Pixies PEAK MINEs.-We have dates from
Denver City to the 7th of June According
to the papers, the placer mines are paying
well. The Denver City Bulletin has the
following figures concerning the probable
product of gold The best mill now at work
is making S275 per day. 1t has but a six
horse power engine, and six stamps The
amalgamator and gold separator works but
imperfectly. and there is scarce a doubt but
full one-half the gold is carried off with the
tailings. Taking double the yield of this
mill as an average-certainly very low one
as no mill will he of less capacity, and many
of them four times as great-the one hundred
mills that will be running on the lst of Octo-
Der will give a return of $4,000 daily or
S350,00O per week. Add to this the product
of the arastas and water mills, say $50 coo:
the yield OF the gulches and placer diggings
in and around Boulder and Gregory, another
100000; the Clear Greek mines at $4,000;
add S26o000 for the mines of the Middle
and South Parks, Arkansas, Blue and Grand
rivers, and we have a grand total of $780,
600 per week or SO 000, 900 each month.

CHARLES SUMNER By teegraphic dis
patches from Washington, We learn that an
attempt is being made to get up a second
row about Charles Sumner-with a view of
producing an effect upon the Presidential
election. His late speech in the Senate was
in bad taste, and was altogether uncalled for.
The man who will, in his place in the U. S.
Senate, take advantage of his position to in
iame the passions of one portion of the coun.
try for the purpose of exasperatug another
portlon,is is an enemy to the whole country
and unworthy of the exalted station of a
Senator. We believe all this talk about his
being threatened is nothing but CANNON, and
Is gotten up for political effect. The sooner
the Senate is relieved from the presence of
aSitators, North and. SSaE th the better will it
be for the country and the welfare of the
people. 1t would be, doubtless a God send
to the Republican party if somebody could
be induced to assault Sumner and there is
no doubt but that the speech was intended
to produce that result lt-Boston Herald.
