Dear Col Sometime during the COM

Mining operations which has been car
ried on to limited extent during the win
are now beginning ia earnest; the mill-men
are making all necessary repairs for grand
attempt at gold saving the coming summer.
A new process for gold saving has been in
troduced into some of the mills which is
working well the process is only known to
a few who are making quite handsome spe-
culations out it. Among those who are
operating in this manner is Jim" Brown,
formerly Of North McGregor. He was at
my place this morning and on being told
that ! intended writing you during the
day wished to be remembered and to say
what gold he could not save under his new
process was not worth saving. lie is ope-
rating on mill very near ME now and
shall be able in a. few days to judge what
his plan is worth.
Mills, as a general thing, are beginning to
take out more gold as the season advances.
The Laclide mill, owned by St. Louis Co,
situated very near me, took out Of III
cords Of quartz, s4,567; they were two
weeks running this through at cost of
about eight hdndred dollars all told, leav-
ing nett proceeds $4,000. Such runs are
uncommon at present, but ere another year
has rolled around the reverse will be the
case. Surely it will be, if Browns plans
are half as good as he says: he claims that
he can take f.om quartz which only yielded
from forty to sixty dollars per cord, from
$3.50 to $500. If so we have all got for
tunes.
The winter has been pleasant here, more
so than many anticipated. We have had

Spring has come at last; bright skies,
sunshine and flowers are the order of the
day. April (from Aperio to open) asserts
her genial sway, opening the murky
clouds to let the sunlight down to the cold
earth, opening the swelling buds of the
trees and tho beautiful flowers. Let us
hope it will open our hearts for kindly
thoughts to dwell therein, that we may love
one another, and dwell together in peace
and unity.
Our roads have been nearly impossible
for some days. Business win now revive.
Vast quantities of grain 60 down the river
daily to the Southern market; every boat
is loaded to the Gil. Lake Pepin is now

No material change in the markets has
taken place since our last issue. The late
Democratic victories throughout the entire
north will serve in some degree to inspire
confidence in trade. N. Y. City is suffer

for its repeal. 1t was one Of the first laws
