NEAREST TRADING POINTS.
Omaha has an advantage over other
places on the Missouri river. She is most
certainly the neares. trading point We have,
and if her enterprisins merchants will show
her advantage By Offering Inducements for
be bui!s up, to her own and cur benefit. TO
Council Bluffs also, in close connection, may
be applied the same advantageous position,
and jointly they could form strong team
in the way Of supplies.
We know that some Of the merchants in
these places buy heavy stocks, and are capa-
bic of doing heary business; and to those
of on. citizens of this mining region who
dispatch teams to the Missouri for supplies,
-fr nd
Bluffs a trial, and as the best index to liber-
al minded merchants, we say examine our
advertisements, and you will be sure to find
the place TO purchase goods quick sales and
small profits being the desidera,um Of the
advertiser.
CALIFORNIA GuLcH, OK THE ARKANSAS.
The miners are all very busily engaged at
work on their claims. Some prospecting
and. opening of them, and some of them
taking out the dust in very satisfactory
quantities. Every few days some amateur
mountaineer strikes new deposit, in and
about tais gulch and as general thing they
are very richly rewarded. Side or bank
claims have been struck almost the entire
length of the gulch, and are paying exceed
ngly well. 10 part Of days work three men
took ont of bank claim one hundred and
twenty-eight d1llars. Another claim paid
eighty dollars 10 two men. In the gulch
where the best pay streak has been struck
the dirt has averaged eighty cents to the
pan. One dollar and twentyfv cents to
the pan are very frequent. Eighty dollars
we're taken out Of two bushels Of Dirt
Thyoughon. the entire sulch where the best
pay streak has been struck the pay averages
fifty dollars to the man. As the claims are
opened The pay becomes more satisfactory
throughout the gu!ch. Some of the gold
is very coarse, and nuggets weighing from
$3.50 10 1900 are very frequent. Quite
a number Of new discoveries have been
made in this vincinity. The McNnl,y gulch
stands next to the California guch in rich
ness. 1t is situated some seventy miles
from here 10 north easterly direction, al
most immen,, tely on the summit of the
snowy range. The sc|ch runs down the range
on either side. The god is coarse, much
more so than any found yet. Owl1s to the
depth of snow and the extreme cod io'a'
ton Of the gulch it has been worked bat
very little as yet.
