The Mines.
Much excitement has prevailed, for q few
days past, respecting new discoveries in the
lead was found one day last week, BY young
man named Berry, who had previously no
mining experience whatever. Az the depth
OF three feet some Of the most astonishingly
rich specimens ever found were taken out.
Among them are nuggets and pieces Of quarts
| rock encased in scales or leaves Of gold, .
thing unknown before in the history Of lead
mining. Claims were staked ont with rapid.
ity, in every direction from the discovery
hole, and some Of them have been sold at
fabulous prices. The discoverer has sold
the greater share OF his interest In the die
covery, we understand, for . good price,
Sons are of opinion that 1t is only 'pocIS
ct" or feeder to another lead, and il 10 doubt
ful whether there is really continuous lead.
We are indebted to our friend, Charley Brass
Ter, for the following items respecting ops-
rations:
| On the German Lead, in Mountain City,
two shafts have been sunk to q depth OF
thirty feet, where yield OF four dollars to
the pan is found. The crevics is from six
teen to twenty inches wide.
l.. Peck & Co., on the Foot Simmons
lead, are getting seventy-fve cents to the
pan, at the depth of twenty six feet--erevics
eight inches wide.
The Gunnell lead ia being opened through
out its entire length. One shaft has reached
depth OF ninety-six feet. The average
yield is about 5000 per cord Of dirt and rock.
Capt. Packard has opened the Mammoth
lead, and taken out about 1000 bushels OF
pay dirt, which yields an average Of ffty
cents TO the pan. He will begin washing as
soon as water can be obtainei.
E. P. Waters has about 5000 bushels oil
pay dirt taken out and piled up from the
Bobtal lead, which pays an average Of one
| dollar to the pan.
Barnes d Day are opening q vein Of silve,
ore, which is about five feet wide and very
rich.
The remainder OF our report 10 gather et
from various sources that we deem reliable
Many new discoveries OF value have beer

Gulch mining 10 generally resumed, ant
miners are making from two to Eve dollar
each per day.
Many Of the old claims on tho Russell
Gulch have been jumped, their former own
ers having failed to record them, as require,
by miners law.
The new district farther west, near th
Snowy range, still attract much attention
though but little can possibly be known o
them for some weeks TO come.
But little news has come from the Par
and Blue river since our last issue. Som
new discoveries, thirty miles south Of larry
all, are reported as very rich. People Or
still leaving daily for that region.
A flying rumor that party were maxim
from twenty to twenty Eve dollars each pc
day, on tributary of the Arkansas river
south Of the Park, has been prevalent for
few days past, but We deem ii too good 10
true, though We have no doubt good mine
are being worked in that region.
