The ST. Louis Democrat publishes letter of the
22d ult from Aurara and Denver City, from which
we extract the following:
The weather everywhere is as pretty as in the
month of June in the States no snow anywhere save
on the snowy range the grassy fields are green in
the valleys and mountain parks, and the full wheat
fields are sweet looking and Verdant, and spring,
with its cheering sensations, both to the miner
and farmer, has fully set in. The emigration from
these towns and valleys to the several mountain
forty to q hundred are seen vending their way up
the various roads to the various districts Of the
mountain gold regions, some with wagons and sum-
mer supplies, some with pack animals and some
with pair of blankets emily, on foot, having sent
their plumber ahead Of them. Discoveries Of rich
leads and fine gulch diggings have become SO COM
mon within the past week or two, that scarce
think which to state or specify first. Every day
brings reliable tdlngs of fine gold diggngs and fine
success in the old working ones. Last week, be-
yond Gregory's diggings, several nuggets were
found also, the richest quartz specimens, one of
which, taken out only about five feet below the
contained some So of the pure gold. A very fine
and large nugget of gold {,aota bdbyn) was lately
found by Judge McWhirt, from Illinois, in the Ne
vada gulch, weighing over one hundred penny
AT Tarryall, the Blue, and even beyond the
Snowy Range (which they have yet to cross with
snow shoes) persons are said to be finding good

rolling up their sleeves for the tug of war, and
taking out the golden particles in one shape or
another. A Mr.. Alexander, who went latelY TO the
head waters of the Arkansas, writes back to his
friends to come over, and that he las found gold
mines there everywhere. In the Blue, TarryalI

present working very remunerativey The miners
have resumed work everywhere here much sooner
and more vigorously than expected. Some very
rich leads and claims are now being daily discoy-
cred upon the very identical grounds that were
most travelled over last year and pronounced non

pecters. In the Nevada gulehes they have struck
tive.dolars-to-th e-pan places, only twenty feet
below the surface, and scarcely chunk of quartz
can be found about these sections that does not

nearly a score of steam quartz mills, per their
agent, who left here. Why cannot ST. Lonis nl.

even this summer, fall, and especially this winter

mountain regions, will support large trading and
