(DENvER, AURAR1A AND HIGH
LAND, March, %, 1860.
The emigration arriving, the serenity
of the weather, and the reaction in city
business of all kinds here, has re-opened
and re-invigorated on au enormous scale
the activity of the gold seekers and the
gold diggers. Hundreds are going up
to remain and work on their claims ev-
cry day from here also scores of new
hands are going to hunt up, discov-
er, steal, jump or buy a good gulch or
quartz claim, so as to become a fixture
there and make good strike before the
sea of emigration arrives here, by the
1St of June.
We hear from almost all parts of the
mines and sections of the mountains
from day to day, as well as converse
with parties returning hither for more
provisions, aud from the sum and sub
stance of all their reports-duly weigh
ed and shrewdly balanced-we must
say that great things are even now be-
ing done in the several districts and
diggings From four to fourteen, and
some forty, fifty and one hundred dol
lars per day to the man are being TAX
en- out of gulch claims in Lake Gulch,
Russel's Gulch, the Norwood districts,
in Tarryall, and other various placers
In the lead or quartz claims there are
as high as five to nine hundred dollars
to the cord of quartz rock being at
present yielded by the mills in the Grin
mel lead and elsewhere. In the pay
dirt crevices of the German lead and
the Bob-tail and Gold Hill leads, they
are washing therefrom as high as five
dollars to the pan of dirt In the
quartz leads they are washing out,at an
average, five hundred dollars from each
solid cord of dirt; also five and six
hundred dollars from each cord or rock
in Packard's mammoth lead and other
leads, in Gregory's districts, twenty to
fifty miles apart.
New discoveries are being made eve
ly day of rich gulch and lead claims,
and diggings heretofore unknown or I'M
noticed. On Clear Greek there are sew
eral very rich discoveries made the past
matchmaking SO, 81 and So per sin
gle pan from the surface down.
ARRIVALS HERE FROM CHICAGO AND THE
STATES.
Every express coach that arrives here, |
weekly and sometimes two per week;
brings on from six to nine persons here,
chiefly SPECTATORS, quartz mill proprie-
ors, capitalists and tourists. They all
out up at the great new first class ho-
eel Of Denver City-the "Broadwell
on as comfortable and
,ommodious q style as any first-class
lotel in your Western cities anywhere.
After partaking few days Of its living
md luxuries, they start around these
owns buying property, making their
business arrangements, or take trip
II the coach to the various towns up in
he mountain mines.
Everybody is amused and astonished
lpon arriving here with the extent and
Of these progressive cities Of
Auraria and Denver; and many CAPT
alists pitch in the first day to buy up
hoice central business property on the
Anraria and Denver sides of Cherry
reek, for the purpose of specializing
herein, selling out perhaps in a few
months, for double or treble, or for hav-
ne a storehouse or residence immedi-
.tely erected for his stock or family.

d. r. Frazer, ESQ.,, Of Gates g Co.'s

'er last weeks express, and is now ma
ing arrangements for establishing
arge branch Foundry Works in Aura
Ia, for which fine and very valuable
block of lots was secured and donated
" the Auraria Town Company. We
ejoice to see this, and we believe the
'roprietors of these machine works will
make, in the next few years, an ''etern-
j fortune" thereby.
