Messrs. Editors. the Indian war
bubble, every thing has settled down to a
perfect state of quietude, and for the last
three weeks the people have gone in right
good earnest to work-prospecting claims
yery mann of which, on being opened pros :
pect in silver entirely satisfactory to the
owners, aud will finally astound an ~"6e-
lieping world with their fabulous richness.
OF this truth there is no getting out OF 1t.
There are many claims in this and other
districts that prospect and rromase equalty
nell acith the celebrated Comstock Lieut., and
although everything III relation thereto is
kept perfectly still and will so remain until
the claims are thoroughly opened--the oe'm
or lead tested beyond peradventure, when the
owners will immediately take the necessary
steps for the reduction of the one on their
own account; thus giving, indubitable proof
of their worth and value. The days of
wild and foolish speculations 6uyinJ tneagln-
ary claims, are over-burled we trust IN
the dark abyss of the past never more to
be resurected: for the result has been both
injurious and unjIst; to cause dstrust IN
every statement, however, true and merl
torious, we here feel this sensibly; satisfied
with our prospects in the great future, let
weakness and the incredulous remain con
tent where they are and drape themSeIves
in the garb of self knowledge and concelt,
we are satisfied to 90 on to conquer and to
exhibit ere lone too to wondering world
the immense wealth of the Territory Of
Utah. Throughout the mineral region quiet
and der reign. The Tribunal Of Justice
is already making its mark among the Ill.
disposed sons of Old Adam; no noise save
that emanatng from the workmen Is to be
heard; there never was time when The
bone aud sinew Of man were more vigorous
" exercised in the prospecting OF claims
than at present, and every day Is some one,
of the many now busly at work, crowned
with entire success Many OF the old escapes
from Indian danger are returning; strangers
from all quarters, with their tamilles-wives
and children arrive every day IN large mum
bers and take up their permanent abode
among us. improvements are being made
daily around us good stone and fine brick
buildings are being put up; the latter now
is made close to Virginia. All these th ngs
gentlemen have their deep rooted meaning.
THE croahers Of the present dag will in few
months solve the answer.
Beside the mining district Of Virginia., the
districts OF the FIowery, Gold Hill, Devils
Gate, Argentine, Nevada Sullivan, E@gle,
su phon ct. al. give great promise of rich
yield of both GOLD and silver: but b1sta2te,
the proof of the pudding is in the ealing, and
unless Won partake you will not believe. %
