in the spring, as several who are
here Row viii leave for the States Ia course
Of the fall and winter.
Our Constitutional CONVENTION meets on
the hEst Monday In August, &nd think we
will have a pretty warm time. We ara
ende&voFing to steer clear Of politics, but
think we viii run into it, az we have any
amount Of old broken down politicians Of
both parties, and quite number who were
never initiated, bus are very anxious to be
placed on the track. You will see By the
Rocky Mountain Heaes that the miners are
getting oct with the Leageuworth and
Pixies Peak Express Company--th0 cause
is stated ia the paper.
I must close this, as Am OF for ths
mountains; viii write again as sooa IA /
return. Yours, truly,
