DENVER CITY, JEFFERSON T2R.,
June 9th, 1860.

June 9th, 1860.
Mr.. EplroR:-I guess there cannot be Il
great many people lett in the States. 1t seems
to me that the most of them are coming out
here. 1t is perfectly surprising to see the
amount of migration to this place. Our streets
are jam fuIl' of teams coming in aud going
out to the different mines.
Last Winter knew nearly every one in town;
now don't know any one, comparatively speak
ing; all are strangers New stores and shops of
all kinds are spnnging up On every hand. Bald
ngS are being put up rapidly, both brick ana
frame Among other buildings which ara in
course Of constru "ton Is brick one, to be oc-
cupied a. Post Office. Mr.. WIN. p. Mcclure,
formerly OF St. Louis, has received the appoint
ment of Postmaster for this city. and according
to the contract which was advertised to be
awarded to the lowest responsible bidder on the
first of this month, we are to have U. s. Mail
from and after the first OF July. But il il is to
be only q weekly mail, we will still be obliged
TO receive an send many of our letters by Ex-
press, which will run daily.
You can Judge Of the amount of business done
average of ssucn thousand letters per week now
received by it. The coach comes in three times
each week. bringing in over 1900 and large
mail OF papers each time. If it is so large now,
what will it be after the first of July when near
| " all of the emigration will have arrived p
More than doub e, or triple, anticipate.
1t seems that Congress is determined not to
do any thing for us during this session A bill
was introduced into the House for the organi-
cation of Idaho" the name now proposed loI
this Territory, but was tabled by small ma
iority. Some of the Republicans. both in the
| House and Senate, deserved and received many
thanks from the people of this Territory for thei
untriug efforts in our behalf
The population OF this Territory after the Isl
of August, will not at any time be less thar
$50 900 to 200 900, without the slightest form
of a government that is recognized But il moth
ing better can be had, believe the better dis
posed part of our.p3ople will support the Pro
! visonal Government.
THE MINES
The new disc overes on the head of the Ar
kansas attracting considerable attention a
present, and many are going there to seek th'
precious: dust, Encouraging and reliable re
ports are coming in from there daily. have Ut
doubt there are some very rich diggings in tha
vicinity but | think it will be but q small per
centoge of those who are going there that Wi
succeed in securing rich claims.
The mines in the Gregory district are being
worked extensively this season, and large quaint
ties Of the glittering ore e are taken out as a re
suit Of the labor OF the hardy miners III that dis

! The TarryaIl and Blue River mines are among
the richest in the country, and dust from ther,
is worth 81 per ounce more than that from
Gregory.
The Boulder. Clear Creek aud other mines are
also being worked to greater or less eX ent
but are not attracting much attention.
