Daring the past week the various intelligence
from tho mines and mountain co'd tclds is Of
the most cheering and substantial character.
The weather has been as fine rs summe; and
gold digging, gold washing. and s1uicing have
been vigorously and profitahly carried on
throughout all sections of tue mines. In Rus
sells Gu!ch aud Grcgory's D1GGss'ngs thousands
arc at work quarr5ing ont rich gold-bearing
quartz ready for the crushcrs, and in the Tarry-
all. Blue River and ueadwaters Of the Arkansas
gold fields, hundreds are vigorously digging
md washing out the gold dust, aud gold nuggets
now and theu-some small and some Of haud-
some size There is large emigration every
dag going up from all parts Of these valley
towns. and may say in measure, that the
springs work is only commenced. We beliere
before eren two months moreEthere will be as
ton'shing discoveries md tue richest gold de-
relorments here made that tho most sauguiue
miner here can wish for. Rich Lends are daily
discovering, rich gulch and patch diggings are
daily aud weekly made. Every man in the
mountain mines is either enthusiastically Ut
work preparing his c1aim, or else joyfully ut
work washing cut his gu1ch.b bog. The arrivals
in Gregory's Diggings alone are about fifty per
day. The Freeze lend, in the Nevada District
is paying in places fve dollars to the pan-on
reaching only twenty feet below. Clark and
Vandeyenter's mill is crushing out the gold
daily. with its nine-llorse power and six man,
moth stampers, and works very satisfactorily,
Mr. Tandeycnter. the agent Of Gates d Co.'s
Eagle Works, Of Chicago, has receised orders
for dozen odd mills Of the aborc manufacture
Your Chicago quartz mill mauutactory is highly
thought Of here, and their machines arc consid-
cred the very best brought here. Quartz mill a
! worked by water power could be advantage
ously sct up oil along Clear Greek, and We think
| t1at at least thousand Of them would find
sufficient aud very profitable employment here
! as soon as established. Gusch claims in the
Htuc aud Tarryal Diggings, aud also in tue
Norwood District, are now paying from twenty
| to fifty cents 10 the pan. In our future corres-
| pondcnce we shall Glse you more extensive and
definite, particularly of the latest actual work

to Forthcoming gold diecers.
